Wrong Turn

[Sumas Solus]

Nal Hutta/Bilbousa​

13:13 local time​

Despite finally making a name for himself in the Mandalorian army, Sumas was still the sketchy Zabrak with questionable morals. So it was no surprise seeing the guy doing underworld things and hunting down criminals for another organization that probably deserved to be hunted down as well.

The Meteor touched down on the landing pad and Sumas disembarked. His two Strills were on his thighs, but he had another surprise hidden under his jetpack. He checked his vambraces, his weapons and the rest of his things before slipping on his helmet. Thank goodness he had a filter in his helmet. The air on this planet was putrid. Sure, this wasn't his first time on Nal Hutta but he never got used to the smell.

He made his way over to a nearby set of market stalls with some random items and junk on it to keep himself busy. He was supposed to meet another Mandalorian for this operation. A Kryze girl if memory served him correctly.

Hopefully she wouldn't take too long to get here...

@Algarus

 

[Crystal Kryze]

Fortunately for Sumas, he was right, she wouldn't take long to show up. Guessing by the ridiculous looking ship with the flashy color pattern, Crystal could only assume that this was the one and only Crashing Badger. She still didn't understand what the deal was with Solus and badgers, but whatever, she had given up on an explanation. Setting her MM-5 starfighter down on the landing pad, she slide her silver helm on and leaped out of the cockpit, only to turn back and grab her essentials; repeater, vibrosword, you know the good stuff.

She had heard that Nal Hutta smelled terrible, but she wasn't going to find out today, her new suit upgrades were going to have their day in the sun today. Nice clean filtered air, none of that swamp gas crap was getting in here. Her X-13 blaster pistol was strapped to her thigh holster, with her repeater hanging around her shoulder. She supposedly worked with Sumas on a job not too long ago, but the only face she could place it with was the meeting for the Death Watch; the Zabrak guy if she recalled. She would enter the market, looking for that familiar T visor and Mando armor, knowing she would find her mark wearing it; no Mando would be caught dead outside without it. She'd certainly stand out here, as would he, and it wouldn't be long before she made eye contact with a Mando with....head spikes sticking out of his helmet. This had to be her man. "Oya." She grumbled, marching towards the Zabrak, ideally he would have taken notice of her by now.

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas had actually gotten in a bit of an argument with the Rodian shopkeeper over the overpriced piece of scrap that Sumas found rather interesting. He was on the verge of yanking the guy over the counter when he spotted the Kryze girl approaching. He stared at her for a second before flipping off the shopkeeper and making his way towards the woman. She was tall, almost as tall as him. She started looking familiar as he got closer. Was she the same girl that was getting really friendly with that other Kryze at the Werda Verda meeting?

"Oya." he said casually as he reached her. "The name's Sumas. I take it you're Crystal?" he asked her before starting to make his way to a nearby bar. "Our contact is supposed to be in this bar." he commented, gesturing to the bar ahead of them...but then he slowed and came to a halt. "Ummmm..." he hummed as he looked around. "Or was it that one?" he said softly, looking off to another direction. One bar knew about him and tended to get rather trigger happy if he came in...the other was cool and most likely was the place their contact was hanging out, and sadly he couldn't remember which is which. He tapped his helmet as he stood in thought, realizing this was looking rather bad for a first meeting.

"Oh, right. Yeah, this way." he said confidently as he turned and walked off to another bar. He still wasn't very confident in his judgement, but he needed to make a choice.

As they reached the bar and the door slid open, all the patrons turned to look at them. It was in this moment that Sumas realized this was the wrong one...

@Algarus

 

[Crystal Kryze]

Yep. It was all starting to come back to her now. This was Sumas. Various stories of this man's ridiculousness came to her, about plowing his ship through a barn, face planting in the middle of Mandalor's speech on the world. Yea, he was an idiot. Kinda reminded her about her brother to be honest. "You would be correct." She replied simply, keeping her gaze on him through the t visor of her helmet. She fell in line behind him, expecting him to know where to go; she soon found he had no idea what he was talking about, as he kept changing his mind about where to go. How the hell did this guy make it to Super Commando?

"Sumas, do you even know where it is we are going?" She asked, as she was starting to get a tad annoyed at his antics. They had a mission to get done, why the hell didn't he know where they were supposed to go? Finally, Sumas seemed to have it all figured out, causing Crystal to release a small sigh from her lips. About time. As they reached the latest guess from the genius Zabrak, Crystal was to Sumas' side as he slide the door open, only to have the entire bar turn and stare at the pair. That wasn't a good sign. She looked to the Zabrak, who hadn't moved a muscle, before shaking her head. "Let me guess. This isn't the right spot either." This boy was hopeless.

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas stood frozen in place, watching as more and more patrons turned to look at them. They were all getting ready to draw their blasters. "Nope. MOVE!" he shouted as he hurled both frag grenades into the bar and closed the door before the place lit up with blaster fire. Two loud thuds and a bunch of screaming confirmed that the grenades hit more than a few of them. "Let's get out of here!" he shouted as he drew a pistol and turned to drop a guy behind them. His second pistol was also drawn as he rushed to tip a table over for cover.

Taking cover behind it, Sumas peered around the side to fire a few shots off as the streets started to turn on them. Multiple shooters were taking cover behind stalls. Sumas spotted the Rodian that gave him trouble in the mix. A plan formed in his head as he smirked behind his T-visor. As the man ran for cover, Sumas fired a shot through his head to drop him instantly. The perfect murder...

"I'm going to pop some smokes, give us cover to make a run for that alley over there." he explained to Crystal, pointing with a barrel at a nearby alley that seemed clear.

@Algarus

 

[Crystal Kryze]

Crystal didn't catch the inital threat, until she saw the Zabrak begin to move. By the time she registered what was happening shots were already being fired. Crystal jumped back, reaching for the repeater as Sumas was already dropping someone behind them. Well this fell apart fast.

Crystal had her repeater unsung, as Sumas dived into cover, she was hot on his heels. Unfortunately the table made rather shit cover for the pair. With the entire street seemingly to have a hate boner for them, things looked a tad dicey. Crystal was already thinking of withdrawing, but Sumas had beat her to it. "I'll give you all the cover you need, just try not to get us lost this time." She was a little bitter to be honest, after all if his dumb ass hadn't gotten them lost they probably wouldn't be in this situation. Seeing they had a way out, Crystal had very little say in the matter, only other option was to try and fight it out here. "Alright, go." She stated, as she rose up, using her cybernetic arm to clamp onto the barrel of the gun, while her one good arm pulled down on the trigger. A burst of fire poured from the muzzle of her repeater, as she fired off a burst of twenty shots, sending many of their attackers in cover. Hopefully Sumad already had the smoke going, because once he did, she'd pull back with him, giving a quick five shot burst if needed. She did decide one thing about Sumas here and now, he was probably dumber than Romeo. In fact she was almost certain.

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas was already prepping his smoke grenades, though he had to admit that repeater was amazing for laying down suppressing fire. As she opened fire he threw the grenades to cover their position. In a few seconds the smoke had covered their position, giving Sumas an excuse to have some fun. Hitting a button on the side of his helmet, his vision switched to Thermal mode to paint a nice picture of the gangsters' position. "Alright, let's go!" he shouted to Crystal as he started opening fire on the gangsters through the smoke.

He walked sideways as he fired away towards the alley. As soon as Crystal passed him he would break off and follow her into the alley. With them finally able to get a break Sumas ejected the cells from his pistols and quickly slotted two fresh ones in. "They'll find us quickly enough, we need to lose them. Probably gonna be crawling all over the landing pads as well." he thought aloud as he looked around, switching to normal vision again. He gestured for her to follow him as he made his way through the alleys. Both pistols were at the ready in case they bumped into any gangsters.

"Okay, I may or may not have gotten into some trouble with these guys a couple years back." he said over his shoulder as he snaked through the alley. One guy unfortunately bumped into him but he was quickly taken care of by the Zabrak. "We need to lay low, let them cool off then we can sneak back to our ships at nightfall." he said to Crystal, stopping to turn and face her.

@Algarus

 

[Crystal Kryze]

"Oh really? Wonder what gave you that idea." Crystal asked, as she moved into the alley. Least he had the balls to wait for her, a lesser Mando would have taken off without her. She was running about half dry on her repeater, So she let it hang down by the shoulder strap, as she drew her X-13. Being so close like this, the repeater would just waste ammo, the pistol would fare much better. She leaned up against the wall as Sumas was giving her the run down, something she could have thought up herself. Still, she would follow him through the back ally, given she didn't know the layout all that well; though she wasn't sure if Sumas knew it much better.

"They really seem to hate you. Did you sleep with someone's sister and skip town?" It made her wonder what the little Zabrak had gotten into, though given what she had seen it was probably really bad. She stepped back as Sumas snatched some poor bastard that had stumbled into them, watching with a bored expression as he choked the man out and tossed him aside. When he turned back to face her, Crystal straightened her posture. "Right, and how do you suppose we do that spiky? Unless we have a safehouse or something we can hide out in, we're stuck in these alleys. Soon they're going to get smart and send people looking, then we'll be trapped." Crystal spun her pistol around on her finger, taking not that Sumas wasn't that much taller than her. "Now, maybe we should break into one of these buildings, silence the residents, and wait til then. Might work a bit better than running around like a bunch of pack rats. Do you agree?" Crystal paused, stopping the spinning as she had the pistol leveled at Sumas, before holstering it. She wasn't sure what he'd think about her current suggestion, but she figured it was better than what they were doing now. Yea they were badasses, but even a bad ass isn't blaster-proof.

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

"That...among other things." he quipped at her question. He had more than a few things that he messed up with so he really wasn't surprised that the entire bar turned on him. When they finally stopped to work out a plan, Crystal pitched her idea. Though her pistol was making him uncomfortable. Sumas certainly agreed with Crystal's idea. He had the same one in the works. They couldn't simply keep running around with no idea on what to do. He nodded as he looked around the place to see what options they had. He spotted a dumpster beside a building, making an idea form in his head. "I have an idea. Help me move that dumpster out of the way." he said as he moved to start pulling it away from the wall.

Once it was out of the way, Sumas pulled his trophy lightsaber from his belt and ignited it. He stabbed the crackling blade into the wall and cut a rather jagged circle out of it. "Come on, get in there." he said to her as he extinguished the weapon and kicked the piece of wall in. Inside it looked like some type of storeroom that was clearly not being used frequently. As soon as she was in, he would follow then work to pull the dumpster back to cover the hole before anybody would find them. For extra measure he slid the piece of duracrete back into the hole to cover it up.

Inside the building Sumas searched for a light switch since they seemed to forget putting windows in during the construction. He quickly found the switch and turned on some sad faint bulb hanging from the ceiling. He finally took the chance to relax and took his helmet off before giving her a nervous smile. "See. We're alright." he said with a chuckle.

@Algarus

 

[Crystal Kryze]

At least he was in agreement that this current situation was crap. He asked her for help moving a dumpster, which usually she might have found insulting, but she could see where he was going with this. Using her cybernetics, it wasn't too hard to move the blasted thing, especially with help. Having done that, she stepped back as Sumas drew out his lightsaber, using it to cut a hole in the wall, and kick it in. She was a tad impressed by that, though she kept a comment to herself.

When he told her to move inside, she would do so, squeezing her way through the hole and into their newly acquired hideout. It was still dark as hell though, as she was forced to turn on her helmet light to see. Sumas was quick at work patching up their entrance, but for the mean time Crystal would try and work out what they had stumbled into. It seemed to be a warehouse of sorts, so with any lucky they might happen upon some free booze to help pass the time. This fact was only confirmed when Sumas finished his job, surrounding the pair in almost pitch blackness before finding the light switch. Crystal winced as her eyes came to adjust to the light,before she flipped her helmet light off and looked to the Zabrak. "For the time being, yes. You are just a master of observation." She commented, reaching up and popping the seal on her suit, as her long red hair would tumble down as she slowly removed her helmet.

Several small jewels decorated her face as well, though they seemed to be almost embedded into her skin rather than piercings. Tucking her helmet under her good arm, Crystal brought her cybernetic arm up onto her her hip. Her expression would read with a level of mild intrigue in the Zabrak, though most of it was wondering how the hell he had lived this long. "Where did you get that lightsaber from?" She asked, looking around before setting herself down on a crate. "Because I'll be honest, you're extremely unusual. And not even the impressive sort, like just plain odd." She continued, setting her helmet down as she continued to look at the Zabrak. "Given we have some time before the sun goes down, might as well just talk. Not like there is anything else we can do." She didn't really know the other members of her group, not really. She felt a tad removed from the rest of her fellow Mandos, though weither it was actually what was happening or just her mind screwing with her, she wasn't sure. Least this would be a way to get to know one of the others.

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Hask smirked at her comment as he settled in, though he was a little surprised when she took her helmet off. He didn't pay attention to the embedded jewels at all last time, though he decided not to ask her about that. Last thing he needed now was to be shot for asking the wrong thing.

He set his rifle down against a crate and placed his helmet on top of it as she asked him a rather amusing question. He couldn't help but laugh at her comment and he didn't even try to argue against it. His reputation among the Mandalorians was quite well known by now. He turned to answer her but he fell silent as he spotted something. He looked down at the crates beside them as Crystal suggested laying low and chatting the time away. "I got a better idea." he commented as he flicked his right wrist and a blade emerged. He shoved the blade into the tiny gap of the crate and the lid and twisted to unhinge it from the nails. He lifted it off, withdrew the blade and pulled out two bottles of beer. "Talk...and drink." he said with a smirk as he placed a bottle next to her on a crate.

"Might not be ice cold but at least it's cool enough." he commented as he popped the cap off against the side of the crate and took a sip with a satisfied sigh. "To answer your question, I took it off a Sith I downed on Berchest. Shot her twice in the back and dropped a grenade on her. Last I saw her friend was running away with her in the woman's arms which was very odd to say the least. Tanx managed to snag the other lightsaber from the other Sith before they tucked tail." he explained as he pulled another crate over to sit across from her. "What about those jewels, if you don't mind me asking. Where'd they come from?" he asked her, gesturing to her forehead before taking a sip and leaning back a bit to relax.

He listened to the noise outside. The thugs were running all over the place but none of them bothered to look inside the storeroom. A thought crept into his mind and he quickly rushed over to the door to lock it down from inside before returning to his seat. "Just in case they think of stopping by." he quipped with a smile as he finished off his bottle.

@Algarus

 

[Crystal Kryze]

Crystal leaned back, watching as the Zabrak drew a knife and popped open a crate, drawing out two beers. A small smile stretched across her face as she would take it and pop the lid off with her her cybernetic thumb. "I can do that, multitasking is a skill of mine." She said, before raising the bottle to her lips and downing half of the foul substance. Her expression soured, as she pulled the bottle away after gulping it down. "Fething Hutts, always get the cheap shit." She muttered, before setting the bottle down. She looked back to Sumas, finding it a tad curious that Sith ran off like that, probably some half assed recruits. "Sounds like you got some pretty crappy Sith then, running away like that? Pretty pathetic display, but given the state of the empire I can't really say much."

She leaned back a bit more, resting her head against the wall. As she turned her head to face him. "The jewels? Just old habit. Had to practice small muscle movements when I was in therapy. They aren't anything special really. Guess I just got used to putting them on that I never really stopped." She shrugged, grabbing the bottle and taking another swig. "Probably should stop putting them on though." She muttered, wondering if she came off as being too naive with the rest of the Death Watch. She watched as Sumas got up and locked the door, taking a moment to swap out for a new beer as she was already done with hers. She retook her place on the crate, looking to her partner. "That's probably the best idea you've had since we've gotten here." She smirked, popping open another cap with her thumb. This one was certainly amusing.

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas chuckled at her complaint over the beer. "It might be like making love in a canoe but at least it's better than nothing." he quipped as he threw the bottle aside. luckily there were a few pallets with sacks stacked on them. This was most likely the storehouse for some kind of general store if he had to guess. Hopefully the storeroom of that Rodian he took out.

His attention was fixed on Crystal as she explained the origin. "No, keep it. I think it looks good. Besides, it fits the name pretty well." he said calmly as he sat forward a bit. As he came back from locking the door he grabbed another beer and took his seat across from her once more. "Stick around and you might find that happens more often than you might think." he said with a wink as he opened the beer and downed a sizeable amount of the watered down alcohol. They really did cheap out with the beer...he was now thoroughly convinced that this was the Rodian's storeroom.

"As for the Sith, I don't mind at all. Easy pickings. If those bounties go live again, we'll be swimming in credits." he commented as he finished his bottle off already. He rose to simply seat himself beside her and the beer crate to make things easier. "I also heard you sent a few overeager agents packing with that mission of yours. What was that all about?" he asked her with a chuckle as he opened his third beer. "Oh and you better keep up." he quipped as he took a sip, nodding to the beer.

@Algarus

 

[Crystal Kryze]

Crystal halted herself mid drink to give Sumas the most bewildered look at his comment 'Making love in a canoe?'. She shook her head and drank anyways, his quirks had a charm to them in a way. Maybe this is how he had such a rep about him. His compliment on her facial jewelry earned him a smile, she wasn't used to getting compliments on her stupid facial jewelry. "I'll believe it when I see it spiky." She muttered, as with two quick gulps, she was already done with her second beer.

"I doubt I'll ever face a Sith, they seem to be dying off faster than a twi'lek stripper at a night club. No one seems to be able to find them now a days." She lamented, reaching down to snatch another beer after Sumas so kindly relocated next to her. She was just starting to get into bottle number three when he inquired about her own mess of a mission, which caused her to pause in the drinking. "Ugh, that was just a mess. Let me tell you." She started, shaking her head.

"It was supposed to be this nice and peaceful summit, and these Imperials come storming in there. Mind you, I hate diplomatic hearings, so it was a pleasant surprise to say the least, but damn if they didn't want to get in the room with us. Spent the whole time firing at each other. Then, the one dumbass blows a hole in the roof and he comes along for the ride. Little bastard was lucky I couldn't get a kill shot on him, let me tell you." Crystal shook her head, a sense of frustration coming from her poor performance during the mission. "Should have killed at least one of them, if I didn't take that head shot I just might have." She finished off her third beer soon after, setting it aside and going for beer four. The taste wasn't bothering her too much now. "But no use whining about it now. I'll just have to make sure I kill someone next time I go out there." She paused as she opened up the forth beer, looking at the crate. "Hell, if we aren't careful, might end up too fething drunk to make the run to the ship. Well, you might. I'm no light weight." She commented, before dumping the liquor down her gullet. Good thing she had a high tolerance, not so sure about the Zabrak in the room.

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas gave a smirk at Crystal's comment. "Stick around, then." he said as he took another sip.

When she spoke about the rarity of Sith, Sumas couldn't help but give a laugh at the comparison. "I think those are still actually easier to find." he joked as he sipped at his beer. She went on to explain the mess of a mission she had. As he helped himself to his fourth beer he kept listening, noting how she felt a little down over the results. "Oh don't beat yourself up. I got hit with that lightning of theirs in the back and my backup dislocated both shoulders. All that matters is the win and to survive. You got out in one piece and kicked them back as well. That's what I'd call a victory." he tried cheering her up, clinking his bottle against hers before finishing it off and moving onto a new one.

He glanced down at the crate then back up at her. "I think we're going to have to finish off this entire crate before we feel anything." he commented. He looked over the other crates as well. "Though there's more than enough here to accomplish that task, I'd say...and enough to take with us by nightfall." he continued as he sipped away. "Plus I think I shot the shopkeeper out there so odds of being interrupted anytime soon are slim to none." he finished off his beer and moved onto another. Unbeknownst to him, his fingers were already feeling a little numb, though he still had a long way to go at least. "We still have a couple hours before we need to move. I think this seems like a reliable way to pass the time." he commented, slapping the crate next to them.

He leaned back as he sipped at his bottle, giving her a glance. "How'd that happen, anyway?" he asked her, motioning towards her arm.

@Algarus

 

[Crystal Kryze]

"I hope you're right. I haven't found a single one of those bastards to off. Maybe that'll change." She shrugged, raising the bottle to her lips and draining it empty. She grabbed bottle five, and went back to work. "Yea, I know. Just annoyed at myself, feel like I have to play catch up with the rest of the squad." She remarked, trying to think about where she ranked on the Mandalorian dog pile. Sumas at least tried to make her feel better, but there wasn't alot the Zabrak could do. She glanced to the crate of beer they were pillaging, and shook her head. He was probably right, this was little more than water with a touch of rubbing alcohol. Taking stock of all the beer they were sitting on, she would think Sumas was right about that. She tapped one of the controls on her wrist, and shook her head, they had well over eight hours until it would be nightfall here. "Yea, you might be right about that."

Crystal was already on her seventh beer by now, as she had to set the empty bottles on the floor. "Least we have this kriff to suckle on." Sumas comment brought a sigh from the woman's lips, as she quickly plugged the bottle to her lips and finished it off, setting it with the rest of her drinks, before talking. "Planetary bombardment, forgot to duck." She shrugged it off initially, but would go more into detail, because that was just a cop out answer. "I was born and raised on Medriaas. Same year I was supposed to become an adult as the same year the Sith decided to decimate the world. I actually didn't get hit by the turbo lasers, but got trapped in a barn fire and this is what I got from it." She raised her right arm, as it's mechanical parts whirled to announce it's presence. "Missed out on most of the war. Suffered alot of nerve damage, lots of kolta treatments. But finally got out of a hospital bed long enough to do something worth while." Her gaze went to her mechanical arm, closing and opening her hand in quick succession. "Took a while to adapt to fighting like this, but here I am." If not for her brother, she might never have made it this far. "Not all that bad though, except for doing maintenance, I'd say it's an improvement." She tried to make light of the situation, but the truth was she still wasn't comfortable with her cybernetic appendage.

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas nodded in agreement with Crystal. They were both in the same boat. "You're not the only one playing catch-up." he admitted. "I had to fight hard to get where I am now. Lucky for you, you don't have to do it alone." he went on to say as he downed his bottle.

Crystal decided to share her story...though the first variant did get a chuckle from him. Though he immediately fell silent when she told him her birthplace. Medriaas. He watched her intently as she continued with her story, not sure what to say. She finally concluded with a poor attempt at a joke, though he didn't exactly feel like laughing. "Wouldn't exactly call it an improvement...but at least you make it look good." he said finally, trying to cheer her up. "Seriously, you're owning the look." he went on, giving her a slight nudge as well, though he might be pushing his luck. She was clearly still not comfortable with the appendage.

Sumas sat back, looking her over. Though his attention was quickly pulled back outside. It had died down. It sounded like they were cleaning up now, more than anything else. He looked back to her then glanced again behind him. "They seemed to have chilled out." he commented softly as he looked around. He reached for his helmet and turned the thermals on but he couldn't see anything against the building. He took his helmet off again and looked at her. "Think we should take a chance?" he asked her...then looked down at the crate of beer. "Or should we take an extended break?" he asked her with a smirk.

@Algarus

 

[Crystal Kryze]

Crystal looked to Sumas as he began speaking, it was clear he was trying to make her feel better about what all had occurred with her. It was nice to know she wasn't the only one suffering with these issues, so that certainly helped elevate her mood. "It's just nice to know I'm not the only one who feels like that." She muttered, knocking back another beer in the process.

It was nice to know he found her initial comment to be humorous, but it was clear he was at a lose of how to respond to what she had said. She shrugged her shoulders at his initial comment. "Well, beat the alternative. Being the one armed Mando wasn't exactly a good way to get noticed." She smirked at his comment about 'owning the look'. "And what look is that exactly?" She wanted him to explain a bit more, because Sumas seemed pretty damn sure he was being savvy. It seemed to have worked, as she seemed amused by his comment.

The sound outside had died down by now, though Crystal didn't feel like leaving would be a good idea at the moment. She kept her gaze on Sumas, still smirking just a bit at the Zabrak. "Why go to them? We have plenty of beer for the two of us." She commented, showing where she stood on this issue. "Besides, be less of a hassle. They'll still be looking for two Mandos right now, we'd just end up back at square one." Crystal reached down and grabbed two new beers, popping the cap off the beer in her right hand and handing it to the Zabrak. "A break sounds good to me, but you're the one calling the shots here." She then opened her eighth beer and raised it to her lips, she still wasn't feeling anything, how bad was this beer anyways?

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas smirked at her question. "What look?" he took a sip. "Badass Mandalorian, with a repeater in one hand and a beer in the other, ready to give a literal heavy metal sucker punch to anyone wanting to mess with her." he spoke as he waved his bottle around. "Pretty hot look if you ask me." he spoke, only realizing what he said after the fact. But he didn't fall over his words, though his eyes flashed an apologetic look.

Crystal mentioned sticking around, which Sumas wholly agreed to. Crystal seemingly handed him the command of this "operation" but Sumas wasn't in the mood to shoulder all the burdens himself. "Oh, definitely. I'm not leaving all this free beer for them to waste. We're finishing it." he commented with a chuckle as he downed his bottle and tossed it aside. He accepted the new bottle and took a sip. "But I'm not gonna be the only one calling the shots here." he said. He leaned closer to her and raised an eyebrow. "You're in this too." he said casually as he clinked his bottle against hers and chugged it down. "Though in my humble opinion staying in here 'till nightfall sounds like the best approach. Plus I'm rather enjoying this." he admitted, shifting a little closer to her sub-consciously and helping himself to another free drink. Despite the stuff being so weak, he wasn't going to pass up free alcohol.

He rested an elbow on her shoulder and turned slightly to look at her. "Got any plans once we're off world?" he asked her casually.

@Algarus

 

[Crystal Kryze]

Crystal stared at Sumas for a long moment, unsure of how to process what the Zabrak had said, but decided to take it as a compliment. She smiled and chuckled, raising her beer to her lips as she drained the glass container of it's contents. "That's sweet of you. Thanks." She couldn't remember the last time someone actually complimented her, it didn't happen often, hardly ever actually. It was pretty evident that Sumas wasn't so good with his words, but that was alright, she wasn't either.

"I'm not sure if this beer is worth it, but it's free, so can't exactly complain about it." She remarked, looking back to the small hill of bottles she was creating, now as she addded one more to the pile. Was she already on beer ten? Or was it nine? She couldn't keep track now. She looked up at Sumas as he stated he wasn't the only one calling the shots, because she very much doubted that. He outranked her currently. "I don't see how I'm calling the shots, you're the one with the Supercommando status in the room. Unless commanding cyborg women scares you?" Crystal smirked, as she raised the bottle to her lips, throwing in a small wink just to instigate the Zabrak even more. "It's alright, my own brothers are scared of me. I'm used to it." She laughed, setting the bottle on her knee, resting her head back against the wall as Sumas scooted a bit closer to her. She was idly looking at the ground when she felt something on her shoulder, turning her head, she found Sumas now leaning onto her, asking her what her plans were after they were off world. Was this little bastard was trying to make a move on her? She wasn't sure how to feel about that, as she was both flattered, and insulted at the same time; a rather impressive feat. "I don't have any currently. Why, do you?" She asked, hardening her gaze at the Zabrak, wanting to see his next move. Was he going to back off, or keep going for it? Crystal had a reaction in mind, but that was for her to know and for Sumas to find out.
