Jinxy looked at the cup of coffee that had been given to her and slowly took a long sip. The dark bitter drink felt good going down her throat. It also felt good that a bit of the air between her and Trish had cleared a bit. However some of the words still stung a bit. Today had been a day for drudging up the past it would seem. She took another sip of her coffee and looked up at Amir. [color=6ecff6]"Thank you Captain. I will make sure you will not regret bringing me along."[/color] 

She studied Amir, wondering what he was thinking. Was he simply catering to her whims as a way of apologizing, or did he really want her along for her skills? She shoved those thoughts deep down and sipped her coffee some more. [color=6ecff6]"If you'd like Beth, I can set it up so that the ship would be a little harder to break into before we leave, if it'd make you feel a bit safer. Also I think we still have those guns we pilfered off those GA folks on Godwin."[/color] She turned to look at the pilot and smiled softly. [color=6ecff6]"Also thanks for the coffee. Feels much better to have something warm to hold after something like that."[/color]

She did feel bad for Amir. He was getting thrown into the 'villain' role, which wasn't quite true. She wanted to talk to him later, about all that, but right now in front of everyone else? Not a good idea. Trish was still mightily pissed at the Captain, and both Angel and Beth seemed to be neutral parties to this all. They had already dragged them in due to dinner. [color=6ecff6]"By the by Captain, I would like to have a word with you in the engine room later, if you don't mind. Just a few things I need to show you."[/color] A lie, but it worked. Besides, she did want to show him some of the parts they could get rid of, maybe scrap for some money. She shrugged, and took another sip of her coffee. Dang, it was really good.
