writeworld prompt from over on Tumblr that suited my bounty hunter and his Imp agent brother well. [Tumblr post]
Seran paused, blinking at the still form sprawled not too far from the entryway to his ship. Gold eyes blinked once, then again as he peered over to his workbench where his brother was contentedly tinkering away. “Lathi?”
“Hmm?” He recognized that hum, the ‘I’m busy right now, is it really that important?’ sound, but right now he rather thought it was.
“Lathi, there’s a dead body on my floor.”
“Hn, oh. That.” His brother glanced back over his shoulder. “I thought I’d moved it far enough, can you not get your cargo in?”
The bounty hunter blinked slowly at him. “Lathi. Dead body. In the ship. On the floor.”
Amber eyes blinked back at him. “I was a little busy to haul it out, and you don’t have an incinerator - which is ridiculous, in my opinion. You generally have clothing that belongs there.”
Okay. Apparently there was a story his brother wasn’t too quick to share. “Lathi, why is he dead?”
“I put an electrodart through his eye.”
Seran couldn’t quite hold back a cringe. That explained the faint smell, and the lack of mess. “Riiiight. And… why?”
Lathi’s expression darkened slightly. “Difference of opinion on how to handle contractual obligations.”
Contract. The man came for him, then. And big brother apparently didn’t like it, or at least his plans on what to do about it.
Seran chuckled softly, crossing his arms. “Well. Far be it from me to question your methods. But why’s he here?”
“Ah. I thought you might want to look and see if there’s a bounty on him you might find convenient.” A look of understanding passed between them, a little smirk of satisfaction on the elder Zabrak’s face. “Do as you will. I have a project to finish.”
“Course you do.” Smirking back, Seran-vin stepped around to put up his things. An unexpected catch was always a nice surprise, after all, and yeah, maybe his brother showed his affection a little differently than most people but… his family was always a little different.
Besides, he would have done the same thing.
