"Not unless the Technicians have holds on various planets," Algidus agrees, but the thought makes him shudder. It was something he hadn't considered up until now. From there he's content for once to fall quiet and hear her out... and he is reminded of why this particular human had grown on him so much, even if she technically wasn't that same individual any more. There's an attempt of respect there that he doesn't often get from others... and even if AJ might only be offering it now because she's afraid of what he might do if she doesn't, that's good enough for him for the time being.
"You can steal if that's how you get by. Me, I plan on providing for myself as long as I am able to. Removes the risk of me having to put up with anyone whining if I get found out and keeps me from owing anyone. On a planet like this there's got to be some plants that can be harvested for the water they store between the rainy spells and some wildlife I can hunt down for nourishment." Algidus pauses for a moment, considering the human before him. "If you wish to come with me, I would abide it." Picking off a hapless animal or two could be a good way to begin testing this partnership they were proposing.
