AJ was less than pleased with his reaction, even with his assertion to defend her interests. She knew full well that were her demands any more specific and divergent from his wishes than simple survival, he wouldn't likely deign to help. It put her to thinking that she was going to be doing a lot more work in this particular alliance than Algidus was... she might have to think up some homework on the side for him, even if it had nothing to do with actual requirements that might develop.

Weighing the risks of crying wolf versus testing his willingness to give her an even trade, AJ decided that she would wait on it. But she rose to her feet now, wiping her blade on her filthy coveralls and slipping it back into her belt. "In that case, I'm getting to work," she growled. "I'll be back here tomorrow, this time. I'll tell you everything I know so far."
