Chee looked at Gruk after he threatened [member="Rika Anor"]. Having been a slave and seen his people mistreated for over a decade, Chee didn't take kindly to anyone threatening any of his species, especially the females. There was a soft spot for them as Chee had worked hard to keep his own sister out of the Hutt pleasure houses. This meant Chee naturally had a soft spot for Rika. It was odd how they both found each other on [member="Serg Leone"]'s crew with similar stories, but such was life sometimes, odd. A hand quickly drew reached for his blaster as Chee was tempted to shove the business end right in the creatires reproductive region and make a very not empty threat, but he didn't.
"C'mon [member="Gruk"], she's not food, and if you try eating her, you'll find a thermal detonator in your stomach first. You really do need to learn to develop that sense of humor of yours. I'm pretty sure if Rika wanted him dead it would have been done already."
That was certainly the truth. Rika had the opportunity, and wasn't going to be one to flinch in the face of killing someone. Chee had to read people, it was part of his job, and Rika was as deadly as she was beautiful. He looked her way as she downed another drink, someone else's again no doubt. He slipped into their native tongue for a moment.
"He really does need to learn when to lighten up, and I'll take care of the next one."
The group was shaping up to be pretty colorful. Most of the attention was on Serg of course, and the Zeltron in his lap. Damn, the captain sure knew how to go through the women. Though it seemed the Zeltron, [member="Sunny"], as she introduced herself, wanted to be exactly where she was. He caught something about her being into holograms and such. That could come in handy. Otherwise there was getting to be a lot of hired muscle. Whatever Serg was planning, it was big. Grabbing another ale, Chee tossed it back. Between he and Rika, the two could clear the table and still walk off in a straight line. One of these days they'd have to just for laughs as the rest of the crew would be so drunk hilarity would ensue. It was time ask the question though, the one everyone wanted to know.
"So Captain, what's the job this time, and what's the pay out?"
