A-551: Merchant Freighter Spanial (Docked), Karmen’s Cabin
Karmen has her inscrutable face on as Lia speaks.
It looks as if she goes to say something at one point but she allows Lia to finish and then addresses her last comment.
“That meeting was cock-eyed, I thought we were going to get cooked too, but then he was all ‘let’s be best buddies’. You think that was because of you?”
“It certainly felt that way. His whole demeanor changed once he spotted me and placed who I was. Even his people hesitated when he asked for refreshments to be handed around, I don’t think they were expecting it to be that kind of meeting.-
She sighs again.
“Best case scenario, he just wants to fuck me and playing nice is the easiest way to do that. Worst case scenario…he knows a lot more about me than I think he does… which could make things awkward.”
