Tiaza gave a groan as she was placed on the ground, not one of pain, but of disappointment at being ejected from her safe place. At Sorr's feet she hugged tightly to the young man's legs. Part of her wondered if the lady knew her true feelings for Sorr, part said she was choosing the safety of Sorr over the danger of Lady X. None of her cared what anyone else thought at the moment. Things seemed to be progressing well for them. Soon she expected to be safe alongside Sorr.​

Lady X looked over the schematics as presented by the young man. She could tell there was no lie in his presentation. It was quite vague however and she did sense deception. Internally she shrugged that off. A test of her Marauders wouldn't be very telling if they had all the answers.

"This is very interesting." Lady X admitted with a smile. As she said previously, should her team fail she had all the information to hire out a more capable team, or sell to someone with more assets than her.

"So we have a deal?" Lady X questioned. "Both if you get freedom from myself and Rory. As well as a brand new ship. In return you return a review of said ship so I know what I am getting in mass production, a three job transport contract, and this information of the treasure vault?"​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

"So?" Sorr said taking a deep breath while Tiaza wrapped her arm around his legs. "We're free to go? I'll review the ship and I'll let you know the details," The young man smiled picking Tiaza back up and holding her close. "Tell me where the spaceport is," he said while he looked down at Tiaza.

"I'm not sure about this," he whispered. "I have a feeling that something is going to go wrong. What if she's already on to me?"

Tiaza gave a welcome purring sound as she was once again lifted off the ground into Sorr’s arms. She rubbed her cheek against Sorr’s should for comfort and added a smile when the young man again questioned their standing in the current situation.

The young Chiss spared a look to the Falleen crime boss and smiled at Sorr. “She’s getting what she wants,” she whispered in response. “If she still doesn’t let us go she never was going to. You are doing great.”​

Lady X smiled at the interactions between the two. She would never allow herself to have such a sweet connection to another being, but she had a bit of a soft spot for such feelings. The young man was pushy. She didn’t like that in employees. But she needed to have her ship tested, and she didn’t trust her marauders to do it. Even though Luche was a talented pilot, she had become too close to the others in the crew and was decidedly less dependable for simple missions.

“You are indeed both free to leave once the ship arrives tomorrow,” Lady X answered with a smile. “It has been good doing business with you Sorr. I see good things for our relationship.” She gave a wave of her hand and a small furry Chadra-fan scurried into view from the shadows. “Maym here will show you to your quarters for the night. The information on your mission will be transferred to the main computer of the ship. Be sure to make yourself acquainted with the ship before rushing off.”

Maym led Sorr through the corridors of the hideout. They came to a secluded star dock. At this time it had all the equipment to fuel and maintain a ship, but no ship was present. Maym led them through the dock to a room on the other side. It was sparsely furnished; a bed, a locker for personal items, and a desk with a holoterminal. “This is where you will stay. Unless you require separate rooms. The red button on the holoterminal will ring for me. I can bring you food or guide you to the mess. If you need any equipment feel free to make a list. I will see what I can do to facilitate.”​

"Well this certainly isn't the penthouse suite at the Grand Coruscant Hotel," Tiaza giggled as the door shut as the Chandra-fan left her and Sorr the n a room that resembled the room on Rory's ship quite a lot. Except this one was just a stay over til the ship arrived and Sorr could start his transport jobs.

"You still have a bad feeling about things?" She asked Sorr now that they were alone. She was still hanging on his neck tightly and glad to be in his arms.

"You did great in giving them what they wanted without giving them all the information that I am sure you have," this she purred lightly into his ear. The young Chiss was not the most knowledgeable person about crime bosses, but she doubted very much that the room was not being monitored in some sense. "What should we do with a day or at least a night to waste?"​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Sorr looked around the room and sighed. "So," the young man smiled when Tiaza purred in his ear. "Maybe we can find something to eat? I'm sure you're hungry Tiaza," He continued to look into her blood red eyes kissing her on the cheek lightly. "Do you want me to continue carrying you?" He asked. "Even if we eat in front of others? I can do it if you want?"

The young man grabbed an apple from the table placing it on Tiaza's stomach. "You need to get your strength up," Sorr said. "As soon as we get the ship, we leave immediately."

The young Chiss felt warm lips press against her cheek and she gave yet another purr of happiness. She wondered if someone might hear the sound and give her some feline nickname. The thought brought a purplish blush to her cheeks.

"As long as my ankle is troubling me and it is not a hindrance to you I would very much want to be in your arms. No matter who is around," Tiaza predictably responded. "I am sure the Falleen's droid is quite capable, but I would like a more reputable medical opinion."

Tiaza gave a bit of a hum, "I am famished," she admitted. "Should we call Maym back or just see what we can find on our own?"​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

"Tiaza bad ankle or not, I want you to be in my arms all the time." Sorr gave a nervous chortle when Tiaza purred. "Even when we're eating In front of everyone you can sit on my lap if it makes you comfortable."

It was probably a bit much, but he enjoyed carrying Tiaza around especially if it made her safe. Sorr loved her purrs, how she hung on to him. If anything, Sorr wanted to carry Tiaza forever though it was silly to think of something like that. "Here's an apple," Sorr placed the Apple next to her. "I don't think I trust the people here after what happened to us."

Tiaza took the apple in one hand while the other remained wrapped around Sorr's neck. She took a bite and made a yum sound that was only slightly different from the purrs that Sorr's affections elicited. "Very good. Try it." She lifted the apple to Sorr's mouth so that he could take a bite.

As she waited her eyes fell to her shirt. A small tear had occurred when it caught on a crate causing her ankle injury. It was not something important enough to be noticed before, but now it was something that made her a little embarrassed.

"I don't think we should trust anyone here," she agreed with Sorr's assessment. "But given the choice of Rory, the Marauders or Lady X; I would choose the Falleen. She seems the most fair." She gave a bit of a sigh and looked to the shirt again.

"I know Maym said he would guide us to the mess," the young Chiss continued. "But would it hurt if we set out on our own to find a real meal? Maybe a new shirt?"​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Sorr looked around and sighed. "I guess," he said. "But do you think the Marauders would allow to explore the place freely? I'm doubtful." The young man shook his head when Tiaza offered him the apple. "No, I'm not hungry." Sorr said as his stomach was growling. "You need it more than I do, I'm just wondering if we should escape or not."

Sorr sat down on the bed allowing Tiaza to sit on his lap and continue to eat the Apple. "What do you suppose we should do?" Sorr asked. "Should we try again and sneak our way off planet? Or do we wait until they let us leave?"

Tiaza gave a bit of a sigh having Sorr refuse the apple for her benefit. He was a born hero however and Tiaza truthfully did like the feeling of being taken care of. So she continued to eat the apple as she considered Sorr’s questions. “I’m not sure that the Marauders get a vote in how things are run here,” Tiaza said with a smile. “Lady X seems to have them all scared a little. I mean only that Togruta was even tempted by your offer. Before Lady X gave the go ahead.”

The young Chiss held the apple in one hand and she grazed her cheek across Sorr’s before kissing him on the neck. “I think we should give Lady X a chance. I mean if she really does need this new ship tested, what’s the worst that can happen? Do a couple jobs and then she takes the ship back and we’re in the same position as we are now. Trying to escape now is probably more risky than it’s worth. But I do think you’re right to think something will go wrong. Somehow I doubt the missions you’re given will be as easy as she’s making it seem.”​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Sorr shook his head sighing. "I don't want you to be placed in danger than we already are," he whispered holding Tiaza tightly closing his eyes when she kissed him on the cheek. "If these Maruaders are afraid of Lady X then I don't think it's as democratic as you think. It's more like Democracy in name only."

The young man stared at Tiaza kissing her neck. "Just like the Galactic Senate," he whispered. "But we don't have that much of a choice now do we?" Picking up Tiaza in a bridal carry, Sorr gave her a sad smile. "Let's go talk to her," he said. "See which planets are we going to go, the sooner we get this done, the sooner we'll get out of here and try to clear my name."

Tiaza cooed at the protective nature Sorr constantly showed towards her. He was quite amazing, but she was quite sure they would have to face some danger still before too long, and she unfortunately would be in the middle of it. But in the same thought she couldn’t imagine abandoning Sorr in his mission just to be safe.

The young Chiss gave a giggle at the suggestion that a democracy existed in this hide out, probably anywhere on Ylesia for that matter. Lady X was the decision maker. That much was for sure.

She started to reply to the statement but then Sorr kissed her on the neck. Tiaza predictably purred at the attention, forgetting what she was going to say about Lady X. “I guess knowing where we are going will help, but remember we don’t have a ship yet. So don’t want to be too pushy and piss her off.”​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

"I'll be nice," Sorr gave a nervous chuckle. "I'll make sure not to step on her toes." The young man continued to walk towards Lady X's location loving the fact that Tiaza purred. The Chiss' purrs placed Sorr's mind at ease at he approached the door. "Right," Sorr whispered. "I'll place you down once we meet Lady X. I'm not sure what she'll do to me, I might need my hands."

The last thing Sorr wanted was to put down Tiaza but he needed to be sure. "P-please purr for me," Sorr said his heart started to pound. "It's a little nerve wracking talking to the boss."

Tiaza held on tightly as they wound back through the corridor they had been shown through to their temporary quarters. The young Chiss gave a sigh as Sorr talked of putting her down. She’d grown so comfortable in his arms she didn’t like the thought of not having them supporting her. But she knew he was right that he would need to have his hands available for action, just in case.

Tiaza was quite surprised when Sorr asked her to purr. In his presence she had been doing it a lot, but it had been mostly unconscious. They were just about to Lady X’s throne room. Tiaza could feel how hard Sorr’s heart was pounding in his chest. It was funny how attractive his protective nature and his insecurity could both be to her. In the stories the hero smuggler who saved the damsel was always so sure of themselves. But Sorr was young and just starting out and Tiaza found it more endearing that he would put himself in harm’s way for her when he was obviously still growing into the smuggler she saw him becoming.

She knew it was about time for her to be placed down, so she tightened her grip on his neck and moved to kiss him on the lips. Not deeply, but more than just a friendly peck. The Chiss gave the young man the confidence boost he needed with a drawn out purr just under his ear. “You’ll do great. Just remember not to push too hard. She might be keeping you in the dark, but she’s still the best way out of here.”​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Sorr was new to this, he still had a hard time traversing the minefield of lies and deceit in the criminal underworld. The fact that he made it this far was a miracle to say the least. The fact that his lies kept he and Tiaza alive was even more surprising and disturbing, sure Sorr loved to slice into databases, build Holocomputers and mods for his Holocomputers but this was a radical step. To not only become a Smuggler but also integrate into their system. "I'll try my best," Sorr said knocking on the door. It was easy to talk a lot smack behind a Holocomputer, to say it at a person's face especially one who holds the key to your freedom is..... nervewracking to say the least.

The Chadra-fan, Maym answered the call at Lady X’s door. “Oh. Master Sorr. I thought I let you know that your holoterminal would ring me if you needed anything. You really didn’t need to come all this way.”

“Maym,” the voice of the Falleen leader of the outpost called from inside the room. “The young man most definitely did not come all this way to see you. Let the boy in won’t you?”

The Chadra-fan nodded and waved Sorr and Tiaza in. “I’m sorry Master Sorr. I thought that you and Lady X had already come to an agreement.”

“He’s curious,” Lady X hissed pleasantly. “Waiting isn’t something that he does easily. And I don’t do much to put him at ease. The short walk to his quarters has given him more questions and the girl has given him the courage to ask them.” She waved a finger for them to come into the room and even pointed to a pair of chairs that were not there in the previous meeting. “He’s also hungry. See what the mess is serving. If it’s acceptable for civilized folk bring two plates for our guests.” She pointed to Tiaza’s side. “And the girl could use some fresh attire. Stowing away seems to have damaged her outfit as well as her ankle.”

The Fallen then waited for them to take the seat and focused her attention on Sorr. “So what questions do you want answered? I’m really not trying to be mysterious. But my Marauders don’t really get bogged down in details, so I’ve learned that the less I tell the better the results.”​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

"Do you want a change of clothes?" Sorr whispered to Tiaza making sure that she was comfortable in his arms. "I do like your red outfit, it amplifies your beauty." The young man paused his gaze averting away from Lady X whom he hoped didn't hear their conversation. "Not that you're already beautiful but maybe we can ask them to tape your ankle."

"My Lady," Sorr looked gently place Tiaza down. "I humbly ask what planets am I supposed to go to? As a..... person who is doing these runs I need to know the planets so I can plot the best routes."

Tiaza blushed when the Falleen noted that she could use a change of clothes. The blush only deepened when Sorr told her that her current clothing amplified her beauty. She knew that changing from the torn shirt was probably for the best, but she suddenly was less happy to do it. He suggested that she let them wrap up her ankle and she agreed that would be a good idea.

Her hand fell to the tear in her shirt and she frowned. “I think a change would be best,” she whined. “Don’t worry. This is my favorite outfit. I’ve got several more. I promise you will see it again.” Tiaza had decided that the Falleen crime boss had caught on to their bond, even if she didn’t know how it started. The Chiss singer dropped all attempt to hide it from Lady X.

“I think a good wrap on the ankle would also be a good idea,” she said back to Lady X.​
