His ears were back and he hissed loudly as the man tried to catch hold of his arm.

"I said no," Nyx said, baring his teeth. They were down one of the many winding halls near the residential area, alone, but not hidden.

"I don't see why you're being so difficult. I paid you last time, and I'll pay you again. Come on, just come back to mine," the man snapped, glancing around to make sure no one was watching as he caught Nyx around the middle to try and haul him along.

Nyx hissed louder and gave him a kick in the shin. "I said I would not take you as a client again!"

The man hadn't been too rough or violent, those things didn't bother Nyx at all. No, this man had almost been too friendly, calling often after their encounter and sending Nyx little gifts. Usually he loved that sort of thing, but this man... He made him uneasy.

"I have money, you could just let me look after you," the man said, trying to soothe him. "I could be good for you..."

Nyx bit down hard on his shoulder, sharp teeth piercing through the man's uniform. That seemed to be the final straw as the man moved to strike him.

Hex had been doing a check up in a crew member's quarters, rather than make them come all the way to med bay. It hadn't taken long and he opened the door to the corridor, only to see a situation ahead of him. It took him only a moment to process the struggle and by the time the man dropped Nyx and raised his hand, Hex was there to catch his wrist in a strong grip.

"Security emergency" he barked as he struck the badge on his chest.

"No emergency," the man tried to assure him.

"I promise, there is," Hex answered, then struck him with a hard fist.

This was where he'd always gotten in trouble on Betazed. His temper...and the rush and thrill he felt hitting a man like this.

More than once.
