"Mhmmm." Delaana replied to Elika's rhetorical question, it even got her to nibble the corner of her lower lip slightly as she continued to look at the architect knowingly. When Lana thought about it, she did spend a relaxing night in the bath, but she also did some other things which were things she'd rather keep for herself right now because after all, it was part of her real calling. All Elika needed to know right now was that Lana just enjoyed the simple things in life and she was just a regular person with a regular job, and that was being Crystal's personal assistant. Insofar she was just truthful and therefore she had nothing to hide so to speak.
Keeping that same smile on her face, it only grew wider when Elika said that she would try to pace herself when it came to alcohol consumption. "I love the sound of that my Shakal." Unable to help herself, Lana leaned over to peck Elika's lips once again and placed her hand onto Elika's thigh soon after as she listened attentively to what Elika was saying about not swimming. Lana pouted a little but said nothing of it instead she smiled warmly and looked at the pool briefly. "I may go in but I will be staying next to you." Winking playfully before taking another sip of her drink, Lana returned her hand to Elika's and gave it another squeeze.
She wasn't feeling hungry right now, since she just had breakfast, it was what she had been doing when she received a comm from Elika, "No, I am fine right now, besides if I feel like I would want to nibble something right now, food wouldn't be my first choice currently." With that she looked at Elika's lips and bit her own lower lip before putting her glass back down. Now that the mist was clear and that the sun was shinning, she was starting to get warm with her dress. To fix that she removed it and revealed her bikini beneath before grabbing the sun cream from her bag just when she head a plop in the water, Lily of course.
Holding a finger up to indicate that she would be along in a moment, Lana looked back at Elika dubiously. "Do you mind?" Lana asked dubiously showing off the cream in her hand, obviously she meant for her back since she wouldn't be able to reach that area.

Whatever Andros was doing, Crystal was also hoping the same thing as Lily right now. Crystal knew Andros to be a workaholic, she also knew that her boyfriend's twin was animated in making the life of the people of Umgul easier. Even on weekends he would slave away in doing those things when he clearly wasn't forced to do so. The man never took any credit for all the things he had done; the universal healthcare, the compensations whenever a worker would be injured during work and every social security aspects. Unless a person worked in the government, he or she would know that all of those things were made possible because of him. He even abolished the death penalty for cheating, though the capital punishment was still present though no longer enforced massively.
"So I turn very dark brown, but really." Crystal chuckled at the thought, not that she would even try to fall asleep here in the sun anyways, "How do I find Pookie's therapist? She seems nice, at least from what I have seen yesterday when Pookie was speaking with her. After I completely have no idea." While Crystal did find the fact that she had no idea who she or Lily was to be surprising, at that moment yesterday, she didn't think much of it. Now that it was brought up again, she could only speculate right now. Maybe Ayodele didn't care about the politics of a planet, and maybe she just preferred it that way. Quite honestly? Like Crystal had said yesterday, she was thankful that Ayodele didn't know her, didn't know Lily and therefore potentially wouldn't know that the Vice-Governor of the planet was standing next to her, maybe. Which would mean that she wouldn't know who Atlantis was either. With everything that had been going on between the two, it was a welcoming perspective.
Hearing someone diving into the water, Crystal raised her head and looked in her childhood friend's direction with an amused expression before looking towards where Elika and Lana were seated. Lana in a bikini who seemed to be asking Elika to put some cream on her. Well that should be a welcoming and interesting perspective for Elika, or so Crystal thought before standing up from her lounge seat to go and take a dip into the pool. Diving in head first, she emerged from the water soon enough next to Lily. "No comments from you, baby girl." Crystal warned Lily playfully before nudging her teasingly. Despite that warning, she was certain that Lily would always come up with something to say anyways.

More than a little distracted by the feel of Delaana's hand on her thigh, Elikapeka nonetheless manages to laugh when told that Delaana intends to stay beside her even should she decided to take a swim, and crinkles her nose as she smiles and says, "While I do appreciate the sentiment, my Ceesi, you shouldn't let my water phobia keep you from enjoying yourself if you want to swim. Lacing the fingers of her free hand through those of the hand Delaana has on her thigh, Elika gives the hand a gentle squeeze as she says playfully, I'm sure we'll survive a little separation, and I won't be too far away. Her cheeks flush a little when Delaana teases about what she'd like to nibble on in lieu of food, and Elika arches an eyebrow while looking as innocent as can be while she asks, It wouldn't? Looking at Delaana through her eyelashes with a slow smile that ruins the innocent appearance she had successfully adopted a moment ago, Elika does her best not to stare as Delaana reveals her bikini, keeping her eyes on Delaana's as, nodding to convey that she will do as asked, she says in a somewhat huskier tone than usual, Anything for you my Ceesi," while reaching out for the sunscreen.
Moving to sit behind Delaana, Elika reaches out to, with deliberate slowness, move Delaana's hair from her neck, gently nudging her head forward slightly so that she can start by putting sunscreen on her neck. Wishing that she knew a bit about massage, while also well aware that even is she did she might not have the boldness required to make the simple task of putting the sunscreen on Delaana's neck, shoulders, and back more sensual than practicality demands, Elika does her best to find a happy medium between the two, applying the lotion a bit more slowly than strictly necessary and doing what she can to ensure that the experience is as pleasurable for Delaana as it is for her without making it obvious to anyone other than them that there might be more going on than simple protection from the sun. Reaching out to move Delaana's hair back from over her shoulder when she has finished, Elika strokes her cheek as she says softly, "There you go my Cessi, and then nods her chin towards where Lily and Crystal are swimming as she smiles and says, You're being summoned I think. I guess I'll have to share you for a little while. Setting the sunscreen aside, Elika reaches for her drink as, standing up and reaching her free hand out for Delaana's hand with a smile, she says, Come on, I'll go and dangle my feet in while you all swim."

"Baby girl, how can I not comment? I look at Crystal with fake indignation, it's not the fact that gorgeous is putting some sunscreen on the Hapan Bombshell that would make me comment, it's the fact that the Hapan Bombshell does have a rocking body. Geesh, the fire extinguisher would have been a great idea. I don't even swing that way, and I am attracted!" I hiss in a low tone before laughing. Looking back at the couple over there, it appears to me that gorgeous seems to apply the cream on Lana very nice and slow.
Oh yeah ... So called it, definitely nice and slow. Giggling at the thought and looking at baby girl dubiously since I already know that gorgeous won't be getting into the water for whatever reason, something tells me that Lover Boy might also stay by the pool later. "You reckon Lover Boy is going to take a dip later with people around?" I do know the reason why I rarely see him shirtless, even though I have already seen him shirtless a few times around this place, baby girl has told me back then that Atlantis is very self conscious about his scars on his entire body. To be perfectly honest, he shouldn't be ashamed of that, and he should wear it with pride or something along those lines.
Noticing that both the Hapan Bombshell and Gorgeous are advancing towards the pool, I turn to look at them with a knowing smile. "So ... how was the massage? Relaxing in the nice and slow way I hope? I am probably inviting a glare from baby girl, maybe a jaded expression from gorgeous and the Hapan Bombshell, something tells me that she won't be affected by my comments anyways. Baby girl did you want your drink by the edge of the pool?" Since I am headed that way anyways to get mine, I get out of the pool and saunter quickly towards our drinks before placing those next to where we can both access it easily and return into the water because the temp difference between the pool and outside, Yuck!
"I wonder where your brother is ..." Perhaps he has gone back inside to grab something else or anything, not that I am that much concerned quite honestly, but one moment he has been here and the next he is gone.

Having overheard Elika not going into the water, Ryan jogged back inside of the lakehouse to go get something. He even started to get it inflated and when he got back on the deck hearing his girlfriend asking his whereabouts, he looked at her and smirked before putting that inflatable mattress next to Elika, if she chose to use it or not. "If you want to use it, feel free." Ryan told her with a warm smile, not only it would allow for Elika to be in the middle of the pool if she wanted to, but also Lana could swim around if she wanted it too.
Tugging his white shirt off, Ryan dumped that on the lounge seat next to where his girlfriend was previously occupying and he smirked playfully before running towards the pool screaming, "CANONBALLLLLLLL!!!!"
And splash.
Emerging back out from the water, he enjoyed the feel of it and the sun, it reminded him of his time spent on Naboo. "I gotta say..." Ryan floated on his back and just swam mindlessly really because it was relaxing and he was sure glad to be doing this with people he cared about and would come to get to know better also in the end. "This is the nice life, we should do it every weekends." Diving back into the water, when he emerged once again, he splashed his sister and his girlfriend.
He might have been twenty-seven and a doctor, at least when he wasn't on a sabbatical, but he still had a kid's heart. Not that he would never work again, it's just that currently he still preferred to be comfortably settled in, and still he wished to get to know better his sister and more importantly his girlfriend because if he did start to work, it would often pull him away.

Delaana had that knowing smile where she knew that she didn't need to reply at all because she was certain that Elika definitely knew what she meant about the nibbling bit. It was with one last smile that Lana finally turned around so that she would be in a better position for Elika to apply the screen for her. Closing her eyes reeling at the feeling of the semi-massage from Elika, Lana's hands curled up into a fists. Lana wished that could have gone for far longer than the factual time right now, but she knew that it probably was best if she did not push it. Instead she looked at Elika with a mischievous expression before leaning over to peck Elika's lips softly. "Thank you, my Shakal." She murmured softly before pulling her head back to smile once more. Reaching for Elika's hand before standing up, Lana turned to look at her side noticing that Ryan had brought forth an inflatable mattress.
Smiling at the gesture and for his thought, she didn't say a thing right now since it was after all for Elika. Lana squeezed the architect's hand and looked at the women in the pool but before she could even reply, Ryan just jumped right into the pool, it definitely made her laugh softly. But coming back to the matter at hand, remembering what Elika had said previously, Lana quirked. "Or you can very well lounge in the middle of the pool provided that there won't be any further canonball." It was a mere suggestion, and if Elika didn't feel like it, she wasn't going to force her to do it, so instead, she squeezed Elika's hand again and released it entirely.
"The massage was indeed all of the above." Delaana replied to Lily's question before winking at Elika and she finally dived into the pool which was warm indeed and she enjoyed that warmth that surrounded her from the water. Emerging back out, Lana swam a little before returning towards where Elika had settled herself to. "Will I one day ever have the chance to swim with you, my Shakal?" Lana asked dubiously and genuinely, considering that Ryan had just suggested that they make this type of event every weekends, she was hoping that Elika would overcome her phobia, but then again Delaana understood completely why she would have that sort of phobia.

No matter the situation, Lily always had that same effect whenever they were calling on a no drama day, her childhood friend always had that punch line to make people laugh, and this case wasn't different at all. Crystal was laughing at what her childhood friend was saying before she rolled her eyes playfully. "You are so impossible, baby girl, it is unheard of." Crystal nudged the Attorney General. It was a known fact, Delaana was good looking, she also had a great personality and every guys in the government building wanted to get to know her. The irony of things if and when those said guys found out that the PA from the financial department was already taken.
Looking away from Elika and Lana to focus her attention once again on Lily, Crystal pursed her lips thoughtfully and shrugged slightly. "I have no idea if he will, perhaps depending on his level of comfort around those said other people." All of them currently in the lakehouse barred Delaana knew about Atlantis' scars on his upper body, besides Crystal seemed to remember seeing Atlantis shirtless when Elika had come back from her business trips. After it would depend, again, on Atlantis but Crystal wasn't about to make any decision for the man.
"Huh?" Crystal was distracted, that was a fact and she had promised herself to stop worrying right now so when she looked at her childhood friend who seemed to be going for her drinks, Crystal nodded to indicate she wanted hers closer too but before even saying a thing Ryan had come out which in essence answered Lily's question and they were faced with a canon ball from Ryan, which caused Crystal to laugh and roll her eyes playfully.
All the guys here, at least those she was close to, seemed to love acting like children whenever it was called for. Again she was grateful that Ryan was acting that way and that their conversation from yesterday didn't leave that much of a bad taste in the mouth. "I am fine with having this weekly, Ry, provided that your girlfriend keeps on making those drinks, and about the food, that is something I will make a decision later on." Laughing playfully before blowing a kiss to Lily, her laughter faded soon enough when she felt something deep in her being.
"Ryan..." She said softly wondering if he was feeling that too, like someone close to them, family was nearby, if he felt it too then it was probably their other brother, otherwise it would mean that it was Virgil. Closing her eyes briefly, knowing that for one, their dad who had his signature hidden Crystal wouldn't be able to sense him, but for the other, the last time she had checked, the man never hid his signature. Extending her awareness around all living things, she couldn't quite find him here planetside so she opened her eyes again and furrowed her eyebrows before looking at her brother again.

Ayodele does not recognize the name of Franz's friend, and therefore does not know of whatever news it was that led him, his cousin and his cousin's girlfriend to suspect the woman might be dead; nor, she suspects, will her knowledge of the Jedi of her past aid her in guessing what sort of woman the friend is. Still, Franz's relief is evident, and so Ayodele smiles, resting a cool hand on her forearm briefly as she says, "I am glad, then, that your friend has returned alive and well Franz. Shaking her head when Franz indirectly asks if she keeps current with the news, Ayodele conveys that she does not, nodding after he has finished speaking and smiling with an amused glint in her eyes as she asks in a perplexed tone as his comment about following a lawyer's instructions had made little sense to her, Per a lawyer's instructions? Well, Ayodele shrugs languidly, smiling as she says, I would not wish you to go against legal counsel, so I will not ask that you tell me of what I have missed in the news. Her tone momentarily losing the traces of amusement that so often flavor it, Ayodele's expression conveying concern and sincerity, she says, If, however, you wish to unburden yourself once the prohibition against drama has been lifted, I want you to know that I am willing to listen."
Holding his gaze a moment longer, intent on making it clear her offer is not made idly, Ayodele smiles and reaches over to squeeze his shoulder in silent support though she says nothing more on the subject in deference to his wishes to avoid souring her mood and to set all drama aside for the day. Franz's concern for her mood is, Ayodele thinks as she returns her hand to beneath her chin and turns to watch the view outside the passenger window as they leave the city and enter a more untouched terrain that offers, to her eyes, far more beauteous scenery, largely misplaced; the affairs of whatever planet she finds herself on, or the universe beyond it, have not been of interest to her for years upon years. News and events, no matter how momentous they seem to those bound up in them or observing them, long ago began to seem repetitive and familiar to Ayodele, who has witnessed or lived through similar circumstances many, many times before; the details might vary, but the stories seem to change little. History, as the saying goes, repeats itself, and few beings have a width and breadth of experience to match Ayodele's where seeing that truth firsthand is concerned. She may, Ayodele thinks, break from her habit of avoiding the news in an effort to better understand what Franz may be facing, to learn if she can somehow help him through it, or she may simply wait and see if he truly wishes her to share whatever it is in the news that affects him as she has a suspicion based on their interactions thusfar that he might be inclined to shelter her from some aspects of his life, to shoulder some things alone as some beings are inclined to do. There is, Ayodele knows, no need to rush to a decision; she has learned and cultivated a vast patience in her time, and there is little she can imagine capable of perturbing that patience.

"Anything for you my Ceesi, Elikapeka whispers back to Delaana with a kittenish smile, following her to the edge of the pool. Smiling gratefully when Ryan sets an inflatable raft down and says that she is free to use it, Elika says, Oh, thank you, that's really thoughtful, and then steps back and squints while cringing as Crystal's brother proceeds to perform a cannonball. Removing her spectacles and using the hem of her dress to wipe the water that had splashed them from the lenses, Elika rolls her eyes theatrically when Lily, being Lily, makes a Lily-like comment that might, coming from anyone else, cause her to be mildly embarrassed, and then adds a playfully aggrieved sigh for effect before turning towards Delaana and crinkling her nose as, regarding the raft, she says, I'll, um, think about it," even though she has already decided she won't be using it since it would feel a bit silly to be floating in the middle of the pool fully dressed, and she can't be entirely sure that she would be able to avoid getting wet, which, coupled with the fact everything she is wearing is white, would be more than a little embarrassing.
Sitting down on the edge of the pool and removing her sandals, Elika sips her drink while dangling her legs in the water, smiling to herself as she watches Delaana dive into the pool and swim around a bit, envying her the simple freedom of being able to enjoy the water. Bobbling her head from side to side with a smile when Delaana swims over and asks if they might ever be able to swim together, Elika says, "Maybe someday my Ceesi, shrugging as she adds teasingly, For now you'll just have to enjoy the swimming enough for the both of us though, and then playfully kicks a leg out to send a small splash towards Delaana as she says, So go on and swim then, smiling coyly as she adds in a quieter tone, I'm enjoying just watching you." It isn't that Elika is unable to swim, or that she is afraid of swimming that keeps her from the pool, but rather the scars on her arms hidden beneath the long sleeves she always wears. Elika knows that she will, more likely than not, have to explain the scars to Delaana sooner or later, but today is supposed to be all about being fun and carefree, which gives her a reason to put off the telling for now.

He and Serrin had never been close, though he respected her that was a known fact and he also enjoyed her company. At least last night it was the real first time he had spent some time with her, granted they were surrounded by others, but the fact that the Twi'lek had been so bold to get Andros to move to sit down, and also the fact that she was still keeping that mystery about the day she had spent with Andros a secret, Franz still smiled warmly at Ayodele genuine statement. It caused him to look at her briefly with a genuine and grateful smile. "Thank you, although perhaps you may come to see her later." Franz said with a knowing smile, after all Serrin was also invited to that day that Lily had tagged as Bikini Fantasy.
Nonetheless like he had suspected, Ayodele didn't follow the news indeed since she had no idea what was happening right now and namely the Vice-Governor of this planet. His first assumption had started yesterday during their coffee meeting, when she asked him who were his striking female friends. Two of them were high executives within the government, though granted they rarely made the news because they wished it that way, he was certain that a few times Lily's name had been mentioned and that her picture was shown on the news when she had just done prosecuting a big case. But that again was a different matter entirely, although it somewhat made him think about the reasons why Ayodele wouldn't want to follow the news, but he supposed that currently it was too soon to ask and therefore he pushed that question away.
"Perhaps on a different day," Franz told her as he briefly glanced at her hand on his shoulder and he looked at her with another genuine expression, smile that said it all, that he was grateful for her offer and he did see that she just didn't suggest that to be polite or anything, but perhaps she truly was interested. "Another day where you and I will get to meet again, hopefully." He briefly put his hand on top of hers that was on his shoulder and gave her cool hand a gentle squeeze as a thanks. He knew that sooner or later he would have to ask her really if she was okay or anything for her skin seemed to be cool each time he came to touch her, like right now, dropping his hand from hers. He focused his attention back right in front of him and knew that they were arriving soon.
"We are almost there..."
Lakehouse
Bringing the airspeeder down after going through some security checks, Franz continued forward right up until they had reached the driveway. "Are you ready?" Franz asked with an amused expression only because he more or less knew everyone right there, and hewas very certain that they were all by the pool now. Franz got out of the airspeeder and helped her out as well before grabbing those said bottles of tequila and the blumfruits putting those on top of the box of bottles so that he could get a hold of the bottle of wine she had entrusted him earlier. "We could circle around to reach them, or we could ring the doorbell though they might not hear that." Franz chuckled thoughtfully before looking at Ayodele to leave her the choice and what she was most comfortable with really.

"Tell me something new, will you? Winking at baby girl upon hearing her whispered words, I am leaning back comfortably against the edge of the pool sipping my drink, still wondering where hot stuff is, but I do not have to wonder long enough since he shows himself with a inflatable mattress for gorgeous, but since I am clearly still listening to baby girl about that question of mine concerning lover boy, I am not focusing that much onto what is going on right there but more here. Baby girl does have a point, although quite honestly, it will not make me look different at lover boy. Scars or not he is still the same guy to me, and again he really shouldn't be ashamed of his scars, and before I can even comment on that fact, Ryan has to cannonball into the pool ... I keep forgetting that often times your brother loves to act like a kid. Rolling my eyes playfully at the thought, I have to admit when you first look at him, you don't figure out that he actually is a doctor, when he is not on sabbatical, the guy doesn't take himself seriously, one of his endearing traits that all guys barred boss man seem to share with everyone. Hot stuff, you are such a jerk sometimes." Having noticed that gorgeous seemed to have cringed on the spot, and her wiping her lenses with her dress, well one of the setbacks in being next to a pool, although I do look at her with an amused expression before shrugging as if to convey, 'guys, right?'
"... Or we could hire a caterer to take care of the food part? It's just a suggestion that I am making in jest really, because quite honestly what is the freaking use to have a caterer here when each and everyone of us, I am sure, can man the grill. Despite my apprehension to cooking really, a barbecue is different. Have a little faith here baby girl, I am not about to burn the entire house because I may mess up the barbecue."
I have no problems in making the drinks, it's my thing really, but since baby girl seems to look suddenly worried, I wonder what it is now. I hope that it's nothing important, and why does she have to bring that up now ... Especially that currently she is looking at her brother, and there is probably something going on with them, the siblings link or whatchamacallit whatever. "Hey! Splashing baby girl because she really needs to cut that out right now although I am not even sure what has caused her to have that pensive expression. Remember, no drama day, unless something is really wrong?" For all I know it could have something to do with lover boy or someone else that baby girl is close to, or even hot stuff, I don't know, I am not attuned to the Force, they are. But sinceriously, if it were something that dramatic, I don't think Crystal would have that kind of expression right now.

Ryan had given Elika a thumbs up and a smile when she thanked him for the raft, really it wasn't that big of a deal anyways, and whether she used it or not, it wasn't a problem, just a way for her to enjoy the sunny day to its fullest and perhaps be closer to Delaana, but he supposed that there were other times and moments for them to be together and closer. Ryan looked towards his sister and to his girlfriend who both were suggesting things and quite honestly he'd rather not get in the middle of that so he preferred to adopt a solemn expression paired with silence.
"Whichever works best for the two of you?" Ryan smiled widely and very innocently before shaking his head with an amused laughter as he returned to floating on his back just closing his eyes and tanning there, although he did not put the sunscreen, well he should probably think about that later, but currently that matter was the last of his priorities for something made him straighten up, or at least the relative nearby presence of someone that he couldn't pinpoint right now, because it appeared that the dude wasn't planetside right now.
Although the more he concentrated in the Force, the more he realized that his other cousin was nearby with someone else. "I feel it too sis, I think that our brother dearest might be nearby." Ryan did not diminish his presence in the Force and even extended his awareness in it before turning to look to where Franz seemed to be, or guess where the man was, the other person, he did not know that person, but in the fear of being perceived as an intruder or someone prying in too much, he cut entirely his connection to the Force.
"I believe that Franz has also arrived with his guest," Ryan said to no one in particular before looking at his sister and even his girlfriend but this was for a different matter entirely, since it concerned Ares. "Can either of you pull some strings and ask if a certain Solaris just landed planetside or if even a vessel registered to Honoghr landed?"

Laughing with an amused smile when Franz suggests that they might speak of what troubles him another day, and then adopting a frown when he tacks a 'hopefully' on the end of his sentence, Ayodele asks, "Hopefully? And here I had hoped that our meeting again was something of a given, Ayodele sighs, shaking her head as she says with feigned confusion, I must be more rusty at this than I imagined," and then smiles, her customary amusement glinting in her eyes.
"I believe so, Ayodele answers when Franz asks if she is ready once they have arrived, her comportment and tone indicative of the calm, relaxed poise that almost always radiates from her, and her amused smile in place; the amusement, at the moment, due to the question's suggestion that she might be apprehensive or intimidated in some way by the fact she will be a relative stranger among a tight-knit group of friends when Ayodele, whose long experience has left her with the easy, natural confidence of an apex predator, cannot even remember the last time she felt remotely apprehensive or wary. Sliding an arm through Franz's and sidling up to his side, Ayodele answers his question of how they should proceed by saying, Circling around makes more sense, and then, as they begin to walk from the vehicle, looks over at him with an amused smile as she asks, Just so I'm prepared, shall I make my own introduction when we arrive, or will you be handling that part of the proceedings?"

Lakehouse
It had been a while since Andros had a rejuvenating sleep, it also had been a while since he just kicked his shoes off so to speak and sleep. Despite everything that had been going on with him, with everything else, from all the conversations that had occurred last night, to which he had fallen asleep to much to his displeasure since he actually did want to follow that up but impossible, he was tired and the fact that he had gotten his cuff links deactivated temporarily he had taken that opportunity to get some real shut eye.
Now it was the next morning, he had already gone for a jog and worked out, the electric shocks were back but those were bearable now that he really did get some sleep and he had just finished taking a shower and wearing clothes that he had retrieved discreetly in the city. There was no way though that he was going to get into the water not with his binds anyways. Right now he was making his way out of the lakehouse in order to head towards the pool, but something stopped him and he turned to look at his side before furrowing his eyebrows. It felt like someone was there, so he did open the door seeing that Franz and Andros had assumed to be his massage therapist being with him.
As per usual, Andros wasn't the fuzziest type of man, but considering the proximity the woman had with Franz, then whatever made his cousin happy. "Franz." Andros inclined his head curtly before looking at the woman, with his same usual stare, before inclining his head in her direction again. Andros was cut off from the Force anyways and any attempts to try and use it, for one it would be really difficult for him to do so, and two he did not wish to use it right now. "I am Andros." Grabbing the box from Franz that contained some alcohol, Andros looked at it with an unimpressed expression before turning around to gesture for the pair to follow him since the noise and fun, supposedly was occurring by the pool.
As he walked towards the pool, he overheard Ryan's words and Andros looked straight at his cousin before putting the box down at the bar and on top there seemed to be some blumfruits. "Birthday boy has indeed arrived." Andros gestured to Franz with a cynical grin before rolling his eyes. Andros didn't care about putting the man on the spot, since after all Franz always did the same anyways. But before that, since Andros really had no idea that there was supposedly a drama free rule right now, he looked at Ryan and arched his eyebrow. "You want to know if Ares has landed?" It was either ATC planetside, then that was indeed something he could ask about straight to the point or he could get Franz to put in a word.
That aside, Andros waved his hand briefly and looked at Elika with a knowing expression and he solely inclined his head before saying to everyone of them. "Morning by the way."

Lakehouse - Pool
Delaana wasn't paying too much attention to the interactions happening in the pool itself between Crystal, Ljiljana and Ryan, but she still heard a few things since she didn't want to pass as being rude. Lana even cracked a smile from the back and forth between Crystal and Lily, something told Lana that it might turn worse as the day progressed, this was just the tip of the iceberg, the day was still young, that she was sure of. Right now though she was still looking at Elika before blinking when the architect splashed her, that caused her to laugh before rolling her eyes. "Enjoying watching me, huh?" Lana asked teasingly and playfully before laughing softly, "That is hardly fair, my Shakal," Winking at her playfully before deciding on the spot to get out of the pool and just sit down next to Elika, although not too close since she didn't want to get Elika wet from her proximity. Leaning slightly over she lowered her tone and whispered. "I'll wait for however long for that someday to come." Lana meant that, she could be very patient, after all she was the very patient type anyways.
Running her hand through her hair to push it back she looked in the pool's direction and furrowed her eyebrows dubiously, apparently something was going on. Somehow it brought concern on her features but she had no idea what was going on so she looked at Elika dubiously. Although the answer, she could guess with Ryan's statement there, came without her asking verbally. Right, of course Ryan did have a fraternal twin, Ares if she recalled correctly. "Their brother finally contacted them?" Lana asked dubiously since it had been one of those talks when she had lunch with them a few times, apparently Ares was unreachable, but now he is here, perhaps though she couldn't really say.
Her train of thoughts cut short when Andros arrived and stated that it was Franz's birthday. "Did you know it was his birthday? Suddenly I feel bad for not bringing a gift for him." Lana whispered softly with a frown on her features though she looked at Franz and Ayodele, and waved at the both of them with a warm smile. "Hi, and happy birthday Franz." Really that was bad, she had no idea that it was his birthday, actually she didn't know a whole lot about the others but what she needed to know, although right now she wondered if she should do something about that situation, but being here invited, she supposed that there was nothing she could have done.
Either way, she just looked at Andros and inclined her head as a greeting, "Si-... Andros, good morning."

Lakehouse - Pool
When asked to be told something new, Crystal opened her mouth and soon closed it again before rolling her eyes with an amused expression. "Sooner or later, baby girl, that will happen but then again you have already heard it all." Crystal shrugged nonchalantly, there was a truth there she guessed but then again there was a proverbial line that she would never cross anyways when it comes to her childhood friend and to the people currently present here also. Now Lily was suggesting a caterer for the food side of this pool party. "Nope, totally vetoing that part, no way." Anything to get Lily away from cooking but then again Crystal was still reeling on the fact that she had managed to put conditions for Lily in order to organize that potential big plan or whatever, to which Crystal wasn't holding her breath for that to happen that soon anyways.
Pushing that matter away currently since she was still focused onto her brother right then and there, so it was indeed Ares and not Virgil, if Ares was indeed nearby, then good, but she really didn't want to hear what he had to say today anyways, but the fact that he was nearby, that was comforting to her. She was grateful for that, and it was obvious when she sighed in relief at what Ryan had just said with her. Though it appeared that Franz and Ayodele were nearby, although she did not feel them earlier because she wasn't looking for Franz in particular anyways. That part made her smile until she returned her gaze to her brother and she shook her head at that. "Ry, technically Lily and I are both civilians, so no we cannot pull some strings on that front, the Councilors at large can depending on the reasons and the higher ups of the government."
It was the way it was, she and Lily were both CFO and AG, she only had her say on funds transiting in the government and Lily could ask for custom logs if and when it pertained a case she was working on, and still she didn't even want to ask her boyfriend because that was just wrong, it wasn't because she was the Headmaster of the Mist Order that she would use that for personal gain so to speak. Looking over to her side and noticing that Andros, one of the people who had those type of permission, had arrived, she smiled seeing him glad to see that he seemed rested, compared to last night, but her musing on that did not go on as he purposely stated that the birthday boy had arrived. Crystal's eyes widened at the realization since the only guy that had just arrived was Franz with Ayodele to who Crystal gave a warm smile, she soon got out of the pool and grabbed a towel from her lounge seat to wrap it around her body. "You guys are all the same, never saying a thing about being your special day." Crystal rolled her eyes and added on soon enough. "Happy birthday, Franz."
Focusing her attention onto Ayodele, Crystal smiled once more, "I am Crystal, it is nice to meet you and I am glad that you could come, now can I get you two anything in particular? We have some cocktail made by Ljiljana, or Lily over there." She pointed at the woman in the pool. "Her boyfriend, also my brother over there in the pool is Ryan then you have Elikapeka and Delaana." Crystal gestured to both women sitting next to one another and smiled once more before looking back at both Franz and Ayodele expectantly if they needed anything. "We also have some soda, coffee and finger foods."

Lakehouse - Pool
Biting her lower lip and arching an eyebrow mischievously while nodding her head to confirm that she is indeed enjoying the watching, Elikapeka smiles coyly when Delaana bemoans the unfairness of the situation, leaning forward to whisper, "Well, maybe I'll just have to try and think of some way to return the favor somehow then, won't I my Ceesi? Cringing theatrically when Delaana notes that she's willing to wait however long it might be for the opportunity for them to swim together, Elika frowns as she warns, That might be quite a wait, and then crinkles her nose as she smiles kittenishly and says, But I'm sure we can think of plenty of other fun things to do together in the meantime."
Reaching over to brush a strand of hair that Delaana had missed behind her ear, Elika nods when asked if Crystal's brother had finally contacted her, "He commed last night after you left to say that he was on his way here. Tilting her head to the side and frowning ever so slightly as she remembers that Crystal had not been sure whether the news her brother had mentioned needing to share with her and Ryan was of the good or bad variety, and wondering whether or not Lily's no drama clause will survive now that it sounds as though Ares has arrived, Elika adds, And it sounds like he's already here too."
Turning when Andros arrives, Elika smiles happily as she waves to him, glad to see that he will be joining them for at least a little while, and then frowns when he informs everyone that it is Franz's birthday while letting them know that he has arrived with Ayodele. Shaking her head, Elika tells Delaana, "No, I didn't know either my Ceesi. Chuckling a little, Elika says, So you really shouldn't feel guilty at all. I don't think any of us have anything for him since he didn't let anyone know it was his birthday." Looking from Delaana to Franz and Ayodele when they arrive and Crystal introduces everyone, Elika waves with a smile when it's her turn to be introduced, and then focuses on Franz as she gives him a playfully annoyed expression to silently scold him for not letting it be known to everyone that it is his birthday.

For a moment there, Franz felt the need to reassure Ayodele that she wasn't rusty but if there was one who was rustier, it would be him, also he definitely had confidence issues too, and he wasn't that great with people he barely knew and also those that barely knew him, though granted, she did know more about him than he did about her. That wasn't problematic to him, he knew that patience was key also he didn't want to rush anything at all. Although the amusement in her eyes told him everything that he needed to know. He just laughed briefly and somewhat nervously though and took a deep breath and blinked a few times.
"I'll do the intro-..." Franz started to say about the introduction part but something, or should he say someone stopped him from carrying on, it was Andros himself. The man looked like his usual self, the pissed off kind but he seemed to be in higher spirits. The man seemed to have at least slept well, even if Franz did see him that very morning but from afar. "Andros." He finally greeted the man after he introduced himself to Ayodele, and he gestured to the woman next to him. "This is Ayodele." Franz said before glancing at her as he was relieved from the box that he had been carrying. He continued to look at Ayodele before leaning over to whisper. "Don't take it personally, he is like that all the time."
Franz should have warned her beforehand but it was too late now anyways, either way Franz followed the man, who also was the Vice-Governor of the planet but Franz said nothing of it since Andros despised that anyways and he didn't get into that with his own introduction. Upon reaching the pool, Franz cringed on the spot when Andros purposely slipped, that he was very sure of, that it was Franz's birthday. He closed his eyes momentarily and chuckled when Crystal made her way towards him and Ayodele and told him off.
"Well... see," Franz started to say and knowing that it was no use to contest that, he would bury himself in a hole, and he also noticed from the corner of his eyes that Elika was giving him an annoyed expression. "Cugini , un po 'di aiuto qui!" Yes it was a fact that he was requesting some help from his cousins but then he looked at Andros with narrowed eyes. "Ahem, and this is Ayodele." Franz finally said after Crystal introduced everyone really and it got Franz to look at Ayodele again reiterating silently the question that Crystal had just asked. But then he remembered that he was holding a bottle that was Ayodele's to give and he looked down at what he was holding before giving it back to her, so she could have the honor to give it to Crystal or whoever.

Smiling with her customary air of amusement when, shortly after Franz says that he will handle the introductions, he is spared that duty when one of his friends, introducing himself as Andros, performs it in his stead, Ayodele inclines her head in imitation of Andros' gesture of greeting after Franz introduces her to him. Glancing over at Franz after Andros announces their arrival and refers to Franz as the Birthday Boy, Ayodele leans over to whisper to him in a tone that lets him know she is, probably unsurprisingly at this point, more amused than annoyed as she asks, "You know how you wanted me to mention any missteps you might chance to make? Inviting me to a gathering on your birthday without making me aware of the fact it is your birthday is something I'd suggest you not do again. Patting Franz's arm to make it abundantly clear she is not truly concerned with the fact he had not let her know it was his birthday, Ayodele lifts her free hand to wave as he introduces her to everyone, saying to them, Thank you all for having me. It is a pleasure to meet you all, she says after Crystal introduces everyone present. Taking the bottle of wine when Franz hands it to her, holding it up as, addressing Crystal as her handling of the introductions makes it seem she is more likely than not the hostess, I have brought this for you all. Walking to set the bottle on the bar where Andros had set the box he took from Franz, Ayodele turns to tell Franz, I do not want anything at the moment. You?"
Walking with Franz after he has stated his preference and gotten anything he might want, Ayodele guides him towards Crystal and, when they are near, smiles as she tells her, "You have a lovely home. Thank you again for inviting us. Or, her dark eyes glint with amusement, for inviting Franz, who invited me." Lifting her face to the sky, eyes closed as she enjoys the feel of the sun on her face, something the mists normally make a rarity, Ayodele laughs after a moment in simple joy. Ayodele's joy is not entirely due to the rarity of feeling the sun on her face, or the equally rare feeling of warmth that has begun to steal through her as her body borrows the heat the absence of the mist makes available. Sensory organs possessed only by those of her species make her aware of the fact many of those present are Force sensitive, a possibility she had been prepared for since Franz's profession would make it likely, though she could not be certain how it might affect her. In the past the presence of so many Force users so near to her would have woken something in her that Ayodele has worked long and hard to deny, and that the buried part of her remains still now, stirring only slightly yet not awakening, fills her with as much joy as the borrowed warmth of the sun that dispels the chill that normally inhabits her body.

Franz chuckled when Ayodele, too, scolded him playfully. He figured that he would hear that a whole lot but he also knew that everyone was joking and he wasn't feeling bad, so to speak, that he did not let anyone know that it was his birthday. Truth be told though the ones who would know it was indeed his birthday, it was his cousins, after, he didn't particular share that fact about him to everyone. Now that he also thought about it, he had no idea when Lily's birthday was, he also had no idea when Elika's one was, and last but not least he did not know when Ayodele's was. "I suppose that now I can take comfort on the fact that I won't misstep about that since you already know." He whispered to Ayodele playfully before smiling warmly.
Franz settled for a chilled bottle of water when he and Ayodele walked over towards the bar, that would answer the question he guessed and he just looked at her sheepishly before returning to where Crystal was just to let her know that she didn't need to worry about getting them anything at all. Taking a sip of his water before nibbling his lower lip in amusement as he remembered how it all happened yesterday. The lawyer was the one who actually pushed him to invite Ayodele on the contrary, he would be traumatized for however long Lily deemed it was necessary.
"Actually, by default, I have to be here." Franz explained to Ayodele with another sheepish smile before glancing back at Crystal, Elika and Lily. "The lawyer I was telling you about earlier, she somewhat twisted my arm to invite you." He smiled warmly looking at Lily with a wide grin this time before glancing at Crystal again and showing Ayodele where she could settle in, on the lounge seats there if she wished it of course but before leading the way to the said area, Franz looked at Ayodele with a knowing smile who seemed to be enjoying the sun.
She seemed to also be laughing in joy, or something but he didn't want to assume at all, which was why he asked. "Credits for your thoughts?" He kept looking at her warmly and even a faint smile before closing his eyes momentarily knowing that there was still that pending question about apparently Ares having landed here, or would be landing soon. But since it was still a no drama day, Franz decided not to get into that and instead sat down on a lounge seat after he led the way there for Ayodele.
