Riina blinked slowly, confused at not hearing the crash but shrugging it off. She sighed, pulling herself back inside her room and walking downstairs to the bar to get a shotglass and whatever happened to be in the nearest bottle.

Riina sighed, giving up on the empty room and taking the lift to the sixth floor. Entering her room, she opened her large, screenless window and sat on the edge, more out than in. Looking out over the nighttime cityscape, she clutched her steaming chai in her hands. "It's so beautiful at night. So gorgeous when all you can see is the sparkling of lights and not the small infectious sacs of waste that populate it," she said to no one. Riina finished the last of the chai from her crystal mug, one of her more favourite drinking vessels. She held her arm out straight in front of her and dropped the mug, listening intently for the minute crash inevitable to follow.

Riina yawned and stretched her arms, walking down to the near-pitch-black bar. She didn't bother to turn the lights on as she sleepily perched on the couch in the scenic room, looking out the window as if to find some random phantom. She checked her phone, 4:36 in the morning and she had one new voicemail. Flinging her phone to the other side of the couch, she decided to check her voicemail after the sun came up.

"He might, but I don't think I'd count on it. It's been a while..." Riina said. "And if he doesn't immediately, he will eventually."

OOC: Krys should be here soon, so I'm gonna sign off. Talk to you later heart

Riina knelt down behind him. She held her chai in one hand and put the other on his shoulder "Sweetheart.." she started sadly, unsure how to finish. He'd been looking for a figment for so long, and every time he thought he had him... "He's got to be out there somewhere," she said, looking out past the window.

Riina sat on the couch with her newly found chai. "Which -him-?" she asked amiably.

Riina bit her lip, unsure whether or not to believe him. She was pretty sure he didn't want to tell her, and she wasn't willing to push the matter and anger him. "Okay," she finally answered, still a bit wary. She stood and walked to the bar to get a much missed Chai. "Want anything?" she asked Jussi.

Riina looked up at him. "I'm sorry," she said simply, folding her hands in front of her knees pulled tight to her chest. "I could understand, if I just knew what it was I have to understand. So many different things could be hard, I don't know what I'm trying to pinpoint here," she explained.

Riina recoiled further from him, instinctively trying to not hurt him. She didn't know what she had done this time, but she scolded herself anyway. "What's hard?" she asked, confused. she had the feeling she should know what he meant, but she didn't, so she scolded herself once more. Riina switched back and forth from playing with the rubber on the sole of her shoe to glancing up at Jussi.

Riina pulled her knees up to her chest, playing with the fringe on the knee of her pants. "I wouldn't hurt you," she said, understanding that he wouldn't believe her. "If you face me and get close, I'll look out behind you and protect you from attack. If you turned your back on me I would still try to make sure nothing attacked you from behind." Riina knew she shouldn't expect more than what she got, it was more than she deserved. She had to admit, no matter how much she didn't want to, that this was as far as it could get.
