Once the elevator door closed with a sealing hiss of air, Zasz tapped the button below the current marked floor. A low hum of the gravity generators activated to signify that they were indeed moving. Turning in the cramped box to face Alex, he'd take her chin as gently as possible with just two thick armored fingers. There eyes would be intended to meet, as Zasz felt out of all that he had said thus far, this in particular held more importance than all else. Jallee could throw a tantrum all till she went blue in the her hot red face, his vessel could all but fall apart at the seams, but he had his own set or morals, his own rules to follow, and he put them on a pedestal above all else. "Alex Winger." He'd start, as sincere a look that someone with a grizzled visage like his could muster. "There are only a handful of reasons you will ever have to apologize to me, and speaking your mind is certainly not one of them. The company I keep is selective at best, I prefer those that are not afraid to be who they are." Zasz released her from as soon as he finished, of course it was an aggressive move to hold her like that, but it wouldn't do to have Alex tiptoe around him like he was going to strike her down at the wrong phrase. The woman was stuck on his ship one way or another, and Zasz was no killer. If she had problems with his "collection", whenever that fact came to light, then matters might come to a serious point.
The dull buzz came to a halt and sliding doors squeaked open, which Zasz didn't hesitate in walking through. The slaver wouldn't look at her this time around, instead inspecting the lone apparatus visible in the room as the overhead florescent bulbs flickered on. "Let's see." Zasz ran a hand along what appeared to be a harness of some sort that would fit someone of his modified stature. Suspended above was a device as well, though it was ovular in design and lacked any details, being completely smooth and reflective on the surface. "No, I never told her she was going home, and I probably would have if I thought she was going to react in such a way. The contract I have for Jallee Russlion is fairly straightforward, there are not any sub guidelines I have to abide by other than keeping her away from her homeworld until I receive an encoded message from their capital, then dropping her back off. The list of various jobs I take on a regular basis would be a pain in my ass to go through here and now. This is a retrofitted prison craft, of course I have cells to toss people into if I have a need to. I came upon the Diem Vuong by chance and saw an opportunity at a decent salvage." Making a full rotation of the strange looking mechanism he'd be wearing a wry grin on those features at his long winded exposition. He was having fun answering all of the questions, or attempting to anyways, having kept a count on his digits which quickly fell to his side. "I may be vague or leave out key information when rambling off to others, but I try to remain as honest as possible. It's one of my quirks."
Alex was a special...whatever she was, not entirely certain on her race, not that he had asked to begin with, or that it mattered to him. Clutching numerous pieces of tech he'd given her as though if they were dropped they'd be beyond recovery, all while barely wrapped in those clean white sheets. Whether she had it too high or low, she refused to seem comfortable, he didn't have to peer at her with his bionic eye to see that fact. "You know, if it's a problem to try and keep sensible you don't have to bother with it. Have you seen my mug? A few battle scars are hardly anything to be ashamed of." Zasz gave a shrug of those massive plated shoulders, before stepping over to a control console attached to one of the walls opposite the center. Tapping in a selection of commands, the panels lining the square facility tilted outward and reversed their position to exhibit various treasures that were once hidden away. "Or if it has to do with not wanting to be flashing your bits about. I mean, I don't have any clothes on technically either." A chuckle, rare for him to laugh at even his own jokes as he eyed a newly revealed drawer to his right. Scrounging about inside Zasz dug out an electromagnetic spanner. It had been a while since he'd actually been down here; how much of this equipment was in functional shape was up for question. Servicing his personal gear happened once in a blue moon, and he never bothered with taking his exosuit off these days. "I don't know exactly what you might require, nor would I be able to tell you where to find it, so feel free to look around and take whatever you want."
Zasz had left the survivor of the Diem Vuong standing at the entrance like a deer in the headlights, but it without too much of a hustle he resumed his post in towering next to her, placing what was essentially a fancy wrench into the helmet she clutched as though it were a bucket. "The sleeping beauty will be out for a while yet, and I'm going to be taking precautions to quash any further issues we might have with her." Once in the elevator and facing Alex, he'd give her one last set of instructions. "Take whatever you can carry, and don't rush yourself. When you're ready, either take the lift back up to the common level, or join me two floors down the in the greenhouse." Pressing the designated button for the said location sent him downwards to his destination. Zasz had spoken a fair bit, and surely there would be more questions to come from her lips, but they would have to wait. Jallee would not be a problem once he retrieved her 'medicine', how long he had until she stirred though, he could only guess at. The Ifrit had already defied his expectations once, and he'd prefer to have it remain as such.
The greenhouse within the Greenhouse.
Even more so than any other place on the vessel, this garden floating across the stars had its climate control settings down to a science. Like the containment section, this area stretched a ways down in one lengthy corridor. With semi-transparent structures dotting the path, each were their own biome to grow specific breeds of plant life. Zasz was proud of the work he'd put into this endeavor; he'd come strides from when he first had the inkling of such a project, all because of the the nymph in her flower shop years ago. Now he had around a dozen or so thriving ecosystems, having collected exquisite flora and fungi from regions all over the galaxy. What he had come down here for, was a unique variety that he'd regret clipping for a reason such as Jallee. The third tent of sorts on the left would be where he entered, passing through a decontamination unit and then being exposed to the glare of ultraviolet of lights. Inside was a single circular planter with various flowering stalks of exotic colors. Each needed space of their own to flourish, all in all there were about six varieties, but Zasz would have to be reading from one of his journals to pronounce most of their names. The Apollo Lilly, the aforementioned orchid that he now had an immediate use for. In between his precise fingers, Zasz snapped off one stalk branching from the main stem to take a singular flowing bud. It alone was all that would be called for, and slipping the delicate package into a now open container along his waist did he make way to return to the common room, or run into Alex, whichever came first.
The slaver was not one to dilly dally, at least not for very long.
