Uh-oh, maybe he shouldn't have given her something that tasted so good. She was liable to keep going until she coukdn't or he cut her off, well, hopefully she was not an angry drunk. Although, he doubted she could stop him anyway, but he made a mental note not to allow her neat Skye until she was sober again, no telling what might happen.
He was only just now getting tipsy himself, though he agreed partially with her assessment of the food, it wasn't the best thing ever, but it was pretty damn good.
"Uh, Ryselle, might want to slow down a bit on the drinks, I do not want to be holding your hair back later while you vomit into a chamberpot."

Physical Description: Coming in at an entirely unimpressive 5'3", Ryselle looks like she weighs less than the average puppy when soaking wet. She is stronger than she looks, which is saying something. She has a fine-boned build, and the white hair (hers being hip-length) and pale skin which her family is known for, but her eyes are a startling shade of lavender-blue commonly known as "periwinkle." She is usually completely expressionless, which often disturbs most people.

Clothes and Equipment: Ryselle always wears a white dress, and tends to go barefoot. She often carries birdseed, nuts, and pieces of dried fruit, fish, and beef in the many pockets of her dress, to offer to her animal friends. As with every member of her family, Ryselle (for some reason) carries candy in a pocket, usually the black licorice of which she is most fond.

"You make an excellent point. I think. Why is it so hot in here?" Her thoughts flitted from one topic to another, and she absently tugged at the high neck of her shirt, her fingers plucking at the laces until it loosened, baring more of her pale skin to the air of the inn. Twisting her hair back into a loose knot, she rolled her sleeves up, and apparently decided that was enough to cool her down, as she returned to eating and sipping at her drink. Those pale purplish eyes flicked up to Sterling's face, sharp and intent; it appeared that her drunken mind had settled upon a new topic that fascinated her.
"I don't often have chance to speak with many humans, but I find you a curious lot. Especially you. Most people outside my family dislike me. But not you. I wish to know more about you, Sterling Calgary. I wish to know what makes you different."

"Its not hot in here..." But by all means please continue, he thought to himself. She was definitely an attractive woman, but evidently she did not think so, which was a shame, maybe he could help her with that while they worked together, give her some more confidence in interacting with other people and in herself.
"What specifically would you like to know? Thats a very long list, and I am not certain you wish to stay up all night with me Ryselle."

"I don't sleep much. Tell me whatever you want. I'll offer the same in return - you can ask me anything and I'll answer. Where are you from? What made you decide to join the Dawn Riders? What's your favorite color? Do you have a family and what are they like?"
The questions came rapid-fire, until they stopped suddenly, speech given up in favor of eating more of the delicious food in front of her. Aside from the occasional blink, Ryselle's gaze didn't leave Sterling's face. She hadn't been kidding when she said she wanted to know more about him. He fascinated her. Which was strange, because Ryselle didn't normally like people; they were loud and crude and annoying. But Sterling was different. He liked animals (or griffins, at least), and he cared for Skye a great deal (the griffin had been regaling her with tales of their friendship the whole way here), and he'd shown her what it was like to be free in the air. She felt a kinship with him, something she'd never felt with anyone else. It intrigued her even as it confused her and made her a little nervous.

He finished off his glass and gestured for the waiter to bring another one. He was going to need it if he was going to start talking about his personal life.
"Fine, but I don't have much in the way of questions, so just answer for me the same questions you are asking me to answer."
He tapped thoughtfully on the table, thinking of how to best address the questions, taking a bite of chip before responding.
"I am from a small village, its outside Isra, not really sure what happened to it after I left, its still there for all I know. I came to Isra not long after it was founded and watching the griffin's soar through the air...they just seemed so majestic. I had been a soldier in my village before, so I figured I would sign up, and here I am. My favorite color would be grey, and my family is still back in my village I guess. We were never really close, my dad was a merchant, always going off and trying to make new deals, though he never seemed to be successful at it. And my mom...well plenty in the town knew of her, if you catch my drift. Alright, your turn, same questions, minus the family one. Everyone knows about the Fletchers."

Ryselle stared at him intently, although she continued to waver slightly in her seat, as he answered her questions. Interesting. When he fell silent, it took her several moments to remember what her questions had been, a deeply thoughtful look on her face.
"I don't really know where I'm from.. Gran found me in a blanket on the doorstep of the Fletcher family estate with a note saying what my name was and who my father was, so I guess you could say I'm technically from there, but I have no idea who my mother is, and my father doesn't care about me. I met him once and he just kind of dismissed me. I decided to help train the griffins because I was bored and sick of the circus and Liz gave me an option and it seemed like a good idea at the time. And my favorite color is purple. Why did you keep glaring at those men in the street?"
Another one out of left field. It seemed Ryselle hadn't been quite so oblivious as she appeared earlier, though still clueless as to the nuances of human interaction and non-verbal cues.

His face went a bit red as she asked that particularly question. He hadn't even realized that she had noticed him doing that. Thankfully his drink arrived in time and he took a much longer swig before answering.
"Well, they were leering, and I heard a couple rather...ribald suggestions geared towards you, and so the glare was to let them know you were off-limits to them. I didn't want you being harassed by dockyard workers your first day in Port Silverion."
He took another drink as he finished speaking and looked at her intently for a moment before asking his next question.
"Why do you like animals so much? It is because you can talk to them? Or because they are better than people?"

Ryselle's brow crinkled in puzzlement as she listened to Sterling's explanation. Leering. She knew that word. She'd seen it in the big book when Gran was teaching her to read. It meant to look at someone in a lascivious or sly manner. She also knew what 'lascivious' meant. She took a few moments to process the implications of what Sterling was saying, then, in typical Ryselle fashion, spoke as soon as the words entered her head.
"So you're saying those men wanted to have sex with me? That's strange. No one's ever seemed interested in doing that with me before. I don't know if it's because I'm odd or because I get along better with animals." She was so upfront about things, and it never occurred to her that it might make people uncomfortable. Not that that would probably stop her, even if she did think of it. Social interactions were bizarre, to her. And the reason for that came in her response to Sterling's set of questions.
"It's a little bit of both.. and that animals make everything so easy. They don't judge me because I'm different from them. They accept me, not just because I can understand what they say and respond, but because I'm one of them when I'm out there. I've slept in trees with squirrels and in dens with foxes and in thickets with deer - I've pulled an aching tooth for a bear and scratched an itchy spot a beaver couldn't reach and played with baby badgers while their mother went to find food. To them, I'm just an animal in people skin. They're so uncomplicated, not like humans with their rules and their 'society' and their etiquette and all that stupid stuff. You're hungry? Eat. You're tired? Sleep. You want to mate with that female? Show her you're worthy, and if she chooses another, you just move on and do the same with another female. There's no pride, greed, love, hate, none of that stuff that makes humans so hard to understand. The animals are the only ones who have ever accepted me just the way I am and liked me for it.. humans are always trying to change me, without stopping to think that you shouldn't do that to someone. Everyone, everything, is made the way they are for a reason, and no one should try to change that."
She stuffed another chip into her mouth and chewed, then took the last sip of her drink. Ryselle had never shared her thoughts on those things with anyone before. She'd been ostracized by humanity at large all of her life, never really accepted by anyone: Not her family, not the circus, not anyone in the Dawn Riders. Except maybe Sterling. A thought which made her narrow her eyes at him in a confused manner. Why didn't he treat her like some freak who needed to be kept far away? She needed to know. And so, she asked.
"You don't treat me like that though. Why?"

"World would probably be a better place if we were all a bit more like animals."
He paused to take a couple more bites of the chips. He hoped they would bring more soon, they were nearly out of chips but half the salsa and cheese still remained.
"Because I am a decent person? I don't think you're meeting the right kind of people if everyone tries to change you so much. I won't deny that I think it is a bit weird, but it doesn't hurt anyone and you seem to be happy so why should I care? Commodore Finch likes you, or she wouldn't have entrusted you with the legion's griffins. Why would I want to change you anyway? I like you exactly how you are."
Calgary drained the rest of the whiskey glass in one long gulp then set it back on the table and signalled for another and some more chips.
"So, you are like the animals right? If someone were to want to have sex with you, how would that persn go about proving themselves worthy of doing so?"

His comment about the world being a better place if they were all more like animals made Ryselle grin, and a laugh fell from her. But it was his statements about liking her, and not thinking she should change - or that anyone else should want to change her - that made her stop and think for a few moments. She decided in that moment that she liked Sterling. Perhaps he was her first non-animal friend? Then her eyebrows shot up in surprise. Why was he asking how someone would prove themselves worthy of having sex with her? Did he want to have sex with her? Surely not. She was so tiny, and even though he'd said he thought she was pretty, he probably said that about a lot of girls. Thinking about it (which was getting harder and harder as the alcohol coursed through her system), Ryselle finally shrugged after a couple of minutes.
"I don't know. No one's ever wanted to. I've never even been kissed. I suppose they'd have to take charge, tell me they want me, maybe throw me over their shoulder and carry me off? I don't understand why humans are so delicate about the whole thing - sex is perfectly natural. If you want to mate someone, I think you should be sexually compatible before making any sort of promises. Like marriage. Marriage is so weird. Why go through all that trouble and money just to have a big party and change your name so your children are accepted by society? Very strange."

"What, like a caveman? You don't need to be romanced for months with flowers and chocolates and poems just go off with another suitor?"
He laughed good-naturedly to indicate the question was more of an observance than something he actually wanted answered. That nobody had ever tried was probably better interpreted as she had never had realized thats what they were doing. A second batch of chips arrived, and another whiskey for him. He drained the glass in one go before speaking, requiring aid from humanty's most able ally...alcohol.
"So then what would you do if I told you right now that that is exactly what I want to do and then put you over my shoulder and took you upstairs?"
He was definitely drunk now. His face was a bit red, and while he wasn't woozy, his speech was slurred a bit, and he spoke the whole thing with a grin on his face that didn't quite match the serious "what-if" tone he was trying to maintain.

"No. Though I do like chocolate. But I get that enough from my relatives, whenever I meet them. And poetry is strange. Why do you need to write something that rhymes and is formatted so oddly? I don't understand why women like it. It makes no sense. I do like flowers though. But I think they should stay in nature."
Leave it to Ryselle to not catch the clues he'd dropped that the questions didn't need to be answered. The concept of 'rhetorical questions' had always escaped her - why ask a question if you didn't want an actual answer? Besides, she was too busy sipping at the lemonade the waitress had brought (unaware that it had the tiniest bit of vodka in it) and digging into the new batch of chips. Which is why she froze mid-bite to blink at Sterling. He wanted to have sex with her? Her brow furrowed as she tried to understand this, wrangling the information as best she could with a booze-addled mind. There was no way he meant that. He was just drunk.
"I'd say that I think you've had too much to drink and it's the alcohol talking, but that if it wasn't the alcohol talking, I would see no reason to object. I like you, you're nice, and I might as well.. what's the term humans like to use.. 'lose my virginity?', at some point. Why not with you? But you're drunk, and it's the alcohol talking, and I'm fairly certain you don't actually want to have sex with me, you just think you do because alcohol lowers the inhibitions and raises the libido."

Well you are wrong I think you are a beautiful woman and I am going to prove to you that I think so!"
He got up and lifted her with one arm onto his shoulder, just as she had said. The waiter quickly brought the key and handed it to Calgary. Assuming she adm't struggled or indicated anything serious to tell him to stop he would go right up stairs and drop her onto the bed, closing the door behind him as he did so.

Ryselle looked up at Sterling with open skepticism, and then her eyes widened as she suddenly found herself up in the air and draped over his muscular shoulder. She twisted her head to see the waitress handing him a key and then they were going upstairs. She remained silent as the door was opened, but she squeaked when she was dropped onto the bed, and she blinked up at him. Then she shrugged and began to unbutton her vest, tossing it aside before she began to pull off her shirt.
"If you're sure."

<The next morning>
Calgary awoke precisely as the sun began to rise, years of everyday training at dawn having ingrained that into his body's sleep cycle. He remembered quite a bit from last night, including taking Ryselle upstairs, although given that she was curled up asleep in his arms still, he could have figured that one out. They were both still unclothed, but e had no desire to wake her yet, so he would just lay there and enjoy the rest until she woke up. Once she did, he would speak.
"Good morning Ryselle."
His voice was a bit hesitant, unsure of how she would react after what happened. After all, she was far smaller and had a lot more to drink than he had last night.

Waking with the rising of the sun was the norm for Ryselle, had been for many years, and not even getting drunk (or having sex) for the first time seemed to be able to kick that out of her. It didn't mean she enjoyed waking up, though. She stirred with a slight groan, wincing at the light that drifted through her eyelids, and pressed a hand to her aching head. It felt like her mouth was stuffed with wool, and she was sore in places she'd never been before, including some muscles she hadn't even realized existed. And then Sterling spoke. This made her come fully awake, and she looked up at him, then down at their nude bodies, before finally looking back up at his face again. Huh. So that hadn't been a dream. And why did he sound nervous? She blinked up at him and tilted her head curiously.
"Good morning, Sterling. Is something wrong?"

"No, just waking up the first time next to a girl is a littke nerve-wracking. Never know how she is gonna react to the night before."
The hand on her head and the groan told him exactly what she was feeling, and he did not envy her in the slightest. Nobody's first hangover was pleasant. He ran one hand gently through her hair, taking great care not to tug on it and make her headache worse.
"How do you feel?"

Committed
Roleplay posts: 94
Age: 20
Physical Description: Coming in at an entirely unimpressive 5'3", Ryselle looks like she weighs less than the average puppy when soaking wet. She is stronger than she looks, which is saying something. She has a fine-boned build, and the white hair (hers being hip-length) and pale skin which her family is known for, but her eyes are a startling shade of lavender-blue commonly known as "periwinkle." She is usually completely expressionless, which often disturbs most people.
-------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Ryselle always wears a white dress, and tends to go barefoot. She often carries birdseed, nuts, and pieces of dried fruit, fish, and beef in the many pockets of her dress, to offer to her animal friends. As with every member of her family, Ryselle (for some reason) carries candy in a pocket, usually the black licorice of which she is most fond.

"Oh. That makes sense, I guess. Do they often react badly?" The feel of his fingers sliding through her hair startled her at first, not being something she was accustomed to, and Ryselle jumped.. but then she realized it actually felt rather nice, and she found herself leaning into the touch as her eyes fluttered shut. Then she sighed softly, laying her head back down on the pillow and unconsciously snuggling closer to Sterling. He was warm, and he smelled nice, and she didn't want to move a whole lot just yet. A tiny smirk appeared on her lips at his question, and she cracked one eye open to gaze up at him as she replied.
"My head aches, it feels like someone sheared a sheep and shoved the fleece into my mouth, and I'm sore in places I didn't know it was possible to be sore. But.. it's actually really not that bad. And I definitely don't regret the reason why. Well, except maybe the alcohol. I definitely had too much of that. But other than the alcohol.. last night was extremely enjoyable." She cut herself off when she was about to ask if they could do it again. Frequently. He probably had a bunch of women he could sleep with, he likely wouldn't want to do that with her again.. she was inexperienced and didn't know what she was doing. Why would he want that?

He gave her a wide smile, and pulled her in a bit closer, planting a gentle kiss on the top of her head.
"The ones that regret it are the worst, they just make you feel bad all day. I had an excellent time last night..you are definitely a quick-learner. First things first though. Lets deal with your hangover and then we have to get to work, no lazing about in bed all day for us. But once we are done for the day...well if you want we can do it again."
He had definitely enjoyed himseof last night. The soreness always reminded him of a long day in the saddle, and since he did that all the time, the associated aches and pains were semi-comforting.

Regret it? Ryselle's nose wrinkled at that, before she let that single eye slide closed again. Why would someone regret something that was so much fun, and made you feel so good? She didn't understand it. When Sterling began to speak of hangovers and work, she grumbled.. but then both of her eyes opened and she looked up at him eagerly. Do it again? She nodded, which reminded her of her aching head, and she settled instead for a bright smile and words, instead.
"I'd like that. A lot." She hesitated for a moment, then stretched up and kissed him lightly. She remembered that they'd kissed quite a bit last night, and it had been very enjoyable. She wanted to see if it was still enjoyable in the light of day without alcohol fogging her brain. The answer was apparently yes, as she drew back after several moments with a contented expression. Then she sighed in a disappointed manner and rolled out of bed, groaning as her head pulsed painfully, before she began to gather her clothing where it was flung about the room and pull it on with only minor difficulty.
"I am never drinking again. Or, well, at least not that much. This hangover thing is terrible."
