Meena rolled her eyes at their constant bickering, realizing finally why she had settled for the peace and quiet in the first place. A crew just seemed like too much hassle and too many people to keep an eye on at the same time. She couldn't hire just anyone and choosing the perfect crew members was something she had never learned or been trained for. These things simply happened, as people with common goals were thrown together and in the end they spent years on the same ship, loyal to each other. But people couldn't be trusted, generally. And she wasn't one to make true friends easily. "I got him for half price when I was stranded on Abregado-rae years ago." Meena said. "He was a bit stubborn first because his programming has been tinkered with by a hacker. When I went to prison, Vul was confiscated. But you must have already known that." She gave him a sharp look.<br/><br/>This poor man! He must have never travelled like Meena, from one culture to another and tasted the most obscure things that looked more like living insects than delicious food. "You people from the Core are so ignorant." She sighed and shook her head. Almania, her home planet, was in the far regions of the Galaxy, at the border of Unknown Regions. Everything outside the Core was so different that she couldn't help but to wonder how Drak would manage in Hutt Space. "Fine, a good old, safe and boring Corellian stew." Meena finished cutting some very basic vegetables, dreading the fact that she'd have to eat something so normal. Drak had no sense of adventure!<br/><br/>She kicked his leg when he started peeking into her cupboards. "Stay away from my food! Is it really that hard for you to sit still and shut your mouth?" Meena gripped the knife she was holding. "And take your shoes off the- UGH! How can a man be such a child! What DO you eat? Processed food from Coruscant's factories? Oh, you are such a bore. Again, no wonder there's no woman in the picture." She could feel all her anger begin to unleash itself on Drak once morea and she did whatever she could to contain it as she continued preparing the stew. "Tell me, is it really true? Have you never had a woman? Surely you've had one of those very drunken nights with some big-chested Twi'lek woman." Meena smirked mischievously. "Every man does that, especially those who can't get married, like you. After catching me, you should have at least used your promotion or whatever glory you received to charm someone foolish enough to think you're not a bore."<br/><br/>Ah, how she was enjoying this, just pushing his buttons until she could get an appropriate reaction out of him. Meena still hadn't forgotten how he had pushed her earlier with far too many words about Kessel. She also hadn't forgotten that night when she had been arrested by him and how she had then gone off to spend her next seven years in Kessel. One just didn't forget that and Meena would make sure he would suffer every day with her just as she had suffered in prison. "Ah, what am I saying? Of course that didn't happen to you. Any woman can tell right away you are as insensitive as a piece of rock and far too naive for your own good. How I pity you..!" She grinned and glanced at him. "Or actually, I don't. You deserve it. Just look at your brother who's breaking the law. Doesn't seem like he's living a bad life with a gorgeous wife like Cyn and a baby coming up!"
