"<i>Nice landing, care to celebrate?" </i><br/><br/>Nykei laughed, almost derisively, before stopping herself. Jiljoo had intended it as a compliment, but it was hard to take credit for something so simple and basic. Besides, the compliment was accompanying an offer of drinks. Nykei tried not to think about what else that offer might entail. "Sure. Not that I need a reason to drink."<br/><br/>Jiljoo poured a couple drinks and handed her one.<i>"I suppose it isn't nearly as exciting as swoop bike racing."</i><br/><br/>"There is a reason I don't race anymore," Nykei muttered, unconsciously flexing mechanical fingers. Then she drank down the glass, letting the burn of alcohol cleanse her bitterness.<br/><br/><i> "Would you..." she paused, clearly nervous, "...mind coming to my room? I have something I need to tell you."</i><br/><br/>This warranted a raised eyebrow. What was on the twi'lek's mind? Nykei doubted it was mere flirtation, as she teased the men on abroad with a practiced ease. Whatever it was, it might have been best to deal with it now, before they were stuck together in space for a prolonged period. "Sure, lead the way."<br/><br/><hr class="bbc-hr bbc-hr--3"/><br/><br/>Over the spray of the shower, Alythra heard the bathroom door open. A shape distorted by the frosted glass of the fresher stepped through and the Zeltron smirked. "Good morning, Mr. Halfri. I hope you don't mind I use your fresher. Though, I see no reason why you can't join me, if you so desire," She suggested, though she doubted it was necessary. He knew full well knew the fresher could easily fit three. Back arched to rinse the shampoo from her hair, she tempted him with a silhouette that exaggerated her curves.<br/><br/>Anticipating his offer, Alythra preempted him, "I am afraid I cannot extend our contract past this hour. I have another appointment to make this afternoon."
