Brie smirked slightly, although nervoursly as Cassus gave his approval to her nudging herself close into his side. She couldn't help it much. Even if he had his eyes closed, there was still something about the bounty hunter boy that pulled her toward him. She felt security and warmth from the fellow shadowrunner. It made her not wanting to leave his side, liking him and caring for him. It was all probably silly enough as it was, so there was no need to mention it further. Brie almost considered to sit herself up in the couch. Leaving it all as it was. That was, until he spoke up and mentioned their previously encounters.
"We've known each other a while, I hadn't thought about it until now, but I remember you from that business on the beach of Belazura. You met my mom briefly, actually. I was there on Parcellus Minor, too, somewhere else, probably. You would think after all this time, I would know more about you, that we would have done more than share a bit of food... or drink." Cassus raised his glass, feeling light enough to be almost gone.
''Oh, that was your mother?'' Brie asked and tried to remember their business on that indoors beach. It had been no trip for leisure though once
Zenitha Chuma
had appeared on the corpos holotelevision screens, surprising their pants off.
''She seemed kind, and likeable...!'' she continued sincerely, remembering the womans apprearence, but also noticed that the topic was affecting Cassus's mood. It was a talk suited for another place and anothe time. If he ever wanted to talk about it, that was. They both had lost their parents one way or the other, so they shared that experience and Brie hoped that she understood him.
''Yeah, we have...'' she confirmed with a nod, wistfully looking down in her lap. ''All you need to do is to ask, you know... If you ever want to... know something about me... I- I'm not biting...'' Brie continued and adjusted herself to how Cassus sat, one arm and the head leaning in behind her. When she looked back up, their breaths clearly meeting each other.
"Do you want my eyes to open for you?"
Oh, my stars! Brie should have seen it coming, him getting an opportunity to put
everything on her to decide the outcome of the night! Was it typical? Where did it leave her now? Cassus surely didn't mean to, but it still went that way by his very direct question. Now, Brie was facing a situation she had
never ever faced before, and didn't know half of what to answer, and neither had the help of her bestie... Should she answer a gathered yes, or actually just kiss the handsome bounty hunter that now invaded he whole world. She glanced at
Daiya
and Cartri who were all caught up in making out, and fortunately didn't seem to hear or notice their conversation. If they could do it... well, was there any harm in they doing it?
''Uhm... Cass... I think... I- I mean...'' she stuttered, fiddling somewhat with the end of her dress and obviously exposing her true answer to the question. Her soul and heart
screamed yes, of course she would want the bounty hunter open open his eyes
for her, but she could not simply get it out in spoken words what her heart told her.
''I... I- I guess I would lie to you, if I said I didn't... wish for it...'' she admitted, and looked at the face that was now leaning upon the back rest of the couch behind her, and very close that was. His closed eyes kept her from falling into a full blown blush. It made things slightly easier to handle.
''I.. I mean... Y- you decide... I won't force you into open you eyes for anyone... Y- you should do what your heart tells you to do...'' Brie explained, advising him to do what she dared not to. Stars! If anything,
that was silly, and not something she wanted to be in front of Cassus. Inspired by her bestie and ginger boy, she leaned in towards the bounty hunter boy and stopped an inch from his face. She would probably regret this. It was now of never, just like Daiya and Hex had encouraged her to, if things went south though, she wouldn't be able to look at the boy ever again. She might cross a line that was off limits, but at the same time everything seemed to point them in that direction. The former scrapper girl carefully closed the last distance between them, and gave the bounty hunter boy a gentle but long kiss on the lips, along with a soft but shaky hand caressing his cheek. Following your heart, it was.
Aaand that was when a loud crash from behind them interrupted the moment, making Brie jump on the spot and look for what happened. What she saw made her having to quell a giggle. A capsized table, drinks all around but not a single one in their glasses, and
Cartri Keswoll
laying like an upside-down turtle in the middle of it. Quite the hopeless case, as always. Though he definitely knew how to entertain them all.
Daiya
burst ot in a laugh and seemed to take the moment to have fun at it, but she was also his girlfriend, and a pretty drunk one at that. Brie shaked her head and rolled her eyes at the chaos, maybe also a little taken by the stolen kiss, but soon turned her face back to Cassus. Feeling like a "thief" for stealing that kiss was not far fetched, and actually hurt more than the shenanigans they made in the name of Darkwire.
