The Welcoming Committee (D0, Night)

[Katarzyna Ulgo]

At least he didn't seem injured. Or suffering from any medical maladies.

Finding Riss' hand on her shoulder did cause her to raise an eyebrow and she looked questioningly at the privateer. Then back to the young man. "I admit that is a bit outside of my field of knowledge... I am relieved you are unharmed though, sir," Kat gave a polite nod. "I am Katarzyna Ulgo, Jedi Knight. This is... Captain Riss," yes there was a brief pause on the name of introduction there, "a visitor here for the Festival, and a friend of mine."

[Riss]

Riss gives Kat a quick smile before focusing forward on Jerri. At the introduction, "A pleasure," she adds, as she leans into Kat a little more so that her free hand could extend toward Jerri in greeting.

[Jerri Organa]

Jedi Knight Kataryzna reclaimed on the divan, her robe clung to her still wet from the rain, her nerves still taught from the battle with the evil Sith… the Code would stand against her but she knew what her body desired, it desired the dashing rogue… the taught muscles, the firmness of the Captain’s grasp. They may not have felt the Force but they would feel it’s will if she had anything to say about…

He snapped out of his reverie and said, “Well thanks for playing dead… I mean for helping me play dead. Good research.”

“Oh introductions… Jerri Organa… of House Organa, it’s a boring dumb family, probably never heard of it,” he said adjusting his spectacles.

“Oh look at the time,” he said glancing at his cracked and off datapad.

He stammered, “I should go, Master Jedi… strong, stern Captain… question: are you a play by your own rules captain?”

“Just wondering, no reason, forget I asked. But seriously. No... forget it,” he said turning anyway and then back and added, “But seriously.”

[Katarzyna Ulgo]

"Yes, I am certain no one has heard of House Organa," Kat remarked with some dry humor, but her soft laughter was warm and at ease. Even if Riss was being a little clingy?

She smirked with some amusement. "I don't think Riss knows what rules are most of the time as she tries to break them at hyperspeed-pace. But... go ahead captain."

[Riss]

"Organa who?" the tease is as evident as the laugh. Folding her hand back up she retracted it back to rest comfortably on her hip above her blaster. Regarding him a moment with a all too confident smirk as she makes some judgements. Judgements she planned on keeping to herself, for the time being.

Nodding to the question after the moment of appraisal, she shrugs, "Not sure if those are the words I'd use exactly but.. yea. Kat got me pretty well measured there," she says shaking her head. Riss chuckles with an almost bubbly nature to it if the chuckle wasn't a bit too rough to be considering bubbly.

[Jerri Organa]

"Great, okay... well nice to meet you Captain, Master Jedi," he offered his hand briefly before recoiling it and then awkwardly bowed and then nodded and then turned walked away.

The Stolen Jedi Bride... no...Jedi's sweet Soul Surrender? Too wordy... Force Me.... yes... short... and to the point.

[Katarzyna Ulgo]

"A pleasure to meet you, sir. Be safe," the Master Jedi offered to the departing noble. So that was Jerri Organa, huh. Somehow she had imagined he'd be... not that? Then again, she didn't know much about him, only that he was one the Organa were putting forward for the princess' interest.

"Well... that was, mm, unexpected?" she said, looking to Riss as Jerri walked away.

[Riss]

"Bye byeee!" she says, calling out toward Jerri after he started walking away. With a brief smile she rests her head onto Kat's shoulder so that her head was covering her own hand, still watching Jerri as he surely continues to gain a distance a little at a time. "Very," she says, a soft sigh. "It was fun teasing him a little, he was cute. Pretty sure he liked you," she said with a smirk, glancing up toward Kat from the rested position on her shoulder.

"You knew that right? Or maybe I should call him back-" she says, and committing immediately to that tease she leans her head off her shoulder and starts the motions to signal her calling out to him again, hand raising from her blaster up into the air.

[Katarzyna Ulgo]

Kat's brows lowered in a look of internal consternation. "Please don't," she said softly, obviously feeling quite awkward about it now that Riss had stated it so openly.

"I would not want to give young people like him the wrong idea. About me, I mean. I am still a Jedi Knight, after all..." a matter that was weighing on her it seemed, judging by the sigh that followed those words. So far her time on Alderaan hadn't given her much time to reflect on that.

[Riss]

Lowering her arm she gives another quick smile to Kat before shifting more properly to her side. Hand testing Kat's current mind a little bit more, that level of comfort, by placing a hand comfortably and passively on Kat's hip, "Worrying about what ideas other people get is still sooo.." she shakes her head, rolling her eyes. Sighing she refocuses a little, "You are. But I don't think that should stop you much from enjoying company of cute boys, hmm? Even if it's just for a few laughs," she chuckles.

[Katarzyna Ulgo]

Kat took a step away from the hand to her hip, feeling a touch uncomfortable with the level of intimacy in such a public setting. Then again, she had always been such a stick-in-the-mud in public, keeping up that good appearance of a Jedi Knight and an Alderaanian noble.

"I wouldn't say he's my type, to be honest." Not that she had ever said what her type was. "Cute boys are more your thing, along with cute girls. You'll see plenty of that here at the Festival. Not only Alderaanians from all walks of life, but there is many offworld visitors too."

[Riss]

It wasn't unexpected, and so the hand slid off her side with as much ease as it was placed there. Finding it's way back to resting by her hip, on the back of her blaster. Taking a moment to readjust herself she gave an easy smile in the interim, "Just a woman of the galaxy, I am," she said with a brief smirk.

"Rather than handing me a brochure, you interested in coming aboard still? I've got.. well, we've got plenty other much more interesting topics to cover," she asks with a glance toward the Roundabout.

[Katarzyna Ulgo]

"Yes. Right. My apologies, the little incident made me forget about that for a moment. Please, lead the way."

Hopefully this time the pair would make it onto the ship without any more incidents or sudden admirers.

Once inside, Kat sniffed the air a bit. "Yes... still has some funk in the air. But different. Might be as you said, that there is just a funk that comes naturally with someships."

[Riss]

"No sweat," she says, regarding Kat a moment before she left the way. That same saunter to her step working it's way in which caused the guns on her belt to be almost musical in nature. Like a dull chime signalling her approach wherever she went.

Inside, the ship was in the condition that the woman was likely to expect. Things were scattered around seemingly with little mind to purpose as much as she would figure but in ways that Riss claimed made perfect sense to her. They didn't linger here long as Riss was quick to direct them toward her personal quarters. Though she didn't say it, this was to give her passengers ample time to exit and get on with their own twilight hours while they spoke more privately.

Stepping up beside the door she started again, "So, what've you been up to?"

[Katarzyna Ulgo]

The mess was given its usual scrutinizing glance, accompanied by the customary shake of her head and amused smirk. With such a chaotic galaxy, it was nice to see that some things remained the same.

Once inside Riss' private quarters, Kat found a somewhat clean spot of wall to lean against. "Since Coruscant?" she sighed heavily, her mood noticeably dampened. As always, when she spoke, it was with a thoughtful pause first, as if she gave each word due consideration before speaking them out loud. "Fighting the Sith. Trying to do what good I can. I'm kind of on leave, at the moment, from the Order. There is just..." she gestured to the air, "... too much. To take in. My master has been missing for some time by now, and I'm not at all happy with how things are at the moment. But, I will still do what good I can, as I try to figure things out. And prevent my homeworld from falling into civil war."

[Riss]

Couple quick digits, and they were inside. With some of the weight from the previous interaction she took the load off by walking over toward her bed and falling into it. Turning over so she could remain conversational she states at the ceiling while she listens along. Near halfway through she gives silent thanks to the idea of laying on the bed as it all only got a touch heavier.

"Helluva leave if you're coming back here for it," she sighs. Turning onto her side she props her head up onto her hand, leaning into the bed with an elbow. "Jedi stuff is sounding almost as dramatic as things here on Alderaan.. which is.. yikes."

[Katarzyna Ulgo]

"Yikes, indeed," she agreed with a touch of dry humor, trying to find some levity to the situation. "It is the right thing to do, of that I'm certain. Preventing civil war, that is, regardless of how I feel about other matters these days."

Kat smiled a little as she eyed the usually carefree Riss. "So what actually brings you to Alderaan, my friend? Not that I doubt you're here for the pleasantries of it all, but trouble usually tends to follow you around, in my experience."

[Riss]

"Less war the better," she comments idly as she looks to Kat. Watching the woman as she continues with a slight furrow to her brow as she has a natural thought but let's it settle. By the finish of the question she sighs and her one shoulder that could slumped a little.

"Most of the time that troubles the fun sort, and you know it," she says with a distracted smirk, glancing away. "But.. yea. This times different," she hesitates, inhales, and rolls onto her back.

"This time it's family.. maybe," she says, noticing a dirt mark on the ceiling and focusing on it a little as she continues, "Or.. maybe someone using my brother's name to get in touch with me? I.. I don't know. Which.. is kinda why I was looking for you," she looks over the Kat, her cheek buried a little by the sheet on the bed.

[Katarzyna Ulgo]

Kat nodded. The less war the better, it was a thought she very much agreed with. Especially after so much of it in her lifetime. Both of their lifetimes.

"Your brother?" her posture changed slightly with that surprise, as if readying herself for the not-fun kind of trouble that also followed Riss. "That is quite the claim. Not that I've paid attention to the on-goings of that particular house, to be honest, but... do you think it is likely it's a false claim?"

[Riss]

"Not like I've been home enough to have any idea.." she says, her tone distracted a bit as she's busy counting the specks which branch out in a pattern away from the main collision point. What had she done to get a stain up there, on metal? It was weird. Though, coming back from the thought she sighed, "I dunno," she shifted herself up and scooted toward the edge of the bed.

Looking up to Kat, "If it is.. I wanna take the chance to talk to him. If it's not? I mean, would have to be somebody pretty..." she shakes her head, "It's him. I just- it'd be cool if I had a real badass Jedi in the area who just so happened to be able to watch my back if it isn't, yea?" she asks, her hands had come to rest against the edge of the bed between her legs as she leaned a little forward in the question.
