It was about that time of the night and Zanji was asking for the bill so that he may pay his dues. Ro bowed a few degrees and handed him a folded note. What was inside the note was the bill for the work. It would be a modest price, as she had taken a fancy to the young man before her, and would not take advantage of his generous nature. Also there was the fact that she had been allowed to use all of his own materials and facilities as well, which limited her costs to the few things that she brought herself and her own time. She had enjoyed herself, you could say that the conversation had been on fire. "In there is my price, as well as an address as to where to send the funds." She would not take his money tonight, it seemed a little crude to worry about beli given the interaction that they had partaken in today.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer to your generous offer of joining you crew.. I fear that I have much too much tying me down here." This is where she would say goodbye to Zanji, she did not want to make commitments that she couldn't honour, that would go against her very grain as a business woman. "If we don't meet again, I would like to say that it was a pleasure to meet you Mr Ryotoji. I am sure that we can work together again sometime in the future." With that last line, she would smile and leave.

Her feet dragged while she left the ship, possibly hinting at a subconscious want to stay. She would have to be careful from now on, she had almost made herself a friend.
