Runi tried to plaster on his normal half-grin, but his lack of sleep caught up with him and instead he yawned loudly before returning her head nod with one of his own. He had spent the night before packing and planning this little meeting and it had definitely not gone the way he had hoped. Nearly attacking your employer was not a good thing on any planet.

"Just a nice room and a fresher. After that I might hit the nearest cantina and drink myself stupid and find some company. Maybe not in that order though."

He noticed her posturing but paid it no mind, he seen it done by worse people but he did get the hint. She would be just as quick to draw on him as he would on her, at least until she got to know him.He gave a little chuckle as he looked around and noticed an open door. "Anyone mind if I take this one?" he asked as he began to move towards it. Normally he wouldn't have bothered asking but he didn't really feel like any more fighting today.

Runi nodded as he dropped his bag in the middle of its new quarters and looked around. It was spartan but that was fine, he didn't need much. Whoever had lived here before him had athing for weapons. Racks for them were placed evenly along the walls with a small stand in the corner and he was sure there would be more spaces in the closet. He would worry about scouring the room of all the old belonging later. Now he could use a bath.

He stepped into the refresher room. For such an old ship it had some decent equipment, both sonic and water-based refreshers. He chose the water. The hot spray worked the kinks from carrying that heavy bag full of all his worldly possesions and the stress of just dealing with the captain. A few minutes went by and Runi, still dripping water came out of the refresher with a towel wrapped around his waist feeling much more relaxed. And noticed the silence. His senses went on high alert and he felt the Force surge up in him despite the constant barriers he put up to keep it in his control.

"Runi, Boss says you two didn't reach an agreement. We gonna have a problem?"

Trying not to betray the blaring sirens in his head that screamed danger he raised his voice slightly. "So what chu you think of our illustrious Captain?" He noted her stance, the mandalorian ripper in her hand, and the way she had moved in front of the other woman. There was something else going on here, and if he didn't tread carefully people were going to get hurt. Most likely him. Glad he worked out everyday, water dripping over the cuts of his body might distract her, he doubted it would be enough tp sway anything but he needed everything he could get.

"Look ad'ika(darling), I don't know what's going on but the only reason he would say that is cause I didn't kiss his shebs(rear, ass if used as a curse word). I'd rather not have to fight anybody though." The urge to use the Force and slam her into the wall was getting stronger the harder his danger sense pushed but he held it in check, barely.

The grin was back. He felt dangerous, alive. Potential violence usually did that to him. He could feel the emotions boiling off the people around him, the Force giving him slight insights. He could tell Shaughnessy was a little uneasy about putting a bullet in him but it probably wasn't because she hadn't killed anyone before. More because she didn't understand WHY she WASN'T outright killing him. Most people don't tell you to put somebody at gunpoint and not put them down. And he could tell the Tusken thought he was back in control. His cockiness made him clench his jaw but his lopsided smile never faltered. The fact they thought he was really in an akward situation because of his near-nudity did amuse him slightly though.

As calmly as possible he undid the towel and began using it to dry himself the rest of the way off. Mandalorians were raised from birth were raised to be soldiers, killers, so seeing each other naked wasn't a big deal. Plus he knew he had nothing to be ashamed of. When he was done he put the towel over his shoulder.

"You need me cause I don't give a damn about your feelings. I'm not gonna' throw away my life cause you order me too. And I'm not jus' gonna' tell you what you wanna hear. Frankly you can kiss my ass. If you want me to stay then let me go get dressed. If you wanna' fight me, try it. And if you're gonna shoot me then do it before I'm armed. I refuse to sacrifice my pride as a man or a Mandalorian so you can feel like your in charge though. Love me or hate me, its up to you."

He knew what he seemed like to others. But he was like that because he knew he was good. He had never failed to track anyone or anything. He had never failed to kill a target. His confidence seemed like cockiness but it was simply the knowledge that no matter what happened he was going to survive and thrive. He looked down at his middle region. "Good thing it's not cold in here huh?" he said as he threw a wink at the woman still hiding behind Shaughnessy. "Either way can I go get dressed now?"

Runi nodded and made his way back into the room he had claimed. If only she knew. He was damned near as much of a aruetii(outsider) as any of them would be. His connection to the Force would make him an anomaly to most mandalorians. A freak to others. And a target of shun and distaste to all of them. Hence him hiding on this ship while he learned to control his fledging abilities. While strong, they were wild and untamed.

He lifted the bag and dumped the contents on his bunk. The most obvious pieces were his armor. Other than that weapons, a few minor trinkets, and some sets of civillian attire were all the assests he carried with him. He pulled out a simple one piece jump suit and put it on over some undergarmets but left the top unzipped. Then he put on his boots one and tucked his dagger into the top of the right one. The holster for his old repeating blaster went on his right hip. He checked the weapons charge before he slid it home. All in all it only took him a few minutes. But it gave him time to get his thoughts together.

When he came back out to the group he could see they were all waiting for his response. But with the apparent danger passed his Force senses had died back down to the dull tremor they usually were. "Well for starters. I will take multiple jobs. But not if it interferes with my current employers plans or harms my comrades. I'm very picky about the targets I take." He laughed to himself. It was odd after all for a hired killer to have a conscious. "If anybody offers me something that'll take me away from you guys I'll let you know before I take it. If it's against you I won't take it at all. Pretty simple. There's way to much money in the galaxy for me to make it going against friends. That's if we're really friends." This time he threw Tusken the wink.

He rolled his shoulder and put his hands behind his back as he took a step closer and lowered his tone. The smile vanished and his eyes became serious. A rare sight for him. "Seondly. Loyalty is a big thing for me. If I can trust you to hukaat'kama(watch my six) I'll watch your back the same. Mando'ade, alien, whoever. If they threaten you then they threaten me. But if any of you turn on me I'll be sure to make it a bad day." And as quickly as the animal reared its head it was gone and replaced by the typical Runi smile. "I answer everything dal'ika?"

Runi looked at the hand, tilted his head to the side like a hunting dog who had caught a scent, and then clasped it firmly in his own.

"Sure, not like I got anything better to do with my time."

After he dropped the had he looked around at the young woman on the ground and the green kid who had somehow made his way back to where everyone was. "Runi Skirata for those of you who dont know yet. Introduction time?"
