Old Man Draco (Zreame)

Willa looked at her and spoke. "It is far to hot in here, these miners I don't know how they do it and well I am a vahla we run a little hotter then others." She was looking around and listening to the rest of the mine with her force senses. She let her suit breath for a moment while walking off towards the other sections of the mine. As she was moving there was some discarded mining equipment and carts of stygium as Willa looked over it. "Well looks like a nice stash." The smirk on her face though had her looking towards some of the other equipment. More machines and parts leading into a deeper section at the bottom of a covered tunnel. She closed the cover for a moment and was looking over some of the things as she opened it and came up. "Someone has been digging down here into a larger vain but there is more." She came away with a mask and some of the paint.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame walked towards the cart and picked up a large hunk of stygium ore and looked it over. 'Interesting... might as well keep one to study.' She thought as she looked for a smaller one and placed it into her pouch before looking towards [member="Willa Isard"]. She opened her own coat a little herself as she undid her tie and placed it into one of her pockets as she undid a few buttons. "I have to agree with you on the heat wefh... how can they deal with it?" She then said as she wiped a little sweat from her brow and leaned against a wall. "What's that you got there?"

Willa was holding some paint and spoke. "Looks like a can someone is using to mark locations. I found several sections with ladders going up and some holograms. Nice solid state ones to they could use to hide the tunnels." She was looking up and towards the way they had come in as she spoke. "Certain the skulls also serve as a marker for them of some sort now but we'd need to be certain. The equipment down here is quieter, a hydro cutter that just absorbs and recycles the water it uses." Now though she was looking at some of the real prize. "And some of this." She held up a small chunk of aurodium. "Outer rim gold, literally when republic credits and spice won't get your something this stuff will settle everything on nearly any world."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame looked at the Aurodium and smirked a little towards [member="Willa Isard"]. "Well just like Nova crystals then huh? But then that begs the question who? and what for?" She then said as she looked the chunk over and then moved to take a seat next to her. This was perplexing her and the heat itself was a little unsettling as it made it hard to think straight and she was used to being able to do just that. "Frak this heat even though the vents are a little cooling it's still nearly unbearably hot." She said as she opened her coat fully and parted what she had opened of her shirt but she didn't reveal any cleavage just her all of her neck.

Willa was looking at her and yeah who was the question... She was wondering who might be doing things while she was looking at the woman. A nod of her head as she went back to standing in front of the vent before speaking. "Well I think we found something better." She was glad at the sensors and walking towards the entrance of the mine while she was joyous at the feeling of the sea air coming to her. She let out a breath before stretching there while she was looking around with the small nugget of it. "This is far better... we should find someplace very very comfortable." She wanted to just cool off and was moving towards the docks and lighthouse. She was beelining it to change from the armor into some light clothing and then she was going towards the water. "So what are your instincts telling you? Cause mine are telling me someone is screwing with these miners to try and make their fortune."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame followed after [member="Willa Isard"] and let out a loud sigh as they left the mine. "Finally out! Fresh air and cooling breeze." She half yelled as she got outside and stretched a little as she walked along and towards the docks and lighthouse. "Well that seems like the most logical solution. kinda makes this half seem like that show about teenagers solving mysteries.... or something like that can't really remember." She then said as she looked around for a small while and then grabbed the side of her head and ruffled up her hair. "Gah! what the frak is with this place!"

 

[Willa Isard]

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

Willa was looking at her as she thought about it and sat there going over the information in her head. "I don't know about this place but it is giving me an idea... not needlessly complicated traps that somehow work but we do need to find a way to spring this on whoever is doing it." She had a few ideas while sitting there and rubbed her hands together. "We could wait until the miner's go in, sneak into the lower tunnels and find them in the act all the while doing pratfalls and getting chased." A complicated plan and she'd mark that under plan A.... Plan B on the other hand was stay down there in the overheated mine and get some camo to stay there... with lots of ice or something. "Other idea is wear the lightest clothing we have, get a gun and something to keep us cool as we camp out down there to see who might come along."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame thought about the proposed ideas. "Well I like plan b but I have a plan C as well... We block the vents and pump smoke into the tunnel to flush them out through an entrance we wait in front of but well your the more experienced one here so what would you suggest?" She then said as she sat down and waved her hand in front of her to cool off a little as she felt the cool air gently kiss her skin. [member="Willa Isard"] had already the look of someone experienced in battle and in tough situations and Zreame was of the type that respected and sought to learn from those more experienced than her.

 

[Willa Isard]

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

Willa thought about that idea and.... pumping smoke into the mine had the benefit.. they could be outside and wait, they didn't have to be in the hot, dry mine.... but she was also thinking about the side effect and danger that the 'ghost' or thing might go to a different entrance. They needed a way to make sure he was coming to them where they wanted and to know when he arrived..... all the while hopefully not sweating down in some mine. The thoughts were rolling in her mind as she rolled to let her back be exposed to the wind coming off the ocean as an idea struck her. "Or plan d, well in y9ur case DD. We get some of that truth serum drug, add it to lemonade and while putting on the show to freshly squeeze it talk about our investigation and how we found what the'Ghost' is there for."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame moved her hands over her chest and stuck out her forked tongue. "They are D... [sub]and not that big..[/sub]" She said as she then thought it over before she scoffed a little. "But that is... well a little weak plan to be perfectly honest... well that and it's a little hard to understand to be perfectly honest." She then said while she still kept her hands around her chest as she then turned her upper body a bit to the side. [member="Willa Isard"] would however catch a slight smirk on Zreames lips as she looked away for a little before standing up and then looking at her as she placed her hands on her hips. "So what are we going to do now anyway?"

 

[Willa Isard]

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

Willa looked at her tongue and her eyes bulged as every thought in her head went to bad places. "Ahhh what was I saying? Oh yes... ahh I don't know I am making this up as I go. If this were a regular mission I'd camp out with my rifle and once the thing revealed itself.... plant a shot through its head." She moved a little though and sat there looking up the length of the woman standing above her with her hands on her hips. She was vaguely aware more of that tail and rose up while she was trying to think of a plan E.... "Alright so we'll go with plan E, neither of us like the D... So maybe we could rig a large trap that involves trampolines and a skate with a net."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

"Neither of us like the D? is that some sort of euphemism for something?" Zreame said as she raised an eyebrow as her tail flicked a little to the side behind her as she leaned in to stare directly into [member="Willa Isard"]'s eyes. "I like the net but skate's and trampolines? yeaaaah not really loving that part of plan E." She then said as she leaned back up and pulled her hair out of her clothes as the sweat was kind of making it too sticky against her skin, It opened up behind her before she combed it back again behind her head.

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

Willa looked at her and she had to admit to getting bad plans in all of this she was going down the list of ways and things they could try to do in her head. "You know it... well never know." She held a grin for a moment and looking the woman over she spoke. "Alright well we have more then enough time to plan but right now I think we are both going to need this for a moment." She waited a moment and standing there on the docks she raised a hand to push/pull herself and Zreame into the cooler water below them that was crystal clear with some small fish that scattered as she went into the water feeling the heat on her skin give away and all the sweat she still had washing away.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame had her eyebrows raised while she listened to [member="Willa Isard"] before she let out a little sigh. "Wait we need what exactly?.... AH!" She shouted out when she was tackled into the water, the cool water hitting her and washing away most of her sweat and cooling her down so well. Once Willa would let her go underwater she'd move up to the waters surface and cough a little. "You know you could have just asked me to get in you know." She then said with a smirk before waiting to let Willa catch her own breath and then pushed her under water by pulling her down with her tail coiled around her hips.

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

The hear rolling off her skin was like steam in the water for a moment as she took a sharp intake of air before going under the water. The coolness of it getting the sweat and grim off while she waited there for just a moment looking out with a few ideas. She might be able to come up with a plan now that she wasn't wanting to just spend the hour fanning herself and trying to find a breeze. She rose up from the water standing there as she let it roll off her skin and felt a chill, yes a chill from the air meeting the water and it was a welcome sensation as she felt something wrap around her waist and pull her back under. The vahla thought of two things she could do and only one wasn't being a dick while she came up. Grabbing softly but with full hands on Zreame to stand fully and close while she was smiling. "And miss the chance to say that I got you all wet... No no I think we both needed this after that hot dry mine. Now I can think again and next step should be investigating the houses... See if we can find any clues there."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame breathed in and bit her lower lip a little when [member="Willa Isard"] came up so close to her, she listened intently and her tail around Willa's hips was forgotten by Zreame. "You know if it wasn't for all that innuendo earlier I'd say you're suggesting the searching of the houses to find a bed." She then said with a teasing smirk and she then put the tips of her split tongue out and made them go their separate way's to either corner of her mouth before they also went back into her mouth again.
'Damn it calm the frak down Zreame who the hell it this woman anyway..' She thought as she stared a little at Willa and waited for her to respond to her little innuendo joke right back at her.

 

[Willa Isard]

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

Oh now that was shudder worthy and Willa was standing there in the water as she wanted so much to keep it going but she paused. Her body frozen in its tracks as she spoke... "I... I... I need to stop, but I think I might be weaker in this. If I didn't know better I'd say you're trying to seduce me." She backed away just a little as she stood there shuddering deep in her body as she felt dirty even though she was in the water. "I don't know what I am doing, I just know I might be going to far."

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame shook her head a little and then rubbed her head a little. "Well that and I think we should stop with all these innuendos as well." Zreame said as she uncoiled her tail and stood up as she splashed a little water on her face. "Besides that I thinkk we are going to need a change of clothes... and no not an innuendo just don't want to be walking around in wet clothes..." Zreame then said to [member="Willa Isard"] as she wondered if it had been the heat that ultimately caused it all.

 

[Willa Isard]

[member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]

Willa didn't trust herself to say something not innuendo towards that remark because the woman was correct. She just had to settle down and focus and let out a breath in a long line as she she was nodding her head. Walking back over to the docks and climbing up as some were looking at them. More then likely trying to guess if it was a fight or accident. Which was a valid enough concern while she was moving to go and get changed feeling... cooler now that she had a breeze sending a chill across her entire back and down under her skin. Well worth it for that coolness that wasn't going to last as she got changed into her armor again and a fresh bodysuit to infiltrate and wear. "Alright are you prepared to begin?"

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame moved out of the water and sat on the docks, taking off her boots and pouring the excess water out of them before putting them back on. She then went back to her ship that was parked nearby and came back wearing her usual clothes, though she did go into the shower for a few seconds. She adjusted everything and then left the ship as she was making her hair into a long braid behind her back as she got back to [member="Willa Isard"]'s position. Her swords giving soft jangling sounds as their ends hit one another with every few steps. "I am just let me finish putting this braid away." She said before she stretched a little, audible pops could be heard as her joints protested and her tail shoot out behind her and nearly curled up into a ball before moving back into it's lazy sway behind her.
