'What are you?' Helaine wonders, continuing to smile brightly despite her frustration at having her plans thwarted while listening to Svana explain what will need to be done before the changeling and bounty hunter will be contacted. Helaine has encountered species, like the Epicanthix, that are immune to telepathy before, but has never encountered a species that her pheromones did not effect. Perhaps, Helaine thinks, she will need to consider more aggressive means of trying to make the resources of the twins her own.
After glancing at the receipt to see what the new additions will be costing her, Helaine tells Svana, "I'll have the credits delivered to you this afternoon. A SE4 will pick up the floral arrangement, and will have the credits then. Helaine and Lyov have enough credits in a safe at home, set aside in case they should ever need to leave quickly, to cover the costs of acquiring the services needed to move on to the next stage of their plans, both the plan they share and Helaine's own. How will you contact me once the arrangements have been made?"

Umgul City - The Enchanted Florist
Svana stands as she answers, "You will receive a floral arrangement when the first part of your order has arrived. A card included with the arrangement will have a location and time where you are to meet. The large predatory cat rises, following Svana as she makes her way back towards the front of the store, not looking behind to see if the Zeltron follows. Once in the main area of the shop, Svana begins making her way, the cat following at her side, to the checkout counter, and by way of farewell says, I'll send the arrangement of Velanie flowers with your droid. Thank you for your custom, please come again."
Umgul City - 23rd Precinct
After picking Nemes up, Nazani had piloted them to the precinct, and, per their unspoken agreement, they drank their stim caf in silence during the journey since they will have all day to talk shop. Once they are in the room they've been assigned, Nazani asks, "Did you get a chance to go over the crap from Durnin?"
Nemes loosens his tie as he nods, his antennae swiveling towards the door as a pair of unis pass by outside, and says, "We'll need to take a closer look at Tuain, see what kind of jobs she's known for, and if there's ever been any indication she's a Forcie. We'll also want to check Orlov out, see if she shares her boyfriend's interest in dueling."
Nazani shrugs, frowning as she says, "Not sure there's much point, they held some kind of fundraiser last night. They were entertaining a house full of Umgul's elite at the time of the killings. Aninh probably has the best chance of getting info on the bounty hunter and the other chick from the spaceport, so let's ask her when she gets here."
Nemes sips his caf, then says, "Will do. I'm going to go check with the surveillance teams, see if anything's happened since last night. Swirling the last of his caf, staring at the contents, the Rodian says, We might want to think about sitting down with Arezou or Klivian. Pick their brains about who might have the stones to off Sike, or what they might have been after. What kind of odds do you give on that happening?"
Nazani unbuttons her suit coat, sitting down on the edge of the table and looking at the board where the fruits of their investigation thus far are displayed as she says, "Stranger things have happened. You know any one in the OCU that might be able to arrange it?"
Nemes finishes his caf and tosses the empty cup into a waste bin as he says, "I'll ask around. Glancing at his wrist chrono, he asks, Noon, right? I'll be back by then. Comm me if we need to head out for anything before then," and then waves after Nazani nods, heading from the room to check in with the surveillance teams.

Once in the main area of the shop, Svana begins making her way, the cat following at her side, to the checkout counter, and by way of farewell says, I'll send the arrangement of Velanie flowers with your droid. Thank you for your custom, please come again." Helaine smiles and waves cheerfully as she exits the shop, her smile fading as soon as she leaves the store. Svana's almost dismissive manner is irksome, and when combined with the frustration her inability to be influenced by pheromones incites and her apparent immunity from telepathy, the entirety of the situation makes Helaine seriously consider returning later to more aggressively seek a way to gain access to the resources at the disposal of the strange twins. Finding Lyov in his training area when she returns to their home, Helaine watches him take on three droid opponents, looking as always for flaws in his style she might exploit if ever the time comes she faces him. If her plans succeed, Helaine thinks as she smiles and claps for her Master after he defeats the last of the droids, others will remove Lyov from the board for her. "Two weeks, Helaine tells Lyov as she hands him a towel, until our changeling arrives," leaving out that the bounty hunter that is a part of her personal plans will be arriving a week earlier."Good, Lyov answers, wiping the sweat from his face and neck. That should be ample time for any attention Sike's death might draw upon us to die out. It seems highly unlikely that an assassin as skilled as Helaine would have left any clues that could lead investigators to their door, but Lyov has dealt with Jedi enough in the past to know that it is dangerous to underestimate them. The holonews made no mention of the UPD seeking help from the Mist Order, but Lyov knows from the friends he has made in the UPD that crimes involving Force users fall under the purview of the Mist Order. While Lyov has wanted to find a way into the Order's circle for some time now, he recognizes that it may be fortunate that he has not as yet done so. It is amusing to consider that had Atlantis or any of the others accepted his invitation to the fundraiser last night, he and Helaine would have more likley than not been forced to delay their plans. Telepathically influencing normal beings to believe Helaine had been present throughout the evening is one thing, trying to conceal Helaine's absence from Jedi would have been all but impossible. Need I tell you that you are to avoid any of your games for the time being?" Helaine smiles thinking that there are many ways she likes to play and not all are known to Lyov as she reminds her Master, "I only act like a fool, my Master. Will we be reaching out to our dear friends in the police department to keep apprised of the investigation into Sike's death?""Not for now, Lyov tells her. We will know soon enough whether the investigation is of any concern to us, and can decide if any action needs to be taken then. For now, we play our roles and wait."

If there was one thing Atlantis was glad about it was the fact that Elika had actually taken a hold of the crystal he had entrusted her. He did see that she was briefly curious about the whats and whys but she never asked about it, so he was guessing that the Kasha had the desired effect on her. His assumption was quickly proven correct due to the fact that he could tell that her anxiety was dropping gradually. Smiling once more and inclining his head, Atlantis turned to look right in front of him and had heard Franz's question. "Please tell me you do not mean drop in the literal sense?"
Since he had deal so to speak with Elika's case, now he really was wanting for Franz to just relax as well, so he had attempted that joke, what did he have to lose anyways? If Franz wanted to return to his shell, fine far from Atlantis to stop him but honestly though, it was ridiculous from Franz to do so as a Jedi Master. But that was up to Franz, if he could pull that stick out of his butt then great, if not Atlantis might pummel the hell out of him figuratively speaking.
"Wherever you are setting the speeder down, Franz." Atlantis finally said before remaining silent throughout the rest of the trip to the city...
When they had arrived at destination, which was next to TaSpa! for the majority of them, Atlantis stood up from his seat and got out of the airspeeder before helping the others get out of it. He smiled warmly at everyone and inclined his head faintly. "Do traumatize Franz, please." Atlantis requested with an amused grin before looking in Franz's direction. "I am sure that he'll be fine, he is after all surrounded by you three, so please do traumatize him somehow."
This time his attention was onto Elika, and maybe she had that inclination to return to him that crystal he had asked her to hold for the day, Atlantis lifted his hand and looked at her knowingly. "I do want you to keep it for the day or however long you want, besides I do not need it." Atlantis reassured with a knowing grin, besides he knew how to focus entirely on his tasks at hand and he was pretty sure that a person he knew that much wouldn't allow him to be too distracted.

Mace had been leaning against that security railing that surrounded the parking space for the airspeeder. She had not been here long but she figured that this would be the spot where those that she was waiting for was going to land. . . Thankfully she wasn’t wrong at all, pushing away from the railing when that said airspeeder settled down, Mace walked in the direction of the group right there that was disembarking of the vehicle.
“Good morning, everyone.” Said Mace with a warm smile before her gaze found the two men, and whatever was going on with Franz, she figured that one way or the other he would get over it, but then her attention turned in the three other women’s direction. “Welcome home, Elikapeka.” Sure, Mace knew that Umgul wasn’t Elika’s home but really, figure of speech; after all in plenty of ways, this was home away from home.
“Crystal, Ljiljana.” Inclining her head respectfully and with a friendly expression and smile, Mace had her hair tied up in a ponytail and she just wore black pants and a black leather coat zippered up to her neck with a white shirt beneath.
Mace was about to add something else but she looked over her shoulder with a noticeable smirk on the corner of her lips when she felt that a certain someone with another someone she was sure, had departed the planet. Either way, it amused her but at the same time she was already imagine that reaction of a certain someone. Not that she cared right now, but she did look back at Elika to let her know.
“It appears that your Lieutenant has just left the planet,” Said Mace with a faint grin, either way she was amused because she did receive a comm that very morning from Forcias requesting some leave as well. But right now, she knew that she and Atlantis had things to do and she was probably preventing the four others to do what they had to do, which was why she looked at Atlantis dubiously wondering if he still had things to do before they headed to that said precinct.

"What does that even mean?!" I ask with a confused expression. Oestrus cycle, huh? "If that is a medical term, do not even start either baby girl!" I hiss before laughing, they all know what that thing does to me, and really that should be avoided. Clearly avoided. "First there is my hot stuff of a doctor and then gorgeous spouted those medical terminologies on me and then there is you? Really that is just low, baby girl."
Huffing at that, but obviously I am joking and I do not mind because I know what baby girl is doing and I don't mind being teased at all anyways. Although I can see that gorgeous seems to be better now, at least that is what I hope, the two guys and baby girl are all attuned to the Force and I am not, but the fact that gorgeous did sound convincing when she declared that she should be counted int, I take that as a cue that her mood is better and that she isn't about to pull a runner on us.
Finally when the airspeeder lands smoothly, I step out of with the help of lover boy and I thank him with a smile before laughing softly at his request. "I am not the one who requested for black nail polish, but I think I can find ways to indeed traumatize him." I tell lover boy with an amused grin before looking at pookie, he really should just relax to and maybe if lover does have an extra whatever he has given gorgeous, then maybe he should consider giving that to pookie too. But I digress and lo' and behold, Mace is there.
"Hi Mace!" I greet her with a warm smile and even wave my hand as a greeting. "Good morning to you too." It appears that she is here for a reason and maybe that reason is lover boy although I do see that she isn't focused on him but instead on gorgeous who is being welcomed home, and I find her words to be genuine and just nice. Which is why I am smiling and my smile turns wider when Mace informs gorgeous that the Lieutenant has just left the planet.
"At least Lucy does know how to plug away from her duties." I comment to no one in particular, What do the military types do anyways when they are on leave? I have no idea really maybe going back home or something but I barely knows Lucy anyways, so I cannot even make a guess about that, although something does come to mind and I cannot help but to ask Mace about it. "She didn't happen to leave with someone by any chance, right?" Maybe it's a rhetoric question and maybe it's a genuine question, or maybe both but I clearly remember baby girl saying yesterday that Lucy is 'very much' with that Kiffar who healed her, and I can only assume that Lucy is still with Forcias.

"Just search it over the holonet, baby girl." Crystal replied dismissively with a playful tone before shrugging. "I heard about it on one of those holodocus, the description sounded fitting for you." Winking playfuly at her childhood friend before settling back against her seat Crystal closed her eyes momentarily when Lily went on ranting about that term she had just sprung out. "Nuh uh, not low, just descriptive." Crystal reiterated while she kept her eyes closed longer than she had anticipated. She was just sampling the ongoing emotions right now.
Of course she couldn't feel Atlantis, and Franz just seemed, she didn't know how to describe that, Lily maybe confused but just always Lily and always down for a laugh, as for Elika, she could tell that her friend was gradually feeling less anxious, and perhaps she was mainly focusing onto something that allowed her to be appeased. It was after all the Kasha's property, right? From what Crystal could recall, when Atlantis had given her a little lesson about the crystal's in Force users' lightsabers. There were many of those and quite honestly, she found it touching and very considerate of Atlantis to hand that said crystal to Elika.
When they arrived at destination and when Atlantis helped her out of the airspeeder, Crystal took his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze to thank him, she knew he would understand especially when she locked her gaze with his and only gratefulness for what he had done was present in her eyes. Now he was requesting from us to traumatize Franz, Lily would be the one to manage that feat and she had just said it herself, although Crystal wasn't even sure if that would be possible, but maybe it would be.
Crystal was about to address Franz but the arrival of someone had prevented her from doing that. Looking in the person's direction, she could see that Mace was advancing in their direction and she had her hair tied, cleared from her face. It felt like she had not seen Mace in a while and it also felt like she had shown up when it was only last night that Crystal had asked about her to her boyfriend. "Good morning to you too, it has been a while." Crystal said sincerely and happily too, as after all she could now see that Mace was indeed fine, and she looked at Atlantis with a dubious expression wondering if he had anything to do with Mace showing up here and now, when Crystal really least expected it.
"I was asking Atlantis about you last night and I told him that whenever you feel like it, please do come by, you are always invited at our place. I also still need to thank you for the things." Crystal knew that Mace would understand and she did not need to expound on that at all, as after all Mace was bright, so what else she could add to that? The fact that she had come all the way here though, that was touching. Maybe Mace was waiting for them and maybe... Actually Crystal was pretty sure that Mace was waiting for Atlantis about their thing they had to deal with but the fact that she still came to say hello, that is awfully nice of her.
Now she found out that Lucy was gone, and Lily had to ask that question. Elbowing her childhood friend gently, before rolling her eyes slightly exasperatedly, Crystal thought that Lily just couldn't help herself at all. Still, Mace might have seen more approachable now, but there were things she still wouldn't ask to the Kiffar Master Jedi standing before her right now. "Forgive her, she has no filter." Crystal said playfully although there was a truth there, Lily always asked things as they were...

Elikapeka is about to return the crystal Atlantis had given to her to hold onto - no longer so focused on her mental composing that she has not figured out that he didn't need her to hold onto it for him, but had given it to her so that she would have a better chance of successfully gaining control over her anxiety - when he tells her that he wants her to keep it for the rest of the day or for as long as she might need it. Smiling a bit sheepishly, still embarrassed with herself for her irrational outburst, as she carefully places the crystal in the pocket of her sweater, Elika thanks Atlantis by reaching out and squeezing his hand as she tells him, "I'll keep it safe," and then mouths 'thank you', trusting he'll understand that she is thanking his as much for the loan of the crystal as for the subtle way he had done so; not calling attention to the reasons he had done so even though Elika imagines that everyone knows perfectly well why he had given her the crystal. Elika also knows that she owes Franz an apology, though she isn't sure whether the right moment would be now or another time when they are alone; fortunately or unfortunately, before Elika decides one way or another Mace arrives.
Smiling warmly when Mace joins them, Elika tells her, "Thank you. It's so nice to see you. Nodding when Mace informs her that her lieutenant has just left the planet, Elika says, Good for her. She deserves a vacation. Laughing when Lily asks whether her lieutenant has left with a certain someone, Elika agrees with Crystal's statement about Lily's lack of a filter, repeating, No filter, with a nod. Adding her invitation to Crystal's in case it might increase the odds Mace would entertain the idea of accepting it, Elika says, We would really love to have you over, so really please do drop by anytime. I feel like we don't get to see you very often lately."

If it weren't for Atlantis asking him if Franz meant dropping him in the literal sense or even the ongoing conversation behind him, Franz maybe wouldn't have smirked very faintly but still he did not talk just yet instead he continued to just maneuver the airspeeder until he got them at their destination. When he set down the speeder, Franz turned off all of the engines and got out of the vehicle, he checked around for a moment and took a deep breath.
Right the cloth wouldn't help him at all to just pass up perhaps as a Jedi, so he removed it and dunked it in the trunk. He was about to just stand aside but then he heard that Atlantis was requesting the women to actually traumatize him, his eyebrows arched and he shook his head and even managed to chuckle briefly when Lily reminded everyone that he had asked for a black nail polish.
Either way, right now he could see that Elika was feeling better, thank the Force for that and also thanks to Atlantis who had been there to save the day so to speak. Atlantis was just that kind of guy who often had a solution at hand or would come up with a solution sooner or later. Either way Franz knew and understood why Atlantis was always appreciated by most because he was that kind of guy that was considerate and often thought before speaking, Franz guessed. But right now, he glanced momentarily in Elika's direction and inclined his head before smiling a little.
He wanted to tell her that next time he'd think before speaking but Mace's arrival delayed him to do that and he looked at the Kiffar Master before inclining his head as a greeting knowing the reason why she was here. Mace was often just there whenever you least expected it anyways, so he wasn't that surprised that she was here too. "Mace." Franz finally said before stepping aside again just in case some people wanted to land in the vicinity.
Well they should probably leave the place, or just get fully in the city he guessed, which was why he looked at everyone took a deep breath. "We should probably move away from here and just go there onto the streets?" Franz suggested thoughtfully before looking upwards to see if there were any incoming airspeeders.

Atlantis smiled warmly when Elika squeezed his hand and told him that she would keep it safe, and she even mouthed a thank you to him. Elika, just like Crystal who squeezed his hand too earlier and expressed her gratitude, had nothing at all to thank him for, at least that was what he thought. He just did that to help out and anyone in his position would have done the same, at least those who cared about Elika that much, and Atlantis did care about Elika that much. Nonetheless, Atlantis blinked once and smiled warmly, he understood what Elika wanted to convey, after all he could boast on the fact that he did know Elika that much and in the end he would always help out the best way he could. "I do not doubt it." He told her sincerely, because after all he believed her and like he had said before, she could keep it for however long she wanted or even indefinitely, he could after all go to Cerea again to go into a crystal hunt for that Kasha.
Looking in Lily's direction when she stated that she would find ways to traumatize Franz, which Atlantis did not doubt at all, he smirked at the attorney's words. After all, Lily always brought out the crazy figuratively speaking in people that surrounded her. Before he could even comment on that though, he noticed that Mace was standing there, and maybe she had been standing there for a while now just waiting for them to arrive. Who knew? Mace always worked in mysterious ways and it always looked like to him that she was there whenever she was needed or because she had been mentioned at some point. "Hey you." Atlantis said before taking a step back considering that maybe Mace would want to address the three others.
Good, that would allow him to deal momentarily with Franz who thankfully had removed his cloth. Look buddy, Atlantis began to tell him privately through the Force, Atlantis held nothing against Franz at all and he knew that his cousin was still dealing with his own problems in a way. Don't worry about it, okay and please do not pull away, that is the worse thing you can do and know that she is feeling bad also like you are. This is something you and she can fix, don't turn away from that.
Leaving it at that, Atlantis couldn't force anyone to do anything they did not want to, but he could suggest things and whether they would heed that or not, that was out of his hands but he did see Franz smirking and even heard him chuckling, so that was a good first step Atlantis figured, until he focused his attention back onto the four women there when he found out that Lucy had just left and Lily had asked if the Lieutenant did leave with the Kiffar ace pilot. Although perhaps they could continue that conversation away from the speeders landing pads, which was suggested by Franz, Atlantis concurred with that, and he smirked before leading the women as a whole into the streets of Umgul at least just right in front of TaSpa!. Atlantis overheard that exchange and it was true that except a few of them, they rarely saw Mace, she just came and went as she deemed fit anyways.
But not commenting at all, Atlantis stayed put for a moment and wondered what Mace would actually tell them for that invitation...

Mace had greeted both men with a nod and a smile before ultimately returning her attention onto the three other women. She still had that warm smile and her smile even grew wider when Crystal invited her to their place, which was also reiterated by Elika, how could she really refuse that?
But first things first; Mace was amused by Lily’s question and quite honestly she did not mind one bit to be asked that particular question, what amused her the most though was when both Crystal and Elika said that Lily had no filter whatsoever. . . The joy really, in the sense that it was somewhat familiar territory for Mace and she was used to it more or less from Horsea who rarely filtered her mind whenever Mace was around.
Before Mace could reply to all of those questions though, she followed both men who were leading them back to the streets of Umgul city and she clearly saw the place sign, it caused her to chuckle briefly for reasons that she would never tell, as after all it was Andros’ story to tell.
Right now, she looked back at Lily and smiled again. “Lucine Lyn did leave the planet with somebody who also requested some leave this very morning.” Said Mace with a faint smile, she knew they would know who Mace had been referring to anyways, so she did not say who because that was unnecessary after all.
Now though came the part of that said invitation, Mace looked at Crystal and Elika in particular but before even replying to that said invitation, Mace just waved her hand slightly. “No one wants the Attorney General any other way, I am also pretty sure that it’s one of the many reasons why the Vice-Governor offered the position to her. Besides,” Mace looked back at Lily with a warm knowing smile and whether Lily knew or not that she could read people’s mind, not that she was doing it right now, Mace always liked when people just spoke their thoughts. “I do enjoy unfiltered conversations, it keeps everything honest.”
Focusing her attention back onto the two women that extended that invitation, Mace inclined her head and smiled warmly. “How can I refuse that invitation, I cannot promise that I will show, but I do promise to try, and also I do promise to try to show myself more.” Said Mace sincerely, she did not do empty promises, and she never knew what situation was going to spring up but this was the best she could do with everything she had been dealing lately. . .
“If tonight it is a possibility, I shall come around with Atlantis, how is that?” Suggested she genuinely with a warm smile. . . For now though, she was sure that they had an appointment and she didn’t want to hold them off longer than necessary. “Please do enjoy the day at the spa, and again welcome back Elikapeka.”

Now she tells me to holonet it when she could give me the answer right about now. Typical. "Or you could share the knowledge you know!" I tell her with a deadpan expression even if that term does fit me, it still will not help me in figuring out what the hell that term means ... But anyways, I just have to think about it later, after maybe contacting Delaana for my bikini fantasy tomorrow.
Yep, that is a plan, but that can wait later because ... Right now, I am more focused in getting that answer if Lucy did leave with that good looking Kiffar, but I get elbowed by baby girl and I look at her poking my tongue out before chuckling when both gorgeous and baby girl say I do not have any filter, which is the truth. At least Mace does answer that question of mine and I chuckle understanding that it is very serious ... "I really do need to see Lucy and how she is acting around that tall, dark and handsome."
It is a fact, I barely know Lucy, and I must get to know her, I really do not have any information concerning her because it looks to me that the Lieutenant really does not mix business and pleasure. Understandable but really, I am sure that Lucy would be fun to have around ...
Finally I follow the guys and everyone else back on the streets and I listen in the meantime to what Mace is saying. Wow, I like her, seriously, dead on that statement. "Couldn't agree with her more about keeping it honest." I say to no one in particular before glancing up TaSpa!'s sign and smiling briefly at least I can see that pookie might be better, I remember him chuckling earlier anyways but for now I do not comment on that because baby girl and gorgeous are inviting Mace to come around our place, which actually is a great idea!
"Tonight would be fabulous, if you can make it of course." I tell her with a smile understanding completely that Mace might be needed for this or that as I have come to understand, she was also the acting political advisor for the government as a whole, and she is also a Councilor of the Mist Order. Kudos to her for managing all of that. For real. "Thanks, and hopefully you will have a not so taxing day with lover boy." I do not know the reasons at all, but I do mean it, and maybe it has something to do with what I have read this morning, but there are no details at all, although, I do know that whenever it's a civilian case so to speak, the Mist Order never interferes with that, only when it concerns the Force as a general rule ... Or something like that. I just let them wrap up their conversation and wait for everyone else who is supposed to come to the spa before stepping into that place.

A while ago when Crystal asked Atlantis why Mace was one of the people he had that much respect for, her boyfriend had replied to Crystal a 'I am sure you will find out sooner or later, I am sure' and maybe right now Crystal was indeed finding that out for herself. Mace in a way, at least for Crystal, was expressing herself just factually and also maybe without effort or over thinking things. Mace just said things as they were without really making it sound like it was law but just mere suggestions that made people think. Crystal had to admit, Mace was right about Lily, or how she felt about her childhood friend. Crystal did not want her in a different way at all and it also sounded to her it might have been one of the reasons why Andros even offered to Lily that position of AG.
Plus the fact that Mace had clearly stated that she preferred unfiltered conversations because it kept things honest, it was a glimpse in Mace's personality in a lot of ways. Now that Crystal thought about it, the intimidating aspect, sure it was still there but no longer in the forefront, Elika was right, Mace is a sweetie once a person did get to know her and currently she was accepting that invitation in the condition that she wouldn't have anything to deal with immediately. It was true what Elika had just said, Crystal also never saw much of Mace and she always resorted to asking Atlantis about her, but it was still a great step that Mace was accepting that invitation and it made Crystal smile.
"We are really looking forward to it." Crystal said sincerely before glancing at Lily who got her answer about Lucy which made Crystal purse her lips because she wanted to laugh when Lily blatantly stated that she wanted to see how Lucy acted around that certain tall dark and handsome, Forcias, when the occasion came. "If it's not too much trouble, Mace, will it be okay to invite one evening Forcias to thank him also for the job he did on the windows a while ago?" It did sound to Crystal that Mace had most of all the says within the Kiffar Guardians, at least that was what Crystal gathered when she heard that Mace had granted Forcias his leave to accompany Lucy offworld.
Now that they were in front of TaSpa!, Crystal smiled warmly at Mace when the Kiffar Jedi Master told them to enjoy their day at the spa, inclining her head faintly, Crystal gestured to Lily to reiterate those same words in a way. "Thank you very much, Mace." Smiling warmly, she looked at the others briefly knowing that two of them were going to head in a certain direction to continue their investigation, but then she said to Mace. "May the Force be with you." Before turning her attention to Atlantis and she kissed him softly before smiling. "Be careful, hopefully see you tonight and I love you." Crystal murmured softly before pecking his lips once more and finally stepping back still looking at him with a faint smile.
When everyone had said their goodbyes and all that, Crystal hooked her arm around Franz's and looked at him with a faint smile. "Don't think you are going to get out of this so easily pookie, now let's go see if we can get you a beautiful masseuse wearing exclusively leather." She told him playfully before ushering everyone to get inside of TaSpa!

"That would be great," Elikapeka tells Mace with a sincere smile when the Jedi says that she will try and come over in the evening with Atlantis so long as they are able to do so, glad that, provided nothing happens requiring her and Atlantis to work through the evening, they will have an opportunity to spend time with Mace so soon. Not at all surprised to learn that her lieutenant had left with Major Kes, who Elika likes to think of as her lieutenant's major, Elika smiles as Lily says that she needs to see her lieutenant - the thought of the two an amusing one to Elika since she wonders whether even Lily would be able to get her lieutenant to lower her guard; something that Elika has only seen happen once or twice.
Walking to hook her arm around Franz's arm on the opposite side of Crystal, deciding that the best way to move past the earlier incident is to make it clear that she is over it, Elika tells him as they head into TaSpa!, "Don't worry, I won't let them traumatize you any more than I already have this morning, cringing as she looks over and up at him to say, Sorry about that by the way. I was having a, she bops the side of her head with her free hand, totally irrational moment there for a while. It was all me, not anything you said or did."
Once inside, Elika pats Franz on the arm before releasing him and walking to the receptionist's desk, telling the receptionist, "Hello. I'm, or, well, we're, she motions behind her towards the others, the Hekekia party? Party of four that is, and we have reservations for the day-package thing?"

Umgul City - TaSpa!Popping up from behind the reception desk like a jack-in-the-box when the bell over the door rings to announce the arrival of his latest customers, Cosimo Sapora, owner and frequent host of TaSpa! smiles as Elikapeka announces herself and her party like she is asking a question, and exuberantly asks, “Are you sure? You don’t sound sure. I joke, but of course you are sure! Welcome to TaSpa! You have the packages? Upon quickly consulting the dataterminal where appointments are kept and confirming the reservation, the square-jawed human opens his arms wide and declares triumphantly, You have the packages!"
Bounding energetically around the counter, Cosimo, giving no one any time at all to interrupt him or even to speak at all, as is his custom, announces, We start always with the massages! So, he stops in front of Elikapeka, rests his chin atop his hand for a moment and then raises the hand to the sky with his index finger pointing upward as he shouts excitedly, Full body desert hot stone massage! Snapping his fingers, Cosimo bids the male Weequay that appears almost instantly, Take her away! Walking to stand in front of Crystal as Elikapeka is led away for her massage, Cosimo tilts his head to the left then the right before clapping his hands and decreeing, Relaxing herbal essence aromatherapy full body massage, stat! A red haired human female appears in the blink of an eye, leading Crystal away as Cosimo stands in front of Lily, frowning in thought before nodding to himself and raising both of his hands into the air as he shouts gleefully, Tranquilizing hot stone massage! A human male with blonde hair appears and whisks Lily away as Cosimo stands in front of Franz, leans in close to peer into his eyes intently, then stands up and snaps his fingers as he says, Tranquilizing hot stone massage! A brown haired dark complected woman appears and leads Franz away for his massage as Cosimo shouts after the group, After the massages, give them steam!” Each member of he group will be led to individual rooms, their therapists showing them to where they can undress and instructing them to lay down on the tables in the rooms afterwards with sheets provided so they can drape areas they do not want exposed. Each guest is asked to select the type of music they would prefer, if any, and their therapists will outline what will happen during the treatment and ask if there are any specific areas they either want to be focused on or, as the case may be, areas other than those not involved in massage that they do not want to be touched. After making sure the room temperature is comfortable for their guests, the therapists, each one highly trained and skilled in the field, will begin the treatments. After the massages, the guests are left alone to change into soft, comfortable robes; provided with a bottle of water, and offered the option to take a warm shower before they are led to the steam room.

Franz knew that Atlantis was right, it was probably the worse thing he could do now to pull away when he could fix things with the concerned person especially that she was here in the flesh and very much alive. Smiling faintly and nodding but still he remained silent for the time being, he was hoping that his smile and nod would convey that he wasn't going to split at all. For now he just figured to stay put and listen to the ongoing conversation between the women. Mace had accepted that invitation, it was both surprising and not so much when he thought about it considering that he did see Mace from time to time in the academy but it was always for a short amount of time considering that she was always busy with things she had to deal with.
Considering that the two others were going to head off to their other destination, Franz looked at both Mace and Atlantis to tell them to be careful and hoping that the Force will be with them. Before he could say a thing to the remainder people, Crystal had already hooked her arm in one of his and Elika on the other which caused him to chuckle and shake his head but his attention turned to Elika and he removed his arm from hers and wrapped it around her shoulders. "I am as much at fault, Elika so I am sorry. I'll try my very best to be careful." He told her sincerely before he unwrapped his arm around her and they finally made their way inside.
Umgul City - TaSpa!
Letting Elika deal with that said reservation and seeing that a man had popped out, Franz's eyes widened briefly, by the Force, the women weren't kidding if this man was the owner, he really was exuberant... But before he could say anything about that, the man was already peering at them closely and very carefully wondering what was going to happen now until he understood. Now why would Elika get a Weequay when the three of them got humans so to speak but when his gaze landed onto his masseuse, Franz looked at her very silently and just followed her without trouble. He did what he was asked, got changed and removed all of his clothing before he wrapped a sheet around his waist to cover that area and just laid down on the massage table to let the lovely and beautiful lady do her work.
He asked her to work on his kinks on his shoulder blades but also on all of his muscles just to relax his entire body until that was done, he thanked her with a warm smile before he went to take a warm shower and got into that robe and grabbed the bottle of water to be led into that said steam room. He had a happy expression on his features and wondered for a few moments if he should actually get a hold of her comm frequency... Although he shook his head and snapped out of it because he was also technically on duty so he closed his eyes and focused on his surroundings entirely while he was sitting down and leaning against the wall with a placid expression on his features waiting for the others to come here...

Atlantis had a noticeable smile right there as he listened to Crystal and Elika along with Lily looking forward to seeing more of Mace. Hopefully tonight indeed if they did not have anything further to look at with the investigation they were a part of. When Crystal came to him, he placed his hands on her waist and inclined his head when she told him to be careful. Kissing her softly in return, Atlantis squeezed her waist faintly and pecked her forehead soon enough. "I love you too." He said with a warm smile before taking a deep breath as he looked at the others before saying. "Have a great day."
Atlantis watched all of them head inside noticing that Franz was surrounded by not only Crystal but also Elika, and it was with that final smile and final image that he turned around to head at their next destination with Mace.
Making sure that they were alone now and that no one was within earshot, but then he remembered that Mace could very well just read his mind, so he just looked at her dubiously and asked without his lips moving. How did Andros take the news? Keeping it at that considering that he was guessing that not only Mace had sent Ayla to the government building so that Mace's cousin could apprised not only Horsea about the hacking situation but also Andros to let him know that he had been mentioned as the assailant for last night's crimes, Atlantis couldn't say if Andros did blow a fuse last night since he had not paid that much attention for that event in case if it did happen or not.
But considering that he had not heard from Andros insofar, there might have been a big chance that his twin wasn't going to do a thing for the time being. Either way right now they had reached the precinct and Atlantis decided to not go inside just yet since they still had a little more time. Enough time for him to smoke a cigarette.
Which was what he did when he took a cigarette out of his pack and lit it up while he closed his eyes momentarily. Thankfully the mist was covering him and Mace but he did not take that chance and just went to stand aside far enough from the precinct's entrance before he glanced at Mace again. "Apparently from Franz, yesterday while he was here in the city he overheard a few things, homicides had occurred close by, maybe there is a link there, although there were no traces of lightsaber wounds that time..."

Mace had told Crystal that she could invite Forcias whenever she wanted because she clearly had no say in that aspect of his life, whatever he did when he wasn’t on duty or because he wasn’t needed, that wasn’t her call at all. Forcias was his own being who could very well take his own decisions. All in all Mace had said yes and that was the end of it until she bid a farewell to the four of them but also hoping that she would be able to make it tonight.
Turning around to walk away from the spa’s exteriors, Mace walked next to Atlantis and noticed from the corner of her eyes that the man was about to ask something, but nope it wasn’t through the Force, it wasn’t vocally, so there was one other option. Mace shrugged slightly and closed her eyes momentarily before replying. “Like however Andros would take that kind of news. Which is like always.”
When they got to their desired destination which didn’t seem far from here, Mace had decided to not enter the precinct just yet and looked at Atlantis thoughtfully noticing that he was wearing what Andros would have worn which was all black, plus his coat wasn’t the usual long red duster. An idea came to her and she smirked at the thought briefly. “If I told you that you looked like Andros right now wearing all black, what would you tell me or better yet, what would you have done?” Asked Mace in a near murmur and considering that the two men did look alike, but they really did differ in their temperament, maybe he could have passed up for the Vice-Governor right now, and if only those two said witnesses were still held up, Mace would have probably enjoyed to see them realizing that Andros might have been standing right in front of them to finish the job. . .
But she was certain that it might not happen and that was up to Atlantis to either do it or not either way right now, she was still waiting patiently and in the mist, thinking about what Atlantis had relayed to her. Apparently there had been other crimes but no lightsaber involved. Mace also still had that copy of the indentation left by the weapon on the Bothan’s chest. No matter which angle she looked at it, the only explanation she had for that it was because the person who killed the people last night was not only an expert at concealing themselves but he or she was also an expert sword wielder. . . Which could only mean fencer or some sort of dueler.

Waving my fingers to say goodbye to the two Jedis, I actually have been thinking about getting Lucy there when baby girl invites Forcias one evening. I really do need to see how Lucy reacts around tall dark and handsome. I have already seen a glimpse of her relaxing with that said Kiffar, I still remember that evening ... Oh yeaaaah, all being hot and bothered with him. "Baby girl, please do manage to get Lucy there too whenever you do invite Forcias." I giggle at the thought because even if I have only continuously seen Lucy imitating a statue, I am pretty sure that she and I might get along and maybe I can make her relax one way or the other.
Umgul City - TaSpa!
Stepping inside of the spa, I am not surprised to see that exuberant owner and I even purse my lips before looking slightly upwards ... Oh boy, here we go again ... And again gorgeous has that Weequay, why can't we just have a little break? I have no idea but even before I do say a thing requesting a change here and there it is too late, just too late because my masseur comes into view and I look at him from head to toe. Of course, I have to check him out. But, Nope sorry, you are just lacking that certain hook ... I think to myself, maybe if he does have a couple of tattoos or if he does smell good, then maybe, but nope, sorry I shall pass ...
There might have been a time when I would have probably said something, maybe even flirted with the guy, but that is so passé and I am very much taken by Ryan, and I just want my tranquilizing hot stone massage which is probably why I am following the guy without even asking what his name is, and I strip from my clothes and lay down on that massage table with a sheet wrapped around my lower private part explicitly telling the masseur to always stop at my thighs and to never go upwards when he is working on my legs and to never go lower the small of my back. Thankfully though he does listen and just works his magic to relax me and just make me enjoy this experience completed with the relaxing music that I have chosen which coincidentally is a remix of one of the songs baby girl has chosen last night.
When my massage is done, I try to lift myself from the table but I have to try a few times before taking the man for his lovely work and I do go take a shower to get rid of that oil that might have been applied on my body and I follow him to the steam and that is when I see pookie already there. Making sure that my bathrobe is securely wrapped, I juggle with the bottle of water before sitting down next to Franz. "So tell me pookie, I trust that you have enjoyed the first part of that experience?"
Winking at him and taking a sip of my water before crossing my leg over the other to wait for the two others, something does come to mind in the meantime though, which is why I look at pookie again dubiously. "How many weapon does lover boy have, I saw him dismantling one of his lightsabers ..."

Umgul City - TaSpa!
If it weren't for the fact that Crystal was attuned to the Force, she would have been surprised when that exuberant owner popped up from behind the desk. Thankfully though she wasn't surprised and she had expected at least something startling from the minute they walked into the place. Crystal wasn't surprised that he had not changed at all and the fact that he wasn't letting them talk at all, that was starting to be unnerving especially when Elika got a Weequay again, really... Honestly? Crystal pursed her lips and shook her head until she saw who the masseuse was assigned to her. Crystal could have perfectly asked Cosimo to switch, but nope, instead she just let that go and self imposed on her a no drama clause otherwise this day might turn awkward and they had already gotten past that original situation so there was no point to add more.
Silently following her masseuse, Crystal noticed just in time who was going to be Lily's masseur, that made her look over her shoulder with a noticeable grin before winking playfully, but alas Crystal wasn't about to tease Lily about that man because for one despite the fact that the man might have been good looking, Lily didn't really look that much at the guys now ever since she and Ryan got officially together.
Finally getting into the room, Crystal stripped and just lied down on the table on her stomach, a sheet was covering her intimate parts and she just gave her instructions to the masseuse before letting her do her job without a fuss, she wasn't that picky anyways and as long as by the end of it Crystal was fully relaxed she had nothing to complain about. Requesting a certain music to be played, she might have dozed off from time to time due to the fact that the massage was both soothing and relaxing from the beginning until the end.
Crystal knew that all good things came to an end and she sat up on the table before putting on her robe. Declining a shower for the time being, she just grabbed the bottle of water and made her way to the steam room seeing that some people were already there. Sitting down lazily, and thankfully she had grabbed a towel on her way out of the massage room, Crystal rolled the towel to use it as a pillow and just lied down on the marbled bench that went around the steam room.
"Three." Crystal had lazily replied to Lily's question since she did overhear that question she had posed to Franz before furrowing her eyebrows and she lifted her head slightly to look in Franz's direction for confirmation. "He does have three sabers, right? Two always located on his forearms and the other one whether at his back or his boot...?"
