Old Wounds

[Tyran Numeck]

"What excuses?" He grinned as he strapped himself into the pilots seat and began to prepare to pull the ship out of lightspeed. "Can't you hear the nav computer beeping? We'll continue the discussion about favors when we're done here."

 

[Anora Vahn]

"Mhm, suuuuure...." she called back to him. And yet something told her that they would be picking the conversation up again, and admittedly? She was kind of looking forward to it.

Odd.

 

[Tyran Numeck]

He smirked as he pulled them back into real space. Anora wasn't so bad...after you got about half a jar of booze into her. This person she was behaving like now was probably there under all that sulkiness he just had to encourage it to come out more naturally. He made contact with the spaceport controller as usual and found them a berth to land in. "Alright, let's hope they're in the capitol, I don't feel like scouring an entire planet for two people."

 

[Anora Vahn]

Once she was back into her armor, Anora made her way back to the cockpit. She still hadn't picked a helmet yet, but she was watching out the view glass, frowning at the sight of the station. "Strange how some things just don't ever change." she stated, though whether to him or herself was questionable.

She then made a noise and turned away. "Depending on what day it is, they may be in the capitol." she shrugged a shoulder. "Otherwise I suppose you'll get to see some country."

 

[Tyran Numeck]

"I'm very fine with country." He said as he guided his ship down into the spaceport. "Mandalore is mostly country but we have our big cities too." There was a sense of things starting to wind down now that they were on Denon, even though things would actually start picking up until he'd bagged his prey.

"Alright I'm following your lead now. Redy to get this over with?"

 

[Anora Vahn]

Was she ready to get this over with? "You have no idea." she answered him with a sigh, and then went to grab a helmet. At this point she didn't care, so long as it didn't bounce around on her head too much. She waited for him to get ready, and then she made her way to the ramp.

Once it was lowered, she made her way down it and waited for him. "We should start in the market." she told him. "If they're here, then that's where they would be."

 

[Tyran Numeck]

The hunt itself was a little underwhelming for Tyran. It seemed whatever edge Anora's parents had once had was now long gone, softened by their civilian lives. They put up next to no fight as Tyran and Anora had them both tazed and unconscious in no time. The worst part of it was the pleading they did when they finally came around, locked in the same cell that Tyran had locked Anora in when he'd first captured her. Her parents couldn't believe it had been her that had done this to them but they didn't try to deny what they'd done previously.

They begged and pleaded with her for their lives and Tyran stayed out of it. That wasn't any of his business, unless Anora decided to try and get clever. So he separated the three of them and stuck Anora in the cockpit with him where she wouldn't be able to hear their cries anymore. "You're absolutely sure you want to be there for this?" He asked her a couple of times. There was no doubt what was going to happen to them once they were delivered to Gruda the Hutt. But when they finally returned to Nal Hutta dragging the bounties kicking and screaming Tyran made the call to put Anora outside the cantina where the Hutt did his business. She didn't need to see what was about to happen.

When it was done Tyran approached her and handed her a credit chip. "You're cut of the bounty, five-thousand creds are programmed on that. I got the other ten." He said. "Once you get a little more seasoning under your belt we'll talk about splitting the profits, but that's later. Right now I need to head to Myrkr and return that lizard."

 

[Anora Vahn]

It hadn't been nearly as hard to take Anora's parents prisoner as the girl had expected it to be. Emotionally, not physically, though that hadn't been nearly as challenging as Anora would have expected either. She had helped to stun them, and move them back to the ship, and it wasn't until the pair of them had come to that the brunette had bothered to let them see who she was - and by then of course it was too late for them to plead with her for their lives. They had already admitted to their crimes - and therefore their endless stream of lies - before the had known who she was.

Though Anora never would forget the looks on their faces when they looked up and saw her standing on the other side of the bars.

And surprisingly - to her at least - she felt no pity for them. Her own parents, and she had no sudden change of heart to pry the bars open and set them free. Sure, there was a part of her that was upset by what she knew was coming for them, but that part was drown out by everything else they had ever done. Over and over they pleaded, trying to explain that it was to protect her and her sister, but their pleas fell on deaf ears.

Even still, she had gone willingly when Tyran moved her away from the cell and took her to the cockpit. "Why wouldn't I be sure?" it had been her only answer to him when he questioned her resolve, and for the rest of the trip she had mostly sat in silence. It wasn't because she was upset about her parents being taken to their demise, it was because a piece of her had quite literally died when the pair of them had admitted to their crimes.

By the time they arrived on Nal Hutta, Anora was ready to just get the job over with and wash her hands of it. She didn't fuss when she was made to wait outside the cantina, and she didn't even look at her screaming parents as they begged for mercy and for her to look at them, or any of the other things they had begged for as they were drug away. And when Tyran returned, she still looked indifferent.

At least until he put a credit chip in her hand. But even that didn't get as much of a reaction as the news about the lizard did. Both of Anora's brows lofted and she looked genuinely surprised. "Yeah? You sure you wanna do that?" she asked him, the surprise steadily melting into a smirk of amusement.
