Star smiled as Nyx stood and stepped beside the Rocket to lead her back indoors. His movement was smooth and deliberate; a sharp contrast to her bouncier caped companion.
"An impressive vessel, isn't it?" He paused to hold the door for her.

"It certainly is." Nyx replied thoughtfully as she stepped through the open door.

"I'm not familiar with Team Rocket's accommodations, but I suspect it's quite a change. Your team doesn't strike me as being so.." He tapped his chin, "...aggressively flamboyant."

"No, but we're efficient." Being in Team Rocket was sort of like being in a business. It's building style was reflective of it's Boss, who was stylish and suave and wonderful. "So this is a ship, hmm? How doesn't it get noticed?"

"Oh there's a wide range of measures in place to keep us hidden. Unfortunately that's not my department so I couldn't really go into details. I'm relegated strictly to robotics. I believe you've seen more than enough of our handywork as far as that's concerned." He stopped to peer into one of the many rooms they'd passed and found it empty. Deeming it an acceptable place to chat, he held the door for Nyx and wandered inside. The room seemed to be a generic workspace, available to anyone who needed it. It was occupied by several desks and lit by a row of windows offering a view of the rolling hills outside.

"Hm." Nyx wandered over to the window and looked out. She doubted she'd have much luck wringing information out of this tall raspy man, he wasn't in love with her after-all.

Star shut the door after him and eyed Nyx as she looked out the windows. He let her enjoy the view in silence several moments before cutting to the chase, "I can get you out of here, you know." He kept his eyes on Nyx, folding his hands behind his back.

"What? Wouldn't that be you betraying Deimos?" Nyx sounded surprised, which she legitimately was, considering she hadn't figured anyone would try to help her escape, seeing how she was Deimos' personal special guest.

"Yes." He approached Nyx, hands still clasped behind his back, "It would be. But let's not concern ourselves with my motives at the moment. Trust me, I have many. The important question is whether or not you want your freedom back."

This was not a path of conversation Nyx had hoped to be having. If she left now, Lucere would be terribly unhappy with her, and she couldn't have that. Nyx bit her lower lip, thinking about what to do. If she had her pokemon she could have roughed up Star and told Deimos he attacked her...
"Why do you want to help me?"

Star's eyes had yet to leave Nyx as he examined every subtle expression that crossed her face. At her question he disengaged his stare to look out the window, "Because I hate it here. I want you to take me with you."

"Then why haven't you left before, joined Team Rocket on your own?" Nyx couldn't tell if Star was lying. Unfortunately, she didn't have any previous experience with him, or she'd have known he was up to something.

"You can't exactly walk up to Team Rocket and ring the doorbell. I don't even know where your base is. If I did manage to make contact the moment they found out who I work for they'd do away with me. Assuming my own team didn't find me first."

That wasn't true, and she knew it. As and elite, Nyx had access to most classified information, especially about the lower ranks, and she knew there were a few ex-galactics in the team already. Not to mention probably a few ex-other knock-off teams.
"I'm sure with your resources you could find a recruiter." Nyx pushed herself up onto one of the desks and crossed her arms. "But I don't exactly know if I want to go back."
Oh the lies she would tell for her beloved Lucere.

"Really?" Star arched an eyebrow, eyes drifting back to Nyx.
