Uri stopped, his back ramrod straight. turning he gazed at the source of the interruption of his quest for wine, women and a coil that would last longer than that last piece of Ammatar garbage that was foisted on him by an incompetent parts merchant in Sobeski.
"I'm sorry" he spoke levelly "but were you talking to me?"
He walked evenly and with a slow deliberation over to the sun mirrored man, instinctively sizing him up and taking in the enormous artillery piece that had cooked from some , no doubt lawful orbital bombardment for cash.
"I'm Dickdropov, and if you make some smartarse remark about my fathers name there is going to be trouble........freind" he stated flatly.
"If of course you just curious about my age then I'm 37 cycles past. I'm going for a drink and have some credits to burn tonight, Kersheda has just felt quite generous considering I smuggled her brother out of a pirate stronghold."
he turned, paused "your welcomed to join me if you wish" he spoke grudgingly, more out of some distant memory of politeness than out of any real enthusiasm.
