Snippet #2752970

One month after takeoff from Dev'ma System

Sara gently landed the ship down on the spaceport loading bay, then she, Abraxas, Ara and Janet all got out.
Sara took out a little sack and took out some change. "I'm going to go pay for our stay here. You guys just stay put."
"Uh, exactly how long are we sssstaying here again?" Abraxas inquired.
"Possibly, the time it will take to show your bow to Ara's grandfather's item crafter friend. Equally possible, we stay here indefinitively, until someone manages to get those robots out of there. Now, I have to go." She walked off.
"Don't forget to change in the money for the currency they use here!" Janet called after here. Sara just rolled her eyes.
Janet smirked. She liked Sara. A bit of a stick in the mud, but those types were always fun to play with.
She caught Abraxas looking at her again. He'd been doing that for most of the month on that blasted ship, and it had started to get on her nerves - even though she knew she was fated to get with him eventually. For now, she could ignore him all she wanted. "You mind?" she asked, adding all the dryness she could in her voice.
Abraxas started. "Uh-"
"Whatever. I'm going to go see if they have a decent soda machine in this place." She walked off, leaving Abraxas with Ara.
He turned to her. "Sssso, what do you think of-"
"Actually, I'm gonna go see if they have any cigarette vending machines."
"Hey, you can't just leave me here all by mysssself!"
"Fine. Then come with me. I've been staving off the addiction for over two weeks, I deserve this privilege. Don't tell Sara, would you?"
Abraxas groaned, but followed Ara in her quest for a decent drag.
