Aria stood with her hands on her hips while she let Yerbol take over the questioning. She snorted loudly as the Rodian made a comment about the nature of the Sith meaning that they would never keep their word, breaking into laughter despite her best attempts to contain it. The acolyte wiped a year from her eye, grinning at the alien.
"And here I thought you were stupid, he's the smart one of the lot of them it seems!"
The human male's shouting cut her off again as he and the Twi'lek resumed their verbal sparring. "Hnnh." She grunted in agreement with Yerbol. "Shut your eyes and turn around then if you can't handle watching." Aria quipped back at the Knight impatiently, "I'll kill them if I have to and I'm NOT cleaning up the mess if you start throwing up." Turning back to the two aliens she scrutinised them further. Yerbol was right about that too, there was only one 'innocent' here and both aliens claimed that they were the one in question. Arms crossed over her chest, Aria's head tipped to the left as she began further inquiries.
"You say that he is your friend and yet we have strict instructions that only one of you may be pardoned."
She fired off another few volts of electricity, purposefully glancing it off the bars of the cage. Some of the bolts bounced off the metal and singed the aliens inside. Aria narrowed her eyes, focusing, she reached out with one hand. Slowly, she began to close off their airways. Not completely, or they would never get the answers they wanted; but just enough to make the Twi'lek and Rodian start to squirm uncomfortably. "There is no honour among thieves, it's every man for himself right? So why try to barter for one another, if we were to believe you and set you both free you would just be trying to kill each other to keep this so-called treasure to yourself, wouldn't you? Save yourself the trouble and come clean now, or I'm going to start losing my patience and I might just off the lot of you and make it look like a terrible accident."
The acolyte let the threat sink in, leaning closer to Yerbol again she spoke in a whisper. "They could work for a criminal syndicate I suppose. But if we're heading down that route then the lines start blurring together and then I have to wonder if we've been put up to a trick question." The possibility had only just occured to her, perhaps none of them were innocent after all. "Though if I had to put my bets in I'd say we let the Rodian go. His story matches up the best with the others..." her shoulders lift and then drop in a shrug.
"Thieves are capable of honouring agreements still." The Twi'lek sniffed, his eyes darting between Aria and Yerbol. "Perhaps we may still have some morals even if they are...selective."
"At any rate you're losing your case right now." The acolyte retorted, "As it stands you have nothing of use to offer the Sith if we set you free; so you can fly...so can I and so can my friend here. The Rodian at least has the smarts to know he can't trust anyone, he's probably smart enough to crack other problems for us." She laid the ultimatum out for the pair, hoping it would entice the last tidbits of information out of them so they could finish this up and get it over with. Aria was pretty certain of her view on the matter but she wanted to give Yerbol a chance to weigh in his piece as well before she inflicted anything fatal on the prisoners that they deemed to be guilty or unworthy.
