Earth Sucks!

      Head cants, and he looks at her judgmentally.   ❝   Are we talking a  date-date?  Should I be clothed more fashionably than this?  Or do you not mind the accentuation?  Because you look  hot  enough  for a diner date. Though one of us is low on cash, the other surely has their ways of obtaining it if she doesn’t already have it. I mean, it’s the least you could do if you’re wanting a date. It’s pretty tantamount to giving to charity, even.   ❞

“I’m not saying that I want a dinner date,” she correct. “I’m saying if you want to get know me a bit more personally, you might as well ask me out first. Not that I would complain about dinner with someone like you.”

“Uh, well– we kinda crash landed. Green’s not in the best   shape, and I can’t reach any of my teammates. Which    means I’m stranded, until the others find me or I find the   necessary equipment to fix Green. Whichever comes first,   I guess.” 

Honestly, she wouldn’t be so eager to help, or so charitable if this person wasn’t human. Earth was one of the few, non-enslaved, oblivious planets and she realized that quickly. She picked up on the dictator's work quickly and new it wasn’t worth messing with him. She passively just helped the runaways for now. The ones, like her, that kept their distance from the mad man. 

“I know you’re trying to find some loophole in my logic but it’s not going to work. I do what I do because the cops can’t be everywhere at once and someone like you would probably slip past them. The law is the law and you broke it, stop trying to wriggle your way out of it. Maybe they’ll be more lenient to you since you’re only a kid.”

“If you’re so good, why are you the one wearing the mask and not me? I’ve had enough dealing with the cops before to know they don’t wear masks.” She kept moving, refusing to stay still then. Though, the easiest thing would be to escape some half wits in uniform. They were usually the same. She could also probably just beam back up to her ship and left the moment he let go. 

     He’s a fool. It’s written clearly on his face that he’s a sucker for sweet talking. That includes pet names, compliments, the works. He didn’t even get a chance to respond before he was tugged away ( not like he would’ve denied her request, because you should never turn from a lady in need ). It’s not like there was any imminent danger of the galra suddenly appearing, so who cared if Lance stepped out for a short period of time? Gladly, he followed her, taking a moment to try and pay attention to both her and their surroundings before speaking. “– So, uh, what do you need?”

“Some guys were chasing me.” Not a complete lie. “I was hoping I could hide behind you until they passed. I rather not get caught by them.”

       ❝   Because you’re a unique kind of thief,   ❞  he responded vaguely. She was very loud, mostly in her vibrant color of wardrobe choice. Makes her a very noticeable plunderer, no mask, no hidden agenda. And yet, somehow, she gets away with all her steals. Unless he’s unaware of her encounters with real police.   ❝   We’ve gotta stop meeting like this, though,  honestly.   ❞

“Aw, perhaps I enjoy these encounters,” she replied. She faked a pout at his comment. Perhaps their interactions made things even more fun for her. Usually everything was all fight and no talk. People didn’t care about her enough to listen to her dumb comments. They shot first and asked questions later. So having someone a bit different made things even more fun. “Maybe if you ask me out on a date, thing things would be different, huh?”

“I think you underestimate how often we get illegal aliens here on earth. We have laws for such events now, so yeah you’re in trouble. Unless there’s some galactic embassy to get you off the hook, you’re gonna be stuck here. And trust me, our legal system is slow.” He knew she was trying to talk her way out of this so he approached her, grabbing her hand to put it through the zip tie

With him stepping up to her, she quickly took a step behind him, making him either wrap his arm behind his back or let go. She wasn’t going to be caught so easily. 

“Not at the moment. You’re not getting rid of me that easily. And giving it back doesn’t undo the fact that you stole it. So come on, I may not be all that busy right now but I don’t have all night.”

If she couldn’t fight or run her way out of this, she’d talk her way out of this. Or at least keep talking until he gave up. That sounded fair. She had no idea what the item was besides pretty anyway. That’s all she really cared about. She wasn’t going to sell it or anything. If she realized it was a big deal, she would return it. Just the fact that he made a big deal about some little thing though made her want to keep it more out of spite. 

Not the best but there are like no wallpapers for Boom!s Joyride!!!

“I don’t think stealing and sight-seeing are exactly the same deal. You broke the law, you deal with the consequences. I’m taking you in.” He walked over, taking a zip tie out from his belt.

“Don’t you have biggest fish to fry?”
