"Why are you so interested in my sex life?"
"Or lack thereof?" Lizbeth taunted. "Because you need to have more fun in your life."
"I have plenty of fun," Lyssa replied. "And why do you care?"
"Excavating planets and hunting pirates? That's not fun; it's work. Leveman's, even when you went to Eamon's, you were working!"
"Yes, and that's fun enough for me."
"I think you're just lonely."
"I'm not lonely," Lyssa gasped and stared at Lizbeth as if she had two heads. Two of the planet prospectors turned to look at her curiously. "I'm happy being alone."
"If you were happy being alone, you would have been happy for Vel that he had a new girlfriend instead of being jealous," Lizbeth said. "Ergo: lonely."
"No, I'm angry because the little shit lied to me."
"I have a feeling that you would have reacted the same way if he'd told you the truth immediately," Lizbeth said. "He obviously cares a lot about you, and I don't think he'd ever do anything to intentionally hurt you."
"I'm not…having this conversation with you right now," Lyssa said, annoyed that the planet buyers weren't sitting down so she could start the auction.
