"Speak," Thai'lle growled in a low voice as she approached the creature and knelt down until she was at eye level with its fleshy orifice.
"I… I don't know much… all I know is that the captain got a message… something about an escaped criminal in the Lo'vrean Galaxy," the creature stammered nervously.
"The message… it said not to engage… but the captain… he… he got greedy… he wanted to take the bounty… I told him…"
"I TOLD HIM IT WAS A MISTAKE!"
The creature screamed out the last part of its confession as the multiple pale arms sprouting out of its back wriggled and squirmed violently.
"Yes… your captain was a very stupid man," Thai'lle whispered softly as she leaned in closer to the creature and lightly bit the side of its flesh.
Her fangs sank into the creature's skin no deeper than one centimetre but that was more than enough to finish the job.
