F-434-Lia: Mundo Zargo Downport, Noms! Café
“Well, I know that you did some work for Mer Z that we aren’t going to talk about even though one of the reasons I chose this place is because it’s private.
“I know that your presence seems to have an effect on his willingness to provide work for your ship.
“I know R is displaying considerable anxiety about you being involved with Z, hence our expert friends from off-world.
“And, given what I do, I know something of Mer Z and what his interests are.”
Lia acknowledges the lack of discussion about her work for Zayaire and makes a face over the comment regarding her presence and his willingness.
“It would be far easier if my presence had no effect, in which case we would not be here again but since that’s partly my fault, I need to take my lumps.-
She doesn’t look like she is enjoying said lumps.
