[After their very successful gambling ring, they'd kicked some mermaid out of her house to celebrate. Kicked out is such a mean way of putting it, though. Sure, they threatened her a bit, but Aphra did toss like a lot of shells her way too? Really, they were renting it. Airbnbing it, or water rather than air in this case.
It was nice. It'd been a while, since Tolvan. And while Aphra did miss the imperial agent, it wasn't like their relationship was anything serious or like it ever could be with her. She was useful, and she wasn't useful when she wasn't here. Zero was here, though.
The night,
was just a very bad dream.
The prison she'd been sent to hurtling towards some planet the Empire wanted to punish. Tolvan finding her. Sana finding her. Some fungus that thought it was a Jedi and also pretended to be her mom. That guy who wanted her dead because she got his partner killed on that last mission. And Vader.
His presence could be felt even if you had no clue what the Force was. It lurked and filled a room, a planet even. And he was coming for her, for them.
The next part goes quickly, fuzzily just like the end of a dream. She asks Tolvan to erase her memory. Tolvan asks her to do the same. Then...
Aphra stirs, not sure where she is. It's comfy here. A nice bed, not a prison cell. Her eyes open and she sees a flash of white hair. She smiles and cuddles in closer, sleepily wrapping her arms around the other.]

Morning, Captain Snuggles.
