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.

Objectively it's a good function to have. Yet this only served to ruin the moment yet again just like with Valimar even if intentions were those of consideration than anything else.

"Oh Oh he can? ALirght then lets have him take care of that." So he had a built in radio as well. Rumu's handiness was becoming quite obvious already.

Alisa smiled a little sheepishly, "... sorry, that... kind of ruined the moment, didn't it?" She chuckled, "Just like last time." Last time she was in his lap though, and this---

---wait. She suddenly glances down, it dawning on her that she was sitting quite naturally, quite comfortably in his lap. And was it her imagination or was he holding her in place? "A-ah, s... sorry I um.." She'd be lying if she said she didn't mean to because she /had/ wanted to sit just this close to him from the beginning.

"You.. probably want me to get up..." Not that -she- wanted to, but maybe he was awkward now!

"O-Oh no not really. It didn't ruin it completely." Not like last time but since then the two of them had come further in their relationship so it wouldn't be so easy to disrupt intimate moments.

Or so he thought until Alisa realized she was in his lap. WHich in turn made him realize she was. But rather than freeze up, his hand on her leg seemed to stubbornly lock in place while he leaned forwrad a little.

"I...actually don't want anything like that to happen."

Alisa breathed a sigh of relief that the moment wasn't totally lost. If nothing else it would be ridiculously easy to find that moment together again. A little bitty bot was no real distraction compared to Sharon. She resisted the urge to fidget, glancing down at his hand when he didn't pull it away like she thought he might.

Her gaze shifts back to Rean at his response, her smile quickly returning to her face. "O.. Okay." She rested her arm around his shoulders, "Actually I... hoped you would say that..."

~~And then RUMU plays death metal~~

Once RUMU has reached its charge station, he taps into the first radio station that's playing music that it finds - which conveniently was a collection of soft instrumental music.

Oh that smile. That smile was all the proof in the world that he'd made the right call to not pull away or make Alisa get off from his lap. WHen the music started though, Rean had to admit the little machine had picked a suitably oothing tune. Luckily nothing by Vita Clotilde since that would make things SUPER awkward.

"Well I am happy to oblige~" He purred softly and adoringly before he brought his face close to Alisa's neck.

BOY would it ever. Alisa gave him a soft chuckle, "You always have been." she agreed with a soft, adoring smile, leaning in and gently running her fingers through his hair, "That's why you're so precious to me. Because you're so unbelievably kind." Kind and selfless. But she could sit here in his lap for hours and think how hopelessly smitting she was with him.

Oh that smile. The things he would do to preserve that smile for all eternity. Well the thing he could. Right now he would be the main source of that smile fading away when he left. A dark thought he didn't want to linger on for long.

"Well so are you. Always looking out for everyone even when you barely knew them~"

She didn't want to think about that either. Knowing he would have to leave her behind, and when they've made so much progress with their relationship, spent so much time together and gotten as close as this.

"You're going to keep on saying things like that whenever I compliment you aren't you?" She leaned closer to nuzzle her head against his, hugging him closer. "That's no fair, Rean."

He could only hope she would never ever regret it. If that ever came to be...it would probably crush him once and for all even if he still would never hold it against Alisa.

"Well it's not like I am lying. Simply telling you what's in my own heart~" Just as she had promised back then when he had been forced to flee Trista with the fate of everyone in his class uncertain. Especially Alisa.

Alisa would never forgive herself if she was the reason that Rean's spirit would be crushed. But fortunately that would never happen, because Alisa would never regret her time spent with Rean. If nothing else, his departures would only make her yearn for him more, and look forward to the next time she saw him, not to mention plan for things they could do together when he visited. Maybe she could work something out with Captain Claire. ...maybe she's hoping for too much...

She blushed at thereminder of her words, "I know you're not lying," she leaned into him, kissing his cheek lightly, "And I'll treasure every word, every moment with you now and forever."

Maybe it would not be so impossible. After all the captain did seem to harbor quite the large amount of guilt for Rean's situation even though she really had nowhere near that big of a part in his predicament. IT was mostly guilt by association wiht the man that had cut off so many of Rean's options in life going forward.

He showed Alisa that same loving smile as before and leaned in a little closer but not yet kissing again.

"I would never lie about something like that. Especially not to you~"

Alisa would not hesitate to take advantage of that. Even if she doesn't blame Claire particularly for Rean's situation, Claire was the most likely person who would be able to get Rean to have a little itme with Alisa, even if she was making up reasons for his time off. Heaven knows her mother wouldn't pass up that opportunity, and neither would Alisa. Some things she did learn from her mother, as loathe as she might to admit it.

She smiled softly at Rean's response, leaning in a little more, "I know you wouldn't. I'd know if you did." Probably anyway. But even though he doesn't lean in to kiss her again, she took a bit of a chance, leaning closer, "It's why I trust you most of all." she purred softly, daring to nuzzle his neck lightly.

Rean would not suggest she does that since he was not entirely ready to forgive Claire either. Even though a part of him certainly knew she had no real blame in any of this. After all she had been kept in the dark completely. Yet she was also so very loyal to that bastard of a father. All of those times she vowed to always help out class seven and him. But Class Seven was no more was it. So that promise was null and void....ahah...clever bastard.

"I vow to try to be worthy of hta ttrust until my very last die." Rean spoke soflly while his hand gingerly took hold ALisa's and settled it atop her lap.

Class Seven might be no more on paper, but Alisa firmly believed that their classmates would come together in a heartbeat if they were truly needed. Not even his father could break the bonds they shared. Of course she hoped that she wouldn't be proven wrong on that.

Still hearing him say things like that was so touching, she gripped his hand tighter, smiling with a relieved look in her eyes, "...and so will I." She promised. "Just as long as you promise me you won't ever change." Don't let that light leave his eyes. "Because if you ever do, I'll have to drag you back." and slap some sense into him.

Best to to challenge the man who seemed to have no qualms to laugh mocking in the face of the heavens.

That was a big promise to make yet if he had the chance to be with Alisa like this every now and again...maybe he could make that promise.

"You have my word. I won't let that change no matter what." Whether the world let him keep that promise or force Alisa to punch some sense into him was a different story.

HA! Not even Osborne would be foolish enough to challenge a woman in love! ...okay he probably would.

She knew she was asking a lot of Rean, but damnit, she promised herself she would protect his happiness as best she could. She sighed, her lips pressed against his ear as she purred her appreciation, "Good," she sighed softly, "You really..." He was stronger than he gave himself credit for, she felt. But saying that when he doubted himself so much wouldn't help. "... you're the most precious to me."

Again sweetest Alisa. Don't tempt the guy who has the empire virtually in the palm of his hand right about now.

Goodness she knew exactly what to say after all. True praising him would do no good but voicing his worth to her was the perfect counter to any misgivings he would have brought up. It's so perfect in fact he doesn't even have a counter for the first few moments.

"I....Alisa....." He had no words to convey the swirl of emotions deep in his heart.

Fine fine, she'll stop testing Fate. Probably for the best, really. She watched him in silence as he processed her words, and when he found himself speechless - save for her name - her expression melted into that same adoring expression she's given him since he confessed to her earlier.

"Rean..." she nuzzled a little closer, though mostly to whisper her words to him as she leaned in closer, "Even if you can't believe in yourself, believe in me... because I will never stop loving you, no matter what. You're the love of my life - my most precious.." that.... that was definitely her lips trailing along his jaw though, and gently her breath teased along his neck.

That expression was going to go with him with every breath he took wonce he left. It would invade his dreams and he would welcome it with wide open arms. He wanted nothing more than to be graced with that radiance for the rest of his life.

But then she moved closer and even started running her lips along his jaw in a manner that left his mind scattering to the wind with feelings he'd only...dreamed of.

"Y-Yours..."

Alisa was so far gone, so completely wrapped up in everything that was Rean, she wasn't even paying attention to just how much of an effect she was having on the poor man. "From now until the end of time." She confirmed - her lips wandered like her attention, following the line of his jaw with soft, tender kisses, getting dangerously close to the line of his neck if he didn't halt her progress.

Halt her progress? Why would Rean do something like that when his heart was racing like mad from how far Alisa was taking this. No his body would do the opposite as his arms found their way around Alisa's slim waist keeping her right in place on top of him while he slowly tilted his lips down to her temple as well.

"Always." he murmured in a half daze of bliss.

Amazing what a little music and a lot of comfort would do for a couple getting cozy, isn't it! As quiet as they were, Alisa found it far too easy to drown in her love for him, stepping over that line of affection she had not even realized she intended to cross in the first place.

When his arms closed around her more, she practically purred with happiness, all but radiating warmth and love, her lips nuzzling against his jaw briefly, then trailing down over his neck with that same soft tenderness.

A sharp intake of breath followed by a pleased purr was all Rean could let out a he felt those warm lips gracing his neck. THis was territory he'd only visited maybe in his dreams and yet he found himself utterly powerless and completely inclined to just give in.

So he tilted his head to give Alisa more access to his neck while his hands settled on her hips to pull her closer still.

Alisa was going to be very embarrassed when she realized the dangerous territory she was nearing. She hadn't -planned- to get this bold with him, but the combination of their loving words, the music and Rean holding her so close was just a lovely combination that Alisa was utterly weak to.

As he gave her more room to explore his neck, she certainly did so, her arms settling more comfortably around him as she leaned in closer, her breath coasting over his skin with each kiss, a soft, contented hum sighed through her lips. Poor Rean, being rendered completely helpless to Alisa's affections, whatever is he do to. Woe is he.

Rean would likely be jut a flustered when the spell inevitably broke. But at least this time there was no Sharon to cut thing short. OR wait was that a bad thing? If it wa, Rean wasn't sure he'd want it any other way regardless.

His fingers ended up snagging on Alisa's clothes as he slowly caressed her form through said clothes, reveling in the warmth of the moment which had completely swept both him and Alisa off into their own little world.
