A celebration of two. (mandalorians, republic)

[Josh Dragovalor]

A smirk crossed his face. He watched her teasing, getting all close and rambling with an amused look. "Nah" he said. "I've never considered it. I think she's a little too wild for my tastes" he joked with a chuckle. "I don't oggle and go for every woman I meet, yknow? I look out for the right person. That's really all I want, really... Just THE person. I'm a long term relationships kind of guy. Flings and such aren't my thing, so I try and be careful" he explained with a smirk.

Her off color remarks about knowing where Rianna lived and such and such amused him, though puzzled him at her rather insane approach to her words. Regardless, he took another sip of his drink.

"No" he said to her question. "I don't know him. Met him once, that's about it"

He noticed she had inched incredibly close at this point. He raised an eyebrow.

[Leori Sheltrak]

Leori chuckled. "Well aren't you affectionate." She teased.

"And crude. Tsk Tsk." Then she laughed.

She was about to speak, when the music was interrupted and she heard Ordo announce that he was going to sing.

Interesting choice for a wedding.... She thought. But she listened and made no judgement.

A few times she glanced at @[member="Aran Ordo"] for his reaction to his father singing. And when he was finished, she commented. "Is that customary for a wedding?"

"Its good to be careful, you must have seen those holomercials about the spread of STDs" She looked at him again, yeah she could see him as the poster boy for safe snuggling. She saw that eyebrow raise up, "I don't bite, my adopted sister would not approve of me biting her guests" Rekha smiled broadly, she was many things, and adaptable.

"I think they make a good couple, he's got strength that she does not, she has a calm that he doesn't. They complete each other" Rekha set back, yes she was happy for her sister Rianna. "I have to be careful who I talk to, between family and work it gets dangerous and questionable when people approach. You needed a friend, so did I , so here we are." Rekha was much like her sister she touched without thinking, Rekha put her hand on Josh, "You're safe with me, promise"

Rekha looked over, at Leori she finally had a smile on her face. "You know a bunch of you Jedi always seem so....grim, why is that?"

 

[Rianna Organa]

@[member="Ordo"]

Rianna stood up and clapped, "Woohoo" She laughed as she he came closer picking her up, whispering sweet things in her ear, she whispered back, "I agree" then she gave him a hungry look, that she knew would have to wait.

"I think some of your friends are waiting to drink with you my love, perhaps you should go over and perk them up. I don't want them to think they are losing you to me. I can visit with some of the others." Rianna stroked his cheek, "I loved the song thank you" She stared into the beautiful eyes, his soul open to her and so complete, "We have all night to celebrate." Its not that she wanted to get rid of him she would hold him tightly to her here, but this was a mandalorian party and it was beginning to sound like an Alderaan dinner party.

"What do you think ner runi" she whispered, kissed him, "ner ka'rta" kissed him again, "ner riduur"

Talon Vosra, the jedi, the myth, the Zelosian love muffin, saw his favorite Master talking to the Bartender did what any good wing man would do. He hopped the bar and waved the woman and Master away.

He didn't drink but he figured he could mix something that could work on everyone else. Besides if he was being useful the big Man-ape might not try and kill him today.

 

[Ordo]

@[member="Rianna Organa"]

"Alright love go talk about us men while we make fools of ourselves." He said with a wink. "I have some trouble to make anyway."

With a kiss Ordo parted and took a big bottle out of a case of gifts and headed for @[member="Emberli Garett"]. He walked up planted a kiss on @E'vi Sohl 's head and set the Bottle of Bourbon down in front of the Bear.

"Thanks for given the fish a break, boyo." Ordo said. As he looked for Cade. "Don't let the girl get away with anything."

 

[Carbon]

Between a bottle of Whyren's and a bottle of bourbon, well... Em was set for the evening. A good, solid evening of not having to remember @[member="Ordo"] singing. "Eh, fish know where I am anymore. I just do it cause it eases the mind." Taking a heavy drag from his vice, he exhales a lazy cloud of smoke into the air in front of him.

Swirling the Whyren's around in his glass, his shifted his gaze towards @[member="E'vi Sohl"] and snorted. "Trust me, she ain't gettin' away with anything. Not even her clothes." There was a long pause as he seemed to register what he'd just said. "And that was out loud." He deadpans.

Shaking his head like it hadn't fazed him, he settled back in the chair. Raising his glass faintly, he gives the man the barest hint of a smile. "Congratulations, by the way."

 

[Ordo]

@[member="Emberli Garett"] @E'vi Sohl

Ordo nodded and poured a drink before taking a sip.

"Don't do anything Buir wouldn't girl." He said before nodding to the bear and heading to harass @[member="Strider Garon"].

"Strider!" He yelled "its time for your Meds!"

He called as he made his way to @[member="Mia Monroe"] and the Hound of Keldabe.

 

[Verz Horak]

@[member="Arla Balor"]

"Yes, you will, if you get it right." Verz smiled as Arla got up to get them food. The wedding was fun so far. The Alderaanians seemed to be enjoying themselves, even though they were on an 'uncivilized' world. It was funny to hear their reactions to Mandalorians being themselves. One Alderaanian man was trying to figure out what a Mando meant when he said one thing and the Mando was getting exasperated. It was funny in its own way.

And then Ordo started singing. Shabla could the old buir sing. The lyrics were crude but they were good lyrics. No wonder Ordo wanted Cade to cover his ears, though the boy would learn one way or another about these things in the future. Then Arla came back, woth plates full of food. Delicious. Verz poured her a drink, some nectre'gal, home brewed at the Oyu'baat. "Your prize, if you gess right, is whatever you want it to be."

 

[Strider Garon]

"Elek baar'ur @[member="Ordo"]!" Strider replied with a smile as he gripped the drink and gave the newly wed a private cheer "Always looking out for my best interest. And with you out of the game, leaves the playing field wide open for this old hound, eh!"

 

[Kiskla Grayson-Matteo]

Beyond the brazenness of his voice, Kiskla could detect a sincerity about the startling spacer. That was the only reason Kiskla slowed her path toward Mandalore, and turned to look over her shoulder. There was more effort to his step than a casual stroll someone his size often paced themselves at. How long had he been planning that dip? Since the invitation?
It was funny. For someone who was so acutely manipulative of the mental realm, she appeared unable to read into the present situation. She could, of course, delve into his mind but that would deprive her of hearing him explain himself. She bit her lip and glanced at the twisting vines around the venue's exterior.

The click of her heels stopped, and she turned, her scarred back now facing the shuttles but a few meters away.

Curiosity caught the cat's attention; but could it be kept? Kiskla was an emotional person, but in the sense of pride and temper; not in the chick-flick sort of way. Though, she shouldn't assume @[member="Marcello Matteo"] was swept up in some emotional mirage that he'd now have to explain. He was far too practical and resolved for that.

She ran her fingers through her hair, finally letting the strands he had tangled fall loose once more, and sighed expectantly.

"I would have never expected you to put on a show."

 

[Arla Ordo]

If she got it right, "Well if we are on the ship we are alone, are you wanting to" She smiled even as her cheeks turned red, "spend the night dancing with me? All alone" She couldn't come right out and say what she was thinking, it might shock her buir and his new wife.

Arla reached over taking her drink, "is that it Verz'ika?" She whispered to him, she did not know if she was right or wrong but it was as good a guess, or wish she wasn't sure which that she could come up with.

[Evi Sohl]

@[member="Ordo"] @[member="Emberli Garett"]


E'vi couldn't help but smile at her buir as he came over and kissed the top of her head. She took a sip from her glass, and endeavored to look as innocent as possible as he instructed Em to not let her get away with anything. She tilted her head and batted her lashes at him before flashing a wicked grin and taking another sip.

She'd have retorted, then, but her crimson gaze met Emberli's and she arched a delicate brow. It was a good thing she'd swallowed the Whyren's that had been warming her mouth and tongue, because she wasn't entirely sure of her self control right then. There was a decidedly wicked edge to the smile she cast at the man seated beside her, letting her gaze linger for a moment as her mind debated if he'd meant it the way she was half a bottle of Whyren's into hoping he did.

Casting her crimson gaze to ensure her son was not within earshot, she retorted with a decidedly wicked tone. "Oh buir...we both know that's exactly what I'm going to do...so thank you for the liquid assistance." E'vi purred, flicking a finger against the bottle of bourbon he'd left on the table as she returned her gaze to Ordo first and then to Em.

Belatedly, she realized she'd purred and she immediately blamed the Whyren's.

And then took another sip, draining what remained in her glass.

 

[Carbon]

He'd blame the booze for the slip of his tongue, but he caught her look. There was only way he could mean something like what he'd said; a meaning she'd undoubtedly picked up on. Well... when on Mandalore... raising his glass in toast to himself he downed the last of it and began pouring himself another measure of the hilariously expensive liquor.

But if he'd expected her response to Ordo, it was quickly clear that he hadn't. A vague widening of his eyes, easily missed, was replaced by a tilting of his head towards her as he studied the woman next to him.

Could do a lot worse...

Exhaling another cloud of smoke, he loosened his tie just a measure further. "Well, better get Cade a babysitter."

@[member="E'vi Sohl"]

 

[Evi Sohl]

Fingers poured the last of the Whyren's into her glass, neatly capping the now empty bottle and setting it aside. They'd have to open the bourbon next.

"Already done." she replied after a sip, tilting her head to regard him for several moments. E'vi smiled over the rim of her glass. "He's spending the night with Tessa and her boys. We arranged it yesterday so I could have a night off for the first time in forever."

He chose that moment to wander over and climb into her lap, which led to her setting her glass down. Arms wrapped around her little boy, she kissed into his warm blonde curls with a smile. "There you are Cad'ika...having fun?"

Cade nodded and hugged her back, little voice piping up as he asked about Tessa. "All set, love. I'll come get you tomorrow. Do I need to remind you to behave?" He shook his head and wriggled out of her embrace. He would have raced off at a decent clip if he didn't trip first, but instead he got up and kept going like nothing had happened.

E"vi snorted delicately as she watched him go and then picked up her glass once more.

[Carbon]

@[member="E'vi Sohl"]

Em was a Mandalorian, so even if he wasn't great with kids, he still enjoyed them. There was something about their boundless energy and optimism that he couldn't help but admire. He'd lost his optimism a long, long time ago. Draining his glass again, he set it down and wandered his gaze around the room.

"I'm ready to leave whenever you are. I hadn't anything planned for tonight, but I can tell you I hadn't planned on staying all night."

 

[Evi Sohl]

"Ohh, I had a plan...polish off the bottle of wine waiting for me at home and marinate in a hot bath for a couple of hours. I like this idea much better though." she said softly, the warm purr still sneaking into her tone. Fething whiskey.

"Now works. Cade's..." crimson eyes glanced across the room to find her son in the middle of an impromptu wrestling match with one of Tessa's sons. The older woman caught her gaze and waved, arching a brow as she glanced between the two of them. E'vi simply smiled continued. "...distracted. Tessa's got him. I'm good to go."

Polishing off the whiskey that remained in her glass, she set it down and instead reached for her purse. Frowning, as it was just out of reach of her questing fingers, she got to her feet and leaned over the table to get it. Once in hand, she straightened and turned towards him, her gaze lingering again.

@[member="Emberli Garett"]

 

[Carbon]

@[member="E'vi Sohl"]

She was certainly just as gone as he was, but he liked to think he'd been drinking a little longer. "I'm rather fond of it myself." He agrees while watching Cade decide to wrestle another child. It was somehow amusing though, to see Tessa clearly catch what was going on. Not that he really cared if she knew or not.

Snuffing out his smoke, he stood and adjusted his jacket a bit, weary eyes taking in the still bustling crowd. Weddings; so integral to the Mandalorian life and yet so rare anymore.

It was good to see one in a way. Offering her his arm to take since he knew she was likely a bit further gone than he, Em began leading her from the reception. He stole a last glance at the wrestling boy before snorting. "He's certainly in good hands."

 

[Evi Sohl]

"Tessa's amazing and Cade adores her. No idea what I'd do without her." she smiled softly at the sight, only wincing slightly when Cade took an errant elbow to the head. There'd be a show and tell of new bruises and scrapes tomorrow, no doubt, and he'd be infinitely proud of every one. Yup, definitely her son.

There was no doubt she was further gone than he was. She liked to think she could hold her liquor, but the half bottle of Whyren's she'd put away was having a delightful time proving her wrong as she returned her attention to him. For E'vi, walking in stilettos was sketchy even when she was perfect sober. But now? Even with Em's arm in hers, there was a whole lotta leaning going on.

"Karking hell..." she swore "...unless you want to carry me, hold on a second."

E'vi somehow managed to get the troublesome stilettos off of her feet, hooking the straps over the fingers holding her purse. The other wrapped right back around Em's arm as he continued leading the way.

[Ordo]

@[member="Strider Garon"]

"Pffft, I made the field!" Ordo joked loudly. "I laid it down so you could play on in the house Ordo built!"

They were at it already. There were very dew people who jabbed each other as well as the hound and the farm boy.
