Nothing? Not likely. Sascha didn't think answering that offer would have said much about her intelligence so she clenched her jaw. She couldn't catch Kreska's eye one way or the other, and felt like regardless of the strange interaction between the two non-humans, she was treading on rather thin wires. Hopefully Fate was out there, shoring them up like usual.
"Yeah, Supay's gallant like that." They were nearer the trash collection down here. Maybe he got magnetized over to the junk heap. One can always dream. Her lips tilted upward a bit.
Now would have been an excellent time to give her a sign Fate had a way out--and not by making a bunch of useless noise. Lame, if that had been his intent. Now, the whole ceiling coming up and a ladder shooting down from the sky--that would have been epic. Sascha could've gone for some 'epic' right about now. Or at any point that week. Was he slipping? He'd definitely sounded a little frightened himself before she'd ghosted her wristcomp.
Yep. Should not have offered 'service'. Woefully underprepared to deal with a giant snake whose emphasis on the words 'service me' sounded far more involved than Sascha was inclined to provide, she half-yelped, half-protested as she was dragged forward. It was lucky ey made eir intentions clear before Sass really embarrassed herself by preemptively turning down a sexual advance that didn't even exist. And dealing with the consequences of saying no.
She swallowed hard, anything to quell the feeling of dread. Out Fate? "No" in any sense would be the wrong word when one was held in the embrace of a creature with poisonous claws and ambitious tentacles. "You sure there's someone there? It looks a little quiet if you ask me." Sascha stared at her reflection and willed him to do anything but answer as she put on a sappy grin and did a little fingerwave. "Hey there! Anybody home? Nope," she said as she dropped her hand. "Doesn't look like it! Since you were so kind to take care of those strangers out there following me about, I wouldn't dare impose on you further...I can escort myself home."
Wherever the next hideyhole might be.

His droid was almost to the door and would've made another foolish distraction when Fate's tablet view shifted drastically.
Her eyes were huge, wide as a plant-eating earth creature hunted by a hungry, massive cat such as the one tattooed on his hand. Emerald-fractured and full of fear. Damn it, he hadn't seen that look since...
...and it probably had everything to do with how much very sharp claws could remind one of needles.
>>I suppose we've all learned
>>a very valuable lesson about asking permission
>>Don't you think?
>>We should all go our merry way, yes?
A flicker in Sascha's eyes. Disappointment? Or was that her "idiot!" look? He always got those confused. What, so she was comfortable being snuggled up nice and cozy? It wasn't like he'd offered her rum as compensation or anything.
This was, of course, his fault. For making a mess of things. Or wait, no. Maybe it was Kreska's. It could be. Just this once. He let out a huff of annoyance. "You know, if you'd told me sooner there was a Krotazi on the lease, I might have come up with an alternate solution to your impending starvation and hydration woes." Not that she could hear him.
Fate shook his head and toggled the audio on Kreska's earpiece so it amplified the microphone and he'd have easier access to what was being said in the overbright sanctuary.
>>Sorry about the ceiling.
>>It seemed prudent.
>>Since the orc and the top hats weren't working anymore.
>>And if I'd been hungry enough to eat the opposition
>>I probably would've settled for the burger.
Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
