“And this is the commercial district. Where everyone works hard, and don’t over-promise what they could deliver then turn around and make more promises they can’t keep just to meet the unrealistic expectations you set for your first clients.” Jezem bluntly stated to the andorian beside him. “Where people aren’t in massive debt and pay their dues to those who govern their lives and are happy and healthy. Just look at all the happy and healthy people.”

Shivan hated this place, he hated all the stupid shops, with the stupid, happy people, who paid their stupid money to people who didn’t want to kill them painfully. He hated their perfect little (or not so little) houses too. He hated all of it. “At least in our line of work, you don’t have to put up with all that ridiculous pretense. People tell you how it is.”

The two walked at a sedate pace through the district, just an orion and an adorian dressed in loin cloths and chest wraps. The two stood out like sore thumbs but the gaze of everyone they passed skimmed across them before turning away with a blush, a frown, an excited look in their eyes. All without really seeing the people under the clothes. Just how Jezem liked it. He even hummed a merry tune, “Yup, you’d have to be a real moron to neglect your dues to the people that govern your life.”

Shivan got a few more glances, being an Andorian dressed as scantily as an Orion. But they weren’t looking at his face, nor gathering any important details about him, so he supposed Jezem was right (AGAIN, infuriatingly). “It wasn’t a choice!” Shivan whisper hissed at Jezem angrily. “When are you going to let that go?”
