The petite woman gazed up at her, affection and determination on her face.
She returned the gaze, grey-green eyes meeting green as the other woman took her hand before sinking slowly to one knee.
She watched her curiously, puzzlement spreading across her face until the petite red head spoke.
"Halcy, would you marry me?" A smile flitting across her face.
She took a deep breath, a thousand thoughts flooding her mind, unsure what to do, but when she spoke it was two simple words.
"Yes Eva," she said, surprising herself, yet nodding at how right it felt.
How happy she suddenly felt.

The trigger moved back slowly, prosthetic fingers pulling on it, urging it past the point of no return. The hammer fell, slamming into the back of the gun.
A dry click filled the room.
"What are you doing?" She asked, walking up to Ulaya, a frown on her face.
"Practisin'" the woman replied, a surly look on her face.
"If you shoot holes in my walls again I shall be upset."
"'Smy room," Ulaya grumbled, taking the gun apart piece by piece, arranging the parts in a neat contrast to her cluttered quarters.
"In my venue!"
"Yer renting the space..."
"That is entirely beside the point..." She replied, moving to stand in front of the head of her security. "Also, can you stop getting the maids drunk?"
Ulaya scowled up at her.
"Din't hear 'em complainin' none..."
"You're hearing me complaining. One was so hungover she threw up in a guests' bathroom."
With a little sigh she looked for a clear space to sit, perching on the edge of a chair.
"You're bored, aren't you."
Ulaya shook her head, glaring at the disassembled weapon.
"I'm fine...
"No you're not, you need to get out. Go and use what I've shown you..."
"But, security..." The woman interjected, an odd look on her face.
"I think they're trained enough by now. Go. Tell me what's out there."
"Sure?"
She rolled her eyes in answer.
The pistol seemed almost to reassemble itself, snapping together, a delighted grin on Ulaya's face as the tall Caldari grabs a bag, running for the door.
"I expect you to come back!" She shouts after her.

I was pretty sure I hadn't drunk that much. Actually something of a relief.

Seriously, though. These just keep getting better.

^^ yes I agree

The door to the shop creaked as she pushed it open, edging her way into a space lined with overfilled shelves. Careful not to snag her dress she made her way to the far end, clearing her throat to try and get the attention of the waif-like sebiestor behind the counter.
Eyes wide, the girl looked up, bouncing to her feet.
"Oh, hi, hey, welcome, can I help you?" The girl blurted out.
She took a slow look around the cramped shelves, noting the various drone parts.
"You work a lot with drones?" She asked, deciding to start with the obvious.
"ah huh, yeah, I tinker, work with some stuff, improve 'em if I can."
"Surprising. You have qualifications?"
"Surprising? Oh yeah, cos we're here and I do drones and I'm not Gallente
right?" Words seemed to spill from the girls lips in a stream each time she spoke.
"Mh, yes, right." She blinked a little. "I'm looking for someone to work for me. So far all of your contemporaries have declined."
"Contemporaries? Oh, other drones people right? They declined, why would they do that? You're offering pay right?"
Again she blinked, pausing as if to let the flow of words register.
"Of course, over the odds in fact. I'm a capsuleer."
The girl flinches back at the words, looking around nervously.
"Uh...c-capsuleer?"
She sighs, a long suffering sound.
"We're not all monsters...well, some of us aren't anyway..."
The girl seems uncertain, glancing nervously around her shop and she steps back, giving a little more space.
"Will you tell me your name?" She asks, her tone soothing and patient.
"S-Sascha Karanik'" the girl stammers out.
"All I'm offering is an opportunity, you'll have to accompany me in space but I'll do whatever I can to ensure your safety and fund any projects you wish."
She watches the girls face as it changes, fear and desire warring, dreams awakening in her eyes.
"Anything?"
"Anything," she says, a little smile spreading across her lips.
"So..why would you need me?"
"I try to automate my craft as much as possible...I need someone able to tend that automation. Would you be willing."
The girl seems hesitant, nervous but nods regardless.
She offers her hand.
