Nikki’s chocolate colored eyes stayed locked on the floor beneath her feet. The idea of being left behind somewhere wasn’t exactly profitable, the idea of getting dropped off with the galaxy police wasn’t exactly her idea of fun. In her mind, she’d probably end up in the same place she was in with The Collector, except she’d have to play some form of diplomatic roll and put into the lime light. Her father did a lot of work with the galaxy organization to try and bring peace. She got dragged to one of those things before and it was so boring; but right now, boring seemed nice.

At the words of his official apology, her gaze flicked upwards to him, blue eyebrows raised slightly in confusion and surprise. When he was done she couldn’t help but laugh, a tear falling from her right eye and travel down her tan cheek as she looked at him in almost disbelief. Did she ever think they’d cross paths again? No way, did she expect to find a helping hand? Yeah right! She expected to introduce her fist to his face; she really should be mad at him for even thinking about trying to sell her but he seemed apologetic and it was meaningful for her. A small sigh left her as her attention turned to the ground, her hand quickly raising up and wiping away the fallen tear. Sitting up in a much more straight fashion she let out a small sigh and gave him a tender smile that moved across her full lips, the first time she had smiled since they had ‘reunited’. “Thanks Peter, I’ll try not to be a burden.”
