Up the creek

[Suria]

Suria also leaned back, folding her arms across one another as she did so. She had spent years searching for this character, and he turns up floating around in the spatial soup. And just like that he had offered her a partnership in freelancing. A part of her was in disbelief that he would move things along this quickly. Not even a meal together and he would have them launch from Atka and blow up enemies together. Really, though, was that so much to ask?

Her left hand had secretly begun running through her hair again. She sighed as she looked towards the rest of the people in the room. "I'm done being stiff about this. If you want to show up stuck in the middle of no where, fine. If you want to be freelance partners, fine. But just for your information, I've graduated from shooting asteroids and chasing you through maneuvers." She huffed, blowing a bang out of her face and giving him a stern yet somehow playful look.

"I haven't had any luck scooping up a job lately. Maybe having two pilots will be an advantage. And we were heading towards this, anyway." Slurps accompanied the words as she took coffee in between sentences. "This time, at least, if you get arrested I'll be there to break you out. Or blow you up. I'm much better at blowing things up." The more normal Suria emerged, able to actually crack a joke. She had many more... insulting and personal ones, but she would spare him the torture on their first get together.
