Message: <blockquote data-quote="dpdx" data-source="post: 926658" data-attributes="member: 188">Ryn figured the droid wouldn't understand his (admittedly) rather ill-advised threat, and sure enough, Ryn hadn't got more than about 20 feet toward the river when he heard Leo walking up to him. What he wasn't prepared for (at least, at first) was the counter-argument. Or the prod in the shoulder.Hmm. So he does have a threat mechanism. Damn shame it doesn't react to gnarkrheiwee.THAT did it.Ryn's hand strayed to his blaster.No. I refuse to lose control THAT way.Ryn's hands went down to his sides. Nonetheless, his angry self took over, and he jogged back to continue his "discussion" with the 3PO unit, until he reached his shoulder, and tugged. As he got within microns of Leo's face, he barely paused for breath."No, no, no, mister. This is NOT over. See, where I grew up in the Maw, among the ORGANICS, we have this illogical little thing called HONOR. I'll spare you the circuit burn it would take to digest that concept, but know one thing:My illogical little human mind places a BIG, FAT, HAIRY deal of importance on that specific helmet, since, as you heard me say before, it is the fruit of my first direct act of Rebellion against this Empire. I'll also add that it could result in, at minimum, me joining my father in the spice mines.And considering that I landed the ship without killing us, slew three waffleheads, treated our wounded, AND sanitized the result, I think I'm entitled to just a little more consideration for my feelings than I've been getting from you and Mr. I-Can't-Be-Bothered-To-Lift-A-Finger-To-Fight-The-Empire over there.The good news is, when I GET that consideration, I'll treat YOU with the same amount, and not cast hideous aspersions on your marketability in the Outer Rim. Is ANY of this GETTING THROUGH?""NOW. It just so happens, I was headed back to the river to see if I could find you another wafflehead helmet to rip apart, if you'd only WAIT to see if I could. I don't know why it requires major mechanical surgery to pull the frequency numbers off a comlink, but if you'll access your short term memory, I was willing to let you do that to MY potential heirloom, just so long as I could have the shell, intact.You know, I DO appreciate what you've done for us, and you're more than just a hunk of circuitboard to me, if you want to know the truth.But you're also pissing me off.STOP IT!!"</blockquote>
