"I see you did not explain to her that respect goes a very long way in my presence," Volkavax warned, his words for Dirk but his eyes narrowing to cat-like slits as he glared at Jocasta. Interestingly, Jocasta would feel a psychic presence coming from the boss, showcasing he too could dominate wills or read minds, potentially. Depending on how strong of mind the victim was. Dirk's face was unreadable behind his mask, and when he said nothing, Volkavax snorted like a bull. "Yes, business... you have brought the body of Chalnarc?" Even as he spoke, inspectors with bionic eyes attached to visors welded their heads approached, checking the encasement to make certain the individual inside was who they had intended to find. A moment passed, and their visors blinked green, giving off binary codes to confirm the bounty. The purple tongue snaked out of Volkavax's great maw and slithered about its snout to showcase just how pleased he was. "Mephisto Sabre will be overjoyed we have brought his old business partner to justice. Very good, Crimson, as usual. However, I will not grant any more funds to give both you and your...partner, a full share." The old Dirk Crimson would have turned and shot Jocasta without pause, solving the problem right then and there. But he was getting soft, he supposed. The talks of 'honor' he had received as a child had begun to creep back into his head as of late, and he had given her his word they would split it. "Just wire the funds to me, and I'll give her half." He said in no uncertain terms. "Tell Mephisto if he has anything else for us, just say the word. Always ready to do someone else's dirty work for them." "Looking for more work already?" The xenos snickered; a terrible sound to human ears. His underlings laughed with him, else they might find disfavor. Even the girls giggled. "There will be a bounty board set up by the planet's next cycle. Relax and take a load off, my friend. Go and enjoy some drinks on me, for a job well done. You have earned your place here at my side, and if she is worthy of your company, then she may walk freely as well." Dirk gave a nod, though whether of acknowledgement or thanks it was hard to tell. Gesturing for Jocasta to follow, he turned and walked out, checking his cryptopad to find he had another 20,000 galactic units in his account. As soon as the two of them found a table, he would wire the money over.
