Sooo...Meet-y

[cityship]

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their number. After the recent revelation, many of them were even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Brainiac 5 and Sensor were set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings.

There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.

It didn't matter that the clothing was not from her world, or that she had no idea who the man was. Mara had been trained from childhood to identify people that were used to having the universe on a string, and this man appeared to be one of those.

Bright eyes followed him as he worked through the crowd. If nothing else, he was accomplishing his goal to be seen.

[imperious_lex]

Eventually those bright eyes met Lex's own dark but curious gaze. If she was going to watch him, he'd watch her for a bit in return, after all.

[hunters-luck.livejournal.com]

Only fair, of course. Mara doesn't bother to look away, but there's a bit of a smirk to her expression now. She's curious what he'll do. We'll he keep wandering through the crowd of new arrivals, or will he follow up on his curiosity?

[imperious_lex]

Oh, he followed up, of course. That smirk of hers was just far too inviting. So, without breaking this staring contest they had going, he moved through the crowd, making his way to her.

[hunters-luck.livejournal.com]

She's had staring contests with some very frightening souls. This man hasn't yet made her even consider looking away. Poise, confidence, he clearly had those in spades.

"Something I can help you with?"

[imperious_lex]

"You must have read my mind, I was about to ask you the same thing."

He held out his hand for her. "Lex Luthor," he introduced himself.

[hunters-luck.livejournal.com]

"Not this time, anyway. Mara Jade." Her tone was dry, leaving the man to guess as to whether or not she was joking. She reached out to take his hand, grip firm and slightly rough from hours spent with a blaster or light saber.

[imperious_lex]

"Then perhaps some time in the future," he offered. He may have possibly been asking her out right then.

[hunters-luck.livejournal.com]

"Maybe. Depends." Of course, people didn't live long in her world if they gave information away for free. Luthur probably had a strong enough mind to keep her from easily manipulating him, mind tricks were not her forte.

[imperious_lex]

If there's one thing Lex can do, it's keep secrets.

"On?"

[hunters-luck.livejournal.com]

"Profit margins, mostly."

Which means he has a reason, which only serves to make her more curious.

[imperious_lex]

But poking around his secrets could be dangerous.

"Mine, or yours?" Because for Lex, profit margins wouldn't be a problem.

[hunters-luck.livejournal.com]

Probably for the best she's not motivated enough to do anything rash. No need to make enemies that could actually come back to bite her.

"Sorry, but my interests are pretty much exclusively on my own profits."

[imperious_lex]

Smart move.

"So are mine." As they always are. "What sort of business are you in?"

[hunters-luck.livejournal.com]

"Shipping, mostly." Which was technically correct. Minor detail that her cargo tended to be illegal, and most of her ships carried false identification and a lot of armor. "What about you?"

[imperious_lex]

"Acquisitions, mostly." Lex knew how to get a hold of just about anything. "And solutions." But solving problems was his stock and trade.
