___Sleek continued scrolling through the information on the datapad as she listened to L'Arra. Her story wasn't unlike Sleek's own. She was exposed to the world of starships like she was, although her expertise went into piloting rather than maintenance.
___Then came the stories about the Empire. Sleek couldn't imagine the awful things she must have witnessed. The Empire wasn't known for its discretion or regard for life, considering its penchant for torture and scorched earth policies. Her heart went out to the other woman, though she imagined L'Arra didn't want her sympathy. In her previous experiences with veterans, they never wanted pity.
___"Oh? One-a those perks bein' meetin' beautiful starship mechanics?" Sleek asked, glancing up from her datapad with a grin. "Y'know, yer makin' it real hard not t'take ya t'the bar right now and fix yer bird later," she laughed. "Not that it needs that much done, t'be honest. She's in great shape, and most-a this Di-Gi can take of 'imself," she concluded, removing the data bank from her data pad. The woman set it on the cart next to her.
___"Update some systems, perform some tunin', li'l other maintenance. T'be honest, feelin' like I overcharged ya," Sleek laughed again.
