“Copy. Rio, come with me.”
Ryn powered up the ship and eased it out of the Grey Wake’s bay.
“Altridi, come in. I’ve got the ship. You have the money?”
A voice came through his comlink almost immediately.
“Good to hear your voice, Neliv. I’ve got your credits. I’ll transfer them once you land.”
“Appreciate it.”
Ryn brought the ship down a short while later, settling onto the landing pad. A blue-skinned woman was already waiting. As he disembarked, he clasped her forearm in greeting. She clasped his forearm and nodded in return.
“You’ve got the credits?”
“Yes,” she said, producing a credstick. “Here.”
Ryn took it and slid it into his datapad. A soft chime confirmed the transfer, and he allowed himself a small smile.
“Pleasure doing business with you, sister.”
“It’s always good to see you.”
He stepped in and hugged her briefly. She stiffened for a moment before returning it.
“I’ve got business right now,” he said as they separated. “I’ll try to come by when things settle. Might have to leave the planet in a hurry too, though. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
She nodded once, watching him go.
Ryn turned and gestured for Rio to follow. “Let’s go shopping.”
