Kannick did notice her scars and the odd symbol emblazoned on her shoulder but only for a moment. He realized she wasn't wearing a bra and quickly turned away just in case. He couldn't stop laughing, and he felt a little sorry since it was a serious matter. "I'm sorry, I just- I can't take you seriously! Hahaha!" He finally got himself in control and put on his most serious face possible, to little effect because it was obvious he was still holding in his laugh. He was only making it worse so he tried to clear up the lack of communication. "You got- you got a little something here." He said motioning to her chin. "Here I'll get it." He swiped his thumb over her chin, lingering only for a second, feeling the smooth skin of her face. After an awkward moment he took his hand away.
He wiped his thumb on a napkin. "There, that's better. Okay, so the guy turned you in, makes sense. Sorry about that. Both the laughing and the double cross." he had yet to recognize the language she was occasionally falling into, but he figured he didn't need to know the translation. "Here, take this, play a game, draw something, look for bounties, whatever." He gave her a spare datapad as he spoke loaded with popular games and other stuff. He walked away, feeling still uncomfortable around her. There weren't many women who could get him flustered. He was used to the way the Galaxy worked, but he still didn't like it. Most people who had sex appeal used it and he usually rejected it completely. But this Keiyara the Killer or whatever was starting to get to him, and that bothered him. He told himself to be careful, but it was hard. He shook his head, Nope, I can't go down that road.
For the next hour he kept trying to find ways to avoid Keiyara who seemed to be doing anything but what he suggested. Eventually, he pretended to take a dump in the bathroom for a half hour before they finally made it to their destination. Flushing nothing but water down the toilet, he exited the bathroom, now there was no ignoring her, although he would try to stay on a professional level. Together they walked out of the rental ship where they would promptly scan the area for the ship. After a half hour or so of searching, they found Keiyara's ship on the other end of the spaceport. He sighed, seeing several guards around the ship and no obvious flaws in the setup of the guards. The one who had escaped, Diino's second in command, stood and watched as others dispatched by Diino refueled her ship.
He noted one odd fact though, none of them were armed except the right hand man. They were defenseless. He also noted they were all facing the same direction as if looking at the same thing the entire time. It would be easy to sneak into the ship, or even brute force their way on if need be. That was a red flag. It should never be easy. Turning to Keiyara who was hidden beside him on the roof of the spaceport. "You smell that? I smell a trap." He looked down, trying to figure out the best way of approaching the situation. They were waiting for them, and probably wouldn't be done 'refueling' until they showed themselves. What to do what to do. He looked to Keiyara again, hoping she would have an idea. Then he realized the proximity of their faces and turned away. And shuffled a few inches away as well for good measure.
