Neph had been on Osiris for what? Far more than a handful of cycles at this point. They were pleased to know that their buiness reputation had already spread out to this corner of the galaxy. And so plenty of work and even more opportunity to experience everything. Exotic compounds, new species and absolutely lovely strands of cosmic radiation.
This particular job should be simplicity itself. The message came in recently. A particualrly foolish meatsack came into possession of some unfortunate secrets, then tried to leverage his way out of trouble. Neph scraped some of their plates together in a derisive honk. Thank goodness for all the hapless idiots in the universe. Plundering their brains paid the bills quite nicely. Besides which, one should love their work.
Rounding a corner, Neph was surprised and unsettled to see the door to the "safe house" swinging freely. Hooves clopping softly, they made their way through the open door to see this waif standing over Gilkirst with a knife jammed clean through his spine. Neph had heard about this one. So pretty as to nearly look as atificial as Neph. A penchant for being in the wrong place at the right time and a bimbo manner that strained belief.
"Stunned anger: You scooped me, doll person. Had you waited a few more paltry seconds", Neph's monotone cuts off into a frustrated shriek of white noise, "Despondent: I've never failed a job before. And now that foolish meatsack is ruined"
It's not as though Neph ever wanted a direct confrontation. Their size and composition meant that their only two options were surprise and lulling opponents into a false sense of security. Hunching their shoulders to reduce their frame and affecting a morose trot, Neph slowly turns to leave. Discretion is the better part of valour and better to not be stabbed by a potential rival. Other jobs will come. Bodily integrity is forever.
