"Did you get him?" Cortana asked her friend as she returned with a dejected look.
"No. He was a greenrider." Pyda told her friend as she slumped into the chair. "I can't believe I keep missing that, I mean it sits on their shoulder for Faranth's sake!"
"Watch a master at work." Cortana told her friend, and got up. She noticed a tall looking guy with Harpers knots. She took a deep breath and placed a look of confusion onto her face. "Um, excuse me. Would you know the way to the Dining Cavern, I'm kind of lost." she twirled a lock of her long hair around her index finger, smiling sweetly.
Tarney smiled right back. "Well, oh so charming young lady, I _would_ happen to know where the Dining Cavern is. Would you like an escort?"
"I would love an escort." Cortana held out her hand for him to take.
"I'm Cortana."
"Tarney." He kissed it softly. "Right this way - and you can bring your friend along if you'd like." If there was one thing Tarney knew, it was a flirt like himself and if he could tease them both a little, well then that much the better.
"Well, you sure know how to impress a lady." She took his pro-offered arm. "And I'm sure my friend can handle the trip herself. She's _very_ independent." Cortana smiled more sweetly, leaning her head on his shoulder. "I however, am not." She was lying of course, and they both knew it. "Now where is this Dining Cavern I keep hearing so much about?" She spread her free arm in a wide expansive gesture, showing the open top of her blouse, and smiling her most seductive smile.
The harper grinned, very much liking what he saw.
"Keep that up, sweet lady, and I'm not sure you'll get to see it today." He leaned close into her and almost whispered in her ear.
"Who said I _wanted_ to get there today?" She looked out at him from under her long lashes, her eyes giving all the invite he'd need, if he wanted it.
Slowly and deliberately, Tarney placed his hands on her hips and walked Cortana backward to the wall. Once there he leaned down with his lips frustratingly close, but not quite kissing her yet.
"Are you sure?" He teased.
"Why wouldn't I be." Cortana replied, placing her hands to his face and pulling him in for the kiss.
**Apparently she is.**
Cortana let out all of her pent up passion from her months of abstinence. The kiss was long and passionate. The two kissed until they could no longer breathe. Their lips parted, faces barely separated.
"Thanks." Cortana gasped. "I needed that." She paused for a few deep breaths. "Why don't we find someplace more... private?" She kept her arms around his neck, letting the wall hold her up.
Tarney grinned. "A weyr would be a good idea - I'm not sure I'll able to behave myself if you continue kissing me like that."
"Well my weyr's just up here. Why don't I show you around?" Her eyes told him that she didn't exactly plan on showing him much of her _weyr_. As she led the Harper away she looked back over her shoulder at Pyda sitting at the table and smiled, her eyes saying:
"_That's_ how it's done."
Cortana's friend crossed her arms and stuck her tongue out at her retreating friend. What fun was flirting anyway?
