Viper makes an offer and pays for it to

"Hmmmmm do you mind if we talk in private Val? I'm sure I can get it as a gift at a good price." Viper says turning to you and throwing a subtle but oddly reassuring wind in your direction.

"Sure go for it." You reply as Viper walks towards Staci and puts her arm over her shoulder like on old traditional sales person technique, slowly leading Staci away from the Catsuit while you watch them both go.

"Oh don't wander off too pay for the other stuff, I'll get them too." Viper says with a smile as you were halfway down to pick up the basket containing your smart fiber bundles, cloak and adjustable pumps with the enhanced grip. You look over to Viper her head turned looking back at you over her shoulder at you and you straighten yourself upright and lean against a selection of camouflage clutch bags.

You wonder what Staci and Viper are discussing, wishing they'd stayed close enough for you to eavesdrop, or at least faced you enough to attempt to lip read, but all you could do is watch and wait as the two looked at each other, occasionally glancing in your direction with smiles and enthusiastic nods. The conversation they are having seems pretty intense but pleasant give the occasional movement you catch where an idle finger travels up and arm in a flirty manner. Finally, after a good few minutes drift by and you had long since given up counting a mental figure of how much you could make in a theoretical heist, having sussed out the security flaws, and even some additional measures which the store didn't seem to have but accounted for, in the first minute. You see Viper shake Staci's hand and she smiles as she turns and walks back over to you her arm outstretched in a handshake gesture.

"Perfect, I'll look forward to seeing more of you both tonight." Staci says with an enthusiastic girlish giggle as you accepts your handshake and begins to climb onto the display and take down the catsuit, where she carries it over to a holo terminal near the entrance and scans it through at barely 20% of its price. Viper also buys the rest of the stuff you picked up alongside a good selection of casual clothes for you, as well as something which was already wrapped up and paid for.

"Here's the details for the hotel we're at, just ask for Viper and give them that card and they'll let you up." Viper says as she hands over a card which you assume must have been some form of guest passes, but you didn't recall seeing anything in your room like that, but then again based on the font and print of the card, it could only be official stationary of your hotel based on how they had gone to extremes on the presentation of the card.

"I'll see you sexy things later then." Staci says blowing you both a kiss, as you walk out of the store clutching two large bags filled with clothes for you. You step outside happy with your purchases and turn to Viper with a smile.

"What......what sort of deal did you get?" You ask hesitantly as you follow Viper out of the shop carrying the bags of everything that you both had bought but Viper had paid for.

"A similar deal to what you might have made, but with my own special twist." Viper says with a smile that leaves you uneasy, especially the emphasis she left on the word special. You consider trying to pry more details but the thought better of it, burying the innate paranoid sense you had to the back of your mind, and a smile takes center stage on your face, which Viper nods at and then looks around the street at the various surrounding stores. "Alright then, I have a few shops in mind if you'd care to bring that sexy ass of yours along and help me pick out the right colors and other stuff." Viper says with a smile as she heads off towards a few stores across the way.

The rest of the day flew by as Viper took your around many shops to find her some new outfits that suited her style, and bar a brief time apart where you grabbed a few essential supplies for when your next stuck planet side living on the streets, and Viper went and bought a few things which she would only refer to as her special surprise, you both spent the best part of the day, or what passes for the artificially enforced cycle of the station, stopping for a nice meal at a tavern eating less fancy food which you both agreed felt more natural to you both.

You both arrive back at the hotel and see Ant and Jacque talking at the bar giving them both a wave as you both pass them, with Ant returning the wave, while Jacque opts to return the greeting with a cooler raising of his glass and slight nod as he leans against the bar.

"Well I don't know about you, but I think a nice long hot bath is in order, before changing into something suitable sexy for our guest tonight." Viper says as she stands outside your door.

"Sounds good to me, I take it we can send messages via the bots, as it's a bit less jarring than those comm units." You say as pull the keycard for your room out from a pocket.

"Yeah we kind of have to, the station actually jam the cheaper models like ours, something about misusing them in the past to record one of the megacorps which caused them some issues, so the bots are the best way to go." Viper says with a nod before she bends down and effortlessly picks up her bags and heads off to her own room. "Hope you have a nice relaxing time, because you'll need your energy tonight." Viper says with a giggle as you watch her walk down the hallway towards her room, before heading into your own the feeling of unease rising as you recall the offer you accepted at breakfast this morning, before shaking the thought free from your head.
