"I want you on the Behemoth because you're the right person for the job. Find a crew, people you trust. It's time."
The idea that he could try the same charisma shit on her that he pulls with the OPA faction leaders or the head of some Inner corporation he's trying to sweet talk is infuriating. "Spare me the speeches, Freddy," she scoffs, "they've never worked on me."
To his credit, he drops the act, his face hardening as it typically does when the two of them are discussing a particularly tricky deal. "Fine. I need you on the Behemoth because I need someone I can trust. But I wouldn't ask if I didn't think you were the best."
Damn the man, she won't let him flatter her. Drummer is such a great character and I love the backstory built for her here - her anger and her pragmatism and her determination to do well by her people - as well as filling in her relationship with Naomi, and why it ended the way it did. I enjoyed this a lot.

The woman leaned forward and folded her hands over her knees. “What would it take? For you to tell me about him?”
A kiss, a quick tumble. Aphra had no idea what to actually say; there was nothing at all that she could think of that would entice her to speak. The truth of the matter was she was scared of that bastard and she didn’t know how in the hell to get out of the web he’d tangled up around her. And now she had this woman staring at her like she had all the answers. But Aphra had nothing. AU where Aphra is captured by Saw Gerrera's partisans and tries to flirt her way out of it while being interrogated by Padme. Really well done.
