She leaned against the wall as Rocket dug through the laundry, arms crossed over her chest. She was trying not to look like she was throwing an internal tantrum, and she was failing miserably. Her mouth was almost a pout, if it hadn't also been almost a scowl.
fuck 'em! fuck 'em. fuck them, anyhow.
There was a little spark of rage blossoming in her chest, and she tended it as a preferable alternative to whatever else she might have felt. She knew what to do with rage. Rage was manageable, familiar, comfortable.
"'S'fine," she lied, taking her clothes. "They're randos, who cares." She shrugged. "I watcher dog when she's bangin' m'friend. Ain' m'business what'll she gets up to when she ain't losin't racers." Kreska held her clothes against her chest, too self-conscious now for any absent-minded stripping. "Ain' like'm friendly wi'th'Alliance, neither," she added. "Grilka'n't friends'th snitches." She frowned as she realized there was a flaw with this statement. "Yeh, ey is," she corrected with disgust. "But I don'—'ey." Her brow furrowed.
"She's datin' Ixaaliot," she said, overpronouncing his name. "Snake's already in'erested in 'er cuzza't. She's got secrets, I ain' th'one t'worry 'bout. Her line o' work an' a nosy snake, ey's not gonna be lookin' t'me if ey wants t'poke at her. Yanno?" Kreska had sidled easily from 'indignant' to 'concerned'. Ixaaliot had enough trouble with his love life when they didn't seem to have secret shady ships sitting around. The less she knew about that, the better, she was sure. What she didn't know might hurt her, but at least it wouldn't be her own fault.
