Moments Lost in Memories }{ [Rox/Lil/Alec]

[Paige Demore]

[ July 15th, 2522 - Evening - After the wave with Priya's superior took place as mentioned in the thread "Agendas and Arrangements" ]


Priya sighed, what a day it'd been. Now she had to find the man Onas Knox, she'd explained the situation to Liliana. She didn't seem overly concerned, Priya didn't know why, but at least she didn't seem upset about what had been dumped on them. Not that the officer really cared how Lil felt, she just wanted to avoid a confrontation with the woman who was supposed to be her partner and paying her quite well. She'd have to work on her patience and such, Priya would be around the same people more than she was used to.

She was wearing nothing too fancy this evening, a basic black tank, jeans and her usual boots. She owned four pairs of the exact same boots, so they were all her usual. Alot of her attire Priya had custom-made, so she was able to point out to the seamstress where she'd like a sheath placed, or some straps to hold her sai. This outfit wasn't from that collection, aside from her boots of course, the only weapons she had with her were the pistols hanging loosely in the holster off her hips. That's all that was visible at least, Priya always had knives hidden away in her boots and push daggers in her bra.

Priya had gone out to grab a bite, not wanting to bother trying to cook, it wasn't her thing. Priya had no delusions about her lack of domestic abilities. Heading back towards the Athena, there was no hurry in her step. The evening was cool, with a slight breeze. A man's voice broke into her thoughts, "Didn't think I'd come across your path again Priya, especially not here on Persephone."

It took a moment for the voice to register in her memories, Priya knew who he was, Alec, that was his name. She couldn't recall how long it'd been since they'd last seen one another; but it was just a week they'd spent together, though a lovely week it had been. Possibly the longest 'relationship' she'd ever had, though normal people would consider it a fling; that was also appropriate. Priya took a moment to look over the man, still handsome as ever.

"Business doesn't always allow me the luxuries I'm used to Alec. Though I hadn't expected to see you again either."

The pair spent some time talking, catching up as it were, Priya seemed rather at ease around Alec; it was an odd feeling for her. He'd been working on Persephone as a mechanic and his sister Roxanne had been looking for a job, a pilot apparently. Priya Mused, the Athena was in need of a pilot..but would it really be appropriate for her to take on a former lover's sister? She decided that she didn't care, Priya didn't have a relationship with the man; didn't feel that way towards him, despite her oddly relaxed feeling in his presence.

Alec couldn’t help but grin right at Priya. Oh that week his family had been docked planet side was a memorable one. Not much of an emotional connection but that was fine with both of them. Funny seeing her planet side now. ”Well you always had nice tastes. Bit finer then mine. Still doin fine myself. ‘Cept I’m supporting my mei-mei’s sorry behind while she finds a job.” Wiping his hands on a cloth, he knew he must look like a complete slob. Even if they hadn’t stayed in contact he remembered how fun she had been. Course she also wasn’t exactly the girl you bring home; not exactly all sweet, innocent and rearing to settle down. That had been fine for Alec because he hadn’t been ready to either.

”So what buisness brings ya round here? Not that I’ma complain much. It’s also nice to see a beaut walking around. Especially one I know so...well.” He winked playful as his sly grin stayed there. Things with them ended mutually(if there was anything to end) so there was no bad blood. He could still flirt and have a bit of fun.

Roxanne was getting annoyed with this whole looking for a job thing. her brother had it easy; he worked as a mechanic here on Persephone. She was a pilot and wanted to fly so desperately. Today she was meeting with a captain who would hopefully offer her a job. Sitting on a stool at a local bar, she probably didn’t up her credit as a pilot much. The blue tank she wore was low cut in a sense, falling in folds from her neck. A wing necklace met the part of her cleavage, something she never took off. Like the ring on her right ring finer which was her engagement ring from Nathaniel. It had been a year since he had died, close to two. With her up and coming birthday, it just served as another reminder how long it had been since he was killed. Still, Roxanne had loved him so didn’t want to remove the ring. It was nothing special-the stone wasn’t real and it was carved to make it seem richer-but it was still from him. Now that his parent’s had gotten their son’s things, she was doing her best to move on.

Placing on a smile as a gentleman sat beside her, she turned her body towards him. Her legs which were clad in curve hugging jeans crossed over one another. Roxanne’s feet were clad with heels that looked like boots. Not very practical but one of the three pairs of shoes she owned. They seemed “nicer” for an interview then her boots. Listening to the man speak, it seemed like his ship would be a good fit. Except for one issue when it came down to it: there wouldn’t even be a tiny bit of privacy. Everyone slept in the same room and apparently not even a make shift curtain was put up for the wash area. Either this guy was a complete perve or a cheap skate. Both were not good options as she got the short of things. She didn’t care about bunking with someone or sharing a wash area but having absolutely no privacy-even for five minutes-wasn’t very appealing. Plus she liked the idea of getting paid enough to get the things she needed. ”Kuh wu! I wouldn’t ride with a guay toh guay nown like you if my life depended on it.” Sliding off the stool, she stormed out of the bar. The shop her brother worked at wasn’t far off. Walking in a hurried huff, she saw him talking to some raven haired headed woman but didn’t care. Or tried not to. Roxie knew that he hardly had time for himself with hr around. As she muttered under her breath, she walked into the shop looking for her brother's flask. Might as well have a drink before going to vent to him.

Priya shifted her stance, more relaxed than usual; she rarely felt this open around anyone. Alec had been one of those rare ones though, that's why she'd been able to spend a week with the man. She hadn't left because she was tired of him. No; Priya had to leave, she could feel herself enjoying his company too much and was having a hard time keeping it to herself. There had been no room in her life for that sort of thing, it wasn't in her cards.

"My tastes are quite nice, I mean just look at you." She purred, grinning all the while. "It's good to see you're doing well for yourself Alec." Her gaze wandered around the shop; it was a mechanic's shop, there was nothing glamorous to expect really.

Priya was in need of a mechanic for the Athena, but she didn't think she'd be able to handle having Alec around that often. There was too much potential to lose herself in that situation.

She pondered for a moment; where to begin about her current situation. "Well, I'm taking some leave time from the alliance; getting a shiny new ship broken in. First I've got to get her some crew though."

[roxie]

Alec was right back into his old ways of flirting with slight innuendos. Priya seemed to be as well. Old habits did die hard, especially for two people not so keen on relationships. He had a few flings here and there but only a handful he spent extended time with or went back to more then once. It wasn’t because he wanted more just they had the same views. If Priya was closer and they could both get their needs as well talk like they did, then he’d do it. But life was funny about how they kept that from happening. Probably so neither of them got distracted by things.

”Yes look at me covered in grease and sweat. But then again you never minded it so I guess my musk must be working again if you’re here.” Flashing a small wink he continued to wring at the cloth. His lines weren’t always the smoothest but they worked for Alec. well, almost always. Nodding he looked to the side at the shop. ”Parents aren’t gonna keep in the air much more. Gotta look out for myself. And my little parasite who lives with me.” Alec loved his sister but the fact she wouldn’t work a planetside job made it difficult to support both of them. The thought brought a scowl to his face.

A brow raised at Priya’s explanation for being around. ”A ship of your own? What you gonna join the seedy side with us underlings?” Grinning, it was kind of funny. Considering she was always known to be Alliance aligned. Which had made their fling more fun since they both fought in a sense for different sides. The fact she was looking for crew perked his interest. ”Oh, a crew? Whatcha lookin to fill? Roxie’s a pilot and like I said, lookin for work.”

Roxanne had found Alec’s little silver flask. Taking a couple pulls, it helped stop the shaking from the anger at what that man thought was proper. Seeing a bit of laughter and batted eyelashes between her brother and the woman, she shrugged and decided to go talk to him. She was still a bit upset and she knew he could fully calm her down. As she stood off to the side, she was in a middle area where she could look at both adults. ”I cannot believe that yi dwei da buen chuo roh! He expected me to sleep in the same room as five stinking men but also have no privacy when bathing! If this is the tzao gao I have to deal with I’ll work as a maid.” A laugh fell from Alec’s lips as she pulled her brow together. He was not helping her bad mood at all. Balling her fist she attempted to punch his toned arms. ”Juh shi suh mo go dohng shee? You’re my brother! You’re supposed to agree.” Sometimes he could be a real git. As he rubbed at his eyes, she turned back to the woman. They seemed to be in conversation. ”If you need some privacy to flirt or whatever don’t mind me. I’m only your sister in crisis.”

Alec couldn’t help but laugh at his sister at first. when she was angry it was always comical. She got all red in the face and tense, sometimes stomped at the ground, and she just looked slightly childish. Once he calmed, he cleared his throat. ”Roxie this is Priya, an old...friend. Priya this is my sister I was tellin you about.” Looking between the two he shook his head. ”Well maybe if you read more about the ships you’d know what the layout is like. Not just about their engines and whatever pertains to flying about.” Sure she was a pilot but she also should know a bit about the interiors to figure out how much privacy was possible.

"I share the ship; it's a unique situation I've gotten myself into. However there shouldn't be anything seedy going on, and I certainly wouldn't consider you an underling of any sorts Alec." She purred the 'you' in her sentence not to mention she was smiling, a genuine smile. This was a dangerous situation for Priya and there wasn't even any guns drawn. "Well I've actually got to fill all the ship's positions; save the captain's chair of course. Or chairs in my case"

Before Priya could continue a young woman interrupted them. Saying something about a potential job offer that had not been what she expected. Priya grinned at her mention of them flirting, she came off a bit dramatic but understandably flustered from what she was saying. Priya shifted her stance a bit; getting Alec's attention for just a second. She winked at him, perhaps there would be time for a bit of play before they left planet.

Her attention was brought back to the woman before them, whom apparently was his sister Roxie, the pilot. She looked her over, her tastes seemed casual yet classy. Priya did note to herself that Roxie seemed to have an attitude, but that could be just because it's her brother. Not to say that Priya didn't have an attitude of her own, because she most certainly did; a violent one at that. It was something she was working on, can't be part of a steady crew if you want to kill them all of the time. Not that she wanted to kill anyone...yet. It was only a matter of time though, Priya had never stayed around the same person, or people for that matter, very long.

Priya held out her hand to shake Roxie's, "Nice to meet you. Alec has told me a bit about you, most interesting being that you're looking for a job. Not to mention that you're a damn fine pilot."

[roxie]

"You? Share? As I remember you like things to yourself as you love control." The time he had spent with her she had defiantly taken the reins most of the time they were together. Not that Alec minded; he enjoyed a woman who knew what she wanted. He stuck the rag in his back pocket since his hands were as clean as they would get. Later he'd do a better job since by the way things were going he probably would need to be grease free. Already his day was perking up. Giving another glance over her he shook his head slightly. This girl was a minx and that was always trouble.

Despite the fun they having, he perked up when Priya said she was trying to fill all the positions. "Really now? Well like I said my sister is a pilot and not working. Maybe I could get ya two ta talk. She ain't bad. A bit...crazy with her moods but that's cause she's had a lot of bad happen." There was a time he could remember his sister being calm and happy all the time. But since Nathaniel's death she'd have dark days and then snap from them just as fast. His serious face then changed as Alec leaned in. "Plus she'll be so busy packing I don't have to stick around my place." Why beat around the bush when he could get somewhat to what they acted like they wanted.

Usually Roxanne wouldn't interrupt her brother like this but she'd feel better once she got it off her chest. It wasn't a huge deal since she had told the guy no but she couldn't shake the disgust she felt. If a captain ran a ship with that set up then it was better for all men. As long as no one got their rocks off for other buff guys then they'd have no problem. Only a girl who didn't care much about those things would go with them. Though her standards weren't overwhelmingly high she did have some. That's what mattered. Right now Roxanne probably only cared so much because she felt bad to still be living with her brother. Alec had been understanding of her not wanting to get stuck in a job she couldn't easily leave if she found a ship. While they lived off noodles and rice, she did everything around his place to do her part. Doing the wash, cleaning and cooking, the latter which she was awful at but rice and noodles were fairly hard to mess up on.

Once down her spout of frustration, her brother laughed "It is not funny. You're supposed to be on my side." Well so much for brotherly love. She shook her head while he went on to introduce whoever this girl was. Priya apparently. Roxanne glanced over and the woman more intently now. She knew that she must seem like a head case rambling on like she did. She just hated pigs who acted all decent. Extending her hand she gripped the other woman's. "Same though I can't say the same about you. Or if he did I just ignored him. It's very common for me to do that." Now that she was more relaxed she sent a look between the two. What was he flirting to hook her up with a job? Roxanne didn't think he wanted her gone that badly. "Yeah well I've been trying. But the one captain I've found was sleezy. Like he doesn't care about a woman having even a little privacy sleazy." She had no problem sharing a room ever but when she took care of her bathroom business she preferred to have some privacy. She stuck thumbs through her belt loops before shrugging. "I'll keep lookin but getting a little impatient. And I doubt Alec here likes having me around still." The way he nodded his head may have been sarcastic but she still pulled a hand away from her body to playfully punch him. Her mood swings were big but at least she was on the calmer side now.

"Do you guys need some privacy? Cause if so I'll finish that flask in there by myself. I don't have anyplace to be now." Alec shouldn't have much longer of his shift anyways.[/color][/blockquote][/blockquote]

Priya grinned at Alec's comment, "Yes as it stands I'm sharing. They pay is just that good I suppose." She gave a bit of a shrug at the end of her words. The bargain that her and Liliana had come to was in fact very good, most of which Priya demanded in cash and in advance along with some additional 'costs' that Priya wanted so that she could find crew. She watched Alec as he gave her a glance and shook his head, she raised a questioning brow.

She listened as he spoke about his sister, potentially a good candidate for the Athena. Her smile widened at his innuendo, giving him a wink. Suddenly she was glad they weren't due to leave for awhile still.

Priya watched as Alec and his sister went back and forth a bit. "There'll be plenty of time for Alec and I to...catch up, later. My ship has plenty of privacy to be had, if you're interested that is. The pay is nice as well, though I'll warn you ahead of time that I don't take a liking to being questioned by my crew."
