He some acquaintance of yours? [He steps closer, his tone lowering to a conspiratorial level.] An annoying ex? I've had some experience that way myself. Lying, thieving pōfù she was too.
[ she'd find that annoying if it weren't so nice to run into someone who doesn't recognise fred's name, or face for that matter. so she laughs just a little. ]
Now, you wouldn't be saying that if you found yourself conned into marrying a woman who uses her wiles on you something fierce then poisons you with a single kiss and sets out to steal your ship so as she can strip it for scrap parts. Who double crosses you on a job and leaves you stranded planetside in nothing but the suit you was born with.
[He smiles, seeing as he can kinda joke about it now, in hindsight.]
Huh. So this Fred fellow. He need some taking care of? Never did like hangers on who couldn't take the hint. Not that I'm proposing violence mind, just a stern talking to, man to man.
See, here's a fun fact about guns on belts. They come off. You want no guns when I go see this Fred, I won't wear one. [He shrugs.] That's shiny with me.
