Laguz Vald
Adapt or perish
Xe liked people who didn't waste time. It brought the fabled "pick two" to mind, where the options were cheap, fast, and good.
Many in her business foolishly went down the fast and cheap road, but Laguz knew better. What was a thousand credits more if it meant you could live another day? It was a stupid way of thinking, really, to pick lower cost over quality, but in the end, the shapeshifter didn't really care beyond the occasional scathing remark or underhanded dig. Less competition for contracts; what more could a mercenary wish for?
In any case, the comission was done, and the sniper would hate to leave the good inventor waiting. With a hefty credit chit carefully concealed not only beneath her casual clothing, but beneath her very skin, the shapeshifter pushed those blast doors open again and beelined straight for the counter, lest the enticing weapons put on display charm a few more credits out of her pocket.
Not that she couldn't afford it — a century or so of prolific illicit activity had yielded her an enviable sum spread across various banks throughout the Galaxy — but she had a policy of going in light no matter the mission.
But dear kark, did they ever look gorgeous.
She tore her gaze from one of the smaller exhibits and faced the grim features of the man with no name. Hopefully, she'd never have to learn it. The less you knew to spill, the better.
"Stress-tested and all?" she addressed him as her gaze left his impassive expression to look over the final product laid out on the counter. Judging by the craftsmanship and looks alone, she was in for a treat, but one could never be too trusting when it came to these things. Her green eyes narrowed somewhat as the decidedly fake redhead leaned forward to inspect the armorweave plates up close.
"What kind did you use for these?" Laguz asked without looking up as she ran her fingers along the material, comparing it mentally to the one safely tucked away in one of her caches. It certainly was no Asheran armorweave, that was for sure.
