[D1 MN] Old Flames New Problems (closed, on board the Gliding Gryffus)

[Omandri Rist]

Omandri had taken off the heavy jacket the armor plates in it clinking subtly as he had it slung over his shoulder his fingers looped through a small piece of cloth meant for hanging. His other arm was occupied with a, let's say, extra fun Riss both of them fresh from the bar and enjoying walking through the nice night air laughing and joking on the way.

His laugh calmed down a bit but still interrupted his sentences a bit "and haha and remember that bookie that you owed money to that we convinced to clear your debt in exchange for drugs and I gave him sugar pills." A small fit of giggles "watching him trick himself high was one of my favorite things." He said as they walked through the space port.

[Riss]

Omandri's arm around her she leans fully against his side, the rosy cheeks as much of a display of the alcohol hitting just right as much as the bombastic way her voice carried as they walked. "Dude was an ass," she chuckles, there's still that pleasantness to it. A broad and bright smile shining as she shakes her head, "Dude was so full of himself I don't think he'd have even believed us if we told him the truth!" she breaks, laughing more, leaning her head into his chest a little and her arm coming around onto his back finding a little more support.

"Such an ass.." she chuckles, little rumbles of the remaining bit of laughing.

[Omandri Rist]

"Well I mean you did owe him like five thousand creds if I remember right." he replied with a warm chuckle, the blush of his own cheeks was fairly light in comparison but that was due to his darker skin tone rather than more sobriety, he gave her a small squeeze in a soft hug as they walked "but he was kind of an ass." he agreed as they came to a light freighter that wwas on the smaller side but was in really good shape. Seemed almost brand new possibly.

Omandri's hand gently squeezed her hip as he let her go, giving her time to steady herself before stepping away. He reached the door and punched in a code the door hissing slightly as it lowered and a ramp slid down to them "And Captain Riss, without further ado I present to you my ship The Gliding Gryffus!" he says with a grand gesture as the ramp finished lowering. "Please come aboard join me for a light night cap." he said smiling as he walked back to her and offered his arm to escort her on board.

[Riss]

Leaning off Omandri she took a couple steps away, arms going up and stretching out. One hand hooking onto her elbow to help steady the stretch, each one done in turn, vocalized pleasure from how good it felt. A light laugh as she settles again, "Gliding Gryffus? That's.. an interesting name," she says, looking to him with a smile. Walking off a little she finds a line drawn into the floor she can show off with, and starts walking along it slowly.

When he returns she hops off the line and takes his arm, leaning into him and resting her cheek against his bicep, "Lead on! Captain of the Gri-fus!" she shouts with a gleeful rise of her voice.

[Omandri Rist]

he laughed at her criticism of the name "What!? the Gryffus is totally cool its on the strongest birds of prey on Alderaan." he said in a jokingly indignant tone but smiled easily as she took his arm and he lead her up the ramp.

The inside of the ship was much like the outside, a lot of chrome and whites and grays with splashes of color here and there from paintings or artifacts of cultures he'd visited. It was all very clean and well kept. It wasn't an overly large area but it was suitable for a handful of people. "Well here she is, not top of the line but got a good price and she flys smooth." as they entered the ship a soft clicking sound was heard and soon enough Alpha had come from the back of the ship. The waist high, canine shaped droid walked up to Riss and inspected her for a moment before sitting next to her "Ah and that is Alpha an exploration and survival droid I picked up around Kashyyykk. He's saved my butt more than once." he said smiling to Alpha and then to Riss.

he motioned to a table with a comfortable looking couch wrapped around it "Come sit "would you like another drink or should our heads be clear..." he paused looking down then at her "well, clear enough for what you wanted to talk about?" he asked with a grin.

[Riss]

"Helllooooooooo," she squee's at the sight of Alpha. Slipping her arm free of Omandri she slips down onto her knees to let his head, something she is enjoying despite the hard metal her hand meets instead of comfy fur. Bringing her hands under the robo-dogs chin she 'lofts' his head up even if she couldn't really inspire the droid to do anything she leans in and kisses it's nose. "Doing such a good job protecting Omandri here," she says, scrunching and wiggling her nose at it.

A soft chuckle, she corrects the idea that she might have mistaken it for an actual dog by leaning on the unit to help her get back into her feet. A loud groan, a stretch, and she looks back to Omandri over her shoulder, "Bring on the drinks!" she says, a bright smile overtaking.

[Omandri Rist]

Omandri smiles watching the interaction with a close eye he nods as she stretches and stands he turns and opens a cabinet with a bottle inside "now sip this Riss its very tasty and smooth but it is literally only recommended for species with higher fortitude than us." He said pouring two fingers of the liquid into each glass, it had a sweet and enticing aroma with fruit and floral notes on it.

Omamdri slid in next to her on the booth his arm going along the back he took a small sip of the drink and a relaxing sigh looking to his conversation partner for the evening "so what did the mysterious, stunningly gorgeous captain Riss wish to speak with me about now that we are away from the prying ears and eyes of Alderaan." His brown eyes traveled frnher waist up pausing a few times until he met her eyes more than one emotion swirling in his own dark colored eyes.

[Riss]

Relaxing into the offered boothbseat she leans her head back against it and closes her eyes, feeling the tingling of her cheeks a little with a slight grin resting passively. When Omandri slid in she sat up a little so he could work himself into position, taking the drink in hand as it was offered. Hearing the words, if perhaps not totally listening to them, she took a generous sip and focuses on the feeling of the liquidy goodness, "Kriff me," she mutters under her breath, a warm chuckle.

Settling a little from the initial drink she glances over to him, "Yea, so-" she takes a moment, settles again-" you're a Rist, right? Something's come up and I need to figure something out. Something you.. more than anyone else probably, can help me figure out," she asks with a brief smile. Setting the glass down again she takes the opportunity to lean against him, resting her head by his shoulder but turning in her seat so she can face him. "Might have to ask around a little for me though, think you're up for it?" she adds with a sense of challenge, a daring smirk.

[Omandri Rist]

Omandri looks down at her for a moment mulling it over "I am indeed a Rist as my name says." He takes another drink "I dunno after all you never actually called me after you dropped me off." He looked at the contents of the glass opaque and light blue in color with just a touch of sparkle.

After a moment looking down at her again his eyes on her eyes and face roaming around for a few seconds He huffed a little and relented "Oh fine, I can't say no to that face. What is it you need from me? And since you brought up my family if it's an assassination im not your guy. I may be a Rist but I'm a doctor not an assassin."

[Riss]

Riss sticks her tongue out at him when he relents. A brief chuckle she shakes her head, "No, that actually points out why you're even more perfect for this.." she glances away and her head goes with her. Leaning back up off of him she finds the drink again, taking it into hand. Lips placed against it for a moment, a breath, and then she doens a very generous 'sip.' Letting that 'sip' hit her first before continuing.

In the meantime she leans back down onto his shoulder, reaching one arm under his and then around the back of his neck so she can cozy up to him. Laying her head against part shoulder and part chest, she looks down toward his knees rather than him directly. Eyes closed, she continues, her voice calm and distracted by the pleasantness of the moment, "I need to know about contracts," she sighs, it's more pleasant sounding than it should be. "More specifically... I need to know if there's any loopholes, ways to get out of it. I know the blood price is a thing, but.. let's just say they can't pay. I wanna know if there's another way out," she explains in a calm, slow manner.

[Omandri Rist]

An arm comes around her holding her "Riss do you have a contract on you?" He asked slowly she wouldn't be able to see his face but the way his held her, the sound of his voice , she would hear the worry in it.

[Riss]

Leaning her head back up she looks to him, "No no, don't worry silly," she says with the briefest of smiles. Bringing the other hand up to touch his cheek, brushing it with her thumb, "Just.. trying to help someone out. Someone I think's pretty neat so I'd really rather them not die, ya know? So.. if you could find out all you can, the quicker you can, the better mmm?" she adds with the touch of another smile for good measure.

[Omandri Rist]

He let out a sigh of relief smiling down at Riss as he caught her hand and kissed it gently "Well ill look into it but if house Rist holds the contract it'll be tough. The more I know about it the easier it'll be. Why the contract was put out is the big one." The thinking through a problem was a bit sobering apparently as Omandri got to thinking.

He looked down as Riss again "don't suppose you'd be willing to tell me who it is?"

[Riss]

"Nah, but.. they're noble. Well, in a sense. House is gone but the name sticks still, ya know? Think their rivals aren't all too happy about that," she explains, settling her head back down against his chest. Words getting that cozy quality to them, the pacing and cadence of them slowing down a bit. "Some folk just like dead to mean dead," she sighs, "anyway.. not with Rist, but Uros. Smaller house so.. I don't think you'd be breaking any rules trying to help me figure this out."

[Omandri Rist]

Omamdri thought for a moment "Did they have a feud with your friend's house or a contract out on your friend?" He asked his arm slowly stroking her own as she laid against his chest.

He took a few breaths "I didn't realize I'd missed this." He said softly getting a little side tracked in his thoughts

[Riss]

"Feud first, contract after. Cleaning up the mess or.. something like that," she raises her hand and eaves it around to give that added air of flippancy her calmed tone didn't portray as effectively as she liked.

"It's nice.." her voice is quieter, drifting a little.

[Omandri Rist]

He thought for a moment and had been about to respond again but looked down at her and just smiled softly instead. "Tomorrow problems for tomorrow then." He said softly and kissed the top of her head. "I'll ask around about it and see what I can find." He promised as he gave her a gentle squeeze. He sipped his own drink again deep in thought for a moment.

Time stretched on like that for a bit his hand slowly rubbing her arm as he just enjoyed the feel of her nestled against him.

[Riss]

"Mmm-hmm," she barely vocalized in response to his promise. Time would drift on, content to laying there just as they were with her glass nearly empty but not quite. Even after a long while, Riss would remain silent. Breathing softer than it had been before.

[Omandri Rist]

Omandri smiled again "oh Riss." He said softly brushing some hair that had fallen over her face back behind an ear.

He shifted slowly getting a grip under her legs and lifted her up assuming she'd fallen asleep. His grip cradled her close to his chest so his walking didn't jostle her too much. Riss was no waiting flower but she was much smaller than the wounded soldiers he would have to occasionally carry on the battlefield. Though he was being more gentle with her.

[Riss]

With as much as she'd had to drink even a pretty big disturbance might have not woken her. Still, Omandri's efforts would have surely been appreciated anyway if Riss was conscious enough to notice them. Sleeping soundly she stirred little in her sleep to cling a bit, but was out cold by all definitions.
