This time it is Saanath's time to be surprised by the sudden change in attack. He marshals his features into a more neutral expression. He pauses for a moment to see if Gywdion wants to handle this one. If not ...

[sblock=if gywdion doesn't respond]Saanath shakes his head.

"Not our line of business."

The young merchant almost adds, "Did you?" But he realieses its unlikely given the marine's last question.

"Who was he?" he adds instead.[/sblock]

"Which is pretty much I would expect to be said, whether said person was a traitor or not."

"However this blunt talk is fun, so long as one remembers not to confuse bluntness with honesty," she cuts a slice of steak with surgical precision, "Did you kill Antonescu?". She pops the morsel into her mouth and chews it delicately whilst waiting for your reaction.

"Nope. I'm not an assassin, never was, never will be. I figured you killed him." Gwydion says, calmly eating his steak. "Thought he was a spy, and you offed him, letting the data be found by us, thereby keeping your hands clean."

She swallows and implaes a few chips on a fork, "No I didn't kill him; would have liked to though. Don't shed any tears over him, all he cared about was the money. Where is the original data?"

 

[DrZombie]

"Back where it should be." Gwydion replies. "We haven't got any copies. It's not something you want lying around your computer. Too many bad things can happen if the wrong people find out."
"So, what were you SWAT guys doing there anyway?"

 

[Wilphe]

"Like you say, bad things tend to happen if the wrong people look like getting hold of information like that."

 

[DrZombie]

"Good thing for you then that the right people got the wrong information." Gwydion says.
"Now, are you up for a dessert or do you want to go and have a few beers in town?"

 

[Wilphe]

"I'll pass thank you. I'll leave you with the bill, I'm sure you will have done well enough from todays work to be able to afford it," she stands, "Good evening,". Then, without altering the tone of her voice but not speaking loudly enough so anyone nearby can hear, "One last thing, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt this time. Largely, I will admit, because there is not a lot else I can do. However, if our paths ever across again you better be totally transparent in your alliegences as I don't like taking chances."

 

[DrZombie]

Gwydion blows her a kiss. "Same here, my dear, same here."

He turns back to Saanath. "Now, let's get out of here and have some beers."

Saaanth agrees.

Once they have found a more congenial place and have a drink in hand, Saanath says, "I liked her much more once I knew which side she was playing on."

And thats about all he really has to say on the subject. It done, and there are new things to be getting one with.

"So, you've given any thought about what we're gonna trade for? Maybe we should check out the TAS for any news, and see if there's some ships that have come in from where we're going."
