[D4, EE] So About Last Night (closed)

[Omandri Rist]

He raised a slightly questioning eyebrow at her assertion of Bryson's virtue and the comment about his kids but in the end he let the conversation slide away from members of his family and his expression settled into a pleasantly casual one as she presses against him a bit the corners of his mouth turn up "oooo you in a swanky dress, maybe I can get a little preview before you head out to the ball with a Prince." He said with equal parts amusement and mischief in his voice.

He looked down toward her a little as the Spaceport came into view "So you think you're ready to insert yourself back into not only the nobility but royalty?" He asked "You must really like this Prince. Though I admit he is rather handsome, wouldn't mind a bit alone time with him myself." He said with a brief chuckle. "But I think it would take more than a pretty face to make Captain Riss stay grounded." He said with a bit of an implied question.

[Riss]

"You've seen it before, it's Kat's," she chuckles, shaking her head as the tone downplays the moment briefly. "Not the kinda thing you slip into without needing to, mm?" she teases, a scrunch of her nose with the little shake. Settling in as the space-port was coming into view she sits with the thought longer than normal. Furrowing her brow, a shrug, "I like him, I think. I wanna find out how much.. but.." she looks down, pensive.

Exhaling, laughing lightly, "It would take a lot more than just a pretty face to get me to do anything I don't wanna do. A pretty face can be a real good start though," she chuckles, brushing his arm gently. "In fact, one of those things that separates me from my little brother these days. This.. woman, she's.." she gives a low frustrated sound alike a growl almost, "can't stand how blatantly she's overplaying her hand in trying to manipulate my brother and that he still doesn't see it. She's.. gorgeous, mind you, but she's also so Imperial. Nobody acts like that, not so quickly, it's so fake you wouldn't even believe it in a holo-drama," she chuckles, shaking her head. Speaking with a more incredulous tone, "It belongs in a holo-drama."

[Omandri Rist]

"I may have seen Kat in the dress but I haven't seen you in it. Entirely different experience I promise." He said with a light tease and a quick wink.

He listened to her talk and at first smiled as she talked about the Prince but slowly the smile shifted into a thoughtful frown as she described the situation with Bo "Well, hmmmm. That's tough. Is he in danger do you think? Or just doing something that isn't in his best interest? It can be hard when we see people we care about do things that are bad for them but in the end, as long as it won't get them really hurt, we sometimes have to let them make their own mistakes."

He chuckled a little thinking about holo-dramas "I've found real to often be stranger than any holo. I mean look at you, lost noble, play by her own rules ship captain pursuing the Prince of Alderaan during a festival of romance. What part of that doesn't sounds like a holo-drama."

[Riss]

It's subtle, but as he speaks she relaxes her hold on his arm a little bit at a time. Incrementally getting more upright, side by side, than leaning against as they walked, "Yea," she chuckles with a slight warmth to it. "Guess it kinda is like a holodrama when you look at it from a distance like that. Though.. at least mine is one of those good ones, mm? Even if my brothers starring as the comedic relief," she says, there's a humorous tone to it tinged with a slight sadness.

"He's gonna do something stupid. Tera Deathwright is going to try and get him to do something stupid for her, and she's gonna leave him holding the bag cause the idiot sees a dangerously pretty face and not much thinking goes on in his head."

[Omandri Rist]

He feels the distance, not so much holding him as she was before and frowns a little but figures it's best not brought up could mean a lot of things "Yeah definitely one of the good ones for you. Even have the handsome doctor and good guy family man love interests, a responsible female friend, really well rounded cast" he said in a joking tone.

"Well if your first hint she was bad news wasn't at the name Deathwright then I'm not sure he'll ever come to his senses. No one with a name like that is on the right side of things in my experience." He looked over to her "I'm assuming you've already had just an honest conversation with him about this?"

[Riss]

"Showed up so we could share in the good news, find out what he's been doing. Turns out that was her," she said, derisions seeping into her tone. "she sorta just plopped herself down in his lap like it wasn't anything. Even when I was.. doing that whole bit I wasn't as clumsy as she was. It was so over the top I couldn't stand it," her voice tinges with the anger, some little bits of the Alderaanian accent slipping out with the heightened emotion. "Like.." she lays her far arm off him, gesturing to the empty space in front, "she's not even good at it. She's just pretty," she grumbles, glaring forward as if she was locking eyes.

"And I'm not-" she exhales, settling herself a little. "I'm not the one to really ignore something when it's in front of me. I told him.. but he left with her still," she shakes her head. "Not sure what that idiot thinks he's gonna do."

[Omandri Rist]

Omandri's eyebrows raise as Riss talks He shifts grip on her arm still on his to hold her hand and his other hand comes to pat her shoulder "Woah there killer. I get it, she sounds terrible." He tries to say somewhat soothingly "I don't think I've seen you this worked up....well ever really. She must really get under your skin."

He looked off a little thoughtful before looking at her a little sideways "you knoooow I could probably send someone to take her out if she's that much of a problem." He said with a smile, he was joking. Most likely.

[Riss]

There was that distance there as she glances away so she can focus on one of her thoughts. However, the pensive look on her expression mellows after a few moments, "You know, I never thought I'd hear that out of your mouth," she says with an easier tone that before. One that rises a little as she continues, "Even as a joke," she says, punctuating it with a hesitant laugh.

Brushing his hand with her thumb, she closes her eyes and shakes her head. "Not needed though . big sis just has to protect little bro. Something.." she chuckles, this time more awkwardly as she glances down, "something I haven't don't since years before I left. Did it more for myself than for him or Neas back then though.." she drifts on that, letting it go as she puts on a smile. "Alderaan has a weird effect on me," she laughs, brighter than before.

"I'll figure out some way to get the dumb boy that is my little brother to stop thinking out of his pants, somehow. Or.. I got some ideas."

[Omandri Rist]

Omandri shrugs "What good is dealing with the trauma of growing up in a family of spies and assassins if I never joke about it now and again." he says with a bit of a smile toward Riss.

As she spoke Omandri lost a little focus thinking back to his own family growing up, he was quiet like maybe he was going to say something but ended up just shaking his head slightly he regards Riss warmly for a bit "Well I think family has a weird effect on both of us." he chuckles lightly "Though Alderaan does have a certain air to it." he gives her a slightly curious look "Care to share some of your ideas? The libido of a man can be a tough opponent, I'm curious how you plan to overcome it."

[Riss]

"Well.. first idea is to just go around it entirely, give him a little safety net," she says, raising her free hand up and making a walking motion with it.

"I'm gonna send a message along to someone his beau plans to steal from. Warn them.. and hope it doesn't come to me having to pick him up from their custody. Hoping this name I've still got claim to might be worth something.." she drifts on that thought a moment. "Other than that? Just gotta try and do my best to convince him to.. be better? Easy," she claims, with the fakest confidence this side of the Hydian way.

[Omandri Rist]

Omandri gave a full laugh at the last with plenty of mirth in it "Well I will commend your efforts there Riss. I have often heard that those in the throes of infatuation are often very easy to convince that the object of affection is bad for them." He said grinning a little as they neared the spaceport.

His grin turned to a more warm smile to the woman at his side "Well, Bo is very lucky to have someone looking out for him. You're a good sister Riss." He leaned in and kissed the top of her head lightly.

He righted himself "So a pleasure cruise tomorrow, seems like a pretty fun time."

[Riss]

"I wouldn't go so far as to say that.. yet, but I'm trying," she says with a slight tease to her tone. Chuckling as she shakes her head. As they neared she'd turn so that they were facing one another before they'd inevitably part ways. Looking to him with a slight smile, she brought her hand up to his cheek and guided him in a little, "Thanks, Omandri. For.. a lot of things," she gives a half-laugh, more air than laugh as she leans in and gives him a quick kiss in parting. As she parts she slips away from him and takes a few steps back.

"I'll see you there maybe?" she asks, as she continues to walk backward into the direction of her ship, where they would inevitably be parting ways.

[Omandri Rist]

He accepts the kiss easily a smile left as his eyes linger on her lips for a solid moment and slowly make their way up to her eyes "don't suppose you have some time before dinner tonight?" He asked with a grin half joking and knowing the likely answer.

He shook his head letting out a sigh "But yes I hope we do, and hey Riss." He said giving her a look that mixed both warmth and Sincerity "please if you need anything, with this Bo stuff, or any thing else reach out yeah?"

[Riss]

Still walking backwards there was a warmth to her smile, a nod, "Always," she says, turning and then walking off. Now nearing the spaceport she unwraps the towel from around her torso and ties it back around her waist as it had been when she was on the beach. Walking off like that into the port, making an effective /exit.

[Omandri Rist]

Omandri watched the whole walk until she was out of sight. He looked up to the sky seeing the new night filling the sky as the sun finished its retreat. He smiled up to the sky his expression amused but at what wasn't clear. After a moment he shook his head again a low chuckle with it.

He made his way back to the transport to head to the Rist estates. Part of the way back He started whistling a happy tune as he went to enjoy the rest of his evening.
