[ It's not quite the response he was expecting, but Chuuya does consider the offer. Given the status that (he assumes) Rhys had, doubling the lump sum of money on his head - a sum that seems fairly large - was an easy task. It would make him a turncoat, to accept a bribe in exchange for purposefully failing a mission, but in El Nysa, Chuuya's loyalty has always been in money and the things he could buy with them. His boss, the only person he genuinely answers to, is in one of those stasis pods, and he's not about to give that same loyalty to anyone else.

So, when framed that way, it might be a good deal. Only? He should be the one making the terms here, not Rhys. ] Triple it.

If you're offering a bribe, it must mean you don't actually have a way to defend yourself. I ain't the only one after you right now. Don't you think you'll be needing some help?

[ For more, he'll provide 'protection' too. Chuuya just wants the money to buy that pricey wine he really wants. ]
