"So we have an understanding.  You may hire me, but this is my ship.  If I feel that your slave's situation is too dangerous, I will not ask my crew to give their lives for her."  There was no compromise on this matter.  "I've put together the best crew I could ask for and one of them is worth enough to me to bankrupt even you."  Gold eyes glinted in the room's lighting, "Your<em>bedwarmer</em>isn't worth that much.  That being said, if you want your slave back, you'll need to leave my ship so we can be underway.  They should be done restocking by now."
