Reisa followed Tara's example and pulled down her hood. "Oh, I've got a cargo of dactyl for a Arconan colony on one of Corellia's moons. I've just come from Cona, the Arconan homeworld. I've been having engine trouble for a while, but I didn't expect it to come to a head this soon."

*Tara laughed.* "Was any of that in Basic? What's dactyl?" *She switched on the heater in the middle of the room. While she couldn't let the temperatures get above freezing in the tunnels, since many parts were built from or surrounded by ice, she could at least get them out of the subzero levels.*

Reisa moved closer to the heater. "Dactyl's a fungus that is neccessary part of the Arconan diet. Without it, they die. It smells terrible though. I'm probably going to have to fumigate once I drop it off."

"Well doesn't that sound like fun..." *Tara grinned slightly.* "Well, it can't smell worse than a tauntaun." *She shook her head, taking a seat on the cold floor by the heater. She removed her thick gloves, holding her bare hands close to the heat.*
"So, Cona was it? Where is this planet located?" *As someone cut off from the rest of the galaxy, Tara was eager for information as always. She often spent many nights keeping smugglers up telling tales of the worlds beyond Hoth.*

"Do you want exact coordinates, or would a description suffice?" She laughed. "Cona is a desert planet, with no water anywhere. Well, not on the surface anyway. There's water underground, but you have to dig to get it. There's lots of mining that goes on there, because of a the rocks and minerals they've got. I don't really know any more. Oh, and the Arconans, the Arconanas have rectangular shaped heads with green eyes. Well, the normal ones do anyways, some of the Arconans are addicted to salt. And after that, their eyes turn gold instead of green. They also live in big families called nests, and they almost always refer to themselves as "us" or "we"."

*Tara raised an eyebrow at this description.* "They sound interesting, to say the least. I've seen some interesting species among the smugglers, but I can't say I've met anything close to these Arconans of yours."

Reisa grinned. "They're pretty funny alright." She looked around. "So where do I kip for the night?"

"Since I doubt that you're used to a Hoth night, you'd probably be best sleeping in here. The heater in here is the strongest. I'll grab a mat and plenty of blankets for you from down the hall. And make sure your droid stays close to the heater. You don't want him freezing up."

"R6, you heard the lady, get over here." As her droid complied, she had another question, "Tara, when can we get going in the morining?"

*Tara shrugged.* "I can stand the temperatures about an hour after sunrise, but I don't know if it will be too cold for you or not."

*Tara smirked slightly, but she didn't argue.* "All right then. As soon as the temperature starts to rise a little in the morning, we'll head out. Prepare yourself for a very long ride on a tauntaun."

Reisa groaned to herself. Not again. It is the best way to travel on this planet, though. Out loud she said, "Ok."

*Tara got up, laughing a little.* "You're better off not knowing what it is. As you can imagine, food on this planet isn't exactly what most people are used to... Trust me though, it tastes pretty good, and you won't starve to death."

"Ok, where's the anonymous grub?" She tried not to think of what it might possibly be.

"I'll be back in a moment..." *With that, Tara left the den, heading down one of the tunnels. After fetching one of the many packages she stored in her natural freezer in another small cave, she returned, setting it down near the heater. She took a seat and began unwrapping it.* "It might take a little while to thaw out and cook..." *She reached over and turned up the heater.* "Not a vegetarian, are you?"

"No, that kind of eating style never really made sense to me." Reisa took a seaat opposite Tara. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Unless you know a way to heat this faster, then no, not really..." *Tara gave her a smile.* "Welcome to Hoth, where we have to wait an eternity for anything to cook."
