"As long as you leave my ass alone, sure you can try to knock me out later." Moira had spoken next, and he'd been somewhat surprised that she didn't even grimace slightly at his use of her name. "No, never did. Came close but she was the boss' daughter." The man who would be Mandalore pushed into the circle and spoke, the sight of him erased any lingering doubt that it was his old friend.
"I'm sure." he'd say, voice laden with sarcasm at Ral's insistence he too hadn't gone soft. "Bandwagon? Or just joining in on punishing a man for interrupting a party?"
He took the other man's hand and returned the embrace, listening as he only briefly touched on the matter that had sent all of them reeling years ago. It was typical Ral fashion and for their present environment was a suitable answer to his unasked question What the hell happened to you? Pushing away from each other Ral continued to go on, talking about how he and his cousin never ceased to be a pain in his ass, or on time. He laughed, "Well you know what they say, everyone is good at something."
Before he could fire back with his answer and own questions he felt the woman that had been surrounded by darkness standing behind him, he shifted and stepped back so she'd be more included in the conversation and heard Caed's snide comment, he'd not changed too much in spite of appearances. Ral was quick to jump to the woman's defense, verbally censuring Caed for his comment. She was staring at his friend in an impatient and rather expecting manner, it was a strange one and Kex couldn't quite gauge what it could mean. None the less he inclined his head politely and offered a gloved hand to the woman, briefly remembering the etiquette that had been drilled into him by the Jedi Order. "A pleasure." he'd say, "And sometime before you... went missing, it's been a while we can leave it at that."
He'd release the woman's hand as Moira pushed into to introduce herself as Talia Al'Saif. Al'Saif then, not Vizsla... Still not Vizsla after everything. He sighed, probably much louder than he' intended and shot a sidelong glance to Ral and then from Ral back to Evelyn. Suddenly the looks she'd been giving Ral and the curious looks he could have sworn he noticed his cousin give the other woman made much more sense to him. This other woman was dating his friend, which ya know on one hand he couldn't blame him for she was a good looking woman. But on the other hand triggered something in him, the part of him that had spent years hearing "Moira this... Moira that..." And its not like it had stopped after they'd learned she was Bardan's cousin, if anything it got worse.
"You mean to tell me you guys still aren't married?" he'd asked Ral and Talia, some how unaware the latter had walked off and that the only woman next to him was infatuated with Ral. "You've been alive this whole time and you what decided you needed to take the scenic route? Make a few pit stops here and there?" he punctuated the last part with a quick jab of his thumb in the woman's direction. He could feel eyes start to fall on him, and it was then he realized he might, maybe, made just a little, tiny huge mistake.
