Riveting tale, Chap

[Yaoquizque]

The girl was waving to the leaving gunboat from the cockpit of the Albedo.
Standing in the entry of the control room, Logan was looking at her, still somewhat surprised and even... shocked.

She finally turned around, smiling.
"That was Brayie... He's so cute!" She said to him, giggling.
"Errhhh..."
She was still talking, rolling her eyes while grinning "... And he's so funny!"

He opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something.
But he closed it back in a blink. He then remained silent during a few and finally said.
"You know a lot of criminals?"
"Yeeeees?" She replied, smiling to him.
"I love to dance annnnnd... I danced in many places. Met a lot of friends!"

He glanced at her and shook his head.
"Bloody hell, girl. Are you stupid?"
"Nooooo?"
"Dancing like that and undressing into the bargain? Did you only think about what those men could have done to you? And do you even think that is correct to behave like that? Jeez...Someone should teach you good manners i tell you."

She was looking into his eyes, appearing to be rather sad.
"Awww... You didn't like it?"
Which caused him to look away, coughing.
"Errrh... That's not the point."
"You liked it then!" She said, beaming.

The girl then skipped, looking quite excited.
"Where are we going anyway?!"
He sighed, leaning his shoulder against the side of the door.

All That was exhausting him.
He finally replied "New Tokyo..."

+++++

The Albedo was entering in the Atmosphere...
The girl literally had her nose pressed against a window of the cockpit, her mouth making a 'O' in fascination.
"It's so beautiful!"
Logan mumbled something, busy following the instructions of the main spaceport's traffic control.

The ship finally landed on their assigned pad. Logan took his PDA and headed to the airlock, the girl on his heels.
She was endlessly and quite annoyingly asking "Where are we going where are we going where are we..."

He finally let out a growl and turned around, holding her by her wrist to make her focus.
"You. Nowhere."
"Awwww... But i want to try the food there!"
"Food is..."
"And i want to buy some clothes!"
"Erhhhh.."
"And i want to dance!"
"..."

He shook his head and finally said.
"Not on my watch. You're too young for this."
"Lies! I dance very well!"
"Errh..." He mumbled once again, reminding her last 'show', on his ship. Annoyingly, he couldn't quite deny that claim.
"Listen... you will be a good girl. I have friends here... I will ask one to lend you a ship to allow you to go wherever you want to go. Also i have what those rogues left in my hold to sale. So yes. Be a good girl and stay here."
That said, he ignored her yells, stepped out, and closed the airlock, using his personal key.

He then headed to the spaceport wholesalers.
