[devoutish]

No, no. But I don't know many women in your line of work, or mine.

MY TYPO!!!!

[plundering]

Huh. Really? That's weird.

[devoutish]

Women and men, right - they've got different roles in my society. There's exceptions, but most women stay at home, take care of the house and the family.

[Alfie is pretty uninvolved when it comes to things like feminism or women's rights. The changing role of women in society doesn't offend him, but he's not an activist either. He isn't sure how he would treat a female criminal, if he found himself working with one. On the one hand, he's definitely a "I don't get rough with women" type. On the other hand, he definitely gets rough with his fellow gangsters.]

[plundering]

[This is so out of Fiona's realm of experience that she can't even wrap her mind around it. She's been taking care of her sister since she was a kid, was being trained by Athena, and even the gang lord trying to kill her and her friends was a woman.]

Uh-huh. Sounds great. You sure they aren't all losing their minds out of boredom?

[devoutish]

Well, some of 'em might, considering they've fought for more of a chance to do other things. They just got granted the right to run for Parliament positions, a few years ago.

[plundering]

"Just"? And female criminals aren't even common? I thought my world was crapsack.

[devoutish]

They're not unheard of, right, but they're not common. No.

[plundering]

Ugh. I'd go nuts.

[devoutish]

Mm. Yeah.

[He thinks of Kesara here, starved for stories of women from her world who do the sort of things that she wants to do.]

I've heard it changes in the future. Things equalize.

[plundering]

They seem pretty equal on most planets—worlds, whatever—I've heard of here.

[devoutish]

Would a man from your world fight you as he would another man?

[plundering]

[Fiona snorts.]

Yeah. It happens all the time.

[devoutish]

Now, where I'm from, that's considered fucking awful, right? A man hitting a woman.

[plundering]

Where I'm from, it's survival. Some of the deadliest people on the planet are women.

[devoutish]

Well - it may be different in that sort of survival situation then, eh? The only one I've been in was the war, and I only served with men.

[plundering]

Nah. It's not just Pandora. Everywhere, even the nice planets like Eden-5.

[devoutish]

How many planets have you been to?

[plundering]

I've never been off world. I was born on Pandora.

[devoutish]

World travels, then? Can you share photographs and video across planets?

[plundering]

Yeah, sure, as long as both planets have the tech for it.

[devoutish]

Right - in my head, your planets are a bit like our countries. Or continents, if they're harder to travel between.

[plundering]

Close enough. Traveling between them isn't hard as long as you have the cash.

[devoutish]

[And she clearly doesn't.]

And that's what you'll do with the spoils from your vault?

[plundering]

That's the idea.

[devoutish]

And that sister of yours?
