She expected a carnage, awaiting the moment to drop her two arms from his neck and circle around his torso with her other pair to dodge a skinning. But no, he froze with a huff. Guilt struck Aksel's heart strings. So, the rehabilitation program worked, he was a civil being. Even when potential attacked, the bulking hulking murderer persisted with a peace and stillness about him. He deserved to be freed, like the rest of them. Is freedom worth sacrificing for a future’s sake? Even if Aksel did nothing but what the Council commanded, would witnesses be restricted, detained because of knowledge? Ignorance is bliss. Ignorance is deadly. [color=FF0000]“We have two approaches,”[/color] she continued while loosening her grip and eventually hanging on with a hug around his neck. [color=FF0000]“Dealing with slavers or dealing in death matches…”[/color] The Captain circled around Cu by maneuvering herself with bruised arms. Yes, she still felt sore, hence her grunts when twirling to position herself face to face. She held his jaw in her hand, lifting his face to hers. [color=FF0000]“Senseless violence. It is not foreign on the Nomad, and it doesn’t have to be with me.”[/color] They would be making money on the side with wins on Aksel and she felt safer that as a supposed slave she would still be under the ownership of Cu. Though the concern is a Villianian duelist would bring unwanted attention. Yet even if the Council discovered Aksel, they could easily attempt to kill her in the arena. It would be an attempt, but a fair one, as Aksel will face other bloodthirsty opponents. [color=FF0000]“Hence, why I was suffocating you and why I am grappled against you now. Some hand-to-hand combat for practice? If you disagreed, fine…"[/color] She gave him a choice, unlike the rest of the crew where questioning her meant reckoning with her. [color=FF0000]"But know, I don’t stand strong with what can potentially go wrong with me in trifling with real slavers. It can be rough... rough for Villianians out there. At least in that scenario, my one master would be you. ”[/color] [/indent]
