Zoe 'verse 3. The Rock. Delivery.

"Are you sure bringing the ship is a good idea?"

Blitzwing was frowning from where he sat, in front of the control panels, arms crossed. The controls and lights moved and flashed on their own, without any help from the unhappy triple-changer. He didn't need to help.

"It's the only way to bring that much metal at one time," Swindle's voice came from the com speaker, "Trust me on this..."

"If I had a cred for all the times you said 'trust me'..." Blitzwing said, though now there was a smirk on his face, as the ship started to head toward the island they knew as The Rock.

"I know, I know.." Swindle replied, his own unseen smirk evident in his voice, "Now do something productive and help me find a good place to land this thing..."

"But that's not important now." She claps her hands together, and then reaches into her belt pouch to offer him a finely polished ring of horn that would fit around a young human child's wrist, and also a small trinket carved from the pearly inside of an oyster shell. "Here are some gifts for your children."

Swindle's eyes went wide, "Oh, that's too kind," he said, taking the two gifts, "Silver and Nanny will love them."

Dalla hums and smiles. "I noticed that Silver likes to chew on things, so I thought the teething ring would be good. And most little girls love pretty things."

Then she looks at the men still waiting for orders and gives a bit of a sigh. "Is there anything else we need to talk about, Swindle? I fear my work is calling me back."

"Ah, no..." Swindle says, "Just need to get the gold off my ship, and I have some deliveries for the Nroo as well."

"Just tell my idiots what to do." She grins a bit again.

Swindle nods, and has Dalla's me get the four metal crates out of the ship.

The job is done quickly, though one guy decides to clown around and drops his corner of a crate on his foot. For his pains he gets scruffed, growled at, and shaken vigorously.

"At least those aren't fragile..." Swindle says with a slight wince.

"Thankfully." Dalla punts the wounded man toward the stairs.

Swindle then grins, "You mind if I leave my ship here while I do my other delivery?"

"Not at all. Will it be alright in the rain?" She nods toward a wall of black clouds that are coming in from the south.

"It would probably be alright in the ocean," Swindle says with a smirk, "And thank you."
