Her father had taken exactly the longest amount of time they had agreed upon to get back to her. It was a power play. She might be his delicate flower, but she was still just a thing to him. A beautiful thing but still just a thing. Vash was patient though. She wouldn’t let his near procrastination rush her. He would be hoping she was so desperate for an answer she would agree to his terms without reading.

Eli moved into the room quietly kissing Vash on the head and giving it’s the usual loving rub, “Daughter” he said with a smile and then sat down out of site to listen to the conversation.

Vash grinned up at him. “Papa,” before turning back to the screen.

That would work on a lesser being not on her. When the comm came through she took it in her quarters and called Papa to come be with her. He wanted to know, and it would be better for him to hear it first hand. She knew he would stay to the side and just listen. Like her, he had infinite patience when needed. She left the door unlocked for him and then sat in the chair.

Vash waited a handful of minutes before answering the comm. Just long enough to make her father begin to wonder before realizing he was getting offbeat. “Father. You look satisfied today,” she greeted the screen

“I am, I have such a great plan and offer for you, I have sent it over to you just now, you look radiant and well kept my flower.” he said his eyes suggesting that he was less than honest about the deal. He motioned his hands,. “Tell me how you are?” he said trying to distract from the contract.

She pulled up the contract immediately with a few taps on the PaDD in her lap. She knew that tone. He always thought he was smarter than her, more cunning. And he was those things, but she had learned from him and from others. She began to read on the screen where it showed next to his face. She smiled brightly. “I am quite well Father. We have been busy. The twins make excellent use of my skills. It has been profitable for all of us. I enjoy the challenges they provide,” she said with a cryptic and sly grin.

His eyes narrowed, “I suspect the boone has just not made it’s way to my account yet?” he suggested, after all she was still his, but she had never failed to pay him not once, she was too smart for that. The contract was filled with clauses none of them out of the ordinary but deep with in there was one that would slip them up.

Vash smiled, “Now you know I can’t very well pay you when I haven’t been paid. I get pad twice in a galactic month. Those dates are in the lease contract you signed with the twins. Your boon will be sent in three days.” He was trying to set her off guard, make her worried she’d violated a contract.

*The Releasee shall continue remitting a residual tithe of ten percent (10%) of all earnings and acquisitions until such time as the Syndicate, through its appointed authority, issues formal Release from the Holding Contract.

Failure to comply with the required payments—whether by omission, delay, concealment, or refusal through any means—shall constitute a breach of duty to the House and to this Trustee. Upon such breach, all privileges granted under this Contract shall be immediately forfeit, and the Releasee shall revert without contest to the original terms of Binding as established under Articles 43 and 91 of this Accord.

Such reversion shall be recognized as lawful and final under the customs of the Syndicate and the rights of the Father over his Daughter as acknowledged by Orion tradition.*

Her eyes flashed, “Father, we did not agree to this during our negotiations last week.” On his screen the section was highlighted. “It is also against Orion contractual law for you to demand I continue to pay you after I have been released of your service. I can offer it and you accept, but you can not request or demand it.”

Mezerk squinted at the screen a look of shock on his face that was perfect, but he was a good actor. “Im regretful my flower, Marquis, that slimy Ferrengi is trying to get me introuble with the Syndicate ” he said rubbing he’s hands. “He will be flogged mercilessly” he said reaching down and deleting the subsection. “There no harm done” he smiled
