Goodnight [Day 10, EN, Closed]

[Riss]

Following the moment with Bryson's family, while other young and old lovers alike paired off for their nights of romance this one just left a feeling alike slightly sour taste in her mouth. An unfortunate somber state, one with pain, that overwhelmed if she let herself sit in it too long. Half empty bottle of wine in one hand she did what she could to wash out that sour feeling, a lush coming over her as the alcohol settles into her system. Riss was a changed woman after the events that all started when she first touched down. A threat of assassination, a royal prince, a tattooed father whom offered promise, and many friends each of whom cared deeply for her and she them. However, Riss wasn't perfect and everyone lapsed back a little, some things don't always change.

There were a few sure-fire ways she knew how to deal with the emotions she was facing tonight. One was already to hand, and as she arrives along her traced trail toward finding where Omandri was in the larger Rist estate soon another would be as well.

[Omandri Rist]

A Droid would inform Riss that Omandri was in his office and guide her there. When she entered it wouldn't look so much like his office rather than just an office. The man in question sat behind a desk made of fine heavy wood suit jacket hung on the chair and omandri himself was in dress shirt and tie as he poured over a data pad.

As Riss entered he looked up and a smile played across his lips "Well Countess this is an unexpected surprise, but a welcome one." He does spot the bottle and his smile might falter a little but not much. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

[Riss]

"Thanks buddy," she'd say, dismissing the droid herself with the assumption if that didn't work Omandri would finish the task. Stepping into the office proper she takes meandering steps around the outside of the room, taking a swig from the bottle as she does, "Just.." she says, a couple more steps she comes over to the side of the table. Looking back to make sure the door was shut behind her, and the droid was gone. With that confirmed she looks back, "Shut up Omandri," she says, her voice soft and near quiet. Stepping up she faces him as she sits back onto his desk, scooting to be in front of him at the center of the desk. Hand going to his collar she'd pull him in by it, and if allowed, kiss him deeply and with passion.

[Omandri Rist]

"Riss....?" Would be the only words that came before he was pulled in and kissed. At first he paused mostly due to surprise but then he kissed her back meeting passion with passion. She would taste a hint of Whiskey on his tongue as they kissed.

He kissed her deeply also furtively as emotions long held back burst forth again as his hands landed on her legs and slid up to her waist. He certainly wasn't going to be the first one to break the kiss.

[Riss]

Riss would be the one to break, leaning back to shrug off her jacket a bit before pulling it off and throwing it away. Not concerned for what she might knock off the desk in the meantime. Something that was pointedly proven when she decides to brush everything and anything away from her atop the desk, knocking most of it onto the floor, without care save for only the half-bottle of wine. Making room for herself to focus back on Omandri, inviting him in, hands pushing through his hair until they can grip his head and pull him in for another kiss.

From there.. things would only get more intense as she'd have someone to get herself lost in for the night.

[Omandri Rist]

His eyes devoured her as they burned with a passion as the connected and disconnected kisses and furtive undress his own shirt ripping open uncaring about the few buttons that clattered to the ground. His hands explored her, familiar but still unbelievably exciting as if it were the first time.

But something was off, he felt her passion but underneath that passion was a desperation, she certainly felt a need but he slowly got the impression it wasn't a need for him. The feeling grew as things got more intense and Omandri reached his limit he put a hand on her chest and very gently pushed her away, his own breath came heavy

"Riss, I......I want this." He said between breaths "but, not like this. I.....I can't just be a bandaid for you." He says looking into her eyes.

[Riss]

There was that pull toward him a moment, broken moment as it was but his words cut through and surprise crawled in. Eyes measuring she seemed lost, confused. Heavy breathing holding to the moment for a few seconds following with a sardonic laugh. Shaking her head she looks to the ceiling first and then Omandri, meeting his eyes, slowly nodding.

Putting herself together a bit, she calmly leans in and puts her lips to his forehead. "You're cute," she says, and then swings her legs to one side before pushing herself off the desk. Taking a few steps away she tidies herself up. A quick glance spared across the room, a furrow of her brow. Not finding what she was looking for.

Relatively cleaned up enough for a walk she looks back to him, and then away, "Sorry," she says, and then calmly makes her way for the door. Having not found her jacket she just calls back over her shoulder, "Just have the jacket delivered to my ship," she says, more to be helpful than anything.

[Omandri Rist]

He stands there shirt lost at some point and forgotten in the moment. He gently caught her hand as she tried to leave "you don't have to leave Riss, I want to be here for you just...." He looked down and away "just not like that."

He gave her hand a gentle squeeze "I care about you Riss."

[Riss]

Stopped by the hand she was glad to be looking away as she rolled her eyes. Shoulders slumping for just a second she holds there. With a smile she turns back to him, "I know, Omandri," she says stepping back and placing the free hand on his chest. Giving that little distraction to slip the first one free, not that she expected resistance.

"You're sweet. I'm just- not right now," she says, looking past him and with the originally grabbed hand she slips past his side and grabs the half-empty wine bottle. Bringing it close to her side she offers another brief smile.

"Goodnight, Omandri," she says, and would then move for the door again.

[Omandri Rist]

As she slips past he catches her just to get her attention to look into her eyes "whenever you're ready, whenever you need me." He says softly as he doesn't need volume with how close they are.

As she turns to leave he watches her go, he never feels like he doesn't know what to do more than after something like this with her. She was so simple and straight forward but also so complex and mysterious. He watched her go, she knew he was always there, would always be there maybe even when it was annoying. Omandri was a stubborn friend, hard to gain his loyalty but even harder to lose it.

[Riss]

Despite everything, in that last admittance as he looks to her eyes she leans in and kisses his cheek. Turning as she originally deciding and walking from him she heads for the door, and makes her way outside. It would be a long trip from here to somewhere she might find a bar she was familiar with, or anywhere she might know, but she'd find one. In there, there'd bound to be plenty of lonely people on a night like tonight which was the perfect place for exactly what she needed. Someone to get lost in. Who they were would never matter in the end, and by the morning after when they left? It would be like they were never there.

Still, she had people who were close by. More than a few. All those she knew she could rely on, so maybe someday. Maybe someday she wouldn't need it quite so bad.

Tonight though?
