Skilled pilot & the lost one 9/16/1
((Unsure the date.. But whenever Nova is back on jupiter one))
Nova made some of Ryan's favorite food, she also digged threw her many crates and fetched the favorite movie Ryan liked, however his taste might of changed. She finds Ryan in the cockpit. "I bring gifts and more company for you and the cat. Though the name keeps changing, is it Shilo or something else now?" She asked to see where the cat was based on where Ryan looked so she didn't sit on him accidentally.
After a moment, she put the plate of food near Ryan and held the movie out, "Sorry for keeping it so long. It got lost in the crates." She gave a sweet smile. "I was hoping to catch up with how you been. We haven't been able to have our usual movie nights and party like we use to."
((Edit changed part: She finds Ryan prepping the ship to leave for Lanus, per Tesara's and Ava's instructions.))

Ryan eyes the food as he put away a holoplayer, "Nova," he smiled at the offering. "I know you had been pretty stressed and all, so I tried to add it up on you."
He reached out and took the plate, "things have gotten really crazy around here."
There was concern in his eyes as he spoke, "Nova, are you okay."
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/17/2021
Nova sat down and sighed, "No, not really." She began to play with the ends of her hair, "I want to help Ava but also everyone with us, however, that takes me a different direction." She looked away, "I don't know where to go from here on, I am just floating adrift and being pulled towards the direction that pulls the hardest."
TheTraveler — 09/17/2021
Ryan nodded, "trust me, I know what you mean."
He continued to eat, "Nova, you have always been the odd ball among us." There was a smile and a wink of his eye, just to ensure that she knew he wasn't trying to be mean.
"Ava, you and I," he continued. "We have always been a family. And you were always the odd little girl."
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/17/2021
Nova gave a slow nod, "I know. I am not normal." She gave a sigh, "But how have you been, Ryan?"
TheTraveler — 09/17/2021
He shakes his head, "I am doing good."
He looks at her, "Nova, you have always been normal to me." He smiled softly as he watched her with caring eyes.
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/17/2021
"Thank you for saying that." She seemed happier before giggling, "I heard how you got the Jupiter One off the Star Quake. Sorry about locking the doors." She gave a knowing nod. "Amazing piloting."
TheTraveler — 09/17/2021
He smiled at her, "Nova we have always been good together. Me, at piloting. And your skills at....well just about everything."
He set the plate down and reached for her hand, though letting her come the rest of the way if she wanted to. "We have always been family."
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/17/2021
Nova was still playing with her hair when Ryan reached for her hand so she stopped doing her tell of being worried and gave her hand to Ryan. "That we are."
TheTraveler — 09/17/2021
He smiled as he held her hand, "I remember the first time I met you and Ava."
TheTraveler — 09/17/2021
He laughed, "you walked out of the crash like you were so dazed and confused. You just looked at Ava like, why...."
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/17/2021
Nova gave a giggle, "Yeah it was an unorthodox way to meet someone. I was organizing Ava's room the way she liked it when we crashed." She then smiled, "You were mad that your shop was destroyed."
TheTraveler — 09/17/2021
He laughed s bit, still holding her hand. "I was, then I saw you and Ava and how could I be mad at you two."
"Nova," he said softly. "What's wrong?"
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/17/2021
"I just feel lost without focus. With everyone else, I keep feeling like I am not needed nor wanted." She shook her head. "I still want to stay by Ava but I have a hard time with politics so I often try to not cause problems for her. However, I also want to help Durro get Lenora Delphinium from her imprisonment but also see other worlds again."
TheTraveler — 09/17/2021
He smiled and nodded, "Nova you have never been more needed." His smile grew as the warmth of his heart shined through. "You and Ava are so lovely together," he said then his smile slightly faded. "I only wish she saw you the way I do. Saw the beautiful woman you are. How wonderful you are."
He gave her a nod, "Nova, you have been so special to me. In the beginning, you were odd, but you grew on me like that annoying sister I never really wanted but now can't live without."
He drew in a deep breath, "Nova, I love you so much. But I have a serious question I need answered once and for all." He pulled out a small ring box, "Nova, I hope you can help answer this question." He smiled broadly as he opened the ring box and exposed a large single gem ring. "I know how you feel about these things. But is it real?"
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/17/2021
Nova listened and observed with a small blush before thinking. "That is a pretty ring but don't you have a lady friend?" She smiled, "Are you practicing with me or are you on spice right now?"
TheTraveler — 09/17/2021
Ryan laughed deeply as he moved forward and kissed Nova right on the nose, "Oh Nova, that is why I love you."
He pulled back, "no no, I bought this ring off of a dealer back on Baklid, and well I wanted to make sure the stone was real." He looked at the ring, "it took me half a night to get the blood out of the engravings."
Holding the ring back towards her, "so can you tell me if it is real?"
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/17/2021
Nova was a bit surprised by his laugh, she missed it, and the kiss on the nose was weird. "Interesting request. Give me some time to check." ((what would you need me to roll?))
TheTraveler — 09/17/2021
((OOC: That would require an appraise check))
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/17/2021
((24, roll is on roll20))
TheTraveler — 09/17/2021
((OOC: The ring is authentic and valued at over 10k in credits))
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/17/2021
Nova took the box carefully and looked the ring over and smirked, "This is indeed real, how many credits did you spend? I know how much it should of been."
TheTraveler — 09/17/2021
Ryan smiled with pride, "so the seller was a good friend of mine. Lets just say, I did a few favors for him." There was a odd wink in his eye, "I bought the ring for three hundred credits...I was worried that he scammed me."
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/17/2021
Nova handed it back and giggled, "You got a great discount on that. I would of sold that at ten thousand credits. I am sure she will love it."
TheTraveler — 09/18/2021
He smiled, "I knew I could trust you Nova." He took the ring box back, "I really love her Nova, and I am thinking that she deserves more than some spiced up criminal like me."
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/18/2021
"I understand how you feel, Ryan. But they love us even with our flaws. You are funny and very skilled." Nova smiled before speaking in a slightly playful tone, "And if she breaks my skilled brother's heart then we will have to have a chat."
She then giggled, "Let's watch movies again." She wanted to hang out with Ryan for a bit.
((Edit change: "Anyway, we have should probably head out now. I am sure Ava would need us sooner rather than later."))
