Sahesri and Vette were walking through the market on Nar Shaddaa when they found him.

A rather large Twi'lek man was selling the beasts in a corner of the pavillion, before they saw him, they could smell the menagerie of beasts that he was curating. A variety of creatures in all shapes and sizes. They had time before they were due to meet their contact so they were killing time and looking at the animals was a good enough way as any to kill some time.

Vette peered into the cages, some creatures were harmless things like gizka but others were definitely more deadly, Sahesri leapt away from a large cage when a Boma beast from Onderon growled at him.

But then Vette stopped at one cage and grinned at the creature in it.

"Sahe come here."

The Zabrak Sith looked into the cage, puzzled. "What is it?"

A small reptilian creature with white skin stared back at them. It's large yellow eyes blinked a few times and it yawned, exposing a mouthful of very large teeth.

"Excuse me, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with this creature."

"Oh my lord! That is a special hybrid Horranth from Tython. But that creature would certainly not suit a person of your station. Perhaps you'd like to look at a Boma or a Kath hound? They've been trained by the best for combat."

"Tython you say?" He knelt down next to Vette in front of the little creature's cage and held his gloved hand out to it. "Imagine what the Jedi would think, seeing us run around with an animal from their homeworld."

"I can think of an even better reason" Vette said with a mischeivous sparkle in her eye. "Imagine how Captain Stuffy would react to this little guy running around the ship."

Sahesri grinned. "Now there we go! So tell me sir, will he get any bigger?"

"Oh no my lord. He'll never be able to take down someone himself but once you get those teeth around a man's ankle there's no letting go."

"Hmm...you have yourself a deal sir."

Vette grinned and as Sahesri went to negotiate with the vendor about payment, she pressed her hand against the horranth's cage and whistled.

The creature walked up against the bars and cautiously sniffed her hand and sat down in front of the bars. And in that moment they had an understanding, the creature knew that it was being given a new home. A new home amongst a powerful Sith.

The beast vendor helped Vette and Sahesri to place a leather harness on to their new pet and attached a chain to the harness, handing it to Sahesri who was quite surprised as the creature pulled him towards the cantina.

"I think he's hungry." Sahesri said with a laugh as Vette jogged to keep up with them.

They sat in the cantina and received many stares towards their new pet as he devoured a nerf steak that Sahesri had ordered for it.

"He needs a name" Vette said as she took a sip of her drink.

"He is kind of cute for a little monster." Sahesri smiled watching the creature chew on a bone.

"The Sith have a language right?" Vette asked to which the Dathomiran nodded.

"What's the word for monster in the Sith language?"

"Siq'sa"

Vette considered that for a moment "What about Siqueya? Eya comes from a twi'lek word that means young or little. Siqueya, little monster."

"Siqueya!" Sahesri yelled.

The little horranth leapt off the floor and jumped onto the seat next to Sahesri. He grinned and began to pat his head.

"Siqueya it is then."
