Kai had expected her to jump into the hot tub or the pool, but she instead walked over to sit down next to him. It was a subtle detail, but one he didn’t miss, a faint smile gracing his face. She changed the topic to work and he had to do a mental gear shift to remember about the job. He realized he almost began to forget about it, something that was very unlike him.
“Whenever you’re ready,” Kai answered. They needed a way out of the area, but he was prepared to do the job after that. He thought about her sentiments about the core and all the underground businesses there. While Nar Shaddaa had its flaws, you could get away with far less in the Core. Every activity had the potential to get you killed by Rangers, which wasn’t a problem in Hutt space.
“My work takes me all around the galaxy,” He said, “If anyone is tied to Nar Shaddaa it’s because they have a debt of some sort,” He wasn’t afraid to admit it, it was very common after all, “I’m no different. I gotta play the hand I was dealt,” He shrugged vaguely, glancing over at her, “I hide because I need to and to save my own skin. You hide because you’re afraid of your past,” Kai stated flatly, “Am I wrong?”
He gazed off into the distance, “Not a single one of those guys you play on jobs will help you when shit gets really bad,” He glanced at her again, “So don’t think twice about conning the hell out of them,” He gave her a grin.
