Alderaan - Love and Intrigue

Joran smiled and placed his flower crown on Jocasta’s head and said, “I hope you accept me Jocasta as I have accepted you, now an hopefully forever.”

OOC: Joran accepts Jocasta, she will be Jocasta Panteer in the year to come.

Joran listened and then gave each lady a respectful kiss on the cheek and then joined his sister in returning to the castle. He gave them his classic smile on the way back to the Spring Palace.

It was not the ending he wanted but his choice would have to wait till the following night.

Joran smiled at the women and said, “You both are incredible women, I just want you both to know that.” The saint’s statue came into view and he added, “I know we have not known each other long, both of you but I am really lucky to have gotten to know both of you. Alderaan is better due to your acti...

"Well, that is a loaded question. I know a few things I'll be leaving behind with the Festival." she says wistfully. "I suppose I will take away both a caution of leaning too much into my preconceptions and conversely a confidence in trusting my instincts." "Loaded as they come," Riss joins in with...

"What will you take away from this Festival, and hopefully it's not the attempted coup," he said to them.

“Thank you both, I know this might seem a little awkward but you both have really affected me over this festival, and I really could not decide who would be best to go with and here we are,” he joked.

“But seriously, I am really impressed with you both.”

Joran smiled and said to Riss and Jocasta, "Shall we?"

Joran played a song for Riss, it's not great but at least he is having a good time.

Joran was resting, his eyes closed but he was bearing it well.

OOC: He has a Hard critical to mend and say suffered about 14 wounds.

“I had a pretty good heroic speech lined up, but old man Bouris Ulgo is no joke,” he said honestly.

“And he just surrendered? Good, I will have to thank Riss for the heads up, guess second time was the charm,” he laughed and regretted it. “Yeah that hurt.”

A huge relief washes over her as Bouris stands down and drops his weapons, and Kat turns off her lightsaber. Feeling Riss' hand on her shoulder, she reached up and gave it a pat, assuring her friend that the danger was over. For now. Seeing the the injured were recieving the attention they needed, ...

"I believe you will do some good, Riss, you are doing good," he said honestly.

"I will do my best Riss, I will do my best," he said to her and patted her shoulder.

"Then you are doing good, I will bring this to my brothers, they will know what to do, or at least try to do something," he said.

"But let's not make this a habit, I will be disappointed if you come to me a third time."

Joran placed his arms around her and said, "The food can wait, and I'd rather use this time alone wisely." He kissed her again with deep passion ignoring the food for now and focusing his desire for her.

"I really shouldn't be, but I want to believe you want to help, Riss," he responded.

"Kriff," he said and then looked at the data with Riss and repeated, "Kriff. I can get this to mother but she isn't going to be easy to convince the last... bit of helpful info really burned her."

"I am not sure I can get mother to do anything," he said honestly. "Follow me." They return to his private apartment and he said, "Okay start from the beginning."

"What's real?" he said looking at the chit, "Oh... yeah, I don't blame you. Wait you have more information?"

Joran was up getting his morning workout started in one of the the palace courtyards. He seemed surprised when Riss was brought to him and said, "Riss, it's early for... well everything."
