Since graduating from the Academy, life has been..interesting for Alisa, to say the least. She's been kept very busy, since she was upholding her promise to her mother on showing her the proper way to run the company, and it wasn't easy to put in those changes. Though it would have been a lot harder if she didn't have the support of those around her. But because of that, she hadn't been able to get time to get to visit Rean as much as she liked.

Translation: As much as she liked = every day. She did get to visit - or vice versa - at least on the weekend, and she talked to him almost every night thanks to the range on the ARCUS. Just as finished up for the night, she made her way up to the penthouse, glancing around to make sure she was alone (And you never know with Sharon) in order to take out her ARCUS once more and see if she could get a hold of Rean before bed. She was planning on seeing if he was in the area - alternatively, she was sure she could get away for a visit, if he wasn't busy.

Alisa blinked in surprise at the kiss to the tip of her nose, and then she giggled softly, meeting his gaze with an unwavering, loving smile. "Well, I suppose we can count this to part of your community service." Since he had a 'criminal' record from their earlier goofing off. "But your good behavior still won't get your sentence lightened any." She tucked herself into him a little more, full of breakfast and starved for his touch instead.

"Oh I would never even dream of this being near enough to atone for my grievous scene of stealing that which should not have been able to be stolen~" Rean was really eating up his little role in their personal play that would have had anyone but Sharon rolling their eyes at how sickeningly cheesy the two young lovers were.

Alisa chuckled softly. Rean had certainly embraced that role of his, almost more eagerly than she expected him to. "At least you understand how weighty your crime is." She answered. "I do have to wonder though, what possessed you to steal something so cherished, valuable and fiercely guarded?" It had been so subtle a shift, even she was surprised when her own feelings changed towards Rean, from simply friends, even schoolmates, to more than that.

It was true, anyone else who saw them right now would be groaning and roling their eyes at the nauseatingly cute couple. Sharon on the other hand, not so much - she would have been fully entertained had she seen it. Though, regrettably, she would be making her appearance soon, as the time ticked closer to when Rean would have to leave. MAYBE Alisa would be able to let him go. She had a hard enough time separating from him when she left Thors.

"It's exactly because it's so precious that I wanted it~" Rean answered simply before nipping at her chin only to then press his lips to Alisa's once more as his eyes slowly closed into the bliss of the moment. "A treasure more precious than anything in this world. Worth bearing any consequence to obtain it~"

It was a darn good thing he was holding her and she was secure in his lap because the combination of his kiss that lured her into that same peaceful bliss, and his heartfelt words, were enough to make her swoon. Again. She was helpless when it came to his sincerity - it tore through any defense she had like a hot knife through butter. Which was an effective analogy since she was melting with a soft whimper against his lips. Rean was such a heart breaker! Without even /trying/ even.

Well it was a good thing he wasn't the type to abuse such dangerous power over her. That didn't mean he would not make use of it to bring as much happiness to her life as humanly possible. Anything less would be an insult considering she had claimed his heart just as much as he had laid claim to hers.

"...you really are unbelievable, Rean..." Alisa murmured softly when she managed to pull away from the kiss. Though she leaned in to nuzzle against his shoulder and hold him close instead. "You're amazing.. I can't even catch my breath around you."

"You'll insist otherwise but if I'm amazing it's because you bring out the best in me. Especially when we're like this" Rean answered, his voice light and oh so very warm and filled with absolute adoration for the girl in his arms.

And she proved him right when she chuckled, gently running her fingers through his hair, "Aren't you just saying that because you're so modest?" She smiled, "You've always been that way, from the day I first met you." He never took the credit he was due and always downplayed his actions. Which in hindsight, was a good thing, because otherwise he'd have a huuuuuuuuuuge ego.

A big ego would be a problem. INstead he'd rather give Alisa reason to have that kind of eego even if that wass a lost cause. because of the kind of girl she is. Rean smiled and leaned his head into her touch with an almost dreamy look on his features as his eye drifted close from the bliss of the moment.

"Hmmm I think you might be exaggerating it a little tiny bit~"

"Am I?" Alisa asked, a bit skeptical. In some ways she was a lot like him, putting aside her own needs and wants in favor of helping out her friends, and downplaying her own involvement in things. "I don't now, I think I got it right on the button." She followed that up by placing a light kiss on -his- nose for a change.

Okay that he didn't expect and his wide eyed bewildered look said as much as he peered back at Alisa as if asking if she really did just do that. No she definitely did. So much so he couldn't help but squeeze her a little closer.

Seeing that bewildered look was just -priceless-, and she gave him a slow grin, until he squeezed her closer, at which point she started giggling softly, burying her face against him and snuggling close, hands sliding along his back.

Although the worst soon comes to pass, and Sharon came padding down the stairs, though lacking the amused smile on her lips. Which was probably pretty telling enough of the reason she was coming downstairs ..to let them know their time was up. It's pretty rare to see Sharon at a loss for words - heck, she definitely didn't want to be the one to interrupt them. The fact that she knew about the train's arrival to fetch Rean before Claire even called was probably not as surprising though.

Rean on the other hand felt it and for a while longer he seemed to block sharon out before he reluctantly started to pull back. But at the last second he simply couldn't contain and he pushed into a long drawn out kiss with Alisa .

Alisa of course, had her back to Sharon so she didn't hear the Enforcer heading down to give them the bad news. Though when Rean started to pull back, she tightened her arms a little, about to try and pull him back in - though she did glance up to ask why he was suddenly pulling away, only for him to push into that kiss, which she was more than willing to linger into as long as she could, pulling him back against her almost desperately.

Sharon was politely silent, glancing away for the duration of their kiss, waiting as long as she could. When Alisa had to break the kiss for air, Sharon regrettably cleared her throat, "...My Lady.. Master, Rean, it's time."

She obviously didn't sound happy about it, and wen Alisa heard the words and processed them, she pushed into an even tighter hug with Rean in protest. "No.." As if she had the power to reject the reality of accepting she'd have to let Rean go. Rean's ARCUS only added to the unpleasantness by interrupting their moment, with ringing. Obviously it was Claire calling for him now.

And this is where it started to hurt in earnest. The moment she clung to him and spoke that single word, Rean felt his heart get stabbed by an unseen dagger. He didn't want to leave her. Her. He truly didn't. But the Arcus soon joined in with Sharon to reestablish the reality of his life currently. Falling from heaven would be an apt metaphor for how he felt right now.

"Alisa...I'm sorry." He murmured again letting the arcus ring for a while longer before he finally had to answer.

"Yes. This is Schwarzer."

She tightened her grip on him at his words, listening to the sound of the ARcus ringing almost selfishly wanting to hold onto him so he couldn't pull away and answer its summons. Though she knew Claire would only call again, or worse, come to the door to get him.. no, Rean himself would insist. It was the same before she left Thors to help with the company..as much as she wanted to stay with Rean, as much as she said the company was a lower priority than HIM..and it still was, but at the same time, ...

It just wasn't fair.

So she pulled away to rest her hands in her lap, looking away from him as he answered the ARCUS. Now more than ever she should be supporting him, rather than selfishly wishing he would stay with her, or trying to think of ways to convince him to let her stay with him in Trista. She knew she couldn't help him with his missions, but at least then he'd have someone waiting for him in Trista. Someone who would always stand by him.

The moment Rean answered the ARCUS, Claire's voice was heard: "Rean, the train will be arriving in Roer station in fifteen minutes." Just time enough for him to get stuff (what little there was) together and meet them as it arrived. There was an awkward pause that followed, and more personally she added, "... I tried to argue for more time for you. I'm sorry." Daddy Dearest was having none of it.

He would never forgive himself if she did anything like that. To hamper her life's goal like that was one of the greatest sins he could add to his already growing list. Still a small part of him tried to think of ways the inevitable could be stalled but given who held his leash, those ideas were nothing more than idylic fantasy.

Claire's voice sounded business first as always. The way she could act like that even in the mot dire of times was to be admired. He didn't blame her anymore. Not like the last time he had his outburst before the reverie corridor opened up.

Which was why her apology was met with a soft yet understanding sigh. "Thank you for trying. It's the thought that counts. I will see you at the station then."

Even though he wasn't blaming her anymore, Claire still felt guilty - she knew he didn't want this situation. There was a short pause, where she almost said more, but kept it to herself. "All right... I'll see you there." He can probably bet he won't have long before they give him a mission once he gets back to Trista, too.

Alisa was silent through the entire, short, call, trying to keep her feelings from showing on her face. Trying to make it at least a LITTLE easier for Rean to leave.

Well the fact that she was still so very loyal to the man did still bother him but he suspected she might have had a very good reason for it. So expecting Claire to hold the same kind of grudge over the man was being unreasonable.

With the call concluded, his eyes met Alisa's again before letting a soft sigh. "Sharon, could I ask you to-" He probably wasn't going to get to finish the request.

Alisa was, at least, successfully keeping her tears back, though the smile had dimmed considerably; she couldn't do anything about that. When he finished his call, Alisa reached over to grip his hand tightly, wanting to have as much contact with him on the way as possible.

As for Sharon... yeah. "Already sorted, Master Rean." Yep, by the time he got halfway through that sentence he'd notice somehow she left and came back with his things, holding his bag in both hands, her smile unreadable.

She might be holding them back but he can feel it. After all that ache in his heart is just as fierce and he thought he could ednure that kind of pain better after the things he'd done. Alisa's heart was even larger than his even if most people couldn't realize it from interacting with her.

He met her hand with his and raised it up to his lips pressing them softly to her smooth skin before peering back at her.

"I'm sorry. You know you don't have to come to the station with me, right?" He was offering her that at least.

Rean's was just as big, and he was already trying to spare her more pain when they parted. She smiled weakly, "I know... I know, but... I want to spend as much time with you as I can." She squeezed his hand and cupped her other one around it, "Please...?" She didn't care if it'd be like someone tearing part of her soul out of her with a hot dagger, she just wanted to be with him as much as possible.

Honestly he was going to try and insist for longer still since she clearly wasn't in any state to let go of him. But then she just had to use that potent magic word on him and his opposition buckled and crumbled completely.

"Honestly. I was just trying to spare you the grief but what am I supposed to do when you say it like that? Of course I want to be with you for as long as I can as well."

Alisa smiled softly, a bit sadly, and squeezed his hand a little more, "It's not going to be any easier for you. You don't have to shoulder everything on your own, Rean." Especially this. She leaned away, relucantly getting up this time.
