    Oliver nods and does not return her gaze. “No surprising. What drove you to the line of work?”

    She leans against the console.

    “Money. I wanted it. Didn’t have enough. I’m good at convincing people to trust me with their things; moving those things was a logical step to more money.”

    There is no expression as she speaks.

    “Understandable, knowing your strengths and utilizing them.”
    He looks up to her now. “Was that line of work what brought you here?”

    “Yes. I hired cargo space and bought passage in order to be able to shift cargo.”

    She tilts her head slightly to the right.

    “What about you? How did you…?”

    Her sentence trails off.

    “I studied, either planned to join the Legion or the Vizierate. Decided to do neither, but one day the Vizierate pulled me in and made an offer I couldn’t refuse.”

    “Yeah, it did. Now it feels more personal. A lot of my life is reflected in his, I want to know what drove him to do what he did.”

    A tiny frown creases her forehead.

    “Your life is reflected in his? Are you concerned you’ll make the same choices?”

    “No, I already did. Just wondering where it got him.”

    She blinks.

    “Didn’t you say he was a murderer?”

    Oliver breaks eye contact and stares back at the screen. “Exactly.”

    “Hopefully not.”

    Her voice is quiet but there doesn’t seem to be judgement in it.

    “Anything you want to talk about regarding that?”

  23. Oliver Starr says:
    2020-11-01 at 22:04

    “Nope.”
    He’s visibly uncomfortable but trying to keep a straight face.

  24. Lia Silver-Rose says:
    2020-11-01 at 22:25

    “Understood.”

    There’s a slight pause.

    “I have a few things I need to do now. We still on for lunch?”

  25. Oliver Starr says:
    2020-11-01 at 22:33

    He relaxes.
    “Yeah. Lunch sounds good.”

  26. Lia Silver-Rose says:

    She nods.

    “Lunch it is.”

    GM, what’s the time currently?
