That would be wonderful, *Marcastus replied with as much sincerety as could.* I would...appreciate that very much.

*Aruna was about to respond, but instead looked up in time to see Maeve walking towards them, threading her way through the early morning spacers who were headed to their ships after a night at the dock. Several minutes later, the freighter captain halted before the pair a nodded a brief but polite greeting.*
I assume you have had time to speak with your crew, Captain Fajra? *Aruna questioned.*
*Maeve nodded. But before she could speak, Aruna spoke.* Before you tell me what your decision, I would like to introduce you to a friend of mine who is also interested in taking a job as an escort. His name is Marcastus Olivren.
*Maeve gazed at the man for several moments, her mind swiftly and efficiently cataloguing everything she saw that would be a pro or con to hiring him.* If I hire you, how much do you expect to get paid? *she questioned him.*
*Aruna watched in silence, feeling confident that Maeve would walk away with three new escorts.*

That, I believe depends on the length of the term I would serve with you. *The mercenary closed his eyes briefly, weighing sums and adding costs. When he opened his eyes, they were instantly focused upon Maeve and were regarding her consideringly* What do you consider to be a reasonable payment?

How long a term would you be interested in serving with me? *Maeve questioned as she pondered an answer to his question on what a reasonable payment would be.*

How long would you be willing to contract me for? *he asked right back. If there was long-time work involved, he would be willing to settle for a lower price just because he had a guaranteed job for quite a while.*

It would likely be long-term, though it may depend on my current employer. If I succeed in fulfilling his contract and am able to be working without having to go through him, it will most certainly be long-term. *Maeve answered.* Does 10 Ducat a month sound reasonable to you?

*For an answer, he bowed once to her and extended a hand.* You have just hired yourself a mercenary. That is a quite reasonable price indeed.

*Maeve took Marc's extended hand and shook it. She gestured for him, Aruna, and Crash to follow her into her ship.* My crew, small as it is, will certainly be interested in meeting you all. *she told them.*
*Aruna and Crash followed Maeve into the ship's interior.*

*Marc followed Aruna and Crash into the ship, glancing around him with a curiousity he couldn't fully conceal.*

*Rowena was in the cockpit, fiddling with the components of one of the sensors. Hearing footsteps, she said,* I think I should have this fixed up as good as new by the time you're ready to leave.
*Maeve nodded.* That's good. We have some new crew.
*Rowena looked up, realizing with a faint blush that Maeve was not alone.*
This is my engineer and all-around fix-it genius. *Maeve said with a smile, nodding to Rowena.*
My name's Rowena, but you can call me Rona. *the girl added. She had a petite figure, with brown hair that went just below her shoulder, offset by a streak of white. Her eyes were a light brown color, and could be serious or mirthful, depending on the situation.*
*Aruna bowed slightly to Rowena, and Crash followed her lead.*
A pleasure to meet you, Rowena. *Aruna said sincerely.*
Where's Tam? *Maeve questioned Rona.*
Right here, Boss. *Tam answered, stepping into the cockpit.*
This is my hot-shot pilot, weapon's expert and assistant engineer. *Maeve said, gesturing to the young man.*
Tamgwyn Hirael is my name. *he introduced himself. He grinned, adding,* You can call me Tam if you find my full name too much of a mouthful.
A pleasure to meet you, Tamgwyn. *Aruna said with a smile.* I am Arunas'ecura and my companion is Naia Chenowyth.
You can call me Crash. *the girl added.*
