Grilka curled a talon to reach beneath Sascha's chin and tilt her face higher, darting tongues toward her as ey admired her expression. Ey did so love it when people lost control of themselves. Even if ey could not, this time, take credit for it. Another hand tossed away the spent cigarette butt. "What pretty eyes," ey noted, before letting her go to pat the top of her head again. "Yes," ey agreed, "owning people is bad."
Legally, anyway.
In a purely practical sense, Grilka owned lots of people.
It was a fine distinction, but an important one.
"Hmm – tricky business. Everything is equal in death. I try not to ask for dangerous favors from delicate things, pretty things. I have bigger friends for those. Someone dies alone, karma balances. Someone failed to keep them safe – that is another imbalance altogether. Yes? Nothing for me to address, necessarily… but I am not corporate." As she relaxed against em, tendrils moved in subtle ways to rub against her back.
Like a massage chair. If a massage chair was sentient. Which, to be fair: they sometimes were.
Ey brushed hair away from her temple, head cocked to the side to consider her. "Very smart," Grilka praised. "Maybe too smart for your own good, I think." More careful coaxing might be required to get the information ey wanted – that ey assumed ey wanted, not knowing yet what it was. "Were you trying to prove it?" ey wondered. "Or were they only very stupid?"
Kreska made a face at her tablet.

Should she mention that she could hear him? She wasn't convinced he knew that he was talking. She looked back up from the screen at Grilka and Sascha, and then her frown was for the Krotazi.
"Hey!" she said immediately, pointing at em. "Donchu fuckin' dare." Grilka paused, having been halfway to lighting up a stick of memti. Ey considered her request, and decided that the best response was to hiss at her, teeth bared. Kreska was not deterred. "She might need t'move, don' need ya fuckin' people up accidental."
There would be nothing accidental about it, but Kreska knew better than to say that outright.
"But she just got comfortable," Grilka countered, lengths of tail and tendril moving over one another in a way that Kreska recognized as possessive. Even if ey wasn't trying to hold onto her, the desire was clearly there.
And then came the voice at the door.
Kreska looked from the door to her tablet, raking good fingers through gravity-defying curls. Bring her to the door? Bring her to him? How? It wasn't like she could carry her. Maybe the droid could. Get girl to droid. Doable. If that was what he was asking. As was often the case, she wanted clarification and didn't want to ask for it.

"Somebody wants'er," Kreska said to Grilka, and this time ey did not stop her when she slid down from her perch on eir tail. She nearly shoved her tablet into her back pocket before recalling the camera, and so she set it aside instead. Just long enough that she could fix her shirt, pulling the hem down to cover her middle and actually putting her arms through the sleeves. The neck was stretched out, but it hadn't been in particularly good shape before, so. She grabbed her tablet again, and her jacket on the way to the door.
"I don't see why that matters," Grilka said, "if she doesn't want to go." A hand tugged idly at one of the sleeves crudely tied around Sascha, not quite paying attention to her. "She'll need to change, first, anyway."
Opening the door from the inside was actually much easier for Kreska than it was from the outside. Even if she had to throw her jacket on and shove her tablet in a pocket so her good hand was free, had to jump to reach the latching mechanism.
She cracked the door just enough to look outside.
