The slight amount of kindness and condolences he was trying to show her when she said she had lost her colony and her people just faded from his mind at her words.  His face went blank listening to her words.<span style="color: seagreen">“No, I didn’t forget.  And I said it out loud, not thinking it.  Though I wasn’t serious, it is just a wish on how I could deal with them.”</span>He said simply, the attempt at kindness never again entered his voice at all.  Especially with the threat in hers.  It looks like they couldn’t be on peaceful terms.  He knew that was his fault, but there is a reason you never leave a soldier who could think around politicians and royalty.  That was especially true when she actually opened her mouth enough to show those sharp little daggers that were her teeth.<br/><br/>Though at her explanation of why she was there did answer his question a bit.  He couldn’t help the small bark of a laugh at it.<span style="color: seagreen">“Not the best idea.  From the very few Bulor I have talked to over the last few years.  They see us as little more than food, or hosts, and don’t care for us much at all.  It would be impossible for relations between them and any alliance race to be anything more than Frigid.”</span>He didn’t doubt what she just told him was quite a plausible reason, but he was also getting the feeling that this queen wasn’t entirely truthful with him.  He had believed her before, but now he wasn’t sure he should now.  He wasn’t a psychic, so he couldn’t tell if she was really telling the truth.  She was a high ranked position, considered to be a Politician and, as she said, a diplomat.  They were completely incapable of telling the full truth.<span style="color: seagreen">“Maybe  the mission would really have been the same if you had been any other queen, but it doesn’t stop my gut from churning and thinking something just doesn't fit.  I just don’t know the right question to ask, or even if you know anything at all.”  </span><br/><br/>There was only a small spark of instinctual fear deep within Darion at the whole threatening demeanor of the queen.  But that spark never even reached the front of his mind at all, it was so far buried that it never even flashed over his eyes at her threats to rip him limb from limb with her mind.  Leave him comatose, or just leave him with no memory.  Even if she brought it to the surface, he knew it would only make him more dangerous.  He wasn’t the type to cower in a corner even when  gripped with pure terror.<span style="color: seagreen">“The pistol was mostly for protection.  I can’t stand not having a weapon within arm’s reach…”</span>he answered a moment before pausing as he reached for it, but was unable to pull it.  It was somehow smashed to the table.<br/><br/>Looking at the weapon a moment, he just sighed and looked back at the queen as with her words he had images of him being ripped to shreds thrown into his mind.  Didn’t stop him from listening to what was being said.<span style="color: seagreen">“Computer, is what she says true?  Would you follow any orders from her over mine?”</span>he asked a moment, but didn’t wait for a reply as she continued.<span style="color: seagreen">“Because if you kill me, I’ pretty sure you wouldn’t leave the ship alive.  The others would kill you in return.”</span>He said that in a matter of fact type bland tone.  If she thought he would be terrified of her or death, she was sorely mistaken.<br/><br/>But he countered the images she threw into his mind by immediately imagining her, naked, bound and gagged  to where she could barely move.  And ontop of that being fucked senseless by him and the Goz girls on the crew.  He may not play by or know her rules, or any political rules.<span style="color: seagreen">“I may not know your rules, but I play by my own…”</span>after he spoke up, he looked back at the drone neymi had left, it having seemed to make itself unthreatening.  Now he was wandering how smart it was.<span style="color: seagreen">“Drone, arm your weapons.  If it so much as seems she is causing me pain, or she does anything to you, shoot her.”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
