Not Yours

[Kay-Larr]

FINALLY, an hour or so after The Blackheart left Kwenn Station, Kay started to wake up. She wasn't at all where she thought she would be. She felt the vibrations of the moving vessel before she was able to open her eyes. What in the Force happened?

Slowly, Kay sat herself up and discovered that she still had her satchel. Thankfully. As she took it off her shoulder and placed it on her lap, she noticed the aching in her arms and legs. A few bruises were starting to form on her arms, but she felt as though she was hit by a landspeeder. She dug into her satchel and brought out her water bladder, taking small sips to help ease her dry mouth. Did Growl manage to get them to a ship and escape the Cartel? How nice of him to give her a room to herself.

After giving herself a few moments to recover, Kay slid off the bed and walked over to the door. It was locked. Odd. She furrowed her brows and then knocked on the door. "Growl? Hey! Someone open this door! I'm locked in!" As she was speaking a thought went through her mind. Did the Cartel have her? Surely she would've been dropped into a cage if they did...And this was a bedroom. At least it wasn't the mental institution....

Having stripped his armor and adorned himself in a pair of Krayt hide breaches and a black silk shirt, Kaster now stood in the galley of the Blackheart whistling a tune as added some seasonings to the pot on the stove. The comms channel to his quarters were being broadcasted ship wide and he could hear his prize as she began to awaken.

He'd just put the finishing touches to the pan seared bantha steaks as he words cast forth from the speaker causing the Zabrak to chuckle as he replied... "I'm afraid your friend growl is still aboard the Kwenn space station my dear......I'll be your host for the evening, My Name is Kaster Sane....and you are aboard my ship now "

 

[Kay-Larr]

Well that gave her a small chill down her spine. Kay looked around the bedroom for something to use for a weapon. At least with a bed, there was a pillow case that could be used.

"Aboard your ship? And where are we headed?" It was odd talking to nothing in particular. She just needed to be patient.

[Kaster Sane]

"Well to the White Palace of course. You're worth quite a bit of credits you know" With that he would quickly flip the bantha steaks over before calling for ScrapHeap to come in and plate their food for presentation as Kaster left to go fetch his prize.

Now standing just outside the door to his quarters he let slip a calming sigh before speaking.... "I've prepared a bit of dinner and I'd hoped you would join me.....I'm going to open this door, Please keep in mind that you are in fact worth almost as much dead as you are alive.....Please don't give me a reason to reduce my income "

 

[Kay-Larr]

The White Palace. The bounty hunter. Oh no. Not again. She stepped back away from the door. Dinner sounded like a good idea as she hadn't eaten in a while. Who knows when she was going to eat next. But still, she couldn't just allow herself to be taken this time.

Later. She'll free herself later, after dinner. [member="Kaster Sane"] sounded polite. Maybe he could be talked down. "Alright. I'm away from the door. You can open it." Kay chewed the inside of her cheek a bit as she waited.

The door to his quarters beeped and slid open with a soft hiss revealing the Blood red Zabrak waiting on the other side. His looks and mannerisms confused most that met him, His boyish handsomeness and mostly calm demeanor were not what one expected from a pirate and known cannibal. As he motioned down the hallway towards the galley his soft tone emitted once more.... "I've prepared us a lovely meal, Bantha steaks and Kaminoan sea chowder... After you my dear." with that said he gave her a respectful bow and waited for her to move.

 

[Kay-Larr]

She was of course shocked. [member="Kaster Sane"] didn't look like she expected. But then again, she was only used to hunters wearing their gear. But this was his ship afterall.

"....Thank you..." It wasn't as though she was being meek. Her mind was just spinning through the different alternatives. She grabbed her satchel and slung it over her shoulder before stepping out of the room and following her nose. "Bantha steaks and chowder sounds great.."

Slow almost lazy strides carried him after her, his eyes slipping down once or twice to admire how her torn dress hugged her bottom so lovely. As they reached the galley, Which ScrapHeap had gotten ready and had their plates waiting, Kaster would cut in front of the Lady Kady and gently pull her chair out for her with a nod of his head for her to sit. Kaster was many things, Most of them not good, But above all Kaster was a gentleman.....Mostly


He waited for Kay to sit before taking his own seat and placing his napkin across his lap. And after taking a sip of his Correllian Brandy he finally looked to Kay with a smile and spoke.... "Welcome aboard the BlackHeart my dear....As I said before I am Kaster Sane, And this mechanical menace is ScrapHeap." The droid nearly scoffed at the woman aboard HER ship before wandering off towards the cockpit, leaving the squishy meatbags alone.

 

[Kay-Larr]

Kay raised a brow as he pulled out the chair for her. This was all very strange and almost awkward. At least for her. [member="Kaster Sane"] no doubt had had this planned for a while. She placed her satchel onto her lap and her napkin over top of that. So there was a droid to contend with as well. Noted.

"Kaster Sane...Forgive me if I don't feel as welcomed as I should. But you can hardly blame me for the way I've been brought on board and for where you are taking me. As you can imagine, I want to get out of Hutt space and not go into the heart of it."

The bantha steak nearly melted in his mouth as he pulled it from between his chopsticks and devoured it with gusto, The napkin in his lap being brought up to wipe his mouth as he swallowed and finally spoke... "You have my sincerest apologies for shooting at you and for any damage I caused to such a delightful backside" Though an almost cocky smirk cross his lips his words were true and sincere as were the next that he spoke... "I've no doubt in my mind that you'd like to stay clear of Hutt space....As I said, You're worth quite alot my dear, So much so that I could afford my own small fleet just by turning you in" His mind drifted for a split second as he thought of how grand his fleet would be one day.

 

[Kay-Larr]

She lost her appetite with this discussion and his cocky attitude. But she made herself eat anyways. And it was really good.

"I don't quite have the salary to cover for it. But if you gave me some time, I could gather the funds. Although I doubt that my bounty has gone so high to buy fleets with."

The last she heard the highest was one million. She needed to get out of here.

He took another sip of his Brandy and leaned back into his chair with a sigh, His sights locked onto the woman across from him...... "Your not enjoying it here are you?" No no...I can tell, But is it not better than being back on that station getting shot at? His tone was soft yet still had a cold hint to it as he finished off his Brandy.

 

[Kay-Larr]

"Yes...it's better here than being shot at, thank you." She couldn't keep her eyes on him for he gave her a weird feeling. For some reason she figured that she was going to spend more time here than she would have wanted. Maybe she should play his game for a bit. "I just wish that we were going to a better destination. Particularly one that I won't end up getting killed or locked away in a tiny cell."

[member="Kaster Sane"]

 

[Kaster Sane]

[member="Lady Kay"]

He could feel her distrust and near disgust of him, Though he didn't understand why she felt this way...He meant her no harm. A chuckle caught in his voice as he voiced his inquiry.... "And where would you wish to go instead? It's been a long time since I've been on a vacation."

 

[Kay-Larr]

She tried some of the chowder now before answering. She had the perfect place in mind and one that she had been to quite often, so she knew it well. "Bakura. It's in neutral space and is just covered in rolling hills, forests, lakes and rivers. It's such a peaceful planet and very beautiful."

[member="Kaster Sane"]

 

[Kaster Sane]

[member="Lady Kay"]


He had to admit it did sound like a lovely place, But he hadn't made it this far by not being paranoid and it showed as he asked... "And whats to keep you from trying to run off? Or have me ambushed or killed? It sounds like a wonderful place and I'd be happy to go but there are alot of " What ifs" involved"

 

[Kay-Larr]

"I've never killed anyone in cold blood. And I certainly wouldn't start now." She cut a piece of the steak and then looked at the knife in her hand. "If you were worried about me trying to kill you, then you wouldn't have given me a knife in my cutlery."

Kay chewed on the piece of steak and didn't speak until she swallowed it. "I don't have the funds yet to pay off my bounty to you, but if you give me some time, then I could. You'd be happy, I'd be happy. It's a win-win."

"This is true, And I'm sure you could...but the Hutt is offering cash in delivery....And its a nice chunk of cash so you see my dilemma yes?" His smile returning as he took a bite of his steak, It had been some time since he'd spoken to another living being, His droid being his main company. "And besides....Why would you want to leave my ship so quickly? From what I understand it's not just the Hutts that are interested in you.....And the Republic is nothing to toy with my dear, It seems to me that right here is the safest place for you"

 

[Kay-Larr]

Dilemma. She was the one stuck in a dilemma. Not him. He wasn't the one being held captive right now.

As [member="Kaster Sane"] mentioned the Republic, Kay lowered her head a little. "...The Republic doesn't have a price on my head. But Bakura is in neutral space. Don't you want fresh air?" Each minute that she was on his ship, it brought her closer to Sempra and Thraxis. Neither of which she wanted to see for quite some time.

"I can feel the fear radiating off of you my dear, But there's nothing to worry about we are after all going to you neutral planet for some fresh air" he wasn't fond of the new idea but it did seem like a better way of getting what it was that he really wanted. "Just remember that I hate surprises and I do happen to have an itchy trigger finger"
