A meeting before the match (For SimplyWoo)

[MappleMan7]

Oscar would let out a hearty, happy laugh as he heard Rylie's explanation on his friend's love of his hugs.

"Well- always happy to have another member of the Orelash bearhug fan club!"

Oscar's laughter would tone down to a chuckle, then to a happy sigh as he felt Rylie's hand go through his scalp. Listening to her heartfelt words only made him smile wider as he would press his cheek against hers more- speaking in a much softer tone.

"You best believe this isn't a dream, Rylie. This is the real deal- and I think you deserve every wonderful thing that has come your way"

[SimplyWoo]

Rylie teared up hearing Oscar's sweet comment back as she clung onto him for a little bit before bringing her face into view as she sniffed and wiped at her eyes. "Phew, must have passed by some onions being cut." She muttered as she then brought her fist to her mouth to clear her throat. She then grinned. "Oscar bearhug fan club huh? We definitely need to capitalize on that. That or the Barbaric Brace Brigade, or something like that, we need t-shirts, foam fingers...oh hey, there's the dance hall entrance." She mentioned pointing it out to Oscar as she continued to enjoy her Oscar Taxi Service.

[MappleMan7]

Oscar gave a warm and wholesome smile to Rylie as she sniffed and teared up, not commenting on it as he hummed at the thought of a fan club.

"Hmm... that would be something else to see my name and likeness on merchandise... something to think about later I suppose"

Oscar would turn his body so his back would open the door to the dance hall, taking in the sheer size of it.

"Dang... what kind of trouble could we do here? I see instruments over there if someone wants to try putting the other through a drum... what do you think, Rylie?"

[SimplyWoo]

"Yeah dude, don't forget that. If your merchandise sells well, the higher ups will want to invest more in you." She mentioned as she went back to cuddling cheek to cheek with Oscar, purring a little bit as she enjoyed being in Oscar's arms. She then noticed them enter into the dance hall and looked puzzled at his suggestions as she looked around. "Oh! I guess they have a set up for live bands to get people dancing, that's neat." She mentioned as giggled. "Breaking some instruments sounds great, but would we be allowed to do that without it coming out of our paychecks? As much as I love the idea of us tumbling over some boom boxes, I think we might have to resort to just busting through the side entrance over there and interrupting the show before we do some dives or superplexes off the stage." She mentioned as she rested her hands on Oscar's shoulders, massaging them subconsciously as her eyes wondered around for some more mischief. She looked up at the ceiling and narrowed her eyes a little, thinking she spotted something up on the rafter but then shook her head, dismissing what she saw as she then looked Oscar in the face. "Maybe we should check up on the repercussions on what if we cause collateral damage?"

[MappleMan7]

"Oh- shoot. I never thought of that... we shouldn't be busting up people's personal stuff in the match after all"

Oscar would laugh off his small blunder and walk through the dance hall with Rylie, humming to himself as she made herself comfortable in his arms.

"A literal stage dive? Alright- that sounds pretty good. Been working on my aerial moves too- so I wouldn't mind getting the chance to show those off if I get the chance. You've been warned"

The Barbarian Prince would let out a snicker as Rylie would massage his shoulders, soon reaching the end of the dance hall.

"Oh- thanks! I was feeling a little tense up there lately"

[SimplyWoo]

"Happy to help babyyyyyy." Rylie mentioned with a grin, hearing him hum again as she smiled looking sideways to see where they were heading next as she helped open the door for Oscar to step through. "Oh, this side leads right to our rooms, I will try to leave my window open in case you want to hurl me through the opening." She mentioned pointing over to it. "It's that one." She then noticed a few stares from being carried by Oscar and called out. "What? Have you never seen a taxi service like this before? Sorry, this taxi's taken! You can pay for this service next time he's free!" She mentioned, clinging tighter to him as if claiming dibs as she looked over at Oscar and shook her head before grinning from ear to ear. "Ok, I've been hearing you hum quite a bit, favorite song? Go."

[MappleMan7]

Oscar would walk over to the window that Rylie pointed to, giving it a look over and a raised eyebrow.

"Interesting... absolutely, make sure the window is open. I'm sure as hell not throwing you through a window. Besides- given how we're at sea I'll bet those things are reinforced in case of harsh wind and weather. I can kinda see you bouncing off of your bed and hitting the floor- so I say go for it!"

Oscar would snicker at the thought before outright laughing as the rascal went on a speal to some folks staring at the duo- with one woman seeming to puff her cheeks out at Rylie in jealousy before her friends led her away. At the young lioness's question about his favorite song, Oscar would blink and look caught off guard.

"Shoot uhhhhh.... this is very on the spot. Uh... uh... Michael Buble I believe in you! Best song hands down final answer. Got a lot of songs I like- but that one got me through some tough times"

[SimplyWoo]

"Oh yeah, I definitely don't want you throwing me through glass, I have my beauty to maintain." She laughed out, thinking that was a joke. "I'll also be setting my swordplay weapons out somewhere here in a bag as we mentioned the swordplay earlier, I'll rummage through the bag and toss you your weapon." she instructed before responding to the song. "Ooooo, I know that song you are talking about. Do you ever sing kareoke? I would love to hear you sing that to Kat one day."

[MappleMan7]

"Sounds like a plan- oh... singing? Well..."

Oscar blushed a bit and looked away from Rylie as he started walking away from the window.

"I... sort of have something planned for her on that part. It's a secret though! You can't tell ANYBODY about it! I was hoping to sing to her before we made Port in Florida. Something I hope she'll have to listen to and remember me by while I'm off for the cross promotion"

[SimplyWoo]

"Off for the cross promotion?" She asked puzzled as her tail curved up behind her, almost as if forming a question mark as her eyes widened. "Ooo that sounds big, congratulations, but wait, that involves leaving right? Does Kat know? You will return right? I'm not immediately losing one of my best friends?" Rylie asked as she frowned a little bit about the news in a sad puppy dog look, but racoon instead as she looked in Oscar's eyes.
