Summary: Rikku and Yoorvin's second in command get into a little bargaining cat-fight.
A/N: So, this really should be added to the end of the last chapter but... sigh yeah. I didn't have it finished
and I feel really bad about not having a full chapter and then again, I think i need some more interludes between them. So... here
we are the first interlude that job related. Oops. Apologies on the length.
Rikku handed the paper to Yoorvin and took the opportunity to look him over and decided he was typical for an Al Bhed. He didn't stand out and he didn't blend in, ruggedly handsome looks, bald and enough muscles to make her think he did manual labor, worked out or played blitzball. She nestled against Gippal and stroked his cheekbone. Yoorvin (and they must find out his real name) couldn't compare to her man.
Yoorvin quickly read the paper. "You know hovers."
Gippal ran a finger along Rikku's thigh. "Hovers, ships, soldier machines, canons, guns, anything mechanical that can turn a bit of gil."
Yoorvin passed the paper to a female associate. She glanced at it. "Ten million gil is not worth the aggravation." She folded it and set it on the table. "Eleven million gil would make me consider it."
Rikku met her eyes and wondered what it was about criminals that attracted beautiful women. The woman wasn't as beautiful as Darling, she wasn't as polished or perfect. She had a more dangerous beauty to her. She glared at Rikku, her eyes sparking, cheeks and jaw taut with badly hidden emotion. Rikku ran a finger along Gippal's neck. "Ten million gil is more than fair." Rikku countered.
She tossed her hair and leaned back into her chair. "Nothing about business is ever fair, little girl." She crossed her legs.
Rikku narrowed her eyes. It had probably been a mistake to give a starting price. "Woman enough for your man. Ten two."
Yoorvin and Gippal shared an amused look.
"Yes, mine. Ten seven and a half."
"Wouldn't want him anyways. Ten five."
"Good." She nodded.
Yoorvin interrupted. "Now that the ladies have settled price, we party."
Rikku slid her gaze away from the woman and smiled up at Gippal. He smirked back at her. "Just the way we like things."
