He was ready to go. He had essentially wasted two days in the wilderness.
Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Oromë the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young. - The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

Once they were finished packing, Tarkin set out, keeping Sirejj and the prisoner in front of him.

Sirejj walked leisurely but was ready to get his cash and be off.

They reached the ship. A pair of fairly high-level officers were waiting there, and between them was Anakin Skywalker.

(He's in something similar to the Vader suit but less painful and with built-in bacta pads
And not Sith-black, just plain metal)

Sirejj felt a little uncomfortable when he set eyes on Skywalker. It didn't take a master of the force to tell that this man was powerful enough to snap his neck if he wanted. He would need to tread a bit lightly around him.

Tarkin raised an eyebrow. This was a fairly low-priority prisoner. Still important, but not important enough for Anakin to be here. Nonetheless he strode forward to greet him.

Sirejj began wondering something similar and it made him suspicious. He squared his shoulders and didn't avoid the glance of any of the people exiting the ship.

"The credits," Anakin said as Tarkin approached. "I'm to transfer them to this pest."
"Naturally." It made sense that Palpatine wouldn't trust anyone but his right hand man to do something like that."

Sirejj stood where he was beside the prisoner and Sev, who was behind him.

Anakin turned to Sirejj. "So. You are the one who wishes to ransom our quarry? What is your name?"

"Sirejj. And I would have taken him elsewhere but upon the offer of turning him over to those who may cause the Empire trouble, I changed my mind." He seemed to gently emphasize the last part. He didn't want to appear to be on too much of an opposite side.

"And where would you have taken him?"

"I'm a bounty hunter. This fellow had cheated some former friends of his out of some spice or something along those lines."

"That can be taken care of." He held out his hand. "Turn over the prisoner and you will be compensated as promised."

Sirejj was tempted to speak but instead shoved the prisoner forward. "Here he is."

You're wrong about humanity. They are your greatest creation because they're better than you are. Sure, they're weak, and they cheat and steal and destroy and disappoint, but they also give and create, and they sing and dance and love. Above all, they never give up.
