Stepping onto the curb, Anami closed the door of The Company's airspeeder and headed down the path toward the apartment building. She stopped at the locked gate and rang the buzzer. "Company for a Liafi Altair," she said sweetly but formally into the speaker.

She hoped the client was ready. Anami liked to be on schedule, but whatever the schedule of the client was, was her's tonight. The job shouldn't be too hard though. Near humans, like herself, were easier to deal with.

Deakr Cueve was siting on his chair in his apartment room. He was currently waiting for a taxi to come pick him up and take him to a place that was exactly 7/16ths of the planet. "Company for a Liafi Altair," Deakr heard on his com. Because he was an Alsakan Lieutenant he didn't use his real name, for obvious reasons.
He got up and pushed the button on his com and said "Liafi Altair here. I'll be down in a sec." He grabbed his pocketbook, lightsabers, and his datapad. Deakr walked down the stair and exited the building to see a Sephi exactly 157.5 cm in height and weighed exactly 54.5 kg. As soon as he sensed her heat signature and blood flow he instantly knew her name was Anami.
Walking toward her he said "Hello, I'm Liafi Altair."

Anami smiled politely up at what appeared to be a very tall, underweight, youth. "Hello, I am Anami Nuin and I will be your driver presently. Are you ready? The Airspeeder is right this way." She motioned toward the street lined with parked vehicles.

This Altair seemed decent enough, maybe he tipped well.

Pretending that he could see like he always does, he sensed the speeder exactly 10'3" away to him. "What model of speeder is that?" He said to Anami. Deakr wanted to start a conversation so the ride to his destination wouldn't be so boring. to what he could tell Anami was 18 galactic standard years of age.

"It's a Nisxsz." Anami says pleasantly while leading the way to the airspeeder. She opens the smooth red surface to the vehicle's passenger door. "It's outfitted with almost anything you could want while traveling." She waves her hand in the direction of a small minibar between a couple of the seats.

Waiting for him to climb in, she smiles, "Where is it that you are headed this evening?"

"A little place that is about 5355 km west" Deakr said. He took out a slip of paper and said "Here is the address."
Deakr got in the car. Looking at all the things he spotted a red button on the door. "What does this do?" he said pointing to it.

After glancing at what was scrawled on the paper, Anami's gaze followed Altair's pointed finger to the red button. "It is simply a window function command button for this door. It allows the pane to go up and down. It will be overridden though when outside atmospheric conditions are not life sustaining." She smiled before making her way to the pilot's seat. "The standard flight time for such a distance as you requested is approximately six hours. Is there anything else I can assist you with before we begin our journey?"

"Yes, estimating on the distance, how much is this going to cost me?" Deakr asked curiously. He only had a limited number of credits that he put aside for transportation and he didn't want to go over his limit.
"And do you charge by Time,location, or both"

Anami tried not to gasp in shock at his question. "Sir Altair, I think there has been an error. A specific contract should have been signed by yourself, either by hand or electronically. A flat rate of 650 republic credits for the first 12 hours would have had to be paid already for my meeting with you to have even occurred. Has this not been your experience thus far with The Company? Perhaps there has been an egregious error which we can make up for."

Anami wondered if he meant something else by his question though. Perhaps he was referring to the standard tip. She could only hope this was the case.

Deakr thinking back, remembered signing something on his datapad. sense he could not see text he just assumed the measure of payment was: pay when he got there. Lucky this was just a minor setback. "Sorry, I forgot about that" He lied. He still needed to pretend he could see.
"What do I pay after the 12 hours are up?" he asked. This he did not know.

"No, everything should have already been taken care of." Anami made her way into the pilot's seat and closed the doors from dashboard controls. "Shall we be on our way then?"

Anami revved the repulsorlift engines to life and gripped the steering wheel tightly. The airspeeder lifted gently and waited for further commands.

After some time, Deakr wanted to "break the ice" with his new driver. "So... How long have you been a taxi driver" he asked. Deakr knew that to every good conversation you need to start with the other person.
Deakr sat quietly and waited for a responce.

Leisurely, Anami guided the airspeeder upward, slowly avoiding the bright lights of the skylanes and towering structures of the city.

"I have been in the business for only a year and a half. It's been a wonderful opportunity for me." She smiled back at her passenger. "How about you?"

Gazing out the window, Deakr thought at the question. "I work in the Military department" He said. He stretched the truth a little but it was okay. He was still pretending to be Mr. Altair. "I've started about a half a year ago" Deakr explained.

Anami was nodding politely. "Do you enjoy your work?" She asked while taking the airspeeder ever higher.

The outside lights of the city planet began to fade slightly as they climbed above the horizon. At such altitudes, sky traffic was much thinner and so was the air. The airspeeder's censors picked up the atmospheric conditions instantly and locked all doors and windows.

Anami was loving the view. She always did. Flying put her in a good mood.

Feeling the speeder increase in height, Deakr replied to the question. "I haven't gotten much work recently cause' of the ceasefire but I do enjoy it." He said in a polite tone.
feeling a little light headed, Deakr put his hand in a pocket on his jacket and took out a small canister. Opening the lid and taking out a pill, he swallowed it and put the cap back on the canister.

They were in low orbit when Anami began to guide the airspeeder West. She gradually, and barely noticeably, accelerated to a speed she could not have achieved comfortably on the surface of the planet.

They chased after the sun which was continually setting in the distance.

"Please, help yourself to any of the drinks."

Opening his jacket to put the canister of pills back inside his inside pocket, Deakr mistakenly showed his lightsabers. quickly putting his cote back, thinking that she might of saw them, he chose to quickly change the subject.
Fiddling with the drinks Deakr asked "Which ones are non-alcoholic?"

Anami motioned with one hand toward the right side of the cabin. "Everything on that side is non-alcoholic."

Since Altair was trying to be desecrate about the deadly weapons at his side, Anami would also. It wasn't her place to bring up anything awkward or uncomfortable. Instead, as she was trained, she tried to work up a conversation with information he had willingly given her.

"Do you usually avoid alcohol? Or is tonight a special night?"

It wouldn't be night for long though. There was the flexing glow of twilight warming the cold, lifeless outside of the airspeeder.

The twilight would stay with them for most of the way before fading again into night.

"I avoid it but not for the same reason as other species. My race has the lowest alcohol resistance ever recorded. One gulp and I'm set for the night." Deakr replied to her question.
He sensed that she noticed his lightsabers. because he knew she saw them he said "Neat aren't they."
