Woken from her thoughts she sounds a little surprised.
"Oh hello Ryker!"
She looks up over the couch. "Bacon and ice cream, please?"
She says mischievously.

He laughs. "Bacon and ice cream? Alright I'll make some, anything for you." He smiles.
-
She smiles and settles into the couch. "Oh have you seen Matthius and Tiberious?"
-
"Oh they're off playing video games or something.." He smiles as he begins to make the bacon.
-
"Oh, I didn't feel them around. I know I need to stop worrying about them... But..." She shakes her head. "Ryker what do you know about Ocurvus?"
-
"The uh... Government guy? Not much." He shrugs as he finishes he bacon and gets the ice cream.
-
"Oh," she says thoughtfully. Sitting up she pauses for a second to think.
-
He pauses. "Celeste, why did you go see him."
-
"Something wrong?" He looks over at her as he hands her a bowl of ice cream and bacon.
-
"Ah~ Oh? No.... I don't think so. More like... Mmm," she takes a bite. "More like he's hiding something I think."
-
"Ah... And what would that be." He sits next to her, putting a hand on her knee.
-
She squints a little. Thinking deeply she begins. "I've been looking up the accounting. There is a discrepancy... Or two. Not that they are just underhanded, but certain items with regular use that should last a decent amount of time are being replaced." Another bite. "Plus some other silly things. Anyway, I need a job."
-
"I can always give you a job..." Ryker looked over at her.
-
She waves him off. "No, I want my sisters job. Command an army again like I used to." "What would you have me do anyway?" She says mockingly as she takes another bite.
-
"Well... Do things around my shop, I could give you a very high up position... Command most of my company.. Order shipments, control factory productions..." He smiles.
-
Celeste shakes her head and smiles mischievously. "Ha! And have you over my shoulder all of the time! No way. And anyway, I need to reclaim what was my sisters." Her face became solemn. "Ryker... She's going to come back. Right?"
-
Rykers face became grim. "She will Celeste. She's very strong, if I know Nikki at all." He smiles. "Nikki and I were very close."
-
She nods and places the empty bowl down. Sidling next to Ryker she places her head into his chest. "I miss her. I've never been this far from my Pillar. At least since she acquired me. We're so far away, I can't feel her anymore. Like I think she's still alive... I want her to be."

-
Celeste sighed. She was still a little worried. There was much kept from her. The Pillars were not forthcoming with information. Deep down she knew something worse was coming. Matthius and Tiberius might just be that last line of defense. She pressed a little more into Rykers chest as she wished her worries away. Then she fell asleep.

He sighs in happiness, he held her closely, he cared for a lot. Celeste was beautiful, and kind, and caring. Ryker didn't know how he felt. He cared for her of course, more than she knew. But... Did he care for her in an even more intimate way. He could feel it. But he didn't know if she felt the same feelings. "Oh Celeste..."
