[i]"Act casual?"[/i]  Anora said as she pushed the pilot off of her lap; causing her to crash down to the floor below.  [i]"It's too late for that, love."[/i]  She scolded as her right hand reached up, grasping around the edges of her Eclipses.  

Anora knew all too well the dangers of their precarious situation.  Terith was an intergalactic crime lord she had been associated with before her joining up with the SIRIUS.  He always had a job for her, mostly smuggling contraband onto a council world, and it always paid well.  Yet she had never really joined his crime network, preferring to work on her own versus for someone else.  That did not stop the man from trying his best to make his position of authority known.  Often he would try and handicap her progress, be it with a well timed tip to the authorities or a group of bandits sent to stop her in her tracks.  But thanks to her Eclipses, and their ability to find the funds used in these distractions, she was never once slowed.  She had come to meet him today for payment for a job she had recently completed.  Anora knew he had lost a sizable fortune in the process of this particular job, a few ships and all their men, and she was already on edge without the distraction of Viva.2

[i]"No, no, my dear."[/i]  Terith spoke up as his right hand moved across his chest, parting his coat in the process, which revealed a pistol in the process.  [i]"Your [b]Moon Shades[/b] stay on top of your head until we are finished."[/i]  Pausing as he pointed with his right hands index finger.  [i]"Besides, i like looking at your beautiful eyes[/i]"  His joke fell on deaf ears.  His right hand moved once more across his chest, closing his coat once more. His eyes darted towards the girl on the floor before he returned his gaze to Anora.  "[i]You lost me some credits on the last mission i gave you, you here to repay me?[/i]"  He said as he crossed his arms.

[i]"You know that job was botched from the start, mate."[/i]  She paused as she lowered her hand from her glasses back down to her side, before placing them on her hip.  "[i]I'm here with my-.[/i]"  Pausing as she let out an audible sigh "[b][i]friend.[/i][/b]"  Pausing once more, tilting her head just enough for her eyes to rest on Viva for just a brief second.  "[i]I completed the job none the less, I'm here for the money you owe me.[/i]"  Her eyes darted back to the crime lord in front of her.  "[i]I completed the job all the same and our-[/i]"

[i]"Our [b]agreement[/b] is null and void.[/i]"    Terith roared as life in the bar continued on as if he was whispering.  "[i]You better come up with some credits and fast, else i find another way for you and your[/i]"  Pausing as he looked at Viva "[i][b]friend[/b] to repay what you cost me.[/i]"  He finished as a sinister smile crept over his face.

"[i]Not so fast, my friend.[/i]"  Ardur spoke as he placed the barrel of his gun to the ear of Terith.
