"Poor creatures," Tivan said vaguely.
He sighed.
"I think I will take the planet after all."

"Very humanitarian. May it serve your purposes well, Mr. Tivan, you have the sensibilities of an artist."
(The effort of keeping a straight face once again made him think of his sister, and what she was likely up to. Hopefully she was enjoying herself, instead of catching a chill on the surface of a doomed planet and making condescending small talk with one of mother's exes.)

"Can you isolate my new lovelies in some corner that can be marked for the harvesters to avoid? Spare me a little trouble, hmm?"

"Certainly. Once the harvest has passed, you may inspect them at your leisure."

Looking out over the sea -- appealing vistas, ships at dock, exotic birds calling, soft diffuse light. It looked like the waiting screen on a particularly slow-to-load FTL, and Balem abhorred it.
"It's the least we can manage, for the pleasure of doing business with you. Would you like to continue?"

"Well, " Tivan drawled, "I would hate to waste these fine gentlemen's time-"

The air rippled and breezed, and Kalique Abrasax phased in a few paces away with a smile that threatened to become a grimace.
"Please forgive me, Mr. Tivan, for my absence. A business matter of some urgency was brought to my attention-"

Kalique was the only Abrasax to habitually apologize, in Tivan's memory, and even she phrased it as a command. He chuckled.
"Of course, Lady Kalique. We are in no position to grudge you."

She smiled gratefully, and dropped it as soon as she met Balem's eyes instead.
"We need to talk as soon as this is over. Things have escalated."

Balem visibly twitched.
"Certainly, sister."

"Don't mind me, your lordship," Tivan said, a little louder than necessary. "I don't mind taking a little stroll while you two... talk."
He smiled grimly- was he capable of doing it any other way?- and took a few measured steps backward, then turned slowly on his heel to make a point.

"Kalique? Shall we?"
Whispering didn't come all that naturally to him, but he lowered his voice anyway, searching his sister's face for some kind of tipoff on exactly how dire the situation was. Tivan could run off to crossbreed specimens or whatever he liked to do these days.

She waited until Tivan, the servant girl, and his hired trappers were out of earshot, before lowering her own voice.
"I've- we've lost another one. Gantag V."
