Brotherhood Bar-Talks

[Razr]

Ivan walked into the bar, not sure whether or not he'd be search again he left all of his weapons in his ship. He hadn't bothered to try the key to his old room on Crete, as the lock had most likely been changed. It was annoying to Ivan how the Corsairs stared as he entered the room, usually he was greeted with kind faces, screaming, and cheering, not today.


Ivan saw Teresa sitting in the northern corner of the bar totally alone, exactly what he wanted. she appeared to have a lot of things on her mind, but quickly acknowledged him when he was within view. Ivan sat opposite of her, they stared one another down for a few seconds. Ivan wondered if she was trying to read him as he tried to read her, he didn't see any hint of dislike, but there was uncertainty in her eyes. He remembered seeing her once at a party, he hadn't really gotten a good look at her now and she looked to be about his age.


"Ivan, are you just going to sit there admiring the view all day or did you have something important to say?"


Teresa's comment brought Ivan back to his senses. He was still thinking of the right words to use, it was quite hard to have a woman smiling at you from across the table when you had something important to say.


"Well Teresa, I'm sure your aware of the situation between the Coalition and Corsairs. The relationship is deteriorating, the reason I've asked you to decide whether or not I continue to protect Corsairs is simple. Not only are you a fresh recruit, but I'm more interest in protecting you than most Corsairs.


Don't take this the wrong way, your the last remaining piece of Pedro's legacy which is as dear to me as any Corsair. Know this if you do not wish that I stay then I won't. If you wish for me never to return then say so. As I stated on comms the choice is yours, Teresa Chavez."
