Entering stage left is everyone's favorite sky pirate -- or at least that is what Nicolai's ego told him. It was a "fact" that was anything but the truth as anyone who knew him and Victor were well aware he was not high on Victor's list favorite people. A fact the egotistical rogue commonly overlooked. How could he help his charms had won the heart of the fair Avatari? The beautiful first mate who had somehow not entered with him. How unusual. This wasn't the bar he had intended to raid. Shrugging, he figured a bar was a bar. As long as he could taste the bittersweet taste of his favorite vice, or second favorite if Ava was near, he could manage survival. Signaling the barmaid once he found his barstool of choice, Nicolai investigates his surroundings. He should be alarmed at his disposition, but a man who had been through what he had certainly could keep his head straight as he figured everything out.

"Ah, but he no doubt gives them the respect and attention they so desire. He doesn't just collect them and leave them to their own devices." No, he conversed with them.. which was strange enough on its own.

Ava tried not to question Malise and Malik anymore. They had gone to far lengths to get to the places they could and if anything, proved her early concerns wrong. Sometimes.. sometimes it was nice to be wrong.

He was right, to an extent. But for her to actually admit to it without a fight, so to speak, would be uncharacteristic of her. "Maybe you're right. Or maybe its an addiction that is just too hard to ignore and I'm much like a junkie always looking for her next fix."

	"You're on his side," he accused, "Just to torment me I am certain." Reaching for her free hand, he brings it to his lips, kissing it before returning it to it's original location. This time the hand wasn't left alone as he kept it within his, "If it keeps you coming back to me, I have to support this addiction. For selfish reasons, of course."

She kicked him lightly for the accusation. "No, captain, I'm on my own side. I torment for my own benefit."

Ava had to smile at him now. It was what could be considered 'simple' gestures from that always set her at peace with everything. "Oh, of course you would. Your motives are as selfish as my own. I'm not just the shiniest jewel in that treasure trove you've acquired over the years, I'm also one of the most rare."

A wicked grin coming to his face, showing what was to come would be anything but innocent, he tells her, "I have my own forms of torment to perform on you in private that will make you wish you had been kinder to me."

It was true. She was the rarest of all his treasures. Completely priceless as well. A jewel he would not exchange for anything in any world in any dimension. A charming smile came to his face momentarily before he nodded to show that he agreed in more than just his thoughts.

"I wonder what trouble we could get ourselves into in before we are allowed to return?"

She feigned worry and gasped. "You wouldn't dare. I happen to be an upstanding person, kind to all that deserve it." That wasn't really true and even she could barely keep a straight face at that. But she tried to.

She tapped her chin as she pondered over the possibilities. "I think you'll do all the trouble making, captain. I'm the innocent one of the two of us. In fact, I'm rather sure you'll be thrown into this place's equivalent of the brig within the hour." She was very sure on this, even if she had to help it along just to prove herself right.
