Tygara: Fireball Whiskey

[Elpsis Kerrigan]

Tempest meanwhile, despite being tempted, decided that Siobhan and Tegaea would be most displeased by them getting intimate in front of the young girl. Besides, sand did get everywhere. “I’d rather take you back to my room where there’s no sand and where I can have you all to myself!” It would also shield the kiddies from things which might corrupt them.

[member="Tegaea Alcori"]


Elpsis pouted slightly. In all fairness, Tempest probably had a point. Sand got everywhere. Besides, it was awkward and coarse. Not like the Dahomian's lovely, smooth black skin. Oh, damn, she'd almost used that horrible line! "Hmm. Have me all for yourself, huh? Gonna throw me over your shoulder and drag me to your lair?" she asked cheekily, leaning forward to plant a kiss upon Tempest's lips, whilst grinding against the older woman.


Her hands roamed over the Dahomian's strong, muscular body...then she pulled away. "Oh, darn, seems like it's dinner time. I guess you'll have to wait a bit, darlin'. But don't worry, I'll give you somethin' to remember what I got in store for you." Good taste and decency forbids describing what transpired in the image she broadcast into Tempest's mind, but suffice to say it involved caramel. Then Elpsis gave Tempest's toosh a good smack and sauntered away to the dining table, winking at [member="Nima Tann"].

Everyone was slowly starting to come together for the lunch as the table was prepared by the lovely servants. Sio and her wife, Mrs Alcori, yeah still that because she still didn't know how to act around her, were out of the water with Rio, the adorable little girl she would have a chance to meet very soon. Charlyra and the two servants were having their last rounds of surfing, and Ice was back also with his adorable big face looking at her with excitement. "Here you are. I am so going to ground you." She had the mom voice on again, then added. "It's going to be difficult cleaning all the sand from you. And don't tell me you drank ocean water because your stomach is not that strong." His stomach was rumbling, so she sighed. "You did, didn't you?" Ice, as a confirmation, barked with his excited face. Well, it seemed that he was good for now, and was going to puke later at their home, so ALL GOOD! She laughed, but Ice would get under the meaning. Without anymore banter between them though, she heard Sio's voice and looked at her with a smile. She was inviting her to the table, and apparently her wife wanted to know more things about her. It could be either a good thing or a bad thing, she was going to find out but she was panicking like hell as her panic attack was in full effect. "Coming in a second!" She said, as it would be pretty rude to cut her dialogue with Natoline.

And Natoline and Nima would get their banter together between those moments, so afterwards she nodded to her and said. "I think it's almost time for the lunch, Natoline. Let's not make them wait any longer." And then she stood up from the chair that she was sitting and moved towards the table, not before petting Ice's head of course, no matter how he made her angry sometimes she still loved that huge adorable puppy. "Let's eat, huh? Please don't puke right now." Ice barked again, wagging his tail like a helicopter. One thing he loved more than being rebel was food. And Nima used that a lot when he wasn't listening her. Nodding to Sio and then her wife, she moved towards the chair near them and then sat as everyone was nearly here and ready to eat. Still the music coming from right behind them, it was a good ambiance seeing the whole family coming around. It put a smile on her face and took her mind from all the panic for a while. Next one coming towards the table was [member="Elpsis Elaris"], she has met her and fought alongside her a bunch of times too, not knowing too much about her but knew she was related to Sio from the looks! It seemed like her theory was true. And she winked at her, which Nima replied with a sincere smile and a nod. Now she was sure Elpsis was definitely related to Sio!

"You two look... lovely today." Even though it sounded a bit awkward with a little pause, complimenting was a good start for a conversation, right? And would get her some plus points if Sio's wife wanted to learn about her. Then she turned to Rio, the little girl who was sitting on Sio's lap and was excitedly waiting for the food. "This is Nima." She smiled sincerely. "Nice to meet you! I know you've met Ice. I am his caretaker." She could say she was good with children, having a never-growing up mutated wolf in her household she understood some stuff and things about them. Even though the species were different, it should work the same, right? "Uhmm... So, what did you want to learn about me, Mrs Alcori?" She returned her attention to two. Tegaea, well that name was indeed a beautiful one but it would seem a bit maybe disrespectful directly saying her name? Or she could understand things in a wrong way? Nima logic intensifies! One could see her non stop panic while trying to speak though. This panic was indeed bigger than she's experienced before, intense in a way that she didn't want to fail. She looked at Sio with a smile and open eyes. Her eyes wanted help. She didn't know what to say, what to do, how to act. She was still pretty much nervous but, Sio would know what to do, right? It always happened that way!

Meanwhile Ice was already trying to play with Rio. He was playfully extending his paws towards her. No reason to be scared of him!

Tegaea watched the maid frolic in the water, smiling, then went to sit down and eat. She was now proudly sporting a shell which Rio had given her.
Nima was there, sitting beside her. “Well, I would be interested how you came to meet my wife. I’m not sure I ever asked. I have heard a lot about you of course, but feel free to talk about whatever you wish. We do not often get normal Jedi here, and Ice is so adorable.”
Tegaea was doing all she could to make the Twi’lek feel at home, but perhaps had not grasped the anxiety and doubt Nima was wracked by.

Tempest meanwhile reached the table late with Elpsis. They were holding hands, something Tempest was a bit shy about, not being used to this whole romance thing yet. Of course Harmony decided to chime in.

“By the Goddess, Tempest, if you were any more moon struck you’d be in a crater!” She stood up, balancing a plate on one hand and eating with the other.
“Let it not be said I get in the way of true love!”
Burning with embarrassment, Tempest plopped herself down with Elpsis beside her.

"Yes, just a big puppy, sweetie," Siobhan said indulgently, sitting down at the table alongside Rio. By now the little one would have probably become acquainted with Lacy, who was a big, adorable lizard. "Dig in and eat heartily, sweetie."


Maybe when she was older, Riona would be able to ride the raptor. Smiling brightly, she patted the little one's head and stroked her hair a bit. She chuckled a bit when Harmony trolled her fellow Dahomian a bit. "She has a point. You do look rather starstruck, Tempest. It's adorable. Don't you agree, Lyra?" she asked innocently.


She glanced over towards Tegaea and Nima. "Nima and I first met after Ziost. We became friends then," she said, though she did not elaborate on the circumstances. It had been a grim time for the Twi'lek and she didn't want to draw attention to it unless the Jedi was fine with it.


However, then Siobhan had to contend with a big, sandy wolf suddenly appearing beside her and trying to claim some of the meal. "No, Ice. That's not yours." But he'd already staked his claim and seized some meat for himself. In all fairness, his haste was quite understandable. The big wolf's eyes looked as innocent as could be imagined when he looked at the somewhat cross mistress.

 

[Nima Tann]

After a second of disturbing silence, or it would all be in Nima's head as she was overthinking things again and time seemed to be very slow for her as her panic continued to crawl on her back, she heard her voice and immediately left her thinking space. How did they meet? Well, that seemed so long ago now, even though it had been like months only, she wasn't the same as before and those bad memories were in the deepest dungeons of her mind. Revisiting them again would be painful, but she had enough pain from those events so now thinking about those didn't hurt as before. To answer her question, she started to talk after smiling to Sio as a thank you for leaving the details to her, with a sigh but she felt ready to talk about this subject again, keeping it dark in the dungeons wouldn't help her in the long run if she didn't actually find a good solution for it after all. "As Sio said, we've met first in Ziost. I was getting mind raped by the Host Lord when she came and saved me from a worse fate." The words were easier to say as a lot of time passed, even Nima was surprised how she managed to do that. "Then... I fell unconscious, then was brought to a medbay and learned I lost my ability to walk because of spine damage." She continued. "I was in a wheelchair for a long time. I knew I could just use the Force and enhance myself, but I was too depressed at that time and didn't want to do that, I didn't know what difference would it make for me when I felt too weak. You can say I wandered around like a ghost for a while, effects of the mind rape were still in my dreams, or nightmares... to be exact... I thought bad things. And then one day in the gardens we've met again."

This was the more positive part of the story, after meeting Sio things started to go in a way that she never expected but liked very much. "She helped me to get rid of those effects. She made me feel like I was strong enough to do whatever I wanted. She helped me through this depression... She was everything that I needed. I felt... happy. I regained my confidence back thanks to her, and decided to do things for myself instead of living for someone else's cause. I wanted to thank her and invited her to my house for a meal. And I think you know the rest of the story after that..." Re-telling her story was indeed helpful as she felt some pressure just has been lifted from her shoulders, with that, and Tegaea's friendly tone, the panic was slowly disappearing too so she could talk in a more relaxed tone. But she could feel the slight hints here and there. "I am sorry if I am mumbling too much, Mrs Alcori... It's still very awkward for me... " She added with a smile which looked a bit sad. No matter how she was prepared for them, they were still very unpleasant memories after all. But she actually thought Sio being there was helping her a lot to express herself more clearly and confidently. "So I can say that... I am not an ordinary Jedi, far from it. I actually think most of the Jedi Masters think I will bring destruction to the Temple or something." She softly laughed, two could see the difference from the previous Nima and this one, as she was more comfortable with talking now she already started joking around.

Ice, meanwhile, was becoming impatient with the food so he was already on the move trying to claim Sio's food! This behaviour was unacceptable. "I am sorry! Let... me fix that for you!" She said to Sio, then turned to Ice. "Ice." She said in a cold tone. "It's not your food. So, you are not going to eat that. Leave the food alone." When Nima had the serious mom mode on, even Ice didn't dare to be a rebel, so before he could take a bite, he actually put the meat back to the ground looking at it drooling like a sink. "Now apologize to Sio." Ice whimpered first, but then moved a step or two towards her and barked in his goofy tone, trying to bring the puppy act just like he would do to Nima, it always worked on her, so it would work on Sio too right?

Elpsis looked a bit embarrased by the attention, then gave the Dahomian's hand a firm squeeze. She didn't like it when people made fun of her girlfriend...unless she did it, of course! "Ignore them. Y'know they're just totally jealous of you, my Tempest," she declared, emphasising the last two words before planting a kiss on the Amazon's cheek. Hey, that should not hurt the kiddo!


"So, you're my girlfriend's Paddy, huh? Tempest's told me a lot about you," she glanced towards sweet Charlyra. She helped herself to her own plate of food and began to dig in. Fortunately her table manners were a bit less philistine than in the past.

 

[Ria Misrani]

While Si-Si and the other lady talked, Rio who was positioned between the two matriarchs. With Tegaea assisting with her meal, little Rio was able to dig into her bowl of pasta and cheese. Washing it down with a cool cup of blue milk, she was mostly quiet throughout the meal occupied with eating and learning to feed herself. On occasion, she'd turn to either Teggie or Si-S-, the former of which she was finally starting to come around to saying Tegs. When utensils did not work she used her fingers but did her best to try and mimic the two women next to her. Not so surprisingly, Rio had been feeding Ice her veggies, at least the ones she swore had a funny smell to them.

Along the table, Lyra, Kyla and G'Wynn chatted with Bo'Sara and Chesna. As it figured, Kyla was next to Bo, who was next to Chesna, and G'Wynn was next to Kyla and Lyra was next to Elpsis who in turn was next to Tempest and Harmony not too far from her along with the others, [member="Nima Tann"], [member="Natoline Kerrigan"], [member="Tegaea [/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=georgia][SIZE=14px]Alcori"], and of course [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"]. Their part of the table had grown quiet, not too quiet but it felt more like a soft whisper so that all conversations could be heard. Busying themselves with a wonderful 'surf and turf' meal made with local ingredients. Lyra had turned her body so she could hear [member="Elpsis [/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=georgia][SIZE=14px]Elaris"] better, taking a drink of her own cup of blue milk. The padawan dabs her face clean and replies to the younger of the Kerrigan clan. "Yes, I am Tempest's Padawan, but I don't believe you and I have had the chance to really talk, Elpsis." She confirmed and looked over to see Ice pull off Sio's plate. "Ice."

Lyra's voice somehow found the 'mom' voice, and he just looked like, 'oh-man-how-much-trouble-am-I-in' and she nudged G'Wynn. He had already apologized! Ice just wasn't sure what else to do now. G'Wynn looked and kind of rolled her eyes and said. "At this rate, I'll need to restock on my tonitran jerky tomorrow, here." Which explained more of how Lyra was able to get Ice to stay so still on her surfboard. "Ice, c'mere boy." The dog with his head lowered walked around to her, and Lyra fed him some jerky. Scratching the dog behind his ears she gave him a big kiss on his forehead, he barked with excitement and she sent him back.

He was still chewing on his piece of jerky as he went to lay at his master's feet.

Rio was still figuring out utensils and using them properly, although she was getting help from Tegs. Bo'Sara rose from the table. "Chesna did yew bring the sweets?"

"Of course." She replied to the twi'lek.

The twi'lek moved toward the basket and with both Harmony and Chesna's assistance they began to set up dessert. Kyla and G'Wynn volunteered to help clean up dinner and also rose from the table. It was in the middle of the change between dinner and dessert, that a small blonde woman could be seen approaching. Lyra looked up over between the ladies in front of her to see that it was Neve. Returning from her assignment to fetch a lab result, there seemed to be a very serious look on her face and a datapad in her hand. "Countess Kerrigan, this is for you. These are the lab results, legal work up, and if I understood correctly the entire work up that you asked for, um." She leaned over and whispered. "Riona." Neve excused herself and headed for the pile of girls opposite of Siobhan.

"Did I miss dinner?" Neve asks as she moves toward Lyra who got up to kiss her on the cheek. "Is, is that extra plate for me?"

Lyra nodded. "Yes." A hand covering her mouth as she was still chewing. "I saved you a dinner plate, and dessert is about to get started."

G'Wynn and Kyla looked at each other as they returned from disposing of waste. "Awww, you guys are so cute," Kyla commented.

"You saved her a plate, such a girlfriend thing to do," G'Wynn added.

"Guys, it doesn't mean anything." Neve countered as she took G'Wynn's seat, G'Wynn who bumped her butt next to Neve's. "She just knew that I'd be hungry coming back, alright?" The blonde was becoming defensive about the status of her relationship with the padawan.

Kyla just rolled her eyes, "uh huh, yeah okay. We're not blind Neve, Lyrie."

"I just... care, that she gets - something to eat." Lyra practically machine-gunned out as she grabbed her cup of blue milk, chugging it as if it had been one of the harder liquors from Sio's collection. "Thisdoesnotmeananything." She added mid-chug.

"Yeah okay but no amount of blue milk is gonna cover up that blush," G'Wynn added leaning back to poke Lyra in the side. "You should be honest, about your relationship."

And simultaneously, Neve and Lyra. "We're not in a relationship."

It was loud enough that it seemed to startle most of the women gathered at the table. Mostly, since Rio was eagerly awaiting her serving of cupcake and cookies while she thanked Bo'Sara for the refill of blue milk.

 

[Mishel Kryze]

Desserts were served one by one just as each person had completed their dinner. Lights were set down on the grounds of where they ate. The sun had gone down and the moon now greeted the ladies Firemane. Rio managed her spoon well enough but at some point just gave into using her fingers no matter how much Teggie tried to assist her. This only led to Chesna cleaning her up, and then a few of Chesna's friends had arrived from the launch pad all with beautifully carved items in their hands. Rio was confused for a moment and moved to watch as they set up somewhere behind the table.

No more than three foot five, the girl with dirty blonde hair watched as Chesna's friends began to play music. No more were they going to listen from a holo device, no they were going to have live music! Rio clapped and she clapped along in time with the rhythm. Chesna got around to showing Rio how to do a little dance to the music, and it would seem that little Rio was a pretty fast learner. Light on her feet they said.

A sound akin to dueling violins began to kick up.

She danced beside Chesna and looked to see the other ladies of Firemane clapping along cheering her on. Ice even got in on the dancing, which made the young girl laugh. She laughed when he came face to face with the sand, she even scratched behind his ears and invited him to dance with her. The young girl then looked for her Si-Si and her Teggie, and ran toward them both pulling them by the hands, and to each she said. "You dance, you dance too!"

[Tegaea Alcori]

[member="Riona Kerrigan"] [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] [member="Nima Tann"]

(Very quick post to keep things moving, apologies if I missed anyone, more detailed post when I'm back.)

Tegaea was more than a little surprised by Nima’s openness. Usually people didn’t reveal such personal details to a stranger, even if said stranger was close to another friend of theirs. Still, she nodded.
“Well, I’m glad that you were able to help each other. You’ve been a good example to many, and you’ve done your job nobly,” she told the Twi’lek.

Before she could say more a little ball of Rio energy came to her and pulled her up.
“Fancy a dance, Siobhan?” she asked. Her wife though was reading something, and something important by the looks of it.

Tegaea looked down at Rio and smiled. “Come on, little lady, Si-Si is a bit busy, so why don’t you dance with me?”

It was slightly awkward dancing with someone half your height, but Tegaea was not anti-fun, so she enjoyed it as a chance to let her hair down. Though, in point of fact, he hair was still tightly in a ponytail behind her head.

Meanwhile Tempest blushed as Elpsis claimed her publically, but fortunately she was able to shift the embarrassment over to Lyra and Neve.
“Hey, there’s nothing wrong with you two being together. You’ll make a good couple!” she teased her padawan gently.

Elpsis grinned broadly. She'd enjoyed staking her claim. Besides, she had Lyra and Neve to troll now. Chesna had taught her well. "I think you're sooo cute. Lyra's totally into you," she declared. Little Riona had persuaded Tegaea to dance, Siobhan was reading some sort of official looking papers. Elpsis felt like joining.


"C'mon, dance with me," she ordered Tempest and grabbed her girlfriend's hand, pulling her up. A good Firemane took charge. "Hey, Nima, wanna join?" Was she on first name basis with the Twi'lek? Eh, whatever. Elpsis did not like Jedi, but this one seemed nice and cool instead of stuffy. Besides, she had her own wolf, which was all sorts of rad.

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

[member="Tegaea Alcori"], [member="Nima Tann"], [member="Charlyra Araano"],


"You're a lovely woman, Nima. I'm privileged to consider you my friend," Siobhan spoke softly after the Twi'lek had told her story. She was happy that the woman had moved past the trauma that had been inflicted upon her on Ziost.


And gotten out of the Netherworld. She glanced over to Ice and petted the big wolf, letting him know she was not angry with him. He was too cute for anyone to stay cross with him for long. However, she soon got sidetracked when Neve showed up.


There was a serious look on the woman's face when she handed the Countess a datapad. "Thank you, Neve," Siobhan said. She tried to hide it, but but her nerves were going into overdrive. Now she would get all the details about Rio's family and her next of kin. This was good...but it would also mean that the girl would leave them. Siobhan really did not want her to go.


Charlyra was being trolled a lot, then little ball of energy called Riona came at both Siobhan and Tegaea. "Dance with Teggie, sweetie. I'll join you in a bit," Siobhan said a bit distractedly, giving them both a smile while she read through the information on the 'pad. However, the smile soon vanished. She looked dumbfounded, then utterly shocked and finally rather cross. "Neve, is this some kind of joke? I do not appreciate trolling about serious matters. Where are the real lab results?"

 

[Ria Misrani]

Neve with a mouth half-full of food chewed very quickly and washed it down with a bit of bubbly. "Those are the real results, m'lady." She swallowed hard and grabbed her napkin dabbing it. "All I know is that you had been waiting for these results for a long time and that they were very, very important." She also wanted to remind her boss' boss' boss that she was just the pee-on. The lowest rung on the ladder, but it didn't feel appropriate, tensions were rather high at the moment.

The table seemed to go quiet, and all attention was drawn to Siobhan and then Neve. Lyra cleared her throat, "I care for Neve a great deal, but we're still friends Elpsis, Mistress." She directed her attention toward Tempest, hoping to alleviate some of the tension around the table.

"I also signed a non-disclosure agreement that pretty much threatened to flip my life around, if even I so much as peeked at what was on that pad." There, she said it. Neve threw it out there for what it was worth. She'd be torn into pieces, "if you feel they are incorrect, I can run them back to the lab?"

[member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] | [member="Elpsis Elaris"] | [member="Nima Tann"]

 

[Nima Tann]

She realized that Sio's wife was a bit... maybe, shocked?, as she was telling her tale. She was a master of catching the change in people's expressions so she would easily see that. A bit panicking because she felt she did something wrong, she looked around with a smile, maybe Tegaea wasn't expecting such a long tale, or maybe she was sad for the girl, she wouldn't know. The only thing she knew was Tegaea still had the friendly tone in her voice, so Nima took it as a... success, kinda?, and nodded. "I am glad too, and thank you." She added with a smile. Never lose the smile even though it was a bit forced because of her panicking personality. She would do well with a blanket which she could hide under right now, but they didn't have that service in here. Then she turned to Sio as she heard her talking, and immediately turned to tomato because of her words. She would cry if she wasn't around so much people right now, so she took a deep breath.

"Sio you are turning me red again... I am privileged because you consider me your friend! I am just a Jedi Master who can see the real world after all. No big deal!" She laughed, there was slight sarcasm about the Jedi in her words. Because they liked to live in their perfect fantasy world where everything was perfect. Anyway, before she could say anything else, one of the servants that she didn't see before came with a datapad in her hand, at the same time live music started and Rio, with Tegaea and Ice, started their dance! Yet Sio wasn't interested in the dance as there was something else that seemed to be important. She didn't want to disturb her as she was examining the datapad with such a look. Her attention turned on the ones that was dancing and she watched them with a big grin, almost about to laugh as they all looked they were having very much fun! Especially the adorables Rio and Ice! They looked very cute together, not going by the rhythm at all but still! Then she was called by Elpsis for a dance. She thought a bit for this proposal.

Well, this was a party. She liked dancing, even though she didn't show it that much to outside, but she was dancing occasionally indoors because it calmed her down. And Sio looked like she was doing important work, so she didn't want to get in the way! Lab results were involved in that work, science was indeed a tiring subject. And it didn't look like she was expecting those results. So, she decided she would give dancing a go. Deciding at last, she nodded to [member="Elpsis Elaris"], and stood up from her chair and started to walk towards them. Nodding to [member="Tempest"] as well, she took a deep breath and joined the fun. It was going to be a bit embarassing for herself, but when dancing she would eventually forget those feelings. For Nima, rhythm was very important and she was a perfectionist, so her moves had to be perfect!

Tempest got up to join Elpsis for a dance. She was not that well versed in modern dancing, but she knew enough to give her partner a good time.

Tegaea meanwhile had stopped her dance and looked over at Siobhan. She looked troubled.
“Sio, are you okay? What does it say?” she asked, petting Rio on the head to still her.

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

[member="Tegaea Alcori"], [member="Charlyra Araano"], [member="Nima Tann"]


Siobhan was still utterly convinced that someone was trolling her. It took her a while to gather her thoughts and regain the ability to speak after Neve had said her piece. "I believe you when you say that you're not trying to deceive me, Neve," she said at last.


She glanced over towards Tegaea. "It says complete bollocks," she exclaimed. "According to...this here...Riona is the daughter of Valessia Brentioch and...," she took a breath, "me. How the hell is that supposed to make sense?" Siobhan, no swearing in front of the child. Charlyra is already swearing like a sailor because of you. "I suppose one of our people must've been drunk."

 

[Elpsis Kerrigan]

[member="Tegaea Alcori"], [member="Charlyra Araano"], [member="Nima Tann"]

"Riiight. Just friends," Elpsis was not believing a word of it, but she had Tempest to focus on now. All things considered, the redhead was not a bad dancer. She was certainly better than Siobhan...who completely sucked at it!


Suffice to say she went quite wild. However, it would probably soon become apparent that she was largely interested in getting close to Tempest. Hands roamed over the Dahomian's body, while her soft, warmth breath caressed her neck. Alas, she could not go as far as she really wanted to do because Siobhan and Tegaea would get mad because their kid was around.


"Nima, come over here," she said, reaching out to take the Twi'lek's hand and pull her into their little group. Who knew, maybe she'd let her stroke her lekku! Siobhan was being all serious and angsty, Elpsis was not paying attention! The warmth of Tempest's body was all the distraction she needed.

 

[Tegaea Alcori]

[member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] [member="Nima Tann"] [member="Charlyra Araano"]

Such a revelation was deserving of an out-of-sequence post, just for the sheer comedy and shock value.

Tegaea’s mouth opened, shut, then opened again. “But…how? I mean you…her…I mean…uhh…how can you…?”

The word ‘incompatible’ kept coming to mind. Becoming pregnant was something she had never risked in her marriage to Siobhan.

“This can’t be right, they must have it wrong. You weren’t pregnant, I’d have remembered, and besides, who is this woman?” She looked at Siobhan questioningly.

“Unless Rio is Anakin junior and just conceived via the Force.”

Silence. The whole chosen one thing hadn’t worked out so well last time.

On the other hand, some Eldorai would be extremely pleased as it’d let them cut out the middle man…literally in some cases!

 

[Ria Misrani]

Though the sounds of the live band could be heard throughout the beach, and though [member="Elpsis [/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=georgia][SIZE=14px]Elaris"], [member="Tempest"], and perhaps even [member="Nima Tann"] danced while little [member="Riona Kerrigan"] weaved between them all. Charlyra, Neve, Kyla and G'Wynn remained at the table watching the conversation between [member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] and [member="[/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=georgia][SIZE=14px]Tegaea[/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=14px][FONT=georgia] [/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=georgia][SIZE=14px]Alcori[/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=14px][FONT=georgia]"] unfold with a lot of interest. Even if it was hard to pick out what they were saying over the music, the group of friends were trying to figure it all out from lip reading. Charlyra couldn't make out a lot of words, she was a wee bit distracted by the dancing of her master Tempest and that of Harmony who had joined into the mix while sounds of the live band seemed to get louder as if it were a crescendo.

"I think she said pregnant." Kyla whispered to G'Wynn, "and then drunk, or drunk and then pregnant?"

"Guys, they were tests results," Neve says, still not knowing what all they were for. "Leave it alone, and by the way, the food is amazing is there more?"

"There's always more." G'Wynn pointed to the serving table, Neve didn't waste time as she got up to grab more. Charlyra sat eating her dessert, wondering just how someone managed to dance with so many women at the same time. Her eyes fell to Ice who seemed content enough to 'dance' with Rio and Nima.

"I think I heard force, did she say force or did she say force." Kyla still trying to figure things out.

G'Wynn sighed and grabbed Kyla by the hand. "C'mon you, let's dance."

"I'm still eating."

"The feth you are, c'mon Kylie." G'Wynn remarks with a wink, and with that Kyla is up from the table and heading toward the dance area.

Charlyra meanwhile waits for Neve to sit beside her and then leans over to kiss her on the cheek. Neve is about to melt because it's so sweet but realizes it was a distraction as Charlyra jabs her fork down into the bantha steak. "Oi!" Neve shouts as Lyra keeps her arm up to prevent Neve from getting any closer to it.

Little Rio had indeed been dancing, she'd been dancing like a little spark of ember does around a fire. Twirling this way and that, laughing when Ice seemed to follow her. At one point she'd taken [member="Nima Tann"] away from Elpsis and Tempest, stealing the twi'lekkian Jedi for herself. The music kicked up and she did not notice the seriousness of the discussion going on behind her. Her concern was focused on laughter, dance and the feeling of being lifted by Harmony. The girl squealed with delight and was then passed onto Bo'Sara. Bo held the young girl and brushed her hair out of her face, and in the moment the day caught up with the young girl.

"Me sweet little lamb, are you sleepy?" Bo asked, and Rio only nodded. "Would'ta like fer me to take yew home, then?"

"I want Si-Si and Teggies." The little darlin' answered in the middle of yawn.

The music went through into another round, and Bo'Sara carried the girl toward her mistresses. "Pardon me, your majesties but the wee lamb is all tuckered out." Rio with sleep in her eyes reached out for Siobhan, "ah it would seem she wants to be with yew, m'lady."

And thus, Rio was transferred into Siobhan's arms, while Bo'Sara led the clean up charge.

Eventually, the music pittered out, Chesna and her Eldorai friends began to wrap things up on their end.

[Nima Tann]

A bit reluctant first as she was about to dance and it would be pretty embarassing if she failed, but she was literally pulled into the action by Elpsis and there was no turning back from this point! So, she took a deep breath, and started her moves by hearing the rhythm of the music, first moves were pretty hesitant, yet then, after a few more embarassed moves... She started not to hear the music but feel it, and her moves started to get more and more active. Now she was really dancing! She closed her eyes and let her body do the job instead of thinking, totally leaving herself to the flow of the music.

At one point, she felt like she was pulled away by two small hands and opened her eyes, Rio the adorable little one was holding her hands and trying to dance with her! A huge grin was placed on her face as she joined her little dance. But of course, like every good thing, this little dance had to end as well, as the live music slowly faded into nothingness. She patted her head before Rio was lifted by Harmony and brought back to the table. It was indeed better than she expected, she had fun! After giving Harmony a wink, because they knew each other... very well, she moved back towards the lovebirds. Yep, even though she didn't know them that much, it was too obvious. "Thanks for the little dance. I had so much fun!" She said with a smile, also a bit out of breath because apparently she lost herself too much in the music.

Then, to leave the lovebirds alone as she thought they would appreciate it, she moved back to her seat after a nod. As she returned back to her seat, she immediately realized something definitely was going on back at the table, something more serious than a job maybe. But Rio was there so she didn't ask directly, instead she looked at Sio and then Tegaea curiously and a bit worry could be seen as well, her look saying "What's going on?"
