ARI
“How difficult is it to find one specific human female?”
Distance distorted the voice over the comm, but Ari’s wings bristled at
the tone. The Nakkoni did not state his location, and Ari did not ask. Reazus
Prime had its social conventions, much like any other place.
“Very, in my experience,” Ari replied dryly. “Was there a particular
reason for your call, or was general harassment your motivation?”
A mountain of priceless treasure was great in theory. The trouble was
turning the priceless treasure into something more practical.
Spendable would be ideal, but at this point, Ari would be willing to
settle for disposable.
The human female Miriam tricked him. When it came time for the crew
to divvy up the spoils, she sold him a pretty story about being a hero and
convinced him to accept her portion of Mer’len’s legendary, priceless
collection in exchange for a promise to find a friend and free her. While he
liked the idea of shaping himself into a hero, he had not been naive when it
came to the difficulties in finding one human female. Humans were a
valuable commodity, and people noticed. He’d put out feelers and gathered
the necessary information. Simple.
Except he underestimated the burden of having a ship filled with
treasure. Filled. Not a few pieces tastefully decorating the place, or even a
prized collection on display, but every surface held an artifact of cultural
significance or made from precious material. Crates were stacked floor to
ceiling in the cargo hold, making it impossible to actually use the hold for
those pesky materials required to prevent starvation or death by suffocation.
Terribly inconsiderate, all things considered.
Frankly, the amount of wealth Ari found himself holding was rude.
And he couldn’t spend one single credit.
Static buzzed over the comm channel again. “I do not like your tone,
Khargal,” Perrigaul said.
“If you want an apology, you’ll have to come here and get it for
yourself.”
Ari knew Perrigaul would not. While the two had a working
relationship, it could not in any way be considered cordial. Perrigaul would
tear the wings from Ari’s back as quickly as Ari would shove the red lizard
off a cliff. Plus, Perrigaul would desire to keep Ari as far away from his
mate as possible. With good reason: Ari was better-looking and far more
pleasant company. The Nakkoni was rough around the edges, lacked any
sort of civility, and communicated through grunts.
Too bad Ari genuinely liked the male’s mate, Miriam. Of course, he had
to question his judgment as Miriam was the one who tricked him into this
situation.
The trouble with having an obscenely large fortune was that as the
numbers grew larger, they became theoretical. Impractical to hold and
impossible to turn into anything useful.
