Alexis looked down at the planet below and smirked as she heard several people complaining about having to go down to Hoth in the morning. She was shivering there and then in the bar relieved that she would not be going down to the planet in the morning. Once upon a time that would be her going down there but now she got to stay on the ship and look beautiful and deadly instead of being just fatal. It was not a change of pace that she enjoyed but she did make sure she was not the only one who suffered it making sure that several people knew that she was unchanged and could kill them the second they tried anything.

Ford placed a drink down next to her elbow. "Thinking about how many rebels you're going to slaughter in the morning?" he asked, a faint smirk on his face. "I'm looking forward to gutting a few of them myself, just to set an example; see the reaction on their faces when they realise just how foolish they were to turn traitor..."

“If they are there but I will not be going. I will only get to interrogate them when you bring them back.” Alexis commented looking at the drink raising an eyebrow. It was still unknown if there were going to get there before the rebels moved on but it would be close if they did get away.

"Going to miss the fun?" he asked, a mix of smugness and disappointment in his voice. "In that case, I'll only maim; you can dismember. How about that?"

“Only so many times I can wash blood off of myself.” Alexis said taking a sip of the drink she currently had in her hand. “But you say the most sweetest things to me for a Terran.” She murmured but nodded her agreement. “Will need to wear something more for that.”

"I'm sure you'll still find a way to pretend you're still superior..." he muttered, knocking back his drink and motioning for another. "If I were you I would be bathing in it. It makes a change from all the sitting around and playing nice with the Empress."

“Who said all I was doing was sitting around and playing nice.” The woman commented taking a sip of the drink but she was not going to down the drink when she had lots to think on for tomorrow. “Speaks the man who has never had to wash blood off.” She challenged him a little before smirking.

"Why would I wash it off? A true Terran bathes in the blood of their enemies," Ford smirked. "Behave well enough and one day I might let you join me."

Alexis chuckled softly, swirling her drink in her hand as she regarded Ford with a knowing smirk. “Oh, how generous of you,” she mused, her tone dripping with amusement. “Let me join you? Darling, I was bathing in blood before you even knew which end of a blade to hold.”

"Cute." His eyes narrowed a fraction, then rolled in vague condescension. "Though that wasn't a 'no'," he added by way of observation. "Admit it, Agrax, you'd miss me if I were gone."

Alexis let out a low chuckle, tilting her head as she regarded him with something between amusement and challenge. “Miss you?” she echoed as she took another sip of her drink. “Oh, Ford, I’d be devastated. Who else would offer such charming conversation and questionable hygiene tips?”
