Eofer is very interesting. I get the impression that she struggles with not singling out the stations Yautja, just because of their species and her experience with them. Would like to know how the meeting with i’mara went and if she got a chance to spare with dak’hir, would she? How is her relationship with the tattoo boys?
Eofer would most definitely spar with any yautja that said yes and probably beat the shit out of them before being taken down as well lmao Eofer would lose if Dak'hir had his axes but hand on hand combat could be very interesting as Eofer's endurance and strength would very much surprise Dak'hir (and anyone in the room, really).
I'mara and Eofer's first meeting went like this!
Eofer had just stated the reasons she thought she wasn't fit for the Andromeda job, she didn't trust yautjas.
The Station's staff begged I'mara to change her mind, 'bring her to his side' as they said.
I'mara accepted to talk to her not because it was a challenge,but because something had clearly happened,and he wanted to know what.
Reading Eofer's file had I'mara nodding in understanding of her actions,of her defensiveness.
They met on a human ship just outside the earth,Eofer wouldn't set foot in his ship and that was final.
I'mara had been sitting when Eofer entered the study room he was in,I'mars always felt more at ease with books near him, he hoped Eofer felt the same.
"I take it you already know my name",I'mara started, removing a speck of dust from his blue cape.
"Yes,I do", Eofer said stiffly, "As you know mine".
I'mara nodded,"What I don't know,however,is why you're declining the job many of your kind would kill for".
Eofer sighed, "You read the file,or else we wouldn't be here,you know fully why".
"My people conquered space because we wanted more-,we always do. Your people go to space because they don't have anything left to lose...but you do,don't you?".
Eofer frowned at that,metal hand clenching and unclenching at her side.
"You lost the dearest person in your life, what's to lose now? What's holding you back there? Another love?"
"Too recent, I know..",I'mara trailed off, "and how do I know...Well,if its not a lover, a family member? Brothers? Sisters?"
"My sister died, years ago".
"Ah,my condolences...Well,not a brother,not a sister...but it's surely someone close,maybe not as close as when you lost your arm but close now".
Eofer couldn't help but glance at her arm at the mention.
"Your arm...Very well crafted, tenderly even, who made it?"
I'mara's face lit up with a smile, "How precious-,a niece".
"I can't show my face in some intergalactic space station when that freak is loose in the galaxy"
"If you accept this job,you become an ally, protected by every honored warrior of my species, for however long you honor our agreement-, that protection extends to your niece as well".
"I can't leave her alone-,I lost my wife and she lost...we lost my sister".
I'mara's heart tugged at that,he sighed as he thought, "She made you that arm,Eofer,she can come with you,she'd be more than welcome".
Eofer looked at I'mara, obviously not believing him.
"What better than to have your eye on her than to take her with you?...Give yourself time to heal,meet new people-,hell, arrest some criminals! What's good to us isn't always of our desire at first...And if something goes wrong,I'll take you both back to earth myself".
"I will hold you to that".
"I will accept your offer...if you promise to look after her if anything happens to me".
I'mara was surprised, "I thought you hated my species?".
"I hate one of you-, my niece will not pay for it".
I'mara took a few seconds to think and then reply, "I accept your conditions. I swear on my honor to be your niece's guardian shall you ever perish or lack in presence".
Eofer smirked, "Then I accept the job".
Eofer and Dha'ra know each other and get along well seeing as Dha'ra is also very good friends with Jenny! Jenny got called over Dha'ra's shop (when he was still in the mothership) to fix one of his chairs,broken under the weight of a particularly big yautja customer. While Jenny worked,she noticed a few human tattoo machines on the walls and asked Dha'ra if they worked,Dha'ra said it was just decoration. Jenny being Jenny, offered to fix those too, since she was already there, she worked on them as well and soon got called off somewhere else.
Dha'ra gifted Jenny with a wall scroll of a serpent painting for her efforts, which Jenny loves with all her heart.
