(D2 EE, Rist Estates) A Rist To Crat...e?

[Cynella Andrim]

Cynella, intrigued by the so-called assassin group, visited the estates when the opportunity arose. On her way over, she mulled over the cultural manual. After all, if anyone was to not be insulted, it was a bunch of people who killed on a regular basis.

[Kellen Rist]

Kellen was sat outside reviewing some notes on his datapad when Cynella arrived. He looked up but did not recognise the woman. Still he offered a bright smile. "Good evening, welcome to the Rist Estates."

[Cynella Andrim]

By all means, this man didn't appear to be an assassin. Then again, a good assassin wouldn't look like one. "I'm glad I came to the right place," Cynella said. After that whole maze debacle, she'd lost a bit of faith in her navigation abilities. "I am Cynella Rhiannon Esmetrice Andrim, though Cynella works all the same." Always a mouthful of an introduction, though she really didn't seem to mind at all.

[Kellen Rist]

"Aha, well met Cynella. That is a Kuati name if I'm not mistaken?" He seemed fairly self-assured if a little curious. "A pleasure to meet you. I'm Kellen Elijah Rist. Was there someone you were looking for in particular? Maybe I can assist? I was just planning out a manuscript." He tucked the datapad away.

[Cynella Andrim]

"I am indeed a noblewoman of Kuat," Cynella said with a gracious bow copied from the amazing Captain Alderaan. "Is there a name you'd prefer in particular among those, Lord Rist? As for the purpose of my visit, I wanted to familiarize myself more with the Houses of this dear planet. I'm here for your lovely festival and, depending on how fate turns out, I may be living here for the rest of my life." She winked. "Marriage and all."

[Kellen Rist]

He flashed a sly smile. "Professor, but Kellen is fine." Nodding he gestured to the Estate and started walking. "Very good. Let me show you around. I'm just back from Coruscant for the Festival and it's a pleasure to be home."

He started pointing out some features of historical interest. "So, is this your first visit to Alderaan?"

[Cynella Andrim]

"I would be honored for you to lead me around, Professor," Cynella said, returning the smile. "It is indeed my first time ever on this planet. My family has deemed it a proper time for me to be wed, with the greatest picking being the royal prince."

[Kellen Rist]

"Oh how wonderful. Well the last time I was home it was to help out during the conflict. Fortunately we survived it well." It hadn't been anywhere near as bad as what had happened on Coruscant.

"I wish you well in courting the Prince. I'm sure you will enjoy the Festival of Flowers whatever the outcome." Unfortunately, 'Flowers' kept reminding him of the terrible poetry of the afternoon.

"My aunt asked me to court the Princess, so here I am!"

[Cynella Andrim]

"Oh dear, Coruscant. You were part of the relief then?" She shook her head. "It mustn't have looked good at all."

But she was ready to move on to happier thoughts. "Oh, yes, I am trying to court the prince. However, it is my House's hope that I find a suitable partner among any of Alderaan's nobility. So if you're not only to court the princess, then perhaps that avenue is open for us," she concluded with her signature wink.

[Omandri Rist]

Omandri had been inside the estate working out a little as the Rist estate sported a state of the art training facility. Usually in use to train agents and the like it did well enough to keep the good doctor in shape as well and was much better than the facilities open to the guests of the festival.

He exited the facility heading toward the main estate in his workout gear a pair of loose shorts and a tight but flexible tank top. It appeared during his travels Fitness became a priority for the doctor as he had put on a good bit of muscle and tone that was hidden by his day to day wear.

Upon seeing the two he broke into a small jog to lessen the distance "Ah Kellen I didn't know you were in I would have invited you to go a few rounds." He said with a chuckle before looking to Cynella "and who is this enchanting woman you've brought into our little den of snakes?" He asks with a friendly smile.

[Kellen Rist]

"Oh dear, Coruscant. You were part of the relief then?" She shook her head. "It mustn't have looked good at all."

But she was ready to move on to happier thoughts. "Oh, yes, I am trying to court the prince. However, it is my House's hope that I find a suitable partner among any of Alderaan's nobility. So if you're not only to court the princess, then perhaps that avenue is open for us," she concluded with her signature wink.

"I used to work on Coruscant. Now that I'm a full Professor I have a lot more flexibility. Never was a huge fan of the place but sad to see what happened to it. I expect I'll be back to help again soon."

Turning to happier matters he gave her a pleasant smile. "Perhaps it is! Although I am sure that you will find no lack of charming erudite Alderaanians who feel similarly. What are your own interests if I may ask?"

"Aha! Lady Cynella, this is my cousin, Dr. Omandri Rist. Good evening Omandri. Tomorrow then? I was saying to Gil I needed a bit of practice." He turned to Cynella. "Omandri, may I introduce Lady Cynella Rhiannon Esmetrice Andrim, of Kuat."

[Cynella Andrim]

"Not a huge fan, hm? A bit too crowded, perhaps? That's what I've heard, at least, before everything that happened." She shook her head. "It's good of you to help with the recovery though. I may have to join you someday," she said with a wink.

"My own interests though? Nothing so much as to interfere with my filial duty, if that's what you're wondering." A slight smile. "From what I can tell, I'm getting to the point where it'd just be odd for a woman of my status to not be wed. I wouldn't want anyone to think me odd."

She covered her lips and laughed a bit at the little planetary introduction at the end. For whatever reason, she expected all to know the origins of House Andrim. "He's not so-much have brought me here and more-so met me per-chance. However, it's certainly not an unwelcome meeting."

[Omandri Rist]

Omandri gave Cynella a winning smile "Well then I may have to evaluate your sanity for willingly coming to such a place Lady Andrim." He said with a warm chuckle "but I am happy to welcome you to the Rist estates as well, Kellen is the most charming if us, which is why we keep him out here to greet guests." He said with a little teasing in his tone.

He turned to his cousin "Yeah tomorrow or the next day depending on schedules. You could probably use it. That university has you pushing too many pencils." He said with a grin.
