Alright, I waited 2 days, I'll just go. I am assuming the conversation only took a minute or two so I wouldn't look out of place entering when I did.
After speaking with Nuuhatyc, Dorian enters the dining area and sits with the rest of them. He is rather quiet during his meal, watching in amusement as Elanor slowly goes insane over the fork issue.
I trained you to well dear. He shakes his head and looks to Darga. After the others answer he replies in Huttese.
"Elanor and myself have been together the longest in my group. She was with me before I could afford the protection I now carry. The others I hire based on skills they demonstrate and needs related to my travels. Nuuhatyc was the most recent addition. He is, eager, and still trying to hard to please, so do forgive any oddities he demonstrates."
He looks around the room, satisfied everybody else is eating before continuing in Huttese.
"I have personally handled many weapons transactions. The majority of my early work involved Elanor's mercenary unit. This helped me gain several connections to higher yield weaponry and more limited back channels to military surplus that help me acquire much to this day. After the wars end, business began to dry up, so my families more legitimate droid works business is a little more profitable. Still, as long as there are two people in this universe, one will need a gun. So here I am, looking at one of those individuals right now."
Dorian smiles and continues his meal. Forgetting himself a little and slipping into basic.
"Oh yes, a war story. Lets see, a good one...a good one...Oh yes, Elanor's 'training' mission. You see, when we first met Elanor was sent to me by her commander, hearing word that I was the man to talk to about big guns. His idea of a good test to see what I had was to send me on one of Elanor's demolition team runs. I got to provide the explosives, rifles, ammo, you name it."
He slaps his hand on the table a few times, laughing.
"Oh I pissed her off so much that day. You see, at that point I was only in the business selling weapons, not using them. So I made a few...grievous errors when confronted with combat. I dropped the frags at one point, forgot to pull a pin before throwing a detonator, and even left my safety on when we got in a firefight. Oh I was so stupid, pulling the trigger of a gun thinking it was firing and it was not. At that point I decided an expert was needed so I did not make a fool of myself again, so now she follows me and does weapon demonstrations in my stead." He thinks back to the man he shot earlier and sighs before continuing. "However, I have gotten much better at showing off my wares on my own. Call it a job hazard if you will but there are times when knowing how to use the weapons you sell comes in handy." He looks at the hutt and gives a little smile. "Times such as this, when I need to demonstrate on a larger scale for a potential client." He raises a glass to the hutt. "To business, may it always be lucrative, even in these troubled times."
