Kamae simply nodded as he followed the Arcosian's conversation with him, Heit speaking on how he wished to travel the stars like Kamae had. The demon smiled at this, glad to have inspired someone to follow their ambition rather than simply be swallowed up by mediocrity and complacency. The universe was vast, ever filled with new experiences. To sit on one world for all ones life was just shameful to any one. Yet contentment to be and live till one died was a common place belief. A foolish idea.
"I see. The universe has a vast store of knowledge just waiting to be discovered."
Kamae then let the Arcosian show him the ship, the demon's mind easing up enough to allow just a simple conversation to happen. His mind still guarded, but loose enough to allow Heit to show him what he wished. The demon was impressed by the fact it had been constructed at all from salvage.... Perhaps Kamae could offer the man a more... lucrative way to fix the ship up. He had it mostly done, but to ride around in a half arsed manner was not worthy of such a large ambition.
Kamae chuckled as Heit finished speaking, being as polite as always despite the fact Kamae was clearly a monster. This man reminded him of Derry, and that softened the demon's heart to him. If only a little at least, and that made the demon ponder how he should word his offer. Derry surely wouldn't mind a capable man who could build his own starship... and perhaps in his travels Heit could secure things for the dirty snakes...
"Heit... You have done well so far, that much is evident and I must say I am impressed... But how would you like a more, shall we say, promising start to your adventure AND it still pay the bills."
Kamae would stand up straight then, adjusting his jacket while he prepared to present the job offering. He doubted Heit would take it, not many people wanted to work with a monster like Kamae.
"You have probably gathered by now what sort of man I am. What sort of people I work for or with in this case. Now I ain't saying you have to go around being like me, or help me directly when I offer this but... How would you like to work for me and get access to not only my lab... but also get access to funds to replace any parts needed for your ship. I'm sure salvage is fine but... why let your first ship not be the best it could possibly be. You've demonstrated to me that you are calm, level headed and intelligent."
Kamae then placed a hand under his chin while he paced back and forth in front of Heit, taking his measure. He wouldn't be upset to be rejected, though he would feel disappointment.
"While out and about, you could collect things for me. Strange artifacts, possibly a few materials, and information. No need to get your hands dirty or tell anyone you work for me. And should I end up dead someday, or if I disappear from this place... You'll still have my lab to work in when you return here. My resources so long as they do not conflict with my own interests, will be present to assist you whenever you need."
Kamae stated with a friendly smile and an extended hand to be shook. He was inviting Heit to the dirty snakes, to work directly under him essentially. But how this Arcosian responded was completely up to him.
