Riveting tale, Chap

[Yaoquizque]

Alexis glared at the man.
"I'd be very choosey about what you say buddy.
I'm not captain of a Liberty Siege Cruiser for nothing now.", she added, frowning.

The man chuckled unkindly.
"You weren't the one who had to bear that brat in your bloody ship during two weeks.

She took my bed and sleeps naked in it, damnit!"

Alexis couldn't repress a giggle when she heard that.
"Sounds like Connie."

The girl was giggling, attempting to tickle the man.
"I proposed you to share the bed if you wanted."
"I will pass." He replied, taking some distance from her.

Alexis, amused, observed the ploy for a while. She then finally asked, focusing at the man
"How much does she need?"

He finally gained enough distance and made a bored face.
"They dare asking an awful lot... Something like fourteen millions... If you add what that brat owes me... That would make fifteen."
"Fourteen millions?! For a malfunctioning bomber?"

She glanced at the girl who seemed to be busy playing with some controls right now.
"So, Connie, you sure you want that ship?
She nodded, smiling.
"Yay! I love Fune. She's funny! She's calling me baka!"

Alex facepalm'd.
The man was staring at her somewhat unkindly.
"Told you that's stupid."
"Connie, you should learn some Kusari from Kei or Reiko if they're around when you visit."
"I shooould? Buuut it sounds so complicated!"
"Not really sweetie."

She then thought quickly and added :
"Anyways. I'll give you six millions for this 'malfunctioning' craft."
The girl beamed.
"Six? Awww that's so nice, Alex! Buuut... What i can do in return?"
"Eh.."
