Sex and Candy

[Emelie Shadowstar]

Farfalla's Diamonds in the Hoth's Brand system (Emelie utterly refused to call it the "Ruusan" system just because of some silly battle that had been fought there ages ago.), a string of asteroids, home to a base that had been set up to house Silenus Corporation's operations, employees, and sometimes to her utter feelings of boredom: it's owners. It wasn't that the station itself grand and the their quarters weren't exquisite, Xavier had seen to making it so personally... it was still the home of business, and in Emelie's mind paled in comparison with their getaway at the vineyard on Lynaria.

Even so, she managed to keep herself entertained when running off wasn't quite an option. With the day's actual management of making sure staff was still doing what they were supposed to be doing and not skimming off the top, she had retreated to what had become her bit of personal space within the quarters she shared with her partner. The room had been decorated somewhat haphazardly and closely resembled what the "back room" of any of the more quality low-end taverns had, complete with dim lighting that varied from red to purple depending on where one was positioned. Central to the room was a rather plush couch of deep emerald green that faced a holoscreen that was projecting a view of the far end of the system. Currently within the space one could clearly see the large gas planet Myl Vlahu, one of the more frozen planets (Emelie guessed it might have been Gale), and the smallest hinting of the white dwarf star Petja.)

Unwinding was an understatement at that particular moment as Emelie swirled a glass of Gruvian Tovash in her hand before taking a sip of it and couldn't help but let a small giggle leave her as the small bit of blue smoke left her mouth upon exhaling after wards, traces of a chemical reaction with the other substance she'd procured from a recent shipment. A hand was raised to slowly bat away the haze that obscured her view of the planets... and the small blinking light of the console set into the table in front of her.

A deep sigh left her, finding small annoyance that someone was daring to interrupt her. Sitting forward she pressed a button that lowered the volume of the Dusk track that had been playing rather loudly. A small frown crossed her features as she eyed the incoming signal beacon again. Very few individuals even knew the link to the comm there and those that did rarely used it, which meant it must be a matter of some urgency. The music was lowered further before she finally opened the channel, a small holo projection popping up in front of her revealing a man, not much older than she was, with deep crimson hair that almost matched his red skin.

"Dominick... this better be good."

The slightly disheveled looking Zeltron smirked and ran a hand through his scraggly hair.

"Oi cuz, when isn't it? Hope I aint interrupting nothing."

"Nothing out of the ordinary." She let a small sigh of annoyance leave her as she eyed the projection of her cousin.

"Ah good, was beginning to get worried." He cast a cheeky grin that only caused Emelie to frown slightly before she leaned back on the couch once more.

"So, let's hear it, then. What yi da tuo da bian have you gone and got yourself in to now? Don't tell me one some tourist went and overdosed on that stuff I gave you."

"Nah, not this time." The Zeltron winked.

"So what is it?"

"You know that favor you owe me?"

Emelie let a small groan leave her. She hated owing people anything, especially more so when it was family. That feeling compounded exponentially when it was family and it was for something that had happened ages ago and Emelie had figured that it had long been forgotten about.

"Yeah, Dom, I remember." Another sigh left her.

"Shiny. I need to go and cash that in, savy?"

Emelie picked up the glass of Gruvian Tovash and took another drink of it.

"Fine. What trouble are you bringing my way now?"
