A Glorious Comeback (1x! with *Adashi*)

[mandalorian]

Rhys lays back properly once they've parted, back flat on the bed. His eyes close and a smile crosses his lips hearing Jack purr again, rubbing the others back gently. “We'll just... we'll rest for a bit. And then figure it out." He mumbles.

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

"Yeah... Yeah... maybe its just animal brain in me being paranoid for no reason." He mumbled, easily settling under the touch at the moment as he let his eyes close so to show complete relaxation now against rhys.

Rhys wants to argue against that and point out that technically Jack should know Hyperion better than anyone, and if that's his first thought of their next actions, it'd probably be correct. He doesn't for fear of riling up the other and simply makes a noise of acknowledge, turning his head to press a kiss to the top of his head before settling back down.

Jack lets out a soft breath, but accepts the kiss and gives a soft purr escaping him as he settles down and for now, eases into a nap to relax himself as well as keep rhys from going anywere since he's ontop of him. It was quite the enjoyable nap, even if he's rudely disturbed by rhys echo, pinging with a message that someone was there to see him and that it was an emergency because that person had another person with them, someone they'd just recently dealt with at the moment. Jack mumbles tiredly, sitting up a bit before deciding to try and roll over so to lay on rhys echo and muffle it and keep rhys there.

Rhys jumps awake when his echo goes off, awake in nearly an instant, before he realizes where exactly he is and he lets out a sigh of relief. He wraps his arms around Jack to try and pull him close, grumbling in annoyance when Jack blatantly rolls off him to cover up his echo. He stretches himself out over the bed before rolling into Jack's side, gently nudging his abdomen with his elbow. “I gotta check it, Jack." He mumbles.

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

Jack lightly preses his feet against rhys legs and pushed slightly, not really an attempt to kick rhys off the bed or anything as he mumbles a 'no you don't', determined to stay ontop of the echo, even if the nudging effectively moves him every so often unto the echo wasn't underneath him anymore. It makes Jack grumble, but finally sit up with a small huff, tail thumping against the bed roughly to show displeasure.

“I'll make it up to you later." Rhys assures quietly, eyes half lidded from sleep as he moves forward, crawling half way onto Jack to give him a few soft kisses. “You can decide how." He adds on after a moment, giving Jack one last kiss before leaning back and taking the echo, opening up the messages. It takes a few seconds to register before he's getting off the bed and pulling his shoes back on, smoothing out his outfit after and then pulling his suit jacket on in a rush.

Jack mumbles an 'i better get to decide' as he returns the few soft kisses while he can before he settled down and just remained in bed for now.

Fl4k was currently at the front of atlas, a few feet away from the reception desk at least with another man. An older gentlemen with some pretty white hair and currently smoking while they wait for rhys.
"This is a bad idea." Fl4k mumbled, getting a 'we'll be fine' from the other man who waves the beast master's concerns away as they took a long drag from the cigarette in hand.

[mandalorian]

“Stay here unless you absolutely need to come down. I'll maybe be back soon." Rhys says once his jacket is on, moving back to the side of the bed and kissing Jack's forehead before leaving the apartment as fast as possible. He gets down to the bottom floor and heads for the front of Atlas and the receptions desk, shoulders straightening and the soft personality melting back into his CEO persona as soon as Fl4k and the other man are in view. “You're back soon." He comments as he approaches, before looking at the smoking man with a friendly smile and simply gestures to one of the no smoking signs nearby before focusing on Fl4k again. “What can I do for you."

[Agent Maine(Meta)]

"Coming back wasn't our idea." Fl4k stated as the other looked at the sign but seemed to nod, easily putting it out against the sole of his shoe before sticking the end in his pocket. "Ah, i see you and my pal over there have met then, good. I think you two just got off on the wrong foot and it devolved from there. Ya see, the company we were hired by really want something you have. But i was told that you aren't to keen into handing it over. So i wanted to see if perhaps a compromise could come about? You can keep your creature, but, if you can show us how you accomidate them, maybe even any research data you already have on them too. Maybe this information will appease our employeer and we'll be out of your hair. Everyones happy." They informed in as calm and a polite manner as possible.
