[ 2014.06.22 00:05:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters from the shuttlepad, wearing Walking Outfit and makes her way to the bar and orders a Rum and Quafe.
[ 2014.06.22 00:06:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emoter emerges from the house and crosses the terrace, heading for the bar. "Evening Luna. It's nice to see you again"
[ 2014.06.22 00:07:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles warmly at Tiger "Hello there" and accepts her drink from the server. "How have you been?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:08:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote returns her smile as he approaches the bar. "Not at all bad, thank you. How about you? Seems like almost a month since we last saw one another"
[ 2014.06.22 00:08:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It has I think. My trade rotation took me quite far a field.
[ 2014.06.22 00:10:12 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote orders himself a glass of white wine, and turns his body to the side, resting on the bar. "Well, it's nice to see you're back, dear. I trust your trade was profitable?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:11:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes. I was very surprised in particular at how successful the garmet shipments were.
[ 2014.06.22 00:11:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Apparently there was a lot of pent up demand among Amarr women for the latest fashions.
[ 2014.06.22 00:11:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Not to mention, Men.
[ 2014.06.22 00:12:22 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Fashion? Really? I have no time for such fravolities. I simply need the odd suit for when I'm not in combat or attending some militia soire"
[ 2014.06.22 00:12:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Tiger, I know I am Amarr but even I need to admit that all work and no play can lead to burn out.
[ 2014.06.22 00:13:46 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote offers a half smile. "You're saying I need to 'play' more? When do I ever get the time?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:14:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > You need to make the time.
[ 2014.06.22 00:14:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I mean date nights are nice and all.
014.06.22 00:14:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But what about the other 6 days, 18 hours of the week?
[ 2014.06.22 00:14:50 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "It's true. Those six days can get very tedious, and rather lonely, truth be told"
[ 2014.06.22 00:15:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > You and Shalee need to make more time for each other *firmly* Even date nights can turn into a rote routine if you allow it, a chore.
[ 2014.06.22 00:16:27 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Date nights a chore? Never!" he sighs. "Well, not for me at least. I get to see her once per week, so I make the most of my time with her. As for making more time for each other, I've suggested it many a time"
[ 2014.06.22 00:16:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her drink, not saying anything.
[ 2014.06.22 00:18:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote picks up his glass. "Why don't we head away from here, Luna; away from the servants and guards etc, and you can tell me about your concerns - I mean your mail"
[ 2014.06.22 00:19:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wrinkles her nose. "Oh, that."
[ 2014.06.22 00:19:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > No, I think here is just fine.
[ 2014.06.22 00:19:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the servants with a warning look.
[ 2014.06.22 00:19:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote quirks a brow. "Very well, then tell me all about it"
[ 2014.06.22 00:20:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > About two weeks ago, i started getting odd messages from Maria.
[ 2014.06.22 00:20:21 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Odd?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:20:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I heard she's doing well with Imperial Outlaws so the tone of the messages surprised me.
[ 2014.06.22 00:20:54 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "What was the tone?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:21:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes, Maria is a silly thing still and hardly has a care in her head for things like nanites, shield particles, armor densities.
[ 2014.06.22 00:21:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her rum and quafe some more.
[ 2014.06.22 00:21:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yet, that's all the last 3 messages have to do with.
[ 2014.06.22 00:22:03 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Nanites, shield particles and densities? And this concerns you?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:22:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The last message then asked about Sansha.
[ 2014.06.22 00:22:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > So yes, my mind started working overtime.
[ 2014.06.22 00:22:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns.
[ 2014.06.22 00:22:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote muses a moment. "Sansha? She's never shown any interest in the Sansha as long as I've known her"
[ 2014.06.22 00:23:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Specifically, whether Nation nanites could infect a capsuleer pilot in pod.
[ 2014.06.22 00:23:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Quite, and she knows I'd kill her first if she did.
[ 2014.06.22 00:23:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I asked Tiberious Thessalonia on the "Summit' about it and he refused to answer.
[ 2014.06.22 00:23:44 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "You're worried she's been possessed, or consumed in some way by horrific powers acting against the purity of the Empire?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:24:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. what prompted my mail to you... "
[ 2014.06.22 00:24:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says in a strained voice "Lord Raholan told me you are flying with Sansha"
[ 2014.06.22 00:24:46 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Me personally?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:24:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Imperial Outlaws"
[ 2014.06.22 00:25:09 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Ahhh, I see"
[ 2014.06.22 00:25:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > So i can only conclude
[ 2014.06.22 00:25:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > She was in a fleet with a Sansha, or more likely a TSF capsuleer"
[ 2014.06.22 00:26:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And is now worried about it.
[ 2014.06.22 00:26:09 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote darts his eyes to a servant, then back to Luna, pausing a moment before speaking. "Did you approach Maria on this subject?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:26:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Not yet, that is the purpose of this visit I admit.
[ 2014.06.22 00:27:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I mean.. yes I have a delivery I procured.
[ 2014.06.22 00:27:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs 'easy enough to do to make sure my time is not a total loss of profit"
[ 2014.06.22 00:27:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "There was I hoping you just wanted to catch up with me..." he teases.
[ 2014.06.22 00:28:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles "Oh silly.. of course, I eniot catching up with you."
[ 2014.06.22 00:29:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But it is difficult to turn off mother mode when one senses a threat to one's offspring
[ 2014.06.22 00:29:49 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "Of course. Well, truth be told, I heard something about Sansha myself, but I didn't deem it serious enough to warrant any concern or further digging"
[ 2014.06.22 00:30:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well.. I know nothing beyond her terse emails so far.
[ 2014.06.22 00:31:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And it seems I won't find anymore else out until she or Lady Lianne return from their patrol.s
[ 2014.06.22 00:31:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly "so let's talk about something else?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:32:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote reaches over and taps the back of her hand with his. "As you wish, but you needn't worry. I'm sure she's fine"
[ 2014.06.22 00:32:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I heard Pieter Tuulinen is with In Exile now?
[ 2014.06.22 00:32:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Tiger.
[ 2014.06.22 00:33:05 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I believe so. I heard someone mention it the other night, not that I've met him personally"
[ 2014.06.22 00:33:45 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I know the name though...." he says in a 'thinking-out-loud' way
[ 2014.06.22 00:37:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Mr. Tuulien... is interesting"
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says this with an odd tone of voice.
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > He will be an asset to the In Exile.
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Interesting? In what way?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Although i wonder if there will be an issue with Pyre being in the same Alliance.
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Did I hear he was an ex-lover of yours at one point?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glares at Tiger.
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You may be thinking of Lieutenant Samira Kermher"
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Although.. I have danced with Mr. Tuulinen."
[ 2014.06.22 00:39:22 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote shrugs. "Maybe that was it. Though I wouldn't hold that against you; you danced with me once before too!"
[ 2014.06.22 00:39:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles "yes, so I have."
[ 2014.06.22 00:40:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I asked him about TSF and the questions Maria was asking when I congratulated him on the move.
[ 2014.06.22 00:40:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > His response... freaked me out which is why I wrote you.
[ 2014.06.22 00:40:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs "and here we are, back again on this topic."
[ 2014.06.22 00:40:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frownsa.
[ 2014.06.22 00:40:57 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I'm a little surprised you didn't mail me first, actually. HAve I ever steered you wrong thus far?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:41:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says faintly "Not yet"
[ 2014.06.22 00:41:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote flashes an impish grin at Tiger.
[ 2014.06.22 00:41:48 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Not yet? That sounds ominous"
[ 2014.06.22 00:42:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh I am in a pessimistic mood.
[ 2014.06.22 00:42:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But Mr. Tuulinen left Pyre due to them flying with TSF I thought.
[ 2014.06.22 00:42:35 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "If it'll make you feel any better, would you like me to talk to Maria? I think she looks up to me in some weird way. Might help.."
[ 2014.06.22 00:42:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes.
[ 2014.06.22 00:42:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Please do.
[ 2014.06.22 00:43:36 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods. "Then it's done. I'll speak to her next time I see her"
[ 2014.06.22 00:46:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Will you have any time to go stationside tonight?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:47:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "That depends a lot on Shalee. We had plans to meet up tonight, but I'm not certain if she'll show"
[ 2014.06.22 00:47:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well if she does, and you don't mind company, let me know? I am in a mood to go out with friends.
[ 2014.06.22 00:48:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "I promise to wait to bring up certain issues until another time"
[ 2014.06.22 00:48:23 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Going out? Wasn't quite what I planned, but you never know. She may be feeling sociable instead - in which case I'd be delighted if you came too, Luna"
[ 2014.06.22 00:48:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Unlike my daughter, i do not blurt the first thing in my mind. Sometimes thoughts rattle in my brain for months before I choose to express them,.
[ 2014.06.22 00:48:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Tiger with a smile.
[ 2014.06.22 00:49:20 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "There are many things we all keep bottled up, I'm sure. There are things weighing on my mind too"
[ 2014.06.22 00:49:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Tiger while sipping her drink "I see"
[ 2014.06.22 00:50:41 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote orders a bottle of wine from the server behind the bar, and offers Luna a top up, by gesturing towards her glass with the bottle.
[ 2014.06.22 00:52:40 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "So what do you do to 'play' Luna? I don't think I've ever really seen you loosen up. Always so collected and outwardly smart"
[ 2014.06.22 00:52:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I garden."
[ 2014.06.22 00:53:04 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Garden? Really?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:53:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote asks for a clean glass from the server and tilts that towards Tiger.
[ 2014.06.22 00:53:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Both.. metamorically, and literally.
[ 2014.06.22 00:53:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The literally is how I relax.
[ 2014.06.22 00:54:12 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Sounds rather dull, actually" he says, as he tips the wine into her clean glass. "But then I guess you don't live in a constant state of war, like we militia folk"
[ 2014.06.22 00:54:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I get my hands dirty, I feel the sun on my face and the wind in my hair.
[ 2014.06.22 00:54:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I feel human.
[ 2014.06.22 00:55:09 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I think that's part of the appeal of date night, actually"
[ 2014.06.22 00:56:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly "true."
[ 2014.06.22 00:56:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs 'let me show you what I mean?'
[ 2014.06.22 00:56:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pulls out her datapad and opens a 'picture file'
[ 2014.06.22 00:56:48 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "You know, I own a small vineyard out...." he trails off, listening to Luna.
[ 2014.06.22 00:58:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > This was my garden when I was just a housewife on Sarum Prime III: Garden on Sarum Prime III
[ 2014.06.22 00:58:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The child in the middle was Maria.
[ 2014.06.22 00:58:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The one on the bottom was Cornelius.
[ 2014.06.22 00:58:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > One of her older brothers.
[ 2014.06.22 00:59:33 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote comes up from the beach, wrapping a sarong around waist as she does so, her hair still wet from a swim. She notices Luna and Tiger and heads over.
[ 2014.06.22 00:59:36 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote cranes over to look at the image on her datapad. "How wonderful. I can see why you feel such a relaxing draw to the garden2
[ 2014.06.22 00:59:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I have always hated Furriers and shows Tiger another picture: Furrier in the Strawberries
[ 2014.06.22 01:00:02 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote looks up and nods his head to Kat as she appears. "Evening"
[ 2014.06.22 01:00:18 ] Katerina Tzestu > Hello Tiger, Luna.
[ 2014.06.22 01:00:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Furrier in Strawberries
[ 2014.06.22 01:00:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote straightens up with a slight start "Hello Kat"
[ 2014.06.22 01:00:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles.
[ 2014.06.22 01:01:49 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles at the image. "Cute little fellow,.. and that's how you un-wind?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:02:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes. I finally have a new garden on Nove Cerra.
[ 2014.06.22 01:02:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And of course.. I garden at the Basilica when I am on Oris for room and board.
[ 2014.06.22 01:03:27 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote grins. "I've not had to pay room and board in years. Militia looks after me... us, huh Kat?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:03:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Nova Cerra guest room adjoining garden *shows Tiger*
[ 2014.06.22 01:03:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles "well good."
[ 2014.06.22 01:05:46 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Alas, I have no pictures of my life away from the warzone, mainly because I don't have one. My life is here, and with Shalee what little chance I get"
[ 2014.06.22 01:06:39 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote chuckles, "Well, what are you two up to?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:07:15 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Luna felt like some company, and came to Cerra to meet up with us"
[ 2014.06.22 01:07:52 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles, "Definitely came to the right place."
[ 2014.06.22 01:08:06 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "How do you figure that?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:08:33 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote indicates herself, "I'm here! And I'm the best company around."
[ 2014.06.22 01:08:49 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote grins cheekily at Tiger.
[ 2014.06.22 01:09:07 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Really? You're up against some tough competition there, Kat"
[ 2014.06.22 01:09:59 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote shakes her head, "It's no contest."
[ 2014.06.22 01:10:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles and picks up his glass, taking a sip of his wine.
[ 2014.06.22 01:18:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances up after staring at the last picture and shows Tiger: Luna in the Basilica Rose gardens by Statue of Empress
[ 2014.06.22 01:19:26 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote pokes her head over Tiger's shoulder, resting her chin lightly on him as she looks at the picture.
[ 2014.06.22 01:20:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote looks to the side as he feels her chin resting on his shoulder. He makes no effort to remove it, but looks back down, studying the image.
[ 2014.06.22 01:20:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote accidently hits a key and another picture comes up Newlywed Luna
[ 2014.06.22 01:21:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote quickly presses "back" and blushes.
[ 2014.06.22 01:21:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Er..and that was my husband's favorite picture of me with my roses..
[ 2014.06.22 01:21:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks slightly discomfited.
[ 2014.06.22 01:22:11 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote averts his gaze as the image of Luna appears on the screen. "I can see why he liked it, Luna" he says reassuringly.
[ 2014.06.22 01:22:24 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote giggles, "We all have 'em."
[ 2014.06.22 01:23:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "Yes, he did."
[ 2014.06.22 01:24:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says more briskly "But you see Tiger, gardening connects me with who i was"
[ 2014.06.22 01:24:22 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Then surely it's who you still are, Luna"
[ 2014.06.22 01:26:40 ] Katerina Tzestu > We all change, Tiger. Even if we become better, that doesn't mean we can't still miss who we were.
[ 2014.06.22 01:27:33 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote steps from the shuttles in a form fitting black pencil-thin skirt with sheer black stockings matched with a white suit in black strim at the collar and sleeve. She saunters over to the bar on her heels.
[ 2014.06.22 01:27:37 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "You know, I'll grudgingly agree with that"
[ 2014.06.22 01:28:14 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote watches Veik saunter across the terrace, then nods his head to her with a smile.
[ 2014.06.22 01:29:02 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote throws a wave at Veiki, "Morning you."
[ 2014.06.22 01:30:26 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote smiles at Tiger and winks at Kat with a grin, "Hello there, strangers. Hope you're not all up to good, hmm?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:31:27 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "The night is still young, my dear"
[ 2014.06.22 01:32:32 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote smirks at Tiger, biting her lower lip as her eyes meet his a moment, "Well. That's no fun, is it?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:34:03 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs, "Don't hate."
[ 2014.06.22 01:35:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Kat "I didn't realize you were here" *in a sheepish voice"
[ 2014.06.22 01:35:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I guess I got so focused in the pictures...
[ 2014.06.22 01:35:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > How are you
[ 2014.06.22 01:36:06 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles, "It's quite alright! And I'm great, you?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:36:35 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote looks from Kat and Tiger to Luna, "I'm not disturbing anything am I? I can just go get a drink alone otherwise."
[ 2014.06.22 01:36:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses and says carefully "Personally, I am fine."
[ 2014.06.22 01:36:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh, hello, CEO Gesakaarin, not at all.
[ 2014.06.22 01:37:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes and says "boy, I was out of it, huh"
[ 2014.06.22 01:37:42 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles. "Actually it was nice to see you relax a little, Luna"
[ 2014.06.22 01:38:50 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote chuckles softly, "Technically, only Chairwoman now, I resigned yesterday. Ah..." She pauses trying to recollect a moment, "Lady Aspenstar, was it, from the summit I believe?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:39:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks "You resigned?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:39:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And yes.. from the Noir actually is where we've met twice"
[ 2014.06.22 01:39:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles at Veikitamo Gesakaarin .
[ 2014.06.22 01:39:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "With Tigerfish here"
[ 2014.06.22 01:39:38 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote offers a small wave.
[ 2014.06.22 01:39:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says in a confidential voice "Tiger can be forgettable I guess"
[ 2014.06.22 01:39:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote winks at Tigerfish.
[ 2014.06.22 01:40:23 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote pouts a little in mock hurt.
[ 2014.06.22 01:41:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Can I inquire as to what happened or is it confidential corporation business?
[ 2014.06.22 01:41:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly.
[ 2014.06.22 01:41:14 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote nods, "Yes. Of course. I'm terrible remembering faces sometimes when I'm in the pod too often. Induced aphasia, I'm told."
[ 2014.06.22 01:42:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly, remaining silent.
[ 2014.06.22 01:43:17 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote smiles at Luna, "We all need a break sometimes don't we? Leaves me more time to pursue what I feel I'm good at."
[ 2014.06.22 01:44:40 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "There was a time, many years ago - and a whole other lifetime ago - when I used to paint. I was really quite accomplished when painting landscapes"
[ 2014.06.22 01:45:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods with understanding at Veik, and tilts her head at Tigerfish "really"
[ 2014.06.22 01:46:29 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods. "You should ask to see the painting I once gave Shalee some time. A painting of Huola from orbit"
[ 2014.06.22 01:46:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh?
[ 2014.06.22 01:47:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles. "Surprised that a blunt militia pilot can paint, Ms Aspenstar?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:48:47 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs, "I'm sure it's not that."
[ 2014.06.22 01:49:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twinkles but remains silent.
[ 2014.06.22 01:49:22 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote darts his gaze to Kat. "I'm only teasin', Kat. It's something that I don't often mention"
[ 2014.06.22 01:49:49 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote chuckles softly to herself, "Why, such an accomplished man, Mr. Tiger."
[ 2014.06.22 01:50:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote looks down at his drink. "I have some uses, away from the perils of battle"
[ 2014.06.22 01:50:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I'd like to see your work sometime Tiger"
[ 2014.06.22 01:51:13 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Most of it still resides where I grew up. The only place, other than my flagship, where you can find any now, is Shalee's suite - or wherever she hung that painting"
[ 2014.06.22 01:51:27 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Perhaps she threw it away, for all I know"
[ 2014.06.22 01:51:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I see."
[ 2014.06.22 01:52:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns to Veik and asks as if an afterthought "oh.. who is your successor CEO, Ms. Gesakaarin?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:52:14 ] Katerina Tzestu > You don't know? I thought you're in there a lot Tiger.
[ 2014.06.22 01:52:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smirks "I doubt he is studing the walls."
[ 2014.06.22 01:52:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks innocent and sips her drink.
[ 2014.06.22 01:52:58 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote frowns as he looks at Kat, giving her a fairly cold look. "I have no idea where she hung it, if anywhere. I've not seen it in a long time"
[ 2014.06.22 01:54:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Besides, Luna's right. Who would study the walls in that position"
[ 2014.06.22 01:54:38 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote offers Luna an sideways glance, "Hmm? Oh. My brother." She then chuckles at Tiger's comment.
[ 2014.06.22 01:55:26 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs, "I'm a little worred about how you know that."
[ 2014.06.22 01:56:45 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I simply don't have the time to paint any more. Like Luna's garden, that part of me seems lost - long ago in the past"
[ 2014.06.22 01:56:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote straightens slightly and glances at Veik "I see. Well i will have to congratulate him. I."
[ 2014.06.22 02:01:26 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote nods, "I'm sure he'll appreciate it, Ms. Aspenstar..." She smiles at her, "That is if you don't have him play sommelier, hmm?"
[ 2014.06.22 02:02:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smirks slightly with amusement "Oh I was just putting him through his paces. Men like to show off."
[ 2014.06.22 02:02:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And have an opportunity to do so... it was a humanitarian act on my part."
[ 2014.06.22 02:03:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Tiger a sidewise glance and then smiles at Veik "he knows his wines."
[ 2014.06.22 02:03:25 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs.
[ 2014.06.22 02:04:15 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote picks up his glass, tilts it away and studies the side of his glass. "It shows refinement to know ones' wines"
[ 2014.06.22 02:06:16 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote says dryly, "Does it?"
[ 2014.06.22 02:06:29 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote smirks at Luna, "Oh my, I suppose we'll never really know if it was you being humanitarian or my brother humouring your desires, Ms. Aspenstar."
[ 2014.06.22 02:06:57 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods at Kat. "Sure it does"
[ 2014.06.22 02:07:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes, Katerina. A man who knows his wines has at least that level of polish and refinement.
[ 2014.06.22 02:08:56 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles, "I'm teasing Tiger."
[ 2014.06.22 02:09:25 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote grins and places his glass back down on the bar. "Why must Kat always tease?"
[ 2014.06.22 02:12:28 ] Katerina Tzestu > Do you seriously have to ask that?
[ 2014.06.22 02:15:42 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "The nature of our relationship I guess" he smiles. "So, ladies, anyone have anything fun planned tonight?"
[ 2014.06.22 02:16:26 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote shrugs, "I was just planning on grabbing a casual drink before doing something fun and exciting."
[ 2014.06.22 02:17:34 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Fun and exciting? Such as what?"
[ 2014.06.22 02:17:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly.
[ 2014.06.22 02:20:58 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > "Well I thought I would celebrate my decreased responsibilities by taking out one of the jets from the hangar at home, entering an low planetary orbit and then conducting an exo atmospheric jump down."
[ 2014.06.22 02:21:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks "Well... we all need to express ourselves in different ways. I'll stay here and watch."
[ 2014.06.22 02:22:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote raises her glass.
[ 2014.06.22 02:24:51 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote laughs and shakes her head, "No, nothing so grand. Okay, I'll admit it, I was probably going to go back to my quarters and watch some old movies."
[ 2014.06.22 02:25:29 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote sighs. "I'm not sure if I can bothered with the warzone tonight"
[ 2014.06.22 02:26:46 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I may just take a walk along the shore instead, perhaps a swim at some point. How was the water?" he asks, looking over at Kat.
[ 2014.06.22 02:27:30 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles, "It was great, actually."
[ 2014.06.22 02:34:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well... I am up for some music and drinks.
[ 2014.06.22 02:34:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *shrugs*
[ 2014.06.22 02:35:09 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles and nods his head. "I have no idea why, but I'm enjoying white wine tonight"
[ 2014.06.22 02:40:07 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote appears absent for a moment as a flicker of indigo dances across the usually grey iris of her left eye. "Hmm. Well. It seems I'm required elsewhere. Duty calls." She offers an apologetic bow.
[ 2014.06.22 02:40:35 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote gives Veik a quick wave. "Have fun"
[ 2014.06.22 02:41:15 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote winks at Tiger, "I'm a girl that always knows how to have fun, dear, don't you worry."
[ 2014.06.22 02:41:44 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I'll take your word for it"
[ 2014.06.22 02:42:22 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote chuckles and turns to make her way back to the shuttlepad.
[ 2014.06.22 02:45:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Have a good night Ma'am.
[ 2014.06.22 02:45:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote waves sligthly.
[ 2014.06.22 02:53:49 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote steps out onto the terrace wearing a turquoise sundress tied around the back of her neck, showing off her tan. Her hair is in ringlet curls and brushes against her shoulders. Silver sparkles around her wrists, matching dangling earrings.
[ 2014.06.22 02:54:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns from Tiger and Kat and waves at Shalee in greeting.
[ 2014.06.22 02:54:26 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote waves at Shalee as she walks in.
[ 2014.06.22 02:54:40 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote follows Luna's gaze and smiles as he spots Shalee approaching. "Evening, Shalee!"
[ 2014.06.22 02:57:09 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote smiles, her dimples deepen, "Evening Tiger." She nods to both Luna and Kat, "Evening girls." She makes her way over to Tiger and slides into his lap. She picks up his wine glass and takes a sip, "Nice choice."
[ 2014.06.22 02:57:37 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs.
[ 2014.06.22 02:58:04 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote slips his hands around her, holding her carefully on his lap as she drinks from his glass. "It's about the finest white your bar stocks. What better vintage?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:00:31 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote slips an around his shoulder, "That is true." She smiles to Kat and Luna, "What are you two up to tonight?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:03:27 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles and leans forward, kissing her shoulder softly. "The question, dearest Shalee, is what are we up to tonight?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:03:29 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote shrugs, "Teasing Tiger about knowing his wines."
[ 2014.06.22 03:03:47 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote sighs. "It's true. They were mocking me!"
[ 2014.06.22 03:03:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Tiger and Shalee and decides to say in a cheerful voice "yep!"
[ 2014.06.22 03:06:54 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote "He knows his stuff." She motions to the bartender to refill Tiger's glass after she finishes off the wine. She absently plays with his hair, trailing her manicured nails through it, "So what do you have planned for us?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:08:52 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote thinks for a moment. "I was debating taking you to a bar; somewhere we can drink, dance, just relax together, before heading home for the night - but I'm not up on the current social scene. I have no idea of where's the 'in' place"
[ 2014.06.22 03:09:49 ] Shalee Lianne > I thought you were going to plan something for us!
[ 2014.06.22 03:10:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances back between the two of them.
[ 2014.06.22 03:11:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > giggles slightly "well the Noir is still popular to the wider capsuleers... and Grape is busy for us Empire folk."
[ 2014.06.22 03:12:16 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles at Luna. "I want somewhere I can get Shalee drunk, dance the night away,.... etc. Nowhere too quiet"
[ 2014.06.22 03:13:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The Noir does have music.
[ 2014.06.22 03:13:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *darkly* Maria went to a club called the Succubus
[ 2014.06.22 03:13:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > apparently that place had music too.
[ 2014.06.22 03:13:58 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote frowns. "The Noir, Shalee? Of should we just chill here tonight?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:14:19 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote "So the usual. Drinks and a lot of sex?" She rolls her eyes, though her expression is playful.
[ 2014.06.22 03:15:35 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "You know that's my preferred option, but I want to be considerate to your need to not always be dragged off to bed"
[ 2014.06.22 03:16:03 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote sighs, "Men..."
[ 2014.06.22 03:16:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rolls her eye.
[ 2014.06.22 03:19:39 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote "Mmm. Well. We can skip the pleasantries if you must." She shrugs.
[ 2014.06.22 03:20:26 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote grins. "What would you like to do, Shalee? I'm willing to do anything you want tonight"
[ 2014.06.22 03:21:38 ] Shalee Lianne > It doesn't matter.
[ 2014.06.22 03:22:36 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote frowns for a moment, looking back to Luna and Kat. "Shalee, can I ask you something?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:23:04 ] Shalee Lianne > Yes?
[ 2014.06.22 03:24:06 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Where's that painting I gave you? The one of Huola, painted from orbit. Luna was surprised that I used to paint, and I told her about the painting, but wasn't sure where it was - if you even kept it"
[ 2014.06.22 03:24:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Shalee.
[ 2014.06.22 03:25:37 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote looks to Luna, "Why were you surprised? Tiger is a man of many talents." She glances up to the manor house, "It is in the sitting room off of my bedroom. You can take her up and show her if you'd like."
[ 2014.06.22 03:26:34 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "There's no rush, of course. It just made me wonder where it was" he smiles. "I'm glad you kept it"
[ 2014.06.22 03:27:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles "well I plan to visit for a few days, so when you have time Tiger. Not now"
[ 2014.06.22 03:27:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Tiger a meaningful look "You have someone else you need to pay attention to right now"
[ 2014.06.22 03:27:41 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head to Luna. "Then certainly, some time over the next few days"
[ 2014.06.22 03:28:41 ] Shalee Lianne > No. I insisit. Please go on and show her.
[ 2014.06.22 03:28:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am thirsty for a drink.. and some dancing.
[ 2014.06.22 03:29:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles slightly.
[ 2014.06.22 03:29:54 ] Shalee Lianne > It would take all of five minutes?
[ 2014.06.22 03:30:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Tiger.
[ 2014.06.22 03:30:36 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head, and pats Shalee's side as she continues to sit on his lap. "If you insist, Ms Lianne"
[ 2014.06.22 03:32:02 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote slides out of his lap and moves around the bar. She pours her own drink and adds a slice of strawberry to it.
[ 2014.06.22 03:32:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rises and prepares to follow Tiger "We'll be right back"
[ 2014.06.22 03:32:40 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote gets up and looks questioningly at Shalee for a moment, before heading towards the house with Luna.
*** enters the Manor***
[ 2014.06.22 03:35:01 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote escorts Luna through the large doors into Shalee's suite, then through towards the sitting area.
[ 2014.06.22 03:35:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > ((luna's not bringing up TSF until she speaks with Maria so her not talking to kat/shalee yet is on purpose))
[ 2014.06.22 03:35:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote follows Tiger to the sitting area, glancing as she goes.
[ 2014.06.22 03:36:50 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote pushes open the door to the sitting area, and glances around, looking for his painting.
[ 2014.06.22 03:36:56 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Should be around here somewhere"
[ 2014.06.22 03:37:19 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote spots it on the wall, and heads directly toward it. "So what do you think?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:37:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > (( http://www.alicefunnews.com/_Media/alien_planetsjpeg-0e104-168_med.jpeg ))
[ 2014.06.22 03:38:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote studies the painting and murmers "oh wow"
[ 2014.06.22 03:40:08 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles. "I'm pleased you like it, Luna. It took some time to get it right, actually"
[ 2014.06.22 03:40:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at her datapad and says firm;y "and now we've been five minutes,. We need to go back. You musn't leave Shalee waiting"
[ 2014.06.22 03:41:00 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "Thank you for showing me your pictures earlier, Luna. I enjoyed them immensely"
[ 2014.06.22 03:41:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles.
[ 2014.06.22 03:41:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well..." *awkward pause* let's go back down to the Terrace.
[ 2014.06.22 03:42:12 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote turns towards the door, leading Luna towards the terrace again
**back to the Terrace
[ 2014.06.22 03:34:03 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote orders a glass of wine and looks at Shalee, "So what's up?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:34:49 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote shrugs lightly, "Looks like not much." She laughs.
[ 2014.06.22 03:35:11 ] Katerina Tzestu > Everything okay?
[ 2014.06.22 03:37:17 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote sighs, "I don't know." She takes a long sip of her drink, "I was hoping for something exciting, different, or well, anything that shows he put some effort into our date night. He doesn't have a clue."
[ 2014.06.22 03:39:25 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote frowns, "I'm sorry."
[ 2014.06.22 03:41:29 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote laughs a low sound in the back of her throat. "It doesn't matter."
[ 2014.06.22 03:43:25 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote heads back down the steps from the house, having just shown Luna his painting.
[ 2014.06.22 03:43:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote follows and says to Shalee "wow that was amazing, You are so lucky he gave that to you. To see such beauty every morning must warm the soul."
[ 2014.06.22 03:45:58 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote smiles prettily to Luna. "Yes. I'm very lucky. Maybe he will paint one for you too?" She looks to Tiger, "I'm sure she would appreciate it."
[ 2014.06.22 03:46:43 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote arrives at the bar and rests both hands on the surface. "I hardly paint anymore, Shalee. You know that. I'm too caught up in affairs of the Empire"
[ 2014.06.22 03:46:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shifts slightly on her feet and takes a seat that positions Tiger on away from her on the other side of Shalee and Kat.
[ 2014.06.22 03:51:02 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote "Mmhmm. I'm sure you can find the time here or there. You can't be that busy, can you?" She arches a brow, "Though I really don't know how you spend your off duty time anymore."
[ 2014.06.22 03:53:38 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "That's because I only really get to see you on date night, Shalee. What free time I have is usually spent here, or with you. I hardly leave the grounds when I'm not flying into combat"
[ 2014.06.22 03:54:29 ] Shalee Lianne > Of course.
[ 2014.06.22 03:54:46 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote takes a sip of wine, and glances over at luna.
[ 2014.06.22 03:55:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her glass of wine, staring at the stars absent mindedly.
[ 2014.06.22 03:55:25 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote quirks a brow. "And you, dearest Shalee... How do you spend your free time these days?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:56:12 ] Shalee Lianne > I run a corporation. You remember what that is like, do you not?
[ 2014.06.22 03:56:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Yes, of course. I ran UPAY for nine years. I remember it all too well. Didn't leave me with much free time, as I recall"
[ 2014.06.22 03:57:46 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote takes a big drink of her champagne, "Mmhmm."
[ 2014.06.22 03:59:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote bites his lower lip thoughtfully. "Actually, I'd quite like to paint you, Shalee. If you'd be willing?"
[ 2014.06.22 04:00:11 ] Shalee Lianne > Sure.
[ 2014.06.22 04:02:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote offers Shalee his hand. "So, wanna go hit Noir lounge and get drunk?"
[ 2014.06.22 04:02:42 ] Shalee Lianne > I'm game for anything.
[ 2014.06.22 04:03:54 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote keeps his hand outstretched. "I want to dance with you, smoke cigars and get drunk"
[ 2014.06.22 04:04:18 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote slips her hand into his.
[ 2014.06.22 04:05:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles.
[ 2014.06.22 04:05:15 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote gives her hand a gentle squeeze and pulls her away from the bar. "Luna, Kat. You guys want to join us?"
[ 2014.06.22 04:06:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Sure!"
[ 2014.06.22 04:07:02 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote nods, "It'd be nice to get out for a bit."
[ 2014.06.22 04:07:45 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote leads Shalee to the shuttle pad, hand in hand.
[ 2014.06.22 04:08:01 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote follows along beside him.
[ 2014.06.22 04:08:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote walks with Kat behind them,
[ 2014.06.22 00:05:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters from the shuttlepad, wearing Walking Outfit and makes her way to the bar and orders a Rum and Quafe.
[ 2014.06.22 00:06:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emoter emerges from the house and crosses the terrace, heading for the bar. "Evening Luna. It's nice to see you again"
[ 2014.06.22 00:07:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles warmly at Tiger "Hello there" and accepts her drink from the server. "How have you been?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:08:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote returns her smile as he approaches the bar. "Not at all bad, thank you. How about you? Seems like almost a month since we last saw one another"
[ 2014.06.22 00:08:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > It has I think. My trade rotation took me quite far a field.
[ 2014.06.22 00:10:12 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote orders himself a glass of white wine, and turns his body to the side, resting on the bar. "Well, it's nice to see you're back, dear. I trust your trade was profitable?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:11:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes. I was very surprised in particular at how successful the garmet shipments were.
[ 2014.06.22 00:11:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Apparently there was a lot of pent up demand among Amarr women for the latest fashions.
[ 2014.06.22 00:11:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Not to mention, Men.
[ 2014.06.22 00:12:22 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Fashion? Really? I have no time for such fravolities. I simply need the odd suit for when I'm not in combat or attending some militia soire"
[ 2014.06.22 00:12:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Tiger, I know I am Amarr but even I need to admit that all work and no play can lead to burn out.
[ 2014.06.22 00:13:46 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote offers a half smile. "You're saying I need to 'play' more? When do I ever get the time?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:14:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > You need to make the time.
[ 2014.06.22 00:14:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I mean date nights are nice and all.
014.06.22 00:14:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But what about the other 6 days, 18 hours of the week?
[ 2014.06.22 00:14:50 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "It's true. Those six days can get very tedious, and rather lonely, truth be told"
[ 2014.06.22 00:15:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > You and Shalee need to make more time for each other *firmly* Even date nights can turn into a rote routine if you allow it, a chore.
[ 2014.06.22 00:16:27 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Date nights a chore? Never!" he sighs. "Well, not for me at least. I get to see her once per week, so I make the most of my time with her. As for making more time for each other, I've suggested it many a time"
[ 2014.06.22 00:16:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her drink, not saying anything.
[ 2014.06.22 00:18:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote picks up his glass. "Why don't we head away from here, Luna; away from the servants and guards etc, and you can tell me about your concerns - I mean your mail"
[ 2014.06.22 00:19:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote wrinkles her nose. "Oh, that."
[ 2014.06.22 00:19:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > No, I think here is just fine.
[ 2014.06.22 00:19:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at the servants with a warning look.
[ 2014.06.22 00:19:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote quirks a brow. "Very well, then tell me all about it"
[ 2014.06.22 00:20:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > About two weeks ago, i started getting odd messages from Maria.
[ 2014.06.22 00:20:21 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Odd?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:20:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I heard she's doing well with Imperial Outlaws so the tone of the messages surprised me.
[ 2014.06.22 00:20:54 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "What was the tone?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:21:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes, Maria is a silly thing still and hardly has a care in her head for things like nanites, shield particles, armor densities.
[ 2014.06.22 00:21:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her rum and quafe some more.
[ 2014.06.22 00:21:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yet, that's all the last 3 messages have to do with.
[ 2014.06.22 00:22:03 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Nanites, shield particles and densities? And this concerns you?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:22:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The last message then asked about Sansha.
[ 2014.06.22 00:22:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > So yes, my mind started working overtime.
[ 2014.06.22 00:22:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns.
[ 2014.06.22 00:22:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote muses a moment. "Sansha? She's never shown any interest in the Sansha as long as I've known her"
[ 2014.06.22 00:23:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Specifically, whether Nation nanites could infect a capsuleer pilot in pod.
[ 2014.06.22 00:23:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Quite, and she knows I'd kill her first if she did.
[ 2014.06.22 00:23:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I asked Tiberious Thessalonia on the "Summit' about it and he refused to answer.
[ 2014.06.22 00:23:44 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "You're worried she's been possessed, or consumed in some way by horrific powers acting against the purity of the Empire?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:24:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. what prompted my mail to you... "
[ 2014.06.22 00:24:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says in a strained voice "Lord Raholan told me you are flying with Sansha"
[ 2014.06.22 00:24:46 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Me personally?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:24:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Imperial Outlaws"
[ 2014.06.22 00:25:09 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Ahhh, I see"
[ 2014.06.22 00:25:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > So i can only conclude
[ 2014.06.22 00:25:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > She was in a fleet with a Sansha, or more likely a TSF capsuleer"
[ 2014.06.22 00:26:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And is now worried about it.
[ 2014.06.22 00:26:09 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote darts his eyes to a servant, then back to Luna, pausing a moment before speaking. "Did you approach Maria on this subject?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:26:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Not yet, that is the purpose of this visit I admit.
[ 2014.06.22 00:27:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I mean.. yes I have a delivery I procured.
[ 2014.06.22 00:27:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shrugs 'easy enough to do to make sure my time is not a total loss of profit"
[ 2014.06.22 00:27:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "There was I hoping you just wanted to catch up with me..." he teases.
[ 2014.06.22 00:28:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles "Oh silly.. of course, I eniot catching up with you."
[ 2014.06.22 00:29:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But it is difficult to turn off mother mode when one senses a threat to one's offspring
[ 2014.06.22 00:29:49 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "Of course. Well, truth be told, I heard something about Sansha myself, but I didn't deem it serious enough to warrant any concern or further digging"
[ 2014.06.22 00:30:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well.. I know nothing beyond her terse emails so far.
[ 2014.06.22 00:31:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And it seems I won't find anymore else out until she or Lady Lianne return from their patrol.s
[ 2014.06.22 00:31:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly "so let's talk about something else?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:32:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote reaches over and taps the back of her hand with his. "As you wish, but you needn't worry. I'm sure she's fine"
[ 2014.06.22 00:32:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I heard Pieter Tuulinen is with In Exile now?
[ 2014.06.22 00:32:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Tiger.
[ 2014.06.22 00:33:05 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I believe so. I heard someone mention it the other night, not that I've met him personally"
[ 2014.06.22 00:33:45 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I know the name though...." he says in a 'thinking-out-loud' way
[ 2014.06.22 00:37:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Mr. Tuulien... is interesting"
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says this with an odd tone of voice.
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > He will be an asset to the In Exile.
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Interesting? In what way?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Although i wonder if there will be an issue with Pyre being in the same Alliance.
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Did I hear he was an ex-lover of yours at one point?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glares at Tiger.
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You may be thinking of Lieutenant Samira Kermher"
[ 2014.06.22 00:38:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Although.. I have danced with Mr. Tuulinen."
[ 2014.06.22 00:39:22 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote shrugs. "Maybe that was it. Though I wouldn't hold that against you; you danced with me once before too!"
[ 2014.06.22 00:39:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles "yes, so I have."
[ 2014.06.22 00:40:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I asked him about TSF and the questions Maria was asking when I congratulated him on the move.
[ 2014.06.22 00:40:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > His response... freaked me out which is why I wrote you.
[ 2014.06.22 00:40:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs "and here we are, back again on this topic."
[ 2014.06.22 00:40:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frownsa.
[ 2014.06.22 00:40:57 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I'm a little surprised you didn't mail me first, actually. HAve I ever steered you wrong thus far?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:41:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says faintly "Not yet"
[ 2014.06.22 00:41:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote flashes an impish grin at Tiger.
[ 2014.06.22 00:41:48 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Not yet? That sounds ominous"
[ 2014.06.22 00:42:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh I am in a pessimistic mood.
[ 2014.06.22 00:42:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > But Mr. Tuulinen left Pyre due to them flying with TSF I thought.
[ 2014.06.22 00:42:35 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "If it'll make you feel any better, would you like me to talk to Maria? I think she looks up to me in some weird way. Might help.."
[ 2014.06.22 00:42:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes.
[ 2014.06.22 00:42:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Please do.
[ 2014.06.22 00:43:36 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods. "Then it's done. I'll speak to her next time I see her"
[ 2014.06.22 00:46:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Will you have any time to go stationside tonight?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:47:18 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "That depends a lot on Shalee. We had plans to meet up tonight, but I'm not certain if she'll show"
[ 2014.06.22 00:47:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well if she does, and you don't mind company, let me know? I am in a mood to go out with friends.
[ 2014.06.22 00:48:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "I promise to wait to bring up certain issues until another time"
[ 2014.06.22 00:48:23 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Going out? Wasn't quite what I planned, but you never know. She may be feeling sociable instead - in which case I'd be delighted if you came too, Luna"
[ 2014.06.22 00:48:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Unlike my daughter, i do not blurt the first thing in my mind. Sometimes thoughts rattle in my brain for months before I choose to express them,.
[ 2014.06.22 00:48:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods at Tiger with a smile.
[ 2014.06.22 00:49:20 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "There are many things we all keep bottled up, I'm sure. There are things weighing on my mind too"
[ 2014.06.22 00:49:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Tiger while sipping her drink "I see"
[ 2014.06.22 00:50:41 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote orders a bottle of wine from the server behind the bar, and offers Luna a top up, by gesturing towards her glass with the bottle.
[ 2014.06.22 00:52:40 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "So what do you do to 'play' Luna? I don't think I've ever really seen you loosen up. Always so collected and outwardly smart"
[ 2014.06.22 00:52:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I garden."
[ 2014.06.22 00:53:04 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Garden? Really?"
[ 2014.06.22 00:53:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote asks for a clean glass from the server and tilts that towards Tiger.
[ 2014.06.22 00:53:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Both.. metamorically, and literally.
[ 2014.06.22 00:53:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The literally is how I relax.
[ 2014.06.22 00:54:12 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Sounds rather dull, actually" he says, as he tips the wine into her clean glass. "But then I guess you don't live in a constant state of war, like we militia folk"
[ 2014.06.22 00:54:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I get my hands dirty, I feel the sun on my face and the wind in my hair.
[ 2014.06.22 00:54:38 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I feel human.
[ 2014.06.22 00:55:09 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I think that's part of the appeal of date night, actually"
[ 2014.06.22 00:56:02 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles slightly "true."
[ 2014.06.22 00:56:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs 'let me show you what I mean?'
[ 2014.06.22 00:56:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pulls out her datapad and opens a 'picture file'
[ 2014.06.22 00:56:48 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "You know, I own a small vineyard out...." he trails off, listening to Luna.
[ 2014.06.22 00:58:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > This was my garden when I was just a housewife on Sarum Prime III: Garden on Sarum Prime III
[ 2014.06.22 00:58:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The child in the middle was Maria.
[ 2014.06.22 00:58:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The one on the bottom was Cornelius.
[ 2014.06.22 00:58:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > One of her older brothers.
[ 2014.06.22 00:59:33 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote comes up from the beach, wrapping a sarong around waist as she does so, her hair still wet from a swim. She notices Luna and Tiger and heads over.
[ 2014.06.22 00:59:36 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote cranes over to look at the image on her datapad. "How wonderful. I can see why you feel such a relaxing draw to the garden2
[ 2014.06.22 00:59:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I have always hated Furriers and shows Tiger another picture: Furrier in the Strawberries
[ 2014.06.22 01:00:02 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote looks up and nods his head to Kat as she appears. "Evening"
[ 2014.06.22 01:00:18 ] Katerina Tzestu > Hello Tiger, Luna.
[ 2014.06.22 01:00:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Furrier in Strawberries
[ 2014.06.22 01:00:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote straightens up with a slight start "Hello Kat"
[ 2014.06.22 01:00:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles.
[ 2014.06.22 01:01:49 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles at the image. "Cute little fellow,.. and that's how you un-wind?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:02:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes. I finally have a new garden on Nove Cerra.
[ 2014.06.22 01:02:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > And of course.. I garden at the Basilica when I am on Oris for room and board.
[ 2014.06.22 01:03:27 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote grins. "I've not had to pay room and board in years. Militia looks after me... us, huh Kat?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:03:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Nova Cerra guest room adjoining garden *shows Tiger*
[ 2014.06.22 01:03:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles "well good."
[ 2014.06.22 01:05:46 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Alas, I have no pictures of my life away from the warzone, mainly because I don't have one. My life is here, and with Shalee what little chance I get"
[ 2014.06.22 01:06:39 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote chuckles, "Well, what are you two up to?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:07:15 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Luna felt like some company, and came to Cerra to meet up with us"
[ 2014.06.22 01:07:52 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles, "Definitely came to the right place."
[ 2014.06.22 01:08:06 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "How do you figure that?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:08:33 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote indicates herself, "I'm here! And I'm the best company around."
[ 2014.06.22 01:08:49 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote grins cheekily at Tiger.
[ 2014.06.22 01:09:07 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Really? You're up against some tough competition there, Kat"
[ 2014.06.22 01:09:59 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote shakes her head, "It's no contest."
[ 2014.06.22 01:10:53 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles and picks up his glass, taking a sip of his wine.
[ 2014.06.22 01:18:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances up after staring at the last picture and shows Tiger: Luna in the Basilica Rose gardens by Statue of Empress
[ 2014.06.22 01:19:26 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote pokes her head over Tiger's shoulder, resting her chin lightly on him as she looks at the picture.
[ 2014.06.22 01:20:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote looks to the side as he feels her chin resting on his shoulder. He makes no effort to remove it, but looks back down, studying the image.
[ 2014.06.22 01:20:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote accidently hits a key and another picture comes up Newlywed Luna
[ 2014.06.22 01:21:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote quickly presses "back" and blushes.
[ 2014.06.22 01:21:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Er..and that was my husband's favorite picture of me with my roses..
[ 2014.06.22 01:21:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks slightly discomfited.
[ 2014.06.22 01:22:11 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote averts his gaze as the image of Luna appears on the screen. "I can see why he liked it, Luna" he says reassuringly.
[ 2014.06.22 01:22:24 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote giggles, "We all have 'em."
[ 2014.06.22 01:23:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote murmers "Yes, he did."
[ 2014.06.22 01:24:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says more briskly "But you see Tiger, gardening connects me with who i was"
[ 2014.06.22 01:24:22 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Then surely it's who you still are, Luna"
[ 2014.06.22 01:26:40 ] Katerina Tzestu > We all change, Tiger. Even if we become better, that doesn't mean we can't still miss who we were.
[ 2014.06.22 01:27:33 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote steps from the shuttles in a form fitting black pencil-thin skirt with sheer black stockings matched with a white suit in black strim at the collar and sleeve. She saunters over to the bar on her heels.
[ 2014.06.22 01:27:37 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "You know, I'll grudgingly agree with that"
[ 2014.06.22 01:28:14 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote watches Veik saunter across the terrace, then nods his head to her with a smile.
[ 2014.06.22 01:29:02 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote throws a wave at Veiki, "Morning you."
[ 2014.06.22 01:30:26 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote smiles at Tiger and winks at Kat with a grin, "Hello there, strangers. Hope you're not all up to good, hmm?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:31:27 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "The night is still young, my dear"
[ 2014.06.22 01:32:32 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote smirks at Tiger, biting her lower lip as her eyes meet his a moment, "Well. That's no fun, is it?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:34:03 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs, "Don't hate."
[ 2014.06.22 01:35:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Kat "I didn't realize you were here" *in a sheepish voice"
[ 2014.06.22 01:35:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I guess I got so focused in the pictures...
[ 2014.06.22 01:35:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > How are you
[ 2014.06.22 01:36:06 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles, "It's quite alright! And I'm great, you?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:36:35 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote looks from Kat and Tiger to Luna, "I'm not disturbing anything am I? I can just go get a drink alone otherwise."
[ 2014.06.22 01:36:37 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses and says carefully "Personally, I am fine."
[ 2014.06.22 01:36:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh, hello, CEO Gesakaarin, not at all.
[ 2014.06.22 01:37:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blushes and says "boy, I was out of it, huh"
[ 2014.06.22 01:37:42 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles. "Actually it was nice to see you relax a little, Luna"
[ 2014.06.22 01:38:50 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote chuckles softly, "Technically, only Chairwoman now, I resigned yesterday. Ah..." She pauses trying to recollect a moment, "Lady Aspenstar, was it, from the summit I believe?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:39:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks "You resigned?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:39:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And yes.. from the Noir actually is where we've met twice"
[ 2014.06.22 01:39:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles at Veikitamo Gesakaarin .
[ 2014.06.22 01:39:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "With Tigerfish here"
[ 2014.06.22 01:39:38 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote offers a small wave.
[ 2014.06.22 01:39:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says in a confidential voice "Tiger can be forgettable I guess"
[ 2014.06.22 01:39:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote winks at Tigerfish.
[ 2014.06.22 01:40:23 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote pouts a little in mock hurt.
[ 2014.06.22 01:41:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Can I inquire as to what happened or is it confidential corporation business?
[ 2014.06.22 01:41:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly.
[ 2014.06.22 01:41:14 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote nods, "Yes. Of course. I'm terrible remembering faces sometimes when I'm in the pod too often. Induced aphasia, I'm told."
[ 2014.06.22 01:42:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly, remaining silent.
[ 2014.06.22 01:43:17 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote smiles at Luna, "We all need a break sometimes don't we? Leaves me more time to pursue what I feel I'm good at."
[ 2014.06.22 01:44:40 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "There was a time, many years ago - and a whole other lifetime ago - when I used to paint. I was really quite accomplished when painting landscapes"
[ 2014.06.22 01:45:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods with understanding at Veik, and tilts her head at Tigerfish "really"
[ 2014.06.22 01:46:29 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods. "You should ask to see the painting I once gave Shalee some time. A painting of Huola from orbit"
[ 2014.06.22 01:46:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh?
[ 2014.06.22 01:47:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles. "Surprised that a blunt militia pilot can paint, Ms Aspenstar?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:48:47 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs, "I'm sure it's not that."
[ 2014.06.22 01:49:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote twinkles but remains silent.
[ 2014.06.22 01:49:22 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote darts his gaze to Kat. "I'm only teasin', Kat. It's something that I don't often mention"
[ 2014.06.22 01:49:49 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote chuckles softly to herself, "Why, such an accomplished man, Mr. Tiger."
[ 2014.06.22 01:50:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote looks down at his drink. "I have some uses, away from the perils of battle"
[ 2014.06.22 01:50:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I'd like to see your work sometime Tiger"
[ 2014.06.22 01:51:13 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Most of it still resides where I grew up. The only place, other than my flagship, where you can find any now, is Shalee's suite - or wherever she hung that painting"
[ 2014.06.22 01:51:27 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Perhaps she threw it away, for all I know"
[ 2014.06.22 01:51:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I see."
[ 2014.06.22 01:52:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns to Veik and asks as if an afterthought "oh.. who is your successor CEO, Ms. Gesakaarin?"
[ 2014.06.22 01:52:14 ] Katerina Tzestu > You don't know? I thought you're in there a lot Tiger.
[ 2014.06.22 01:52:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smirks "I doubt he is studing the walls."
[ 2014.06.22 01:52:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks innocent and sips her drink.
[ 2014.06.22 01:52:58 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote frowns as he looks at Kat, giving her a fairly cold look. "I have no idea where she hung it, if anywhere. I've not seen it in a long time"
[ 2014.06.22 01:54:10 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Besides, Luna's right. Who would study the walls in that position"
[ 2014.06.22 01:54:38 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote offers Luna an sideways glance, "Hmm? Oh. My brother." She then chuckles at Tiger's comment.
[ 2014.06.22 01:55:26 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs, "I'm a little worred about how you know that."
[ 2014.06.22 01:56:45 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I simply don't have the time to paint any more. Like Luna's garden, that part of me seems lost - long ago in the past"
[ 2014.06.22 01:56:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote straightens slightly and glances at Veik "I see. Well i will have to congratulate him. I."
[ 2014.06.22 02:01:26 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote nods, "I'm sure he'll appreciate it, Ms. Aspenstar..." She smiles at her, "That is if you don't have him play sommelier, hmm?"
[ 2014.06.22 02:02:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smirks slightly with amusement "Oh I was just putting him through his paces. Men like to show off."
[ 2014.06.22 02:02:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And have an opportunity to do so... it was a humanitarian act on my part."
[ 2014.06.22 02:03:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Tiger a sidewise glance and then smiles at Veik "he knows his wines."
[ 2014.06.22 02:03:25 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs.
[ 2014.06.22 02:04:15 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote picks up his glass, tilts it away and studies the side of his glass. "It shows refinement to know ones' wines"
[ 2014.06.22 02:06:16 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote says dryly, "Does it?"
[ 2014.06.22 02:06:29 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote smirks at Luna, "Oh my, I suppose we'll never really know if it was you being humanitarian or my brother humouring your desires, Ms. Aspenstar."
[ 2014.06.22 02:06:57 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods at Kat. "Sure it does"
[ 2014.06.22 02:07:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes, Katerina. A man who knows his wines has at least that level of polish and refinement.
[ 2014.06.22 02:08:56 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles, "I'm teasing Tiger."
[ 2014.06.22 02:09:25 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote grins and places his glass back down on the bar. "Why must Kat always tease?"
[ 2014.06.22 02:12:28 ] Katerina Tzestu > Do you seriously have to ask that?
[ 2014.06.22 02:15:42 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "The nature of our relationship I guess" he smiles. "So, ladies, anyone have anything fun planned tonight?"
[ 2014.06.22 02:16:26 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote shrugs, "I was just planning on grabbing a casual drink before doing something fun and exciting."
[ 2014.06.22 02:17:34 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Fun and exciting? Such as what?"
[ 2014.06.22 02:17:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head slightly.
[ 2014.06.22 02:20:58 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > "Well I thought I would celebrate my decreased responsibilities by taking out one of the jets from the hangar at home, entering an low planetary orbit and then conducting an exo atmospheric jump down."
[ 2014.06.22 02:21:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote blinks "Well... we all need to express ourselves in different ways. I'll stay here and watch."
[ 2014.06.22 02:22:09 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote raises her glass.
[ 2014.06.22 02:24:51 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote laughs and shakes her head, "No, nothing so grand. Okay, I'll admit it, I was probably going to go back to my quarters and watch some old movies."
[ 2014.06.22 02:25:29 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote sighs. "I'm not sure if I can bothered with the warzone tonight"
[ 2014.06.22 02:26:46 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I may just take a walk along the shore instead, perhaps a swim at some point. How was the water?" he asks, looking over at Kat.
[ 2014.06.22 02:27:30 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote smiles, "It was great, actually."
[ 2014.06.22 02:34:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Well... I am up for some music and drinks.
[ 2014.06.22 02:34:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *shrugs*
[ 2014.06.22 02:35:09 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles and nods his head. "I have no idea why, but I'm enjoying white wine tonight"
[ 2014.06.22 02:40:07 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote appears absent for a moment as a flicker of indigo dances across the usually grey iris of her left eye. "Hmm. Well. It seems I'm required elsewhere. Duty calls." She offers an apologetic bow.
[ 2014.06.22 02:40:35 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote gives Veik a quick wave. "Have fun"
[ 2014.06.22 02:41:15 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote winks at Tiger, "I'm a girl that always knows how to have fun, dear, don't you worry."
[ 2014.06.22 02:41:44 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "I'll take your word for it"
[ 2014.06.22 02:42:22 ] Veikitamo Gesakaarin > /emote chuckles and turns to make her way back to the shuttlepad.
[ 2014.06.22 02:45:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Have a good night Ma'am.
[ 2014.06.22 02:45:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote waves sligthly.
[ 2014.06.22 02:53:49 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote steps out onto the terrace wearing a turquoise sundress tied around the back of her neck, showing off her tan. Her hair is in ringlet curls and brushes against her shoulders. Silver sparkles around her wrists, matching dangling earrings.
[ 2014.06.22 02:54:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote turns from Tiger and Kat and waves at Shalee in greeting.
[ 2014.06.22 02:54:26 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote waves at Shalee as she walks in.
[ 2014.06.22 02:54:40 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote follows Luna's gaze and smiles as he spots Shalee approaching. "Evening, Shalee!"
[ 2014.06.22 02:57:09 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote smiles, her dimples deepen, "Evening Tiger." She nods to both Luna and Kat, "Evening girls." She makes her way over to Tiger and slides into his lap. She picks up his wine glass and takes a sip, "Nice choice."
[ 2014.06.22 02:57:37 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote laughs.
[ 2014.06.22 02:58:04 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote slips his hands around her, holding her carefully on his lap as she drinks from his glass. "It's about the finest white your bar stocks. What better vintage?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:00:31 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote slips an around his shoulder, "That is true." She smiles to Kat and Luna, "What are you two up to tonight?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:03:27 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles and leans forward, kissing her shoulder softly. "The question, dearest Shalee, is what are we up to tonight?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:03:29 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote shrugs, "Teasing Tiger about knowing his wines."
[ 2014.06.22 03:03:47 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote sighs. "It's true. They were mocking me!"
[ 2014.06.22 03:03:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Tiger and Shalee and decides to say in a cheerful voice "yep!"
[ 2014.06.22 03:06:54 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote "He knows his stuff." She motions to the bartender to refill Tiger's glass after she finishes off the wine. She absently plays with his hair, trailing her manicured nails through it, "So what do you have planned for us?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:08:52 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote thinks for a moment. "I was debating taking you to a bar; somewhere we can drink, dance, just relax together, before heading home for the night - but I'm not up on the current social scene. I have no idea of where's the 'in' place"
[ 2014.06.22 03:09:49 ] Shalee Lianne > I thought you were going to plan something for us!
[ 2014.06.22 03:10:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances back between the two of them.
[ 2014.06.22 03:11:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > giggles slightly "well the Noir is still popular to the wider capsuleers... and Grape is busy for us Empire folk."
[ 2014.06.22 03:12:16 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles at Luna. "I want somewhere I can get Shalee drunk, dance the night away,.... etc. Nowhere too quiet"
[ 2014.06.22 03:13:06 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > The Noir does have music.
[ 2014.06.22 03:13:15 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *darkly* Maria went to a club called the Succubus
[ 2014.06.22 03:13:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > apparently that place had music too.
[ 2014.06.22 03:13:58 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote frowns. "The Noir, Shalee? Of should we just chill here tonight?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:14:19 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote "So the usual. Drinks and a lot of sex?" She rolls her eyes, though her expression is playful.
[ 2014.06.22 03:15:35 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "You know that's my preferred option, but I want to be considerate to your need to not always be dragged off to bed"
[ 2014.06.22 03:16:03 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote sighs, "Men..."
[ 2014.06.22 03:16:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rolls her eye.
[ 2014.06.22 03:19:39 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote "Mmm. Well. We can skip the pleasantries if you must." She shrugs.
[ 2014.06.22 03:20:26 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote grins. "What would you like to do, Shalee? I'm willing to do anything you want tonight"
[ 2014.06.22 03:21:38 ] Shalee Lianne > It doesn't matter.
[ 2014.06.22 03:22:36 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote frowns for a moment, looking back to Luna and Kat. "Shalee, can I ask you something?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:23:04 ] Shalee Lianne > Yes?
[ 2014.06.22 03:24:06 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Where's that painting I gave you? The one of Huola, painted from orbit. Luna was surprised that I used to paint, and I told her about the painting, but wasn't sure where it was - if you even kept it"
[ 2014.06.22 03:24:27 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Shalee.
[ 2014.06.22 03:25:37 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote looks to Luna, "Why were you surprised? Tiger is a man of many talents." She glances up to the manor house, "It is in the sitting room off of my bedroom. You can take her up and show her if you'd like."
[ 2014.06.22 03:26:34 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "There's no rush, of course. It just made me wonder where it was" he smiles. "I'm glad you kept it"
[ 2014.06.22 03:27:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles "well I plan to visit for a few days, so when you have time Tiger. Not now"
[ 2014.06.22 03:27:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote gives Tiger a meaningful look "You have someone else you need to pay attention to right now"
[ 2014.06.22 03:27:41 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head to Luna. "Then certainly, some time over the next few days"
[ 2014.06.22 03:28:41 ] Shalee Lianne > No. I insisit. Please go on and show her.
[ 2014.06.22 03:28:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I am thirsty for a drink.. and some dancing.
[ 2014.06.22 03:29:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote chuckles slightly.
[ 2014.06.22 03:29:54 ] Shalee Lianne > It would take all of five minutes?
[ 2014.06.22 03:30:26 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks at Tiger.
[ 2014.06.22 03:30:36 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head, and pats Shalee's side as she continues to sit on his lap. "If you insist, Ms Lianne"
[ 2014.06.22 03:32:02 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote slides out of his lap and moves around the bar. She pours her own drink and adds a slice of strawberry to it.
[ 2014.06.22 03:32:10 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote rises and prepares to follow Tiger "We'll be right back"
[ 2014.06.22 03:32:40 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote gets up and looks questioningly at Shalee for a moment, before heading towards the house with Luna.
*** enters the Manor***
[ 2014.06.22 03:35:01 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote escorts Luna through the large doors into Shalee's suite, then through towards the sitting area.
[ 2014.06.22 03:35:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > ((luna's not bringing up TSF until she speaks with Maria so her not talking to kat/shalee yet is on purpose))
[ 2014.06.22 03:35:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote follows Tiger to the sitting area, glancing as she goes.
[ 2014.06.22 03:36:50 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote pushes open the door to the sitting area, and glances around, looking for his painting.
[ 2014.06.22 03:36:56 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "Should be around here somewhere"
[ 2014.06.22 03:37:19 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote spots it on the wall, and heads directly toward it. "So what do you think?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:37:24 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > (( http://www.alicefunnews.com/_Media/alien_planetsjpeg-0e104-168_med.jpeg ))
[ 2014.06.22 03:38:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote studies the painting and murmers "oh wow"
[ 2014.06.22 03:40:08 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote smiles. "I'm pleased you like it, Luna. It took some time to get it right, actually"
[ 2014.06.22 03:40:22 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at her datapad and says firm;y "and now we've been five minutes,. We need to go back. You musn't leave Shalee waiting"
[ 2014.06.22 03:41:00 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote nods his head. "Thank you for showing me your pictures earlier, Luna. I enjoyed them immensely"
[ 2014.06.22 03:41:41 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles.
[ 2014.06.22 03:41:58 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well..." *awkward pause* let's go back down to the Terrace.
[ 2014.06.22 03:42:12 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote turns towards the door, leading Luna towards the terrace again
**back to the Terrace
[ 2014.06.22 03:34:03 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote orders a glass of wine and looks at Shalee, "So what's up?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:34:49 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote shrugs lightly, "Looks like not much." She laughs.
[ 2014.06.22 03:35:11 ] Katerina Tzestu > Everything okay?
[ 2014.06.22 03:37:17 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote sighs, "I don't know." She takes a long sip of her drink, "I was hoping for something exciting, different, or well, anything that shows he put some effort into our date night. He doesn't have a clue."
[ 2014.06.22 03:39:25 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote frowns, "I'm sorry."
[ 2014.06.22 03:41:29 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote laughs a low sound in the back of her throat. "It doesn't matter."
[ 2014.06.22 03:43:25 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote heads back down the steps from the house, having just shown Luna his painting.
[ 2014.06.22 03:43:59 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote follows and says to Shalee "wow that was amazing, You are so lucky he gave that to you. To see such beauty every morning must warm the soul."
[ 2014.06.22 03:45:58 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote smiles prettily to Luna. "Yes. I'm very lucky. Maybe he will paint one for you too?" She looks to Tiger, "I'm sure she would appreciate it."
[ 2014.06.22 03:46:43 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote arrives at the bar and rests both hands on the surface. "I hardly paint anymore, Shalee. You know that. I'm too caught up in affairs of the Empire"
[ 2014.06.22 03:46:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote shifts slightly on her feet and takes a seat that positions Tiger on away from her on the other side of Shalee and Kat.
[ 2014.06.22 03:51:02 ] Shalee Lianne > /emote "Mmhmm. I'm sure you can find the time here or there. You can't be that busy, can you?" She arches a brow, "Though I really don't know how you spend your off duty time anymore."
[ 2014.06.22 03:53:38 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > "That's because I only really get to see you on date night, Shalee. What free time I have is usually spent here, or with you. I hardly leave the grounds when I'm not flying into combat"
[ 2014.06.22 03:54:29 ] Shalee Lianne > Of course.
[ 2014.06.22 03:54:46 ] Katerina Tzestu > /emote takes a sip of wine, and glances over at luna.
[ 2014.06.22 03:55:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her glass of wine, staring at the stars absent mindedly.
[ 2014.06.22 03:55:25 ] Tigerfish Torpedo > /emote quirks a brow. "And you, dearest Shalee... How do you spend your free time these days?"
[ 2014.06.22 03:56:12 ] Shalee Lianne > I run a corporation. You remember what that is like, do you not?
