Had he been empathic he might have known that she thought he was cute....barely....dark hollow rings around his eyes, blood shot eyes, slouch and pallid skin...not so flattering.

"I thought you weren't drinking?" he says matter-of-factly. Without looking at him, Jakar continues to turn the pendant in his hand. "A bad memory kind of came back to me," he says. He takes a sip. Without warning he continues, the alcohol loosening him up a little at this point. "Caldari Prime. One of the biggest **** ups I've ever had the displeasure of being a part of." He shakes his head. "Dammit Nissa, you could've listened to me that one time." Jakar downs the rest of the whiskey in the glass and pours another shot. He looks at it. "Kerry! I want some ice!"
"Boss, I think you..."
Jakar stares at her. Kerry noticeably trembles at the look in his eyes.
"Sorry Boss." She puts two blocks in his glass.
"Thank you," he mutters softly.
Kerry walks away in silence and Jakar continues to sip. Somewhere in the back of his mind, there's a nagging voice telling him to stop or else something bad may happen. He looks at Leithe. "I saw you eyeing Kiara. If you'd like I could introduce you two."

"I'd ask how you got behind the bar, but my staff knows you. Thank you. I'll send an email around to my staff with the dates so we can accommodate it." He motions to Leithe "Leithe Askarii," - back to Demel - "Demel Derpovsky. Demel is a contractor that I had obtain me a new door after some maniac decided to blow it up."
"Pleasure to meet you!" Demel says in a chipper tone, bowing slightly and beaming a cheeky smile. His eyes suddenly shoot wide open, neural neocom message. Demel half blinks with both eyes and slowly regains his composure while fixing his collar. "Well, I can't seem to sit and drink, so maybe later," He then hops onto the side of a shelf, clinking a couple bottles and merchandise in the process to hoist himself into an open ventilation shaft. His head then peeps outwards and looks at Jakar motionlessly. "You should add security inside your ventilation shafts...." He then shuts the door and the small pit platter sound knees and palms crawling through the ducts echo quietly throughout the room. ((This happened before my Leithe got up to go to the bathroom so I'm making it a separate post))
Jakar watches as Demel gets back into the ventilation shaft. He pinches his nose bridge as he watches with a smile on his face. "See you Demel." As the man crawls away inside the shaft, Jakar notes that probably only someone Demel's size or smaller could fit into it. "That man would make an excellent scout or infiltrator," he says off-hand.

Leithe can only nod, its a common enough gesture, but it is one of sympathy, not empathy.
Too easy to assume you know that feeling, he considered briefly.
He sits down again, noting Demel, he ignores the man, effeminate, pretty, too much self confidence in his stance.
He mulls over Jakar's offer.
"That would be appreciated. She is very pretty....beautiful even..." He stops for a moment, unsure of how to continue. " Its been a rough time....I'm not usually so gaunt....then Dro... the stronger med take their toll every now and then...and I figure the look she gave me says it all".
He shrugs despondently. |

*Arc looks Niina in the eyes with strict seriousness, "yeah a date" scoffs Arc, "... I don't do dates." Arc reads a bit more info on Niina "also, you are already in a relationship" Arc continues to look serious for another second then lightens up a bit "however i'm here because It appears that your corporation has an amazing track record, and I would be willing to invest a few million ISK into it if you'd like?"
*Arc leaves his concoction in front of Niina in case she changed her mind if she realized this was business.

Jakar raises an eyebrow at the slip up about "the stronger stuff" but ignores it. He spins around on the ba chair and looks over at Kiara. She is young, her features clean. Her hair moves in the air with every motion in her dance and her hips, one of the most noticeable things about her, move evocatively. Jakar waits until she glances over and raises his hand to beckon her. She slides from the crowd, panting heavily. As she walks her hands and hips still move slightly to the rhythm of the beat.
As she walks over Jakar whispers to Leithe, "She can be a bit air headed or silly sometimes but trust me when I say she's by no means stupid."
"Yes Mr. Umbra?" She asks as she walks up, still breathing heavily. Jakar twitches slightly; he prefers it if people simply call him "Boss" but as Jakar thinks about it, it seems to be a thing only with the dancers. Despite her clearly Caldari heritage, she has an accent that indicates she had been in Gallente space for quite a while.
"Kiara meet Leithe. He's a bit shy but he likes the way you dance."
She leans forward towards Leithe. "Is that all you like?" She asks giving a quick wink.

ahhh hey there " i say to the bouncer, showing my card up again and walked straight inside the club. 'it looks the same, but things have changed alot' i thought, as i make my way towards the bar, once again recognizing the bartender.
"yo, its been a while. hand me the strong stuff" i say as the bartender nods and gets to making my drink. i take the time to look around, and notice Arc going out with someone pretty, over a few tables i see someone who looks like a merc downing his drink, eying a beautiful dancer walking up towards Jakar and his group.
'hmm.. maybe i should go there' i think as i try to relax, let the vibes from the club calm me down.` |

"Okay i'll invest 40 million ISK into Eskola Ergonomics Corp, for whatever you need the money for. or just to help you start making a larger profit. then in lets say 6-8 months how much interest would you say sounds fair for me to profit?" Arc says to Niina

*Arc sets his hands on the table "i do have many augumentations, one of which allowed me to research you and your corporation on the spot as i was talking to you, i like to see everything laid out in front of me, have all the facts.. I don't gamble" "You seem like a fresh start, your corporation is very unique and since you are so unique you don't have too much competition which means good business! is that correct?" *Arc smiles for a quick second then gets serious again

He grasps at the drink on the bar.
The cracked glass is empty much of his despair, he was desperately looking for something to shut himself up.
"The show was great. Really was..... It was....almost like watching water flow, really pretty." He mumbles, somewhat abashed, even in the dim light it was plain to see his pallid skin redden in embarrassment. His eyes were jolty, he couldn't bring himself to look at her for more than a second or two at a time.
The crowd, Kiara, cracked glass, he frowns, Kiara, the other Gallente and the Caldari woman, Jakar, Kiara.....
His hands noticeably shaking Leithe reaches into his pocket for the small med dispenser, he fumbles with the catch half a dozen times. |

*Arc diverts his attention to Leithe who is making a big fool of himself. (well that's an embarrasing pigment for somebodies skin to turn) thinks Arc *Arc continues to look as leithe fumbles with a small dispenser most likely filled with more of Leithes' drugs. Just then Arc realizes the woman standing next to leithe and begins to wonder if it isn't actually the drugs this time and if leithe is just more embarrassed than he has ever been, and that is why he is reacting this way.
*Arc slowly turns his head back to Niina (And this is why i don't deal with love) Arc reminds himself
*Arc smiles at Niina "And remember you do not have to sign this contract if you do not want to. It would be my pleasure to invest in your corporation, but i understand that if this is not good for you or your corporation then you don't have to sign. I'd like to see your corp prosper under your command."

"Naturally."
Niina doesn't even bother taking her eyes off the contract. Over time she had learned the importance of ensuring every detail was carefully observed before signing.
"Frankly I'm amazed you managed to draft a contract this quickly with such few mistakes. Then again, this all looks relatively simple. Five million ISK loan to be repaid at the end of the yearly contract with a twelve month compounded interest is the agreement, yes?"
She signs the contract and passes it back to Arc.
"I accept your terms."

(hmm i hope that was not a bad question to ask) Arc ponders his question and if it was a socially *okay* question "Actually..."
Niina cocks her head.
"I'm not a mercenary at all. I mean, my company dabbles in bloodshed but I myself have never seen a combat tour. I received my implant for medical reasons."
She habitually rubs her neck were it would have gone in.
"I was a tube born with quite a bit of genetic damage... No deformities thankfully or I probably would have been rejected entirely. But I did have to deal with plenty of diseases when growing up. Sickle cell anemia, ataxia telangiectasia, and no small amount of bone marrow deficiencies."
She laughs lighheartedly to hide the pain of those memories.
"You can imagine what that was like as a kid, hearing all those words and having no idea what they meant or how dangerous they were. It was kind of nice not having to worry. At least until I started getting really sick. I managed to deal with it for a while without even thinking about it. Then one day Galm up and left..."
She looks pained, but knows she's already said too much. She couldn't stop the memory from coming back even if she wanted to.
"He meant a lot to me, and when I thought he'd left for good I kinda felt like there wasn't any point in taking my medicine anymore. He came back, eventually, when I finally got enough money to hire him back without looking like a loser. By that point though I'd already gotten really sick..."
She digs her nails into her arms and looks down, avoiding Arc's glance.
"So... I didn't have many options after that. I could either stay in the body I was born in and do my best to keep alive or see if I'd survive making the jump to a clone. Our implants mean that we don't need to enter a body that's gentically similar like capsuleers, so I wouldn't have to worry about getting that ill ever again."
She brushes her hair aside and looks back at Arc.
"So yeah... Not a merc."
