"Why don't you try right now, sonny? You can't reach me through this cell, and because you're a rather unfortunate offworlder who crash landed into our city hall, I can keep you in here until your body starts to rot! I understand you may think I'm a woman under you, but right now? If you don't cooperate? This woman's gonna make you understand that I am a woman who's very well in a position TOWERING over yours, and I'll take that to stomp on your tiny ba-"

A hand wrapped around Sich's mouth before she got to finish. Shan plopped down beside her, tipping a raggedy cap atop his head. "Excuse my subordinate's hot head," he rasped with a smirk, effectively pulling up a disgruntled Sich from her seat with his hand still wrapped across her mouth. Her eyes widened in fury.

Subordinate? Who was a subordinate!?

"She's had a long day and needs some caffeine shots. Sich, be a dear and get me some while you're out? With a drop of hyperdorinate. Thanks, hon." He nudged the woman quickly out of the hallway doors and gave her a snap and a wink. He locked the doors behind her swiftly after.

With a relieved sigh, he slid into the stool that Sich had been in previously, smiling at Aenanu. "I'm glad we could get some time together. Your sister is in the hospital and she's doing just fine. We've been taking care of her. Now, as for you... I'm not sure that we'll be able to let you out until you play nice. But if you do that for us, we can be real nice back. Get me?"
