Sci-Fi RP Negotiating the Way of Space Elven Connections

[Knight_of_None]

"Hmph. Such hostility. I will have to see if I can soothe such anger...we have no support nor structure. It will have to be the slow way." He said thoughtfully

 

[RedCoat]

Miria turned her head, still steeping in her jealousy at Void “Perhaps she simply needs to be put underneath you, like the crackler was.”

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Well, yes, that would break her will, but it would be against my role as Envoy. I must negotiate, not force our future negotiatees to indulge carnal attraction." Mala agreed as he put a hand on Miria's his idly.

 

[RedCoat]

“Hmph… Canus evolved from dogs, they should be treated like them.” Miria stated, even as Void perked up at the word dog, raising her head as she assumed it was directed at her.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Not you Dog." He said patting Voids head. "They may have evolved from beasts, but they have held hemselves quite well. We just need to domesticate them to the Empires house hold." He said.

 

[RedCoat]

Void shrugged as he pet her, lowering herself back down and closing her eyes without a care in the world. Miria continued to grumble to herself, even as the crew busied themselves with orbiting the world below.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Now Miria, why is your scent tinged with such bitterness?" He said looking up at Miria

 

[RedCoat]

“Because Mawa. You are a warrior. You shouldn’t be dealing with them, you should be burning their world to ashes and taking them as Se!”

 

[Knight_of_None]

"I was a warrior. But now I am the Envoy. And we have no guns on this ship. Either way it is not my duty to wage war any longer. Even if it would be faster." He said

 

[RedCoat]

Miria silenced herself as he spoke, crossing her arms and clearly thinking about what he’d said. But she didn’t speak again, not as orbit was secured, not as they descended in a Wisp, and not as the Canus woman stood before them.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Mala stepped forward to the Canus, his Se at his flanks, gesturing to Miria fir her to introduce him as expected. As she delivered her Mawa, his titles and his pageantry, Mala'konzo eyed the Canus. His mask hiding his expression and his Aelfen scent not betraying anything.

 

[RedCoat]

The Canus in turn didn’t seem to give anything away as she met the masks eyepiece, the cold stare almost seeming like she was staring through it into his eyes. Then she turned her eyes to Void, where she crawled on all fours behind him “What is that? Mockery of our history, or an attempt at flattery, taking a Terran off shoot and making them act like an unevolved Canid?”

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Neither. This used to be a pirate who had made the mistake of raiding my Vessel and harming my crew. I decided that she would be much more useful as an example rather than merely dead. " Mala said aa he folded his arms behind his back.

 

[RedCoat]

“An example. Hmm.” The woman replied sharply, clearly not impressed by his words “And her nudity? Is that part of your ‘example’?”

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Yes." He said simply and unapologetically. "If one wants to throw their life to attack me, why shouldn't I?" He said

 

[RedCoat]

“Perhaps because such appearances are not seen in the same light to other cultures. You may see it as acceptable, but to do this is seen as reprehensible in mine.” She replied, even as Mirias frown deepened.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"I'm certain that is not a one way lane." He said as he stepped forward. "I can allow her to remain on the ship if your discomfort will prevent negotiation"

 

[RedCoat]

“No. I merely wanted to be certain you knew the way such displays may be seen to others.” She replied, studying Voids face further “As for your pirate… she has many Canus ships to answer for. I consider your ‘example’ adequate in punishment.”

 

[Knight_of_None]

"If they wish to take judgment, I will hang a pirates marker ariund her neck." He said with a half shrug.

 

[RedCoat]

"As you will. Perhaps you could brand it onto her rear, like a cattle mark." She shrugged in return "But your retinue is not what I am here to discuss and we have tarried enough with such. What terms does your Empire offer?"

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Our terms are simple, Join and Prosper, Aelfen artifice, our trade routes, and the wider Empire will not force tithes on your people. We can talk further terms ofcourse." He said
