Arc nodded and grinned as she copied down the commcode and logged it away. "Uh-huh, I know how it is. You take it easy, Nine.". Waving him off, the human's smile faded as she watched him go, still a little surprised that one of her old friends might be wrapped up in this drek. The frown increased as Yelena's message hit her with the full gravity of its contents, her cheeks growing red at the revelation. Distracting herself with a quick pull of her drink she fired off one hasty and final reply for the night.
@Yelena, you ARE coming home alive and in one piece after this, and I'm accepting nothing less. You owe me a chat at LEAST. Be safe and send me a pub comm when you're free. I'll make sure you got a ride.
Satisfied with that, the little human returned her attention to the party, giving off the effect she was having a good time. She brushed the feed of her bug on Yelena to the far peripherals...that much activity shouldn't have unwanted observation...the night wore on, and by 23:00, Arc had lost count of how many dances, toasts, and retellings of the "glorious battle" had occurred, but by then her bug had sent her an out of range notification, indicating Yelena had departed for her after party with Bella..and it was time for her to depart.
"Aight slitches, it's been real. Y'all don't stop being awesome. PEACE!". Blowing a kiss and a finger to the crowd, Arc departed from the Stardust with a bit of a buzz going, hoopping into her car and letting the autopilot take the wheel. During the drive, though, all the mirth and joy faded, the human a whirl of emotions and concerns as she processed everything that happened, what is going to happen, and what of her life is affected by it...which is a good deal. Marco is drek knows where now with that demoguy reporter whatever, and who knows if he will be seen again on this job chain. Yelena is way in the deep end with the drugs and stuff, but Arc knows she is a survivor like her, and that it would take a fragging ton to off her. Plus what she told me.... And then there was her life, her home, business, and...
It was uncertain if she intended for it or not, but when the car pulled to a stop Arc found Herself not at her garage, but rather at the apartment complex where Jaime lived. ...yeah. this needs to go down.. It was late...past 11, almost midnight even, but she hoped he would be home and awake. Vruk's share a bond sacred to the orks... steadying her breath, Arc steeled herself as she stepped out of the car in her nice dress and makeup, grabbing one of her bags from the trunk and making her way to his door. She couldn't remember if he had a datajack on him, but it was a safe bet. No commlinks, no bugs...a direct connection and she could tell him what he needed to know about Arc...what she got into, what it means.
" No secrets..." she whispered as she got to his door, her right cyberarm lifting up and gently knocking twice...
