He followed her carefully, mimicking her movements, though not closely enough that it was obvious.
"And it became Human, in most ways that mattered." // OxO // OPEN
For a while, she walked, dropping back so she was walking next to him as she headed down streets until she reached what looked like a bar, though one that didn't seem to get much use from how small and trashy it looked.
Zev was quiet, cocking his head a little at the sight of the bar. "What is this place?" he asked curiously, looking at her, then at the bar again, trying to figure it out.
"the best place on any planet to find people doing illegal crap and needing things transported," She replied, a small grin on her face as she opened the door and stepped inside, holding it open for him as well.
"Ah." Zev stepped inside. Then if they found out what I am…I would be captured, and sold to the highest bidder. His mouth twitched slightly.
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.
Zev sat beside her quietly, his blonde hair falling into his face a little.
"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.
Zev shook his head. "No thank you." he replied. I couldn't drink it, and it would look suspicious if i had a drink but wasn't drinking it.
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.
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.
(Should I just timeship? XD I really don't want to write more dialouge about them talking)
(alright lol. I understand XD)
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."
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."
"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.
Zev sighed. "You are tipsy, Thesa." He replied calmly. "Shall we head back to the ship now?"
She shrugged, spinning again to look over at him, "Or we could go explore the city more, since I've only had a few drinks."
Zev sighed. "Only if I'm in charge." he replied, looking at her. "That's the deal."
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."
Zev blinked slowly, running through her words as he made sense of them. He hadn't heard the expression before. "Oh. Fine." He said slowly.
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."
Zev got up and accompanied her, steadying her carefully with a hand. "Don't fall." He said.
"I won't," She replied, not pushing him away but not really accepting his help as she started towards the door.
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.
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?"
Zev stayed beside her. "I don't care." he replied. "Wherever you want, I guess."
"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.
"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.
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."
