Thesa headed towards the bar that stretched the length of the room, ignoring the people sitting at tables and drinking and talking that looked towards her and Zev as they walked in. She was just here for one thing, though a drink would never be turned down as she sat down at one of the stools and motioned for Zev to take the empty one next to her.

@gracehustle

"Do you want me to order anything for you to drink?" She asked, resting against the table as she looked around again, waiting for someone to come up and ask about smuggling something. There was always at least someone that would come up to ask.

@gracehustle

Thesa nodded watching as one person got up from their table and walked over, taking a seat next to her. She glanced at Zev and nodded to tell him it was ok before starting to talk to the stranger, clearly arranging a deal.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev was silent, looking about in a near perfect imitation of being slightly bored. He drummed his fingertips on the counter lightly, careful to make it seem like human, random drumming, not the even counting an Android would normally do.

@gracehustle

It took a few long hours, but soon thesa had secured some trade agreements, as well as a few drinks along the way. She was clearly not sober minded as she turned to Zev after talking to the last person and nodding, "There we go, all done and ready to go whenever."

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev raised an eyebrow a little bit. "Thesa, are you alright?" he asked carefully. "You seem…tipsy." he observed her carefully, doing the observations in his mind. "Definitely tipsy."

@gracehustle

"I'm not that tipsy, only had a few drinks," She replied, spinning on her seat and looking around the room with a slightly off focus look and air to herself.

@gracehustle

Thesa groaned, looking over at him and sighing, "Fine," she said, each syllable drawn out, "Just don't be a butt, loosen up a little."

@gracehustle

Her lips twitched up in a smile and she hopped up off her seat, stumbling slightly before catching herself and standing up straight, "Well, let's go."

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev kept a hand lightly on the small of her back to make sure she wouldn't. It wasn't that he didn't trust her not to fall…actually it was. He didn't trust her not to fall and hurt herself.

@gracehustle

Thesa pulled open the door and walked out, holding it open for him before absentmindedly motioning to the city around them, "Where do you want to go first, Mr. Party Pooper?"

@gracehustle

"But you said you were in charge," She reminded him with a shrug, her slightly drunk smart alek mouth starting to make an appearance with a smirk.

@ElderGod-Icefire

"But you know this planet better than I do. All my knowledge of it is forty years out of date." Zev replied calmly, looking at her with slightly raised eyebrows.

@gracehustle

She shrugged once again and put her hands up in surrender before crossing them, "Hey, I'm not the one who decided he wanted to be in charge. That was you."
