Jax grinned at her like a student who got something correct on the first try. "Indeed you did!"  He grinned at her in a roguish sort of way. "You're like those bomber pilots we got a ways back. Hotshots all of them. I think it runs in the blood. We live for the thrill and adrenaline. This thing is my pride and joy. Nothing like riding the thermals when you're alone... or for that matter when you've got passengers who don't mind a good thrill now and again. Did you do passenger runs with your own craft?"<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=75867.msg3574482#msg3574482">Quote from: playfullchick76 on September 02, 2010, 08:55:33 am</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"> "No,  I liked hauling freight from island to island, or tourists. Doing those jobs gave me the hours in the air to pay for my plane and gave me the freedom to be my own boss. As to my crashlanding here, I would be happy to tell it to you later on, once I've had a shower and a meal", she added to him, deciding that she liked him already and smiling at him.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"Ah some of the most important jobs of all and some of the least highly looked upon. I can understand that. Pester Richard here about some of his close calls. He's got his own addiction to thrills. Then after you've had some time to rest and get aquainted you're more then welcome to head for my home. Richard knows where it is. Mara, myself and all the younglings will enjoy having someone else to cook for. However, if you're ready hop aboard through there and we'll get underway. Just make sure to strap yourselves in good and tight." Jax said pointing at a collection of boards and straps and giving Richard a meaningful look. Richard in the meantime had the good graces to look abashed and did as he was told.
