She didn’t avert her gaze like she had so many times in the past. “So you don’t care anymore what your people think because you don’t intend to see them again anytime soon, at least not for more than a brief visit. Family’s always trouble…” Braxton nodded. He knew from experience. “Well at least you finally found the balls …or whatever… to do something about it. Hell, maybe you even<em>are</em>cut out for life out here, not that I like the consequences much. And you know that I can’t pay you like they would in the core. Regular spacer pay, that’s all I have to offer, and let me tell you: it ain’t much. And if things go sour with the law, well, then you ain’t the indentured who has to tag along anymore; you hang – or whatever – with the rest of us. But if this is what you want, well, I guess I can’t stop you and I’d prefer to keep you on board, even as a freewoman.” Braxton looked at Mya again. There was a certain sense of…<em>loss</em>involved here.<br/><br/>“I still own you until you can cough up the money. And there is no proper bank around these parts.” Braxton cautioned Mya “But I guess making the most out of the time I have left would be a bad start for our new relationship. So…” He pointed vaguely at the ship, the Verse in general and at Sophie in particular “…enjoy your freedom!”<br/><br/>Braxton got up slowly, carefully shifting weight to his wounded leg until he was sure that he had full use of the limb again. Yes, making a personal sacrifice to keep the doctor on board had been the right choice. It would be hard to find someone like her.<br/><br/>The infirmary doors hissed and parted for the captain. He leaned on the doorframe and looked at the now free woman, his ‘core princess’.<br/><br/>“And if you ever change your mind and want to revisit our former deal – for a year or just a night – you know where you can find me.”<br/>
