Ikarus

Ikarus chuckled at the girl, who's eyes flickered with varying fears and bits of confusion. He had apparently done something that had never been done before with this girl when he had caught her. Or perhaps it was that he had found her to be female.... He shook his head, continuing the chuckle to cover his thoughts. now wasn't the time to ponder what it was he had done to startle her. "I got it lopped off after attempting to steal food, kiddo. Hadn't walked two steps toward the door when I got caught by one of the Bosses. He wanted payment, and took my arm." He smirked, shifting his hold on her so he wasn't near choking her; instead, his robotic arm--much stronger than his flesh one--gripped tight into her shoulder. "I expect payment this time," As he spoke, he looked her over. Now that he had seen her face, he mentally kicked himself; how had he not seen it before? The clothing was several sizes too big, it seemed, making it obvious that she was hiding more than possibly stolen wares..... He then came back to looking at her eyes. There were a lot of things one could find there, if they knew how to look. "I'll start with something small. You know me, would have to know me and my place pretty damn well in order to find this room. So who are you?" Let her think she might get out free. But already he was thinking of several forms of payment, some worse than others, to inflict on the girl.
