Varykino, also known as the Lake Retreat, was the name of the island in a lake at the Lake Country of Naboo that consisted of the Naberrie family's retreat house. Generally, the name "Varykino" was also applied to the villa itself. Convergence, the ancestral home of House Palpatine, was situated at some distance from Varykino.

*Within several minutes, Octavious lands the star skiff on the landing pad of the secluded mansion on the other side of the Naberrie retreat. It was a few miles away and even the Neberries had no idea of it being used as they were usually in Theed. Octavious shuts down the controls and turns everything off. He walks back to where Mirania was laying down.*

Mirania had been more or less passed out after Octavious had laid her down, and had slept through the entire trip to Naboo. She stirred as the ship made the landing, and woke when she saw him approaching. A small smile appeared on her lips as she sat up slowly, glad that he seemed to be keeping his promise to her. She was very much looking forward to the next few days, as it wasn't every day that you got a vacation to Naboo of all places...
Still smiling, she sat up all the way as he entered the room."So...about that date then..."

Even as roughed up and tired as he was, it felt nice not to have a threat looming nearby or be detained. Funny how only a few hours ago they were in a cell, and now they were here in paradise at the Lake Country. Octavious holds out his hand.*
"Told you I'd take you here. Time for a quick tour."
*The ramp lowers and Octavious waits for her to take his hand so they can exit.*

Mirania took his hand and allowed him to lead her off the ship, smiling more when the fresh air of Naboo hit her. Just what she needed after the ordeal on Utapau, and she suspected that Octavious would be in need of some R&R as well. She squeezed his hand."Lead on."She still felt a little tired, but the fresh air was already doing her some good as she felt her fatigue starting to melt away. And of course, being here with a rather handsome man and fellow Miralukan certainly didn't hurt. It was strange, but she felt like maybe she was developing feelings for Octavious, even though he had gotten her mixed up in some dangerous business, but he had saved her life after she had saved his with her healing...
Well today was certainly a strange day...not that she would complain too much, since they had gotten off Utapau in once piece and now she was getting a vacation.

Well today was certainly a strange day...not that she would complain too much, since they had gotten off Utapau in once piece and now she was getting a vacation. *He took her hand and they exited the ship. The heat was immediate as it was the summer season and tourism was abundant. Not for this little area. The old Gungan's home was a four story mansion and immensely wide. Two and a half miles wide. Mas Mas owned four five star hotels and saw to their running with the aid of his Nautolan step son and his step son's wife. Met and Mer Tiket. They rarely came to the lake retreat simply because of all the nobles and dignitaries they had to provide entertainment for on a daily basis for the summer. This wasn't to say the secluded mansion wasn't empty. Their were droid servants and guards their to make sure no one intruded. This also wasn't to say it wasn't hospitable, but usually trepassers were given a stern warning to leave or be arrested. Considering the political pull, it wasn't an idle threat either. The Mansion was unique because even though on the outside it looked like it was only two stories, their were two more under ground that led to a submerged entrance that only an aquatic being could have access to and allow entrance to the private family entrance. That wasn't to where Mirania was being led to by Octavious, who held her hand gently as he walked, they were going to the guest house located behind the Mansion. It had it's own private beach just off to the side of the Mansion itself and led right up to the stairs of the Guest house. It had it's own pool and hot tub conjoined and separated by a clear piece of glass. As they walked, a off-white protocol droid walks up to the young couple. Octavious knows immediately that it's C-4TY.*
=C-4TY= "Why Jedi Knight Octavious! It's been too long since you've been around. I hope you aren't here on official Jedi business."
*Octavious slightly chuckles at this. The last time Octavious was here, he had to help Mas Mas and his family stop a hostile business take over. Some businessmen from the Exchange wnated to "buy" him out of his shares as CEO and owner of his hotels. Which is the reason why Octavious gets to show up unannounced to the old hermit crabs mansion.*
"No 4TY, I'm here for a little vacation with the lovely Miss Mirania. We ran into a little trouble back on Utapau, which was my fault, and I decided to make it up to her for almost getting her killed."
*The Droid tilts a little with an understanding.*
=C-4TY= "Ah yes. The Jedi penchant for getting into trouble. I was wondering why your clothing looked so disheveled. There is ample clothing in the guest house. Please follow me and you will be accommodated with everything you need."
*The droid turns and walks away and Octavious gently leads Mirania to follow C-4TY.*

Mirania was impressed by the surroundings, and despite the heat, she felt the serenity of this place compared to Utapau. She was already starting to feel a little better as Octavious led her towards their destination. She wondered who's good graces that he had gotten into in order to be allowed to stay here. That might be an interesting conversation for later on.
She guessed that whoever owned this place must have known that he came here as one of the droids greeted him by name in a rather friendly manner. She smiled when he revealed the reason for his visit, giggling at the droid's comment about the "Jedi penchant for getting in trouble". Well she had certainly experienced that firsthand, and couldn't claim to be surprised that this was very likely not the first time Octavious had been in a hairy situation.
As the droid led them to the guest house, she giggled again and leaned over to whisper in his ear."Jedi penchant for trouble, huh?"

It was soft and it was nice to hear her giggle and be comfortable with him. Maybe it was because she was a fellow wanderer and there weren't too many of their people left these days, but he felt at ease around her. She had a soft touch to her. Not just with her healing. It was nice for a change because being a Baran Do Sage meant Octavious was the beacon of serenity. Making others feel safe and at peace during chaotic times. Here she was, making him feel like he was talking to his best friend. This was turning out better than he hoped.*
"Trouble comes standard when you sign for your lightsaber."
*He lifts her hand and kisses it.*
"Don't worry, I always find a way out of trouble.......usually."
*He smiles with a smirk at her when he trails off with his sentence with usually.*
"Wouldn't you agree?"

Mirania giggled more when her hand was kissed, and well wasn't he certainly the dashing gentleman? Well technically he had saved her life, even if it was his fault for getting them into trouble and said rescue being possible only because of her healing...actually it didn't add up, but she had scored a free vacation so...but then again, she wasn't going to call him on that. That whole business had been his fault but they were both in one piece and here on a beautiful planet so there was no point in holding a grudge.
She squeezed his hand."Yeah...lucky me, huh?"She smirked."And lucky you. A catch like me doesn't come around and bring you back from certain death every day now does she?"She laughed softly and lightly nudged his shoulder. She had been mostly joking about her being a 'catch' but then again, maybe she hadn't been joking at all...

She laughed softly and lightly nudged his shoulder. She had been mostly joking about her being a 'catch' but then again, maybe she hadn't been joking at all... *Octavious could sense that she was going over in her thoughts that she and him met by coincidence and that they were lucky to meet. A sentiment he didn't share. Octavious felt the living Force. He knew something was deeper than just a small flirtation or random chance.*
"Lucky? Not so much. The Force brought us together for a reason. I would be dead without your healing, and something worse would have been in store for you had I not came to your rescue. Granted it was my fault for bringing you into it, but we ran into each other not by random circumstance."
*He leans in closer as she squeezed his hand.*
"Think about it. Two wanderers, two seers just randomly bump into each other and connect? To save each others lives without passing judgement on who's fault it was for getting into trouble, but just help each other without pride or assigning blame? Then talk each other into a vacation? It wasn't luck. We were meant to find each other. The Force made sure of it. And yes, you are a great catch. You saved me and I'm returning the favor. Plus I don't just bring anyone here. As a matter of fact, you're the only one I've ever told about this place much less brought."
*Octavious squeezes and kisses her hand again.*
"I felt that you would love to be here. Something in the back of my mind told you'd love this place. We are connected. You set me at ease, and I can feel the same in you. I had to bring my A+ game for you. It's a strange thing for it to be this sudden, but I can't explain it otherwise. But then again I could be wrong."
*The last part he said jokingly and smiled. If this was wrong it would have felt different to both of them.*

Mirania could see where he was coming from and when she thought about it, it made sense that it wasn't just blind luck that had brought them together. She knew what it meant, but she had always referred to it as luck, even if it wasn't actually like that. Whatever it was, she was now very glad that it had brought them together.
She leaned closer to him, now grasping both of his hands and leaning in even closer, enough so that she could lower her voice to almost a whisper. Despite the fact that she hadn't known him for long, she did have feelings for Octavious. Feelings that she wouldn't be opposed to exploring farther..."Oh you're not wrong..."She lightly pressed herself against him, turning a little red as she 'looked' up at him. She wouldn't have needed Force sight to sense his feelings for her.

She lightly pressed herself against him, turning a little red as she 'looked' up at him. She wouldn't have needed Force sight to sense his feelings for her. *She leaned closer. Both hands together being grasped. Hers in his and his in hers. Connected. He lets go of her right hand with his left and lifts his hand to her face. His thumb gently caressing and tracing her lips. He takes the same left hand and puts it gently behind her neck and head and pulls her to him slowly tilting her head up to meet his. He kisses her closed mouth at first and then gradually allows her to open her mouth to his. Taking her cue for a more passionate kiss. The rush was intense and time stood still. Well at least to them. C-4TY continued ahead until it noticed the stopped. The Droid turned and without skipping a beat.*
=C-4TY= "Oh my! That looks unsanitary. I'll never understand humanoid mating rituals."

Mirania slowly raised her arms, sliding her hands behind his neck as she eagerly kissed him. For just a moment, she forgot about everything, the droid, the house, focusing only on this moment. This perfect romantic moment...
And just like that, it was gone as the droid piped up about the unsanitary nature of humanoid mating rituals, and she couldn't help but snort as she pulled away. Yeah it was a little bit funny, but it also kind of killed the moment and that was a bit disappointing. She turned to the droid."Thank you for killing the moment."Sighing, she turned back to Octavious."Does he always pipe up like that?"

Sighing, she turned back to Octavious."Does he always pipe up like that?" *Perfection indeed. Cut short by cold logic. Even as brief as it was, it made Octavious obtain his inner-serenity that much easier. He could breath a little easier. Something the Baran Do do during meditation to achieve peace. She made it easy. Octavious chuckled as well. To a droid it would be an unsanitary ritual. Still holding her, he could feel a slight disappointment.*
"Yes he does."
*C-4TY is confused or rather unable to compute this illogical behavior.* =C-4TY= "I fail to see the termination of something to have no life such as this "moment" you seem to calculate. If it is a measurement you complain about, the two of you held the unsanitary saliva exchange for exactly 2.34 seconds before my vocalizing disdain for the exchange occurred. I have thereby effectively saved you both from a chance of passing a bacterial infection to one another and saved your lives. Your welcome by the way."
*All Octavious can do is laugh as he leads Miranis to the lavish guest house.* "Thanks 4TY. Since you're being so helpful, Show us where we're staying."
*The Droid turns around and starts leading them through the door of the guest house.* =C-4TY= "As you wish. Follow me."

Mirania let her head fall onto his chest as she giggled helplessly at the droid's attempts to pin logic on a romantic moment. Well the moment had certainly been killed, but this was actually kind of funny at least. Still, she got the feeling that Octavious would find a way to make up for this, or at least she hoped he would.
She cast her sight around the guest house, admiring the furnishings and just the luxury of this place in general. Having been a wanderer for several years, a place like this was far more luxurious than most of the places she had been to before. She was now very much looking forward to spending the next few days here, especially with Octavious...
She had noticed the beaches on the way in and she smiled as they were led further into the house, and she turned her gaze to Octavious."I hope there's a swimsuit in there somewhere. I think there's a spot on the beach with our names on it."

She had noticed the beaches on the way in and she smiled as they were led further into the house, and she turned her gaze to Octavious."I hope there's a swimsuit in there somewhere. I think there's a spot on the beach with our names on it." *The guest house was two story. The first floor was open to the elements like an outside bar of some really expensive hotel by the water. It was furnished just the same except the seat were actually comfortable. It had a bar and a inside kitchen that lead up to the second floor. The second floor was the prize. C-4TY stops and gestures for them to go upstairs.*
=C-4TY= "Just head upstairs, there are ample accommodations for the both of you. Including swimwear Miss Mirania. Mrs. Tiket doesn't wear swimwear, as it is a secluded beach. But there is something for you to wear until we can clean both your clothing. Just leave them on the bed and another droid will be by directly to launder them. Dinner will be served in a few hours are there any specific requests?"
*Octavious shakes his head. He didn't need to eat much, but whatever was served he would eat. Nubian food was always a delight to him.*
"You know me 4TY, I'll eat whatever Miss Mirania desires to eat."
*4TY shoots a look at Mirania waiting for her to say something.* =C-4TY= "And what would you desire Miss?"

Mirania was glad to hear that there was swimwear, as she didn't really feel like skinny dipping...at least not this time. Wait, did that droid just say that the owner of this place did go skinny dipping? Well that wasn't really something she needed to know, now was it? That droid was something else...oh well. She guessed Octavious wouldn't mind some skinny dipping...now wait a minute. Where did that thought come from?
She shrugged when the droid brought up dinner, though she was thankful for a distraction. Of course, being a wanderer had beaten out most of her picky eating habits and the food here had to be better than anything she had been able to get during her many travels."Um...I'm not picky, really. What's on the menu, anyway?"

What's on the menu, anyway?" *C-4TY looks up and tilts then look down, as if the list in it's mind were heavy.* =C-4TY= "Well Miss, we have a wide arrangement of choice foods and beverages. If you are a carnivore, were have a wide variety of local red meats, fish and poultry. If you are the vegetarian type we have lots of vegetables and fruits for you to choose from as well. Which would you prefer?"
*Octavious looked at Mirania, he knew she wasn't picky and neither was he, so he speaks up.*
"What would you recommend 4TY?"
*4TY is never asked that sort of thing so it's puzled for a few seconds then speaks up.* =C-4TY= "Well, seeing as you both look a little roughed up. I would recommend a fish and vegetable course for you both to get back nutrients and minerals to aid in your recovery."
*Octavious shrugs and looks at Mirania.*
"I'm not picky, sounds great to me. What about you?"

Mirania would have rolled her eyes if she had eyes, but honestly, she didn't mind fish and veggies. Come to think of it, she could use more of that in her diet, as veggies weren't really a staple of her diet during her travels. As long as it was a good meal...
She nodded."Sounds fine to me."

She nodded."Sounds fine to me." *Octavious could sense her disdain. He'll have to make sure that it's Guber tuna steaks. Not too terribly fishy and some leafy greens to go with, which should be okay.*
=C-4TY= "Very well, I shall have the usual prepared for you both. If you need me, I won't be but a comlink away. Good day."
*4TY leaves and Octavious leads her upstairs to the guest bedroom. The whole second floor was a huge room. it had an open balcony to the west to face the setting sun a large couch that filled up the north side with various assortments of entertainment. The bed on the south side was large and soft. It could easily sleep a family of seven comfortably. To the side was a large shower and tub with a refresher. The east side was the entrance they walked up. Octavious turns to her after they enter the room.*
"Not bad eh?"
