Since Crystal had nothing else to add about Andros than what had already been said, she did not add her two cents on that. Ryan and Lily were both right, that was a given though deep inside she still wondered if Andros was ever going to change again? According to Atlantis, Andros went through three changes so far. Crystal had been curious, why wouldn't she be? Especially when Atlantis had told her that back then when they were both Coruscant Security, people had a hard time telling them apart. That must have been a fun moment for them and Crystal just had that faint smile on the corner of her lips as she really tried to picture that.
Snapping out of her thoughts when Lily first said that Crystal was probably overthinking it, but then Ryan offered to accompany her in the morning, she smiled warmly at the both of them and shrugged slightly. "We'll see, Ry. I wouldn't want to disturb the both of you." Crystal told him mainly with a knowing grin before pursing her lips thoughtfully. "Although, it might not be necessary, as apparently Elika wanted to start her workout regimen tomorrow and so there is a probable chance that Franz will be there as well." Crystal knew that Franz was the kind of guy to follow up on his mandate, she guessed, and since he was still assigned as Elika's bodyguard at least until Lucy came back then, Crystal did not see him not being there if and when Elika actually went for a jog.
But that matter could be revisited much later she guessed, and Crystal was more focused onto what her brother was saying now. "But..." Crystal shut her mouth, Ryan did have a point, she just couldn't up and leave to find Ares on Honoghr. Sighing softly and nodding to what Ryan said, she conceded before looking at Elika with a faint smile. "That's right, sweetie. I or even Ryan have no idea under which rock he has been hiding lately and it has been a while since I heard from him. I just need to know that he is okay." Lifting her hand as a warning, she looked at both Lily and Elika before saying with a groan. "I know what you are both going to say, I just sounded like a mom." Poking her tongue out before laughing, Crystal soon shook her head when Elika asked her if she needed anything right now.
"Just take a momentary break, if and when I do need anything, sweetie, I will let you know." Usually, Crystal preferred to do it on her on but she knew that Elika needed to be doing something in order to keep her mind occupied from being worried about Andros and Atlantis. But right now though, Crystal was listening to Lily and she looked upwards exasperatedly before nudging her childhood friend's leg with her foot. "Watch it, baby girl, you might be hit by medical terminologies soon enough and that might frustrate you." Crystal laughed softly remembering that funny conversation between Elika and Ryan last night that got Lily all hot and bothered somehow.
"By the way, sweetie," Crystal started to say as she looked at Elika thoughtfully and dubiously as well. "Are you joining me in the morning before the break of dawn tomorrow or you are going to indulge into some sleeping in?"

Narrowing her eyes in playful suspicion, Elikapeka holds a finger up and says questioningly, "Pacing yourself? holding a second aloft as she adds, Tame? Tilting her head to the side Elika asks Lily, Who are you and what have you done with beautiful? Cringing as it occurs to her that with everything that has been going on in the press the joke might be ill timed or in bad taste no matter how innocently it was intended, Elika says, Sorry, I wasn't thinking."
Sitting after everyone has expressed that they don't need anything at the moment, Elika sits near Delaana, but not right next to her since that would be risking being the annoying new couple that quickly becomes absorbed in their own little world - which, attractive as the prospect sounds, Elika feels might be rude. There is every chance that she and Delaana might do just that anyway, but at least Elika can tell herself that she tried to avoid it, however reluctantly that avoidance was attempted. Smiling at Delaana when she answers Lily's question about how the art enlightenment went, Elika arches an eyebrow warningly as she repeats part of what Delaana said for Lily's benefit, "Art work wise, beautiful, so no comments from you. With a teasing smile, Elika reminds Lily, Tame, remember? Nodding her head in agreement when Crystal correctly guesses that her worry for her brother makes her sound like a mom, Elika pouts playfully and says, There doesn't seem to be much point in saying it now that you've said we're going to say it. More seriously, she says, I'm sure your brother is fine hon', guessing that with Crystal and her brothers being Force sensitives it is unlikely that Ares is in danger or worse as that would probably be something Crystal or Ryan would be able to sense. Taking a sip of her wine, Elika nods again when Crystal asks whether she still plans on jogging in the morning, saying, I'll be there hon', definitely," since her determination to be more serious about getting into better shape has only been reinforced by the relationship blossoming between her and Delaana.

After having taken his leave from Ayodele, and also being kissed on his cheeks, Franz had been pleasantly surprised when she had done that, still though when he felt her lips brushing his skin, he also had been surprised that her lips felt chilly. He figured that it had been a good thing then that they had called it a night. But with her walking him to his airspeeder and him completely skipping a beat when they bade their farewells, Franz had no idea really where he should be picking her up tomorrow. Considering that she probably perhaps lived around TaSpa! he would find her there, around hopefully. By the Force, he seemed like he had blown it but that really wasn't what was really on his mind. Franz wondered if she was actually all right? He expected, he guessed, her to have a higher tolerance with the cold especially being from Polus? How that did even work anyways?
Lakehouse
Parking his airspeeder in the driveway, next to the one Ryan had been using, Franz hopped off the B69 and made his way towards the front door ringing the door bell and when he had been admitted inside by whomever, he showed himself to the living room with still his scarf around his neck and his new clothes. Waving his hand with a satisfied and happy grin on the corner of his lips, his gaze found his cousin right there, coincidentally the sole guy being there, but who was also a doc, so Franz had to ask, but he included everyone here just in case anyways.
"Overly tattooed doc, tell me, what are the causes of someone being overly chilly/cold, and I do not mean that personality wise, but body temperature, medical related and all of that?" Franz asked dubiously before removing his scarf from around his neck and shedding off his jacket since it was warm in the lakehouse anyways. Franz sat down on one of the single seat right there considering that he did not want to just sit to where Lana and Elika were and the other was already filled away. Then he realized that his wording might give Lily some ideas, and he looked at the attorney with wide eyes. "It's not what you think!" Franz quickly said before shaking his head and looking at Ryan with a frown but then he looked at Lily again but also everyone else with a faint smile.
"She accepted tomorrow's invitation, so she'll be here, although I don't think she knew or realized who the both of you," Franz pointed at both Lily and Crystal, since after all they were mentioned a few times in the press considering their positions and who they were within the government. "Are. But," Franz looked at Ryan again and sighed softly. "Chilled hand when I had my hand on top of hers, and chilled lips somehow when she kissed my cheeks before going our separate ways. And she is from Polus, at least she moved from there five months ago. Low tolerance to cold temperature?" Franz asked dubiously although he did not believe that and it showed on his features...

Snorting a laugh when baby girl says that she doesn't want to disturb the both of us in the morning, I shake my head soon enough and look at her with a fake shocked expression. "You can disturb him, I don't care or mind, as long as I am not collateral damage to the waking up process." Winking at her playfully, I end up looking at Ryan soon enough before pecking his cheek. I find it very nice that Hot Stuff spends some of his time with his sister too since I do imagine that it must have been a shock and surprise to have found out that he has an older sister to begin with, but has not been aware of that fact. Now they are just making up for lost time, I suppose. Also I do find it sweet of him to offer to take that said trip to Honoghr in lieu of his sister, because he is right. And I can live without him more or less, despite what others might think. It's fine really separation is a good thing from time to time.
With gorgeous' arrival and the Hapan bombshell, I have my attention focused on the both of them and particularly gorgeous who is wondering what is up with me, although quite honestly I do not find that question shocking, which is why I am waving my hand dismissively before looking at her very seriously. "Did you want her back? I can definitely bring that side of me at the forefront now, all you need to do is ask, gorgeous." I tell her teasingly, but quite honestly, perhaps she should be glad that I am temporarily shelving that side of me because I do not find myself inclined to comment on what Delaana has just said about the art enlightenment and even when Elika warns me, I just look at her with a very peaceful expression, like that comment just has gone above my head. "I wasn't even going to say a thing ..." Laughing at that because I do realize that more often than not, people that are close to me, are so used to me placing in comments whenever, even double entendre most of the time, but right now, nope, nothing, zilch, nada whatsoever. "Enjoy it while it lasts gorgeous."
Even when baby girl points out all by herself that she has just sounded like a mom, I look at her with an amused grin. "When all of this is over, I am so going to grill Lover Boy and ask him what he is waiting for, gorgeous and I want to throw a bachelorette party and then even start planning a baby shower." Laughing softly at that, although for now considering with what is happening, I do not even think about putting lover boy on the spot, or I actually do not want to put him on the spot about those two things, there are just dos and don'ts and those qualify as don'ts. My thoughts stop there especially when I hear the doorbell and I lift my finger up and extricate myself from Ryan to go and check who is at the front door, and it's Pookie. That was fast!
Leading him to the living room after closing the door behind him securely, I return to my spot and sit down next to Ryan. Oh yeah ... That was indeed fast if he is talking about her body temperature. My mind definitely has gone to its usual place; the gutter and I look at him with an amused expression until he finally says the whats and whys he has asked Ryan those questions. I am no doc of course, but that is surprising, although Polus? Isn't that like the ice world or something? "If she is from Polus, shouldn't she have adapted to cold temperatures or something, I mean that is the ice world, right?"

"The offer still stands, sorella, just in case." Ryan told her sincerely. He guessed that it would indeed depend if Franz was going to be there or even Elika as well, but since she was here now, he supposed he would know in a way, that was if his cousin would return from his date with his masseuse to begin with. Although before he could get into that right now, he was more focusing onto the exchange between Lana, Elika and Lily, it amused him, and he wasn't even surprised that Elika found that very uncharacteristic of Lily when his girlfriend said that she was tamer right now. Shaking his head with an amused grin, he refrained from commenting on that because ultimately he knew that he would get into trouble for that.
Ryan definitely did not want to get into the banter between the women. He still knew what was good for him but he guessed that with Elika saying that she would be up for a jog the next morning, that was settled. If and when Franz got here he'd join them soon he was almost certain of it.
Speaking of Franz, or the correct term right now was thinking about him, it seemed that the guy was here when Ryan focused onto whoever had rang the doorbell, yeah that was definitely Franz, he got the clearly feeling that it was the man himself when he opened himself up into the current of the Force before shutting it out completely. That was quick and Lily had been the one to welcome him inside, but before he could ask anything about Franz's date, he had been bombarded with questions. Franz looked very serious, or maybe he was worried about the woman. Ryan looked at his cousin and took a deep breath. "A lot of factors could be taken into consideration for that case, cugino. Anemia, lack of red blood cells, healthy ones, to hypothalamus disorder or even hypothyroidism." And those were only some of the few he could think of right off the bat, but then again Ryan wouldn't know at all until he did look more closely or asked questions, but that would have probably bring discomfort to the woman to begin with, so he wasn't even going to try that tomorrow, but he would be there just in case at least, now that he knew that Ayodele would be there.
Polus.
Ryan never treated anyone from there so to speak, so he did not know the main species' body composition, although he did know about the planet and like Lily had just said, it was an ice world. "Okay, I can tell you are worried about her, it shows on your face, but maybe you are making a big deal out of it?" Ryan suggested thoughtfully before smiling at his cousin warmly. "But hey you have invited here tomorrow, despite all of that, did you at least have a good time?"

Lana was amused by the banters, that really showed on her smile and when her eyes kept moving from one person to another each time someone was saying something. It went from Lily to Elika and Crystal, Lana could really tell that they were very close and it always showed whenever they interacted with one another. It always was taken in good fun, and quite honestly she felt privileged to have been invited to all of this and witness all of that. Though when she heard Crystal asking Elika if she was going to jog in the morning as well, Lana glanced at Elika with a faint knowing smile. In her honest opinion, Lana found Elika just great the way she was, but that wasn't something she was going to bring up at all especially when she did not know the reasons entirely so she kept her silence and sipped her wine from time to time, although Lana did reach for Elika's hand and even scooted a little bit closer before she began to trace some random patterns onto the back of Elika's hand.
Unable to help herself, after hearing one of Crystal's comment, Lana leaned slightly towards Elika to ask in a lowered tone. "What does actually happen when Lily is hit by medical terminologies?" Smiling with an amused grin, especially when she knew that Lily's boyfriend was a doctor to begin with but on a sabbatical, Lana looked towards the hallway and she was even about to stand up to get the door, maybe it was a natural reflex from her considering that she did have some automatism but Lily had been the first one to head there.
Smiling when she noticed that it was Franz, she smiled at him and stopped brushing Elika's hand with her fingertips before listening attentively to what Franz was saying, Franz who obviously had new clothes, and it clearly showed that he was worried about the woman he was genuinely interested in. "It is the ice world indeed, the planet does go below fifty during the day, at least it's what I know about it, also home of near-humans." Lana had never been to Polus but she knew enough about many worlds to give some information. It wasn't really a planet she would visit at all considering the constant temperature there, but Lana did find it surprising in a way to have found out that Ayodele seemed to have a hard time to regulate her body temperature when Umgul was clearly warmer than Polus, at least in terms of comparison since it was still cool but then again, just surprising but like the doctor had just said, there must have been a perfectly reasonable explanation to that.
Although she remembered that Lily might have had a certain reflex or just the terms that her boyfriend had just used might have had an effect on her, which was why Lana was looking at Lily for the time being while she kept on sipping her wine. Also she was glad that Franz seemed to have a good time despite that, as after all, Ayodele was coming tomorrow, right?

Crystal laughed softly when she noticed that Elika had been pouting because she had gone ahead and warned both Elika and Lily that she was already quite aware that she sounded like a mom. "I know you are right sweetie, but it's just that he is still my little brother too and not knowing just makes me uneasy." Whether it was Ryan or Ares, she would have reacted the same way anyways, but in this case, Ryan was here and Ares was still the one not returning any comms or messages. Crystal was already grateful that Ryan was going to be looking into it and even probably going to take that trip if it came to that. But at least for the time being Crystal was able to move above that matter, and it was thanks to Lily who had been going on about that matter again. Crystal shook her head somewhat exasperatedly and nudged her childhood friend's leg once more. "Okay, how about this, if Atlantis does propose in the future, you'll be the first ones to know and if also I am pregnant, you'll also be the first ones to know, after him of course." Crystal rolled her eyes playfully but she knew that those things weren't going to happen any time soon at all especially with what was happening on the planet lately.
Smiling at Elika when she confirmed that she'd be there tomorrow, Crystal inclined her head to acknowledge that she had heard that loud and clear. "I know I said before the break of dawn, but did you actually want to do that a few hours after?" Crystal asked curiously but also genuinely, clearly she did not want to force Elika into anything or even adopt her time for that jog especially when it would be the first time for the both of them to be jogging together...
Before she could carry on with her own thoughts though, she heard the doorbell and wondered who it was, closing her eyes momentarily to get a sense of the person standing at their front door, she was relieved to have found out that it was Franz but a part of her was actually expecting the brothers, Crystal guessed that they were still held up either at the precinct or wherever, really. When Franz did get into the living room, Crystal was about to ask him if he wanted anything to drink or eat even but she stayed her tongue right now despite the grin she had seen from him as she noticed that Franz's gaze had been onto Ryan nearly immediately.
Out of all the questions Crystal had probably expected to hear, she found that Franz's question right now to her brother was surprising. At first she clearly did not know what to make of that question really because he had spoken about body temperature, and maybe her mind erred a little on that, but he wouldn't be here so quickly if that had happened right? And then she finally understood when Franz warned Lily soon enough that it wasn't what Lily thought and coincidentally Crystal as well. Since she really had no knowledge about the people from Polus, never been there and never really encountered the near-Humans from there when Lana brought up facts, Crystal looked at Franz with a faint smile, not because she was amused but more because he really seemed to be worried about Ayodele. "Pookie, I am sure that there is a perfectly understandable reason, and I do not think that you will find the answer amongst us when you can ask her?" Crystal suggested with an encouraging smile, even if Ryan did provide some answers, Crystal had no idea what was the last term he had used but maybe it concerned some hormones? It sounded like a word for hormones, but that was just a guess because she was no doctor at all...
"Now, did you want something to drink or eat? I love your new clothes by the way." She asked and said with a knowing smile before tilting her head briefly on the side waiting to see if he actually did need anything right now. Crystal also remembered what he had previously said, about Ayodele not knowing who she or Lily were, which was probably a good thing then, it meant to Crystal that Ayodele probably did not care about the occurring news. "I cannot believe I am about to say this, although not really, but I am glad that she doesn't know us."

Using the fact that Delaana scoots a bit closer to her as an excuse to do the same, Elika looks over to her with a smile when Delaana begins tracing the back of her hand. Looking from Delaana to Lily when asked if she would prefer that Lily let her usual side back out, Elika widens her eyes as though in fear and shakes her head as she says, "No, you can keep her where she is for now beautiful, and then smiles with a laugh when Lily suggests that Elika enjoy the current state of affairs while it lasts, winking as she teases her, Oh trust me, I'll cherish these moments forever beautiful."
Lifting her wine glass to take a sip to hide her amused smile when Lily warns Crystal that Atlantis will be subjected to an inquisition about his intentions and lack of forward momentum when the current situation has been resolved, Elika decides not to weigh in on that discussion since she knows Crystal's opinion on the subject is not likely to be changed no matter how often Lily threatens to intervene. Shaking her head when Crystal asks if she would rather start their run later than Crystal's usual time, Elika says, "Before the break of dawn works just fine for me hon', so there's no need to change your routine, really." The earlier they start, Elika thinks, the longer she will have to recover since, knowing that she is not only a bit out of shape but also not in the habit of exercising often, she knows from the times in the past she started a new exercise routine that it will take her a little while to build up her endurance.
Leaning over towards Delaana to answer the question about what effect medical terminology has on Lily, Elika whispers into her ear in an amused tone, "Well, let's just say that Lily gets a bit . . . excited whenever she hears those really big medical terms, and then turns her hand over to slide her fingers through Delaana's, giving her hand a gentle squeeze before turning her hand back over so Delaana can continue tracing random patterns on it. Looking over at Delaana and pouting theatrically when, after Franz arrives and joins them in the living room, Delaana stops tracing patterns on the back of her hand, Elika waves back to Franz, who looks as though he enjoyed his date with Ayodele. Since Ayodele will be coming to Lily's bikini fantasy party, Elika supposes that it can be correctly assumed that she also enjoyed the date, which doesn't surprise her at all and makes her happy for Franz. Frowning a little when Franz sounds worried while describing how Ayodele seems to have a lower body temperature than normal for humans and near-humans, Elika waits until Ryan has answered his questions before trying to reassure Franz herself, saying, She doesn't seem like she's sick or anything Pookie, so I'm sure that whatever the reasons might be they probably aren't anything to worry about. Like Crys' said, if you're really worried, it would probably be best to just ask her. Smiling supportively she points out, She'll probably be touched by your concern," since she can't think of any reason Ayodele would react otherwise.

Anemia, Franz that understood perfectly but the rest... "And in basic?" He asked sheepishly wondering what the heck the hypothalamus was to begin with and hypothyroidism. Really Franz had no idea what those things were, although from memory, a long long time ago when he was paying attention to some of his classes that had been unrelated to the Force so to speak, he recalled coming across that word "hypothalamus". Still it did not help him that much but he supposed that they were all right, he could ask Ayodele he supposed if she was alright but then, now he somewhat had broken that unspoken agreement he had with her about not really talking about her so to speak.
Way to go Franz... Way to go. He thought to himself before groaning in annoyance faintly, all he wanted right now was to just curl up onto his seat and not move. Sighing softly, Franz looked from Ryan, to Lily even Crystal along with Elika and Lana. Although mainly Elika and Crystal on this case and Ryan a bit as well. "She did look fine, at least she does, more than fine also, I did offer her my gloves earlier at the park but she said that she was fine. I didn't push and figured she was probably just cold, maybe she was but she didn't look bothered by it." Franz tried to recall if he had seen her shiver or something, but he did see her many times crossing her arms, and now yeah he guessed that he was making a big deal out of nothing.
Moving that matter aside, at least for now, Franz looked at his cousin and nodded to indicate that indeed he had a good time with her. "Mhmm, I did, we had a nice conversation, and she referred to you four as," Franz gestured to the four women currently present in the living room, since he had been with them at TaSpa!. "My striking female friends." He was amused by that, of course, he did not deny that because the four of them were indeed beautiful, but like he had told Ayodele, they were like sisters to Franz anyways, so there was no problem there.
"She knows that I am a Jedi and that the two of you are government officials but she really did not recognize you at all to begin with." Franz informed Crystal and Lily with an encouraging grin, at least that was a plus not only for him but for them with what had occurred during the day. Standing up from his seat again when Crystal had complimented his clothes, he really was glad at the pick the saleslady at Clothe Encounters had selected for him. "Clothe Encounters, totally cool place, and the lady there referred to me as hot mom's friend." Franz left it at that and just exited quickly the living room to go get what he needed which was a bottle of chilled water. He just came back casually and slowly into the living room and sat down on his seat before smirking at what he had said last.

I can live with that, I have been living with that for however long I have known that baby girl and lover boy have been a couple. Sure, I do threaten from time to time but I really do not see baby girl or even gorgeous believe that I would do such thing. Lover boy is lover boy he does have his moments ... As long as I know he makes baby girl happy, I am already happy about that, and I love being happy, right now I am also happy for gorgeous, she and the Hapan bombshell look so cute. Of course I did notice that they are now closer to one another on the other couch, it obviously did not take long, not surprising at all. But instead on commenting on that, since I do have that resolution to be tamer for the time being, I just wink at gorgeous before blowing her a kiss. "I'll hold you onto that, baby girl." I tell her playfully and teasingly before looking back at Elika with a knowing smile. "Good, that moment will probably have expired by the beginning of tomorrow." Which obviously means she has the whole evening to be free from my mind being in its usual place ...
Pookie worried about her, it is so cute to see, they really did hit it off nicely, and my 'awww' moment is broken when Hot Stuff start listing with his fancy lexicon the causes of why Ayodele might have a low body temperature. Closing my eyes momentarily, despite the fact that I am sure that it is noticeable that I am just controlling myself right here and now, I open my eyes soon enough and look at Ryan, Crystal and Franz jadedly somehow. "Sometimes, I think that the three of you are doing it on purpose." For reasons that are my own, although I am sure that gorgeous does have an idea, but I am not about to blurt out that baby girl is actually attuned to the Force, because no one is supposed to know, and with Lana being here, I am not even sure if baby girl told her yet or not.
Thankfully though Ryan doesn't go on with the things since I do agree with baby girl and gorgeous that there is a good chance that there is a very good explanation. I obviously have nothing further to add than what has already been said already so I just listen and nod when it is appropriate until I hear that Ayodele referred to us a striking female friends, which causes me to smile faintly and I do not comment on that fact, not out of false modesty because I really do not have a come back for that right this instant, and I have always believed that it is often Crystal who ups the hot factor and with the presence of Delaana, that just went over the roof. "I supposed you have reassured her, right? We are all spoken for anyways." Winking at him playfully before finding relief on the fact that Ayodele doesn't seem to know who I or baby girl are, that is really a good thing with what is happening tomorrow. Laughing soon enough when Pookie brings out another fact when he was at the store, I obviously turn my gaze onto baby girl because I am sure that the nickname there was for me.
"He said it, or she did, whatever, but see you have that mom vibe." I playfully tell baby girl with an amused expression, although now I do need a drink, since doing nothing but just talking doesn't look right at all. Grabbing my glass and the bottle of Naiana, I pour some into the glass and return the bottle on the coffee table before glancing at gorgeous with an amused expression.

"In basic," Ryan repeated with a faint chuckle before smiling knowingly. "It would mean that I do not know until I see her. But," He gestured to his sister and even Elika who both brought up the fact that Franz's interest seemed fine and that he wouldn't know until he has asked. "What they have both said, just ask when you get the occasion to do so." Ryan smiled knowingly because it really did seem to him that his cousin was indeed genuinely concerned for Ayodele. Ryan knew what that meant universally for a guy, they cared and women were receptive to that. "Seriously man, you have only met her today and already you are concerned about her, I don't see why she wouldn't be touched by your concern, just listen to Elika, she knows what she is saying there."
Ryan left it at that as he proceeded to listen attentively on how that date went. Although he wasn't surprised that Franz wasn't going too much into details on how that actually went and what they did even if there had been some close contact, he was more amused by what Franz was saying about his female friends, or what Ayodele had referred them as, and that made him grin knowingly. "I am not surprised that she referred to them that way." Ryan sincerely said as he leaned back against the couch and just glanced at all of them before his gaze ultimately landed onto Lily, it got him to squeeze her arm gently at that moment before looking up in his sister's direction briefly but then again he didn't exactly knew who the saleslady was thinking about when she referred to Franz as hot mom's friend.
"Well whoever that was, perhaps you had that vibe while shopping yesterday?" Ryan said playfully before shutting up entirely considering that whoever that was, well he really did not want to either get a glare from his sister or just a deadpan look from his girlfriend, so he just occupied himself the best way he could and that was to look around the living room innocently. But it turned out that was his sister who might have been referred as such. His eyes widened at that, and he looked at Franz before standing up from the couch. "Cugino, wait up!" Ryan said as he jogged in the kitchen's direction to retrieve his favorite bottle of beer and he made sure that it was the right one. He took a deep breath and grinned before peering into what was simmering before smiling and he retrieved the pack of candies soon enough, put those in a bowl and came back into the living room with both his beer and the candies.
"It smells good in the kitchen." Ryan said as he put the candies down onto the coffee table and smiled looking at both Elika and Lana. "Pasta e sugo de pomodoro, si?" He asked dubiously before kicking himself mentally and chuckled, "Sorry, I meant pasta and tomato sauce..." Ryan translated immediately before smiling once again.

Lana did not talk much at all, or did not take part in the conversation, not because she felt out of place, but because she had nothing further to add whatsoever about Franz's worries really. She did not know him that much and Lana was certain that his friends and family would reassure him just nicely, instead Lana had still been pleasantly occupied tracing random patterns onto Elika's hand until she understood thanks to Elika what effect those medical terminology had on Lily. Lana smiled in amusement upon finding those reasons and she looked at Elika. "I suppose that it's a good thing she has found her own doctor then." Delaana whispered with a soft giggle before glancing at Lily who looked like she was just trying to just okay with the fact that her boyfriend just said a few medical terminologies, Lana pursed her lips and even started to bite her lower lip when Lily started to accuse both of the men and Crystal.
Despite her current amusement, Lana looked at Franz and listened to him attentively as he revealed a few tidbits of what Ayodele had said about them, it had caused Lana to look briefly at Elika with a knowing smile. "I am not going to deny that about you." Lana sincerely whispered and this time she got a hold of Elika's hand and just laced their fingers together. If Ayodele did not know who both Crystal and Lily were, that was surprising to be honest. In the five months she had been here, how would she not hear about them from time to time or at least Lily since she was often prosecuting a case but Lana figured that maybe there was a clear explanation, maybe Ayodele just didn't care about the ongoing things on the planet. Surprising though...
Lana might certainly look into that sooner or later, but then again since it was a Jedi that had taken an interest on the person, maybe it was unnecessary? Lana did not know but she believed in being thorough... That matter aside, despite the relaxed features and following the ongoing conversation, again she had to purse her lips to stop herself from laughing, but considering that she didn't want to make the situation any more awkward than it was, Lana just looked at Elika dubiously. "Before the break of dawn tomorrow? If that goes on and on, I will probably have to think about keeping up sooner rather than later." Lana coyly said with a playful wink. Considering that she more or less knew Crystal and how she daily worked out, she also had a punching bag into her office! So Lana was pretty sure that she should probably up her workouts too, somehow.
When she noticed that Ryan was looking at her and Elika, Lana looked back at him with a smile when he complimented the scent in the kitchen but his next words, she had no clue what he had just said beside the pasta bit so she looked at him dubiously before smiling when he translated what he had just said. "That's right, although she," Lana glanced at Elika with an amused grin before adding on as she looked back at Ryan. "Did most of the work."

Crystal lifted one of her hand in surrender or to emphasize that she really had no idea what Lily was talking about doing it on purpose. "And how is it that we have done it on purpose when Pookie has just arrived and just asked those questions to your very own doctor?" Crystal asked rhetorically with a faint chuckle before rolling her eyes playfully. Crystal looked at Franz again when he mentioned something about offering Ayodele his gloves and it made Crystal smile warmly. Franz was sweet indeed, even though she clearly did not see him as someone who could have been her probable boyfriend, Crystal still found him sweet and caring. "It does get chilly in the park this time of the day, or evening, so she was just probably cold." She commented to no one in particular, she supposed that knowing a bit how Franz was, he preferred the simple things in life really, after coffee it was the park, and him inviting Ayodele tomorrow.
"Are you going to be picking her up tomorrow, then?" Crystal asked dubiously, so at least she would know instead of just exerting herself in the Force in a way tomorrow. Since obviously while at the spa, she was just not looking into things that much anyways. Also because she still loved the fact that people thought of her as not being attuned to the Force, like she had originally been when she first arrived on Umgul. Her expression shifted from curiosity to amused with how apparently Ayodele had referred them as, which caused Crystal to shake her head. "Well did you tell her that she was striking herself or did you evade the matter and said something else instead?" She teasingly asked before sighing audibly soon enough when again the mom thing was brought up.
"C'mon!" Crystal playfully complained and looked at both Elika and Lily. "I do not have a mom vibe," Crystal cringed on the spot and closed her eyes momentarily before asking. "Do I?" Reluctantly asking that question, Crystal placed the palm of her hand onto her forehead and shook her head slowly. "Maybe it's only because I am worried about my brothers and also because I am playing referee all the time between the two of you." Crystal laughed as she looked at Elika and then Lily. "I totally blame the both of you originally." Crystal just couldn't believe this, if the saleslady referred to Franz as such, there clearly was a problem.
"Please tell me it's not because of the way I dress." She said faking a choking sound as she curled up slightly on the side of the sofa on the armrest. "And I am too young to be a mom!" She muttered playfully under her breath as she noticed that both of the guys had returned with things, although she knew that they had done it on purpose to just up and leave for the kitchen even if they did come back with things. Either Ryan was purposely trying to change the subject for he didn't want to get in trouble, or... Actually no he really sounded serious and Crystal just looked at Elika and Lana with a knowing smile. "See sweetie, you had nothing to be scared of, and obviously you haven't messed anything up. Now please, if you could convince Lily to get behind the stove from time to time, that would be great!"

Elikapeka lifts her wineglass to take a sip, hiding her amused smile when Franz explains that he and Ayodele had been in the park for at least a part of the evening, which, as Crystal points out, might very well be the reason her hand and lips had been cold since it tends to get rather chilly in the evening on Umgul. Smiling sweetly and innocently with a what, me? expression when Lily says that she believes Elika is guilty of purposefully using medical terminology from time to time because of the amusing effect it has on Lily, Elika snickers when Delaana says that the fact that Ryan is a doctor is undoubtedly a beneficial thing for Lily. Leaning over to whisper in Delaana's ear, Elika jokes, "It must make it difficult for Ryan to talk about work though, then laughs, crinkling her nose as she adds, Then again, maybe difficult isn't the right word," before smiling as she brushes a stray lock of blonde hair behind Delaana's ear.
Smiling when Franz lets them know how Ayodele referred to them, her self esteem issues making her assume that the woman was referring primarily to the others since Elika thinks of herself as the plain and somewhat dorky one of the group, Elika looks over at Delaana skeptically when she tells her that she would not deny the claim where Elika is concerned, squeezing her hand and telling her quietly, "Well, see, I would say that striking isn't an adequate term when it comes to you. Smiling kittenishly, Elika adds, Not even close," and bobs her eyebrows before laughing when Franz tells them that he was referred to as hot mom's friend. Holding her free hand up with an I'm saying nothing expression, guessing that Franz was helped by the same sales girl that had helped Crystal and Lily the other day, Elika decides to stay out of the discussion, though she does give Crystal a sympathetic and supportive smile when her friend amusingly moans that she is too young to be a mother.
Looking at Delaana as though she has said something completely ridiculous, which is exactly what Elika thinks her worry about needing to keep up where working out is concerned is, Elika crinkles her nose and shakes her head as she laughs and says softly, "I think you have a long, long time before you need to worry about keeping up, then squeezes her hand gently and adds teasingly, In fact, if you want to take a month or, I don't know, maybe a few years off to let me catch up with you, that would be really, really great. Thank you, Elika says when Ryan comments on the smell coming from the kitchen, waving a hand and rolling her eyes when Delaana says it was Elika that did most of the work, Don't listen to her, it was a team effort. Crinkling her nose, she says, And it's just pasta and sauce, I'm pretty sure a Kowakian monkey-lizard could make that. Arching an eyebrow in playful skepticism when Crystal says that getting Lily behind the stove would be great, Elika jokes dryly, No hon', that would be a miracle. Or the sign of an impending apocalypse maybe," and then winks at Lily to let her know that she is only kidding.

When Franz had headed to the kitchen to get his chilled bottle of water, he had received a message, upon reading it on his way back to the living room and even after sitting down on his seat, Franz was just surprised, in a good way, but still he had been surprised it was mainly the reason why he was missing everything that had been said. Usually whenever any one of the Councilors of the Mist Order issued a special clearance code to any one, all of them would be informed immediately by the intelligence department along with the Vice Governor and even the Senator if they deemed necessary to be informed of such things. Soon enough, Franz smiled before dimming his datapad's screen and put that back into his pocket. He remembered Atlantis being adamant about not believing the news about Serrin Roma's supposedly demise, and now she was here. Certainly with Atlantis, one way to find out he guessed.
Franz closed his eyes momentarily and reached out to the Force to get a sense of what might have been occurring around the spaceport, since he figured that Serrin had just landed and he felt her there faintly, since it was after all a long way to go to just feel and sense people around, but then there was something that had just occurred which caused Franz to raise his eyebrow briefly since he no longer could feel Andros at all.
Cutting his connection to the Force, Franz uncapped his bottle of water and took a sip of his drink while thinking about those things right now. He figured that he would find out sooner or later, although since he remembered Crystal's earlier question about picking Ayodele up tomorrow. He certainly would but then he remembered that... Actually no he did know where she lived after he tried to remember all of their exchange earlier. "About your earlier question," Franz started to say as he looked at Crystal. "Yes, I am picking her up tomorrow at noon. Although when did you actually want to start your uh..." Franz blinked a few times and looked at the women, they would get it he was sure of that.
"By the way Crystal," Franz started to say with a much more serious expression, although he soon smiled and looked at her knowingly. He knew that Crystal had started her training back then with Serrin to at least get a hold of her affinity. "A good friend of yours has just arrived and landed." Franz was cryptic that was a fact, but then again he really had no idea if Delaana was aware that her boss was attuned to the Force, and still the name Serrin Roma was widely known.

"You are killing me." I let them know, whoever are concerned, dramatically. In this case, it's Gorgeous, Pookie and Baby Girl, and Hot Stuff too more or less. "Really just killing me." I repeat with an amused expression before noticing that gorgeous is smiling sweetly and innocently before whispering in aparté to the Hapan bombshell. "Gorgeous, I know that you and I both have missed our chances to being together," I say teasingly and jokingly of course, and I always love teasing her anyways, though I am sure that she knows just like I do that we weren't meant for one another especially with how she and the Hapan Bombshell are really well into a start of a relationship. "But really I would have thought that with the way you do love me, just like I love you, you would have shown a little support there, also stop whispering to your Hapan bombshell!" I am probably not making any sense, but I still do not read on lips and the two of them saying things to one another like that is just killing me, only not really, but I do pout for effect showing outwardly how sad I am right now.
Winking playfully and soon enough at the newly formed couple over there to show that I am in fact just joking, I take a sip of my wine, even though I did say earlier that I was pacing myself ... But what the heck, drinking right now while waiting for the guys beats doing nothing really. Although currently I am looking at baby girl very innocently because, I find it amusing that she goes on to saying that she doesn't have a mom vibe, actually I do not really see it, although from time to time she does with how she often plays referee that is a fact, but otherwise, nope not seeing it. "Baby girl, let them think whatever they want, although I am very sure that once you do deliver if and when you are indeed pregnant, you'll just return to your original size effortlessly. But hey, I'd take it as a compliment if people saw me as a MILF." I say quite bluntly before pursing my lips and looking at Crystal with wide eyes before I am not shocked by what I have just said but I am more on the verge of laughing right now. "And no, it is not because of the way you dress, at all."
Leaving that mom matter at that because I am pretty sure that I could go on and on to convince Kayne that she actually would make a great mom, that is my opinion at least, I look at Pookie when he returns and has asked at what time our thing was going to start tomorrow, but I do finish his sentence, "Our 'bikini fantasy'? Or should I say my bikini fantasy?" Giggling softly, because that is clearly my idea to begin with and I did label it as such, I really do not have an idea for when it would be convenient for both gorgeous and baby girl. "Noon should be good, right?" I ask them dubiously before smiling playfully and poking my tongue out at gorgeous who has just declared that me being behind the stove might be a sign of impeding apocalypse. "Gorgeous, some people just have it and some do not, I obviously belong in the latter category and it's not my fault if these two," Pointing a both siblings, Crystal and Ryan in this case. "Can cook divinely, it runs in their family, so I will just taste what they do and we all know that they'll do it better than all of us combined."
Obviously. Smiling at the thought and winking at gorgeous once more, my attention soon returns to Pookie when he announces that a good friend of Crystal's has arrived recently. I does make me curious, and I do wonder who that person is, which is why I am currently looking dubiously at pookie and baby girl before my attention turns in Ryan's direction. Maybe he'll know, him being sensitive as well.

Tchun and Tchin, my left and right lekku, pull themselves onto my shoulders to drape over the fronts of them as I lean back in my seat and turn my head slightly to watch his face as Atlantis briefly summarizes what has been happening and explains what steps he has taken thus far in respons. Tchun coils its prehensile tip around my left bicep as I nod to convey that I have heard all he has said, frowning in thought as I take it all in. I am familiar with the case in a general sense, having heard what has been reported on the holonews, but suspect that there may be more to know given that it is common for law enforcement agencies to withhold some details from the press; there will be time to learn what those details might be later. His decision to request outside help is sound, especially since, as he acknowledges, Atlantis himself is possibly too close to the events to maintain objectivity; and I can understand his desire to keep his opinions and conclusions to himself for the time being to avoid swaying my opinion, seeing no flaws in the courses of action he has chosen. I will need to know who to approach to offer my assistance in the investigation, and to gain access to any evidence collected so far, but those matters can wait at least until the morning, and so I decide to wait to discuss those things then.
I smile when Atlantis mentions Crystal, telling him, "I will be happy to see her again as well, and then listen as he describes the changes that have taken place since the Mist Order's academy has been completed. From what I recall, the Mist Order has only a small number of members, certainly few enough that seeing to the training of fifty or more learners must be challenging. Before the events on Bimmisaarai I might have offered to help with the instruction of the academy's learners for a time, but I feel it may be some time before I am confident in my ability or qualification to instruct others, and so offer instead, I could look into the possibility of having some of our instructors from the Corellian academy come to Umgul to help you with teaching if you like? It must be taxing to have so many learners to look after. Accepting my identification when Atlantis hands it to me, I return it to its pouch on my belt, nodding my understanding when Atlantis reveals that Crystal has decided to keep her Force sensitivity from becoming general knowledge. Frowning in concern, I say, I cannot help but notice that you've made no mention of Raan, nor were he or his office brought up in any of the holonews reports I've seen. Is all well with him and his daughter?"

Ryan was just fine listening to the ongoing exchanges in the living room, he had his beer, he had his candies and he was happily occupied with those. But what really did amuse him was how his girlfriend qualified his sister. Ryan did make a face at that and shuddered on the spot. "Amore mia?" Ryan started to say looking at Lily with an amused expression before glancing briefly at his sister apologetically somehow. "Tamer, remember?" He playfully said before shaking his head and just taking a hold of Lily's hand and giving it a gentle squeeze. "I am very sure you mean those, but still Crystal is my sister and I really do not want to envision her as such, although I do not have any doubts that she would indeed be a great mom." Ryan smiled before quickly adding on. "Whenever you are ready, of course, sorella but..." Ryan closed his eyes briefly and shuddered at the thought before pursing his lips.
"... And this is me shutting up now." Ryan took a chug of his beer before focusing his attention onto Elika and Lana. The latter said that the former had done most of the work but Elika had been quick to counter that, although her bringing up the Kowakian monkey-lizard did make him snort a laugh due to the fact that he remembered a story concerning Andros and a monkey-lizard that had been told to Ryan a while ago. "I am sure that it'll be good, thank you for cooking." Ryan said gratefully before glancing at his girlfriend who was still trying to get away from the cooking chore. Ryan looked at Elika with an amused smile before looking at Lily. "If it helps, I am not asking you to cook?" Ryan said with a supportive grin before remembering that bikini fantasy thing and he had a knowing and maybe victorious smile. "So... It does mean I can be there tomorrow right?" He asked with the widest grin ever, especially that earlier he had been told that it depended on the fact if Franz did manage to invite Ayodele and since his cousin managed to do so, Ryan was pretty confident to be allowed to being there.
Ryan was halfway to taking a sip of his beer when he heard that a friend of his sister had arrived. He knew for a fact that his sister did have several friends around the galaxy, at least on Coruscant and Alderaan, but that would be one of Lily's friend too, right? Franz just stated that it was a good friend of his sister's and he was clearly drawing a blank since he had limited awareness in the Force unlike Franz and that got Ryan to shrug noncommittally at his girlfriend just to let her know that he really had no idea... Either way he looked at Elika and Lana with a faint grin before pointing at the kitchen. "If you need extra help in there because you need to make more, just let me know I will gladly help."

Atlantis was still focused right in front of him since he was piloting and he didn't want to crash them at all, that would be quite awkward if not ridiculous, but judging from her lack of questions about the ongoing investigation occurring on the planet, he figured that it was something that she'd prefer to get into tomorrow. Not that he complained about that and actually he was quite grateful that they weren't getting into it just now. The whole thing was already annoying the heck out of him and the fact that the lawyer had gone public with that story because Atlantis was very sure that he was in in the right to speak out due to the witnesses that clearly pointed their fingers at Andros, Atlantis just found the whole thing somewhat uncalled for, but then again it did make him wonder what that couple wanted to begin with. Control over the planet? Leadership? Whatever, Atlantis found that completely stupid, especially when he and Andros did not know them and never encountered them before now. Really what was their endgame but just being happy to torment people that were already doing their very best to make this place a secured planet.
For now, Atlantis just stopped focusing onto that matter that clearly was completely ridiculous and so he only focused onto what Serrin had been telling him or even when she asked her questions. Nonetheless Atlantis did smile when Serrin said that she would be happy to see Crystal again as well, the feeling was mutual that went without saying anyways. He knew he no longer needed to linger onto that fact especially when she offered to hail some instructors from Corellia, it got her to briefly look in her direction with surprise before focusing his attention back right ahead of him. "Ah Serrin, you have always been very accommodating, but pray tell me, won't Corellia miss them too much, or won't they be missing you as well?" Atlantis momentarily stopped the airspeeder right there in midair and turned to look at her. "With everything that has been going on, I haven't asked you yet, how are you?" Lifting his hand slightly to let her know that she didn't need to tell him everything right this instant, and that they had plenty of time to do so anyways as from the looks of it, perhaps she might have decided to move on. He did not know. Atlantis supposed that they could talk more later when they are settled, which was why Atlantis got them underway again towards the lakehouse and when Atlantis got them well underway, did he finally reply to her question concerning Raan and Lyra.
"Officially and currently, Andros is the one in charge, Raan has been dealing with a few personal matters." Atlantis said thoughtfully, he did not know what those personal matters were. "I cannot tell you for sure because I simply to not know." Atlantis told her sincerely as he briefly glanced at her with a faint frown. Noticing that they were arriving at their destination, Atlantis brought down the airspeeder and opened the gate with the beeper he had before advancing forward.
Lakehouse
Setting the airspeeder down next to two others, he recognized those immediately, so Franz had come back here then. Atlantis got out of the airspeeder and made a mental note to take it back tomorrow to the spaceport or maybe have someone pick it up, he did not know. "The place hasn't changed much, the one you have come to know as Lily, Crystal's childhood friend is actually the Attorney General now of Umgul. I forgot to tell you that earlier." Atlantis said with a faint grin before extending his right arm on his side and summoning his lightsaber to his hand before letting it float in the air telekinetically, and thus that allowed for his presence to be know to the people inside of the lakehouse especially when he called out through the Force after focusing onto her presence. Crystal...

Delaana was really amused by the back and forth between Lily and Crystal mainly and even Elika. "I really do not think that difficult is the right word for this case..." Lana murmured softly as she smiled slyly soon after when Elika tucked some of her hair behind her ear. Lana still kept that proximity she had with Elika and she still kept her hand into the architect's. It felt nice and it would clearly do for the time being as Lana knew that she couldn't do much more when they were surrounded by others. Currently though since she had been looking from time to time at Lily as well, Lana had that amused expression on her features especially when the attorney went on a rant.
Doing it on purpose, even if Lily just did warn them to stop whispering to one another Lana, turned her head again and whispered softly. "I think you and I are going to get into trouble with her." Glancing back at Lily briefly before looking back at Elika with an amused grin when she had been told that striking wasn't adequate for Lana at all apparently. "I can live with that my Shakal." Lana playfully replied before squeezing Elika's hand in return as she just began to brush Elika's hand gently with her thumb. "And you do know that I do not need you to catch up with me, I like you just the way you are." Lana murmured sincerely and even sealed those words with a peck on Elika's lips before pulling her head back and looking at the architect with a meaningful gaze and slight grin.
Lana leaned back against the couch and smiled briefly and knowingly before glancing from time to time at Elika until she heard Ryan offering some help if it was necessary considering that it sounded that there was going to be a new addition into the lakehouse and a good friend of her boss too? Lana wondered who but that didn't matter much, instead she just looked at Elika dubiously before tilting her head on the side with an amused grin. "We should be fine right, or did we have to prepare more sauce? Or even add something else just in case?" Whether it was another dish or whatever, Lana would gladly help out as well but then again considering that up till now, she had no idea on who else was joining them, they might take the decision afterwards, for now she just looked at Ryan gratefully before smiling warmly. "I am sure that we'll be able to manage, although if we do need extra help, we'll call out for you?" She suggested with a knowing grin, and perhaps Ryan also wanted to not hear too much what his girlfriend had been saying thus far about his sister. Lana guessed that it was indeed uncomfortable for Ryan, but it was the best suggestion she could come up with for the time being. Lana was still curious though to know who had just arrived and surely there was a good chance that Crystal might invite that person to come here or just go and meet that said person, so for now Lana did not want to get ahead of herself, she guessed.
