Franz shook his head and wrapped his arm around Elika's shoulder just giving her a quick hug. "Nope, too late, I am coming and besides," Franz smiled looking at Atlantis with a smirk before he poked his tongue out in his direction. "It get Model Face jealous, since apparently he would do anything just about anything to be in my place." Looking back at Elika with a knowing smile, Franz inclined his head, he did not mean to make her uncomfortable, although the prospect to have a mani and a pedi, that was a bit girly to him he guessed but Lily did have a point.
"Yup, whining is my middle name." Franz said somewhat proudly, but there was nothing to be proud about that and he did laugh when he got a new nickname, he shook his head and wondered how many nicknames that made now. "I think that makes five now." He began to say as he began counting and listing those nicknames on his fingers. "Five nicknames so far, I think."
Franz sighed faintly and nodded looking at Lily, Crystal and Elika. "I'll do it, as long as I get the transparent polish kind or something. It should work, right? Or black, black nail polish." He was thoughtful for a moment, or at least he looked like it was a conflicting decision to make, but he shrugged and looked soon enough at Lily again when she requested for the same thing that Crystal had requested yesterday.
"Called it!" He laughed at that since he remember saying yesterday that he wouldn't be surprised if Lily requested that same thing. He looked at Ryan with an amused grin and shrugged. "I have no idea if there are men's clothing there, but maybe you should get it out. Clothe Encounters?" Franz suggested with an amused grin, after all it looked like yesterday both Crystal and Lily were ready to leave with the entire store, or at least it was what he assumed.

Atlantis rolled his eyes playfully before slapping Franz at the back of his head with the Force. "He is just playing, Elika, don't worry about it, and just drag him there to the spa." Atlantis told her reassuringly before he shook his head and looked at Franz again with a knowing expression. "Told ya, wherever she goes, you go, otherwise not only I will be in trouble, but so will you." Atlantis informed him teasingly. He was certain that Franz was just being Franz, or at least his former self, the whiny kind, and maybe acting like a little boy now, he even got a nickname from Lily, now that was saying something.
Atlantis knew for a fact that Lily never gave nicknames to people unless she appreciated them, she just worked that way, however curious that sounded but he learned to not question her anyways since he still was sensible on occasions. Atlantis soon looked at Crystal and inclined his head faintly to her request to come by tonight. Again he couldn't promise that at all but if he couldn't he would contact her. "I will let you know by either showing up here or contacting you, angel." Atlantis finished the last of his coffee and put that into the sink before noticing that Ryan was making his way towards the sink as well and even though Atlantis was about to wash the dishes, he stopped with Crystal's warning and it looked like Ryan had taken the relay.
That was followed up by Ryan's question to him. Atlantis looked at him thoughtfully and shook his head to tell him that he wasn't even going to the academy. "I actually have to go to the city at midday, so no academy for me right now, although maybe I'll drop by there later, but yes I do have to meet a few people from last night." Considering the ongoing investigation and hopefully the precinct's findings about the potential suspects from the data, he was certain that this day was going to be a long day.
"Which reminds me, I have to go get ready too." Atlantis said while making a face, and to think that he had to head to a damn precinct for something that occurred last night because he had to work with law enforcement on this case, it wasn't really something he was looking forward to, but he figured that he would still try and make it work but at least that matter was going to be bearable with the fact that he knew people there. Saluting everyone before he made his way out of the kitchen to return into Crystal's room, Atlantis geared up but had just decided to wear a simple shirt with his leather protection beneath and some dark pants along with a dark long coat after he had securely placed on his lightsabers to his wrist, causing his signature in the process to disappear.

"C'mon pookie, it'll be fine, I promise." Winking at Franz playfully before giggling softly I add on with a teasing tone. "I can even request your masseuse to wear leather exclusively." Although I have no idea if I can make that happen so I look at gorgeous with a dubious expression. "You think TaSpa! has ladies for him in leather?"
I really am not sure, but I can tell that he is just being a jokester so it shouldn't be that bad and after all, Franz is mandated to Elika just like lover boy just pointed out more or less plus I do have a point like baby girl has just said, no one should have an ingrown nail, that hurts badly. "He is just being a whiny baby, which is cute when you think about it," There is a pro there but there is also the con side of things, which is why I am making a face right now. "I think, and gorgeous promised her protection."
Finishing the last of my coffee and my meal before Ryan, or just hot stuff picks up all of my dishes, I focus my attention onto Elika understanding what she means definitely. "You gotta admit though, it feels good to be lying onto your own bed after being gone for so long." Soon enough though I am clapping my hands happily, glad to know that I will get my very own walk in wardrobe too, which would be very helpful since Ryan plans to go on a shopping spree. "Thanks gorgeous." I mean it definitely, it's already tough to find an empty space in my closet and I know that I have barely managed to fit in the things I have bought yesterday, and I am pretty sure that it won't stop.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, point is you love me, gorgeous." I reply to her before poking my tongue out in return before glancing at Ryan knowingly. "That way the two of you can team up and bedazzle me with medical terminologies." Truth be told, I am so not looking forward to that, it sounds sexy and even gorgeous knows what to say to just push my buttons right and correctly. "Besides, I keep hearing that people want to get back at me all the time, so ..." Winking at them both playfully while I stand up from the stool, I am honestly glad that Elika seems to be more at ease with Ryan at least, unless she is doing it for my benefit, that makes me feel guilty, so I head up straight in her direction and hug her affectionately. "Love ya, gorgeous."
Pulling away and smiling warmly but also affectionately, I lift my index finger soon enough and glance at the time. "Right we should probably go get ready too, so ..." Walking straight in Ryan's direction to grab a handful of his shirt, I kiss his lips before nibbling his lower one. "Try Clothe Encounters, like pookie suggested, the saleslady there is amazing." Pulling away and smiling again before turning around to head in my room's direction to get ready for that spa day wondering what the heck I should wear after my shower. Right probably the stuffs I bought yesterday.

So maybe it took her about half an hour to get ready, but between the shower, getting dressed with her newly bought clothes from yesterday plus a little make up, Crystal had to be satisfied and comfortable no matter what. Thankfully though, thirty minutes were relatively quick for her to get ready... Finally emerging from her bathroom, she saw Atlantis gearing up and still standing there. Smiling faintly and rubbing his arm gently. "See you tonight hopefully..." Standing right in front of him, she wrapped her arms around him seeming not to want him go, but she knew she had to, so she just kissed him softly and pulled back soon enough to grab one of her bags to transfer everything into it.
Finally walking out of her room, she walked straight to the living room to wait for the others while she left her coat on the couch for the time being and looked one last time at what she was wearing. That one shoulder casual top and those blue destroyed pants plus those said sandals. She felt like something was still missing, but she really had no idea what, maybe she should ask Lily and Elika when they emerge from their rooms...
But since Atlantis was the only one here right now or so it seemed, she looked at him dubiously and asked. "Handsome, seriously what do you think?" She expected nothing but honesty from him and she knew that despite being a guy and maybe being a little clueless in the fashion area, although not really considering that he did mix and match correctly too for himself, maybe he would know and besides when she thought about it, she really did not dress up for anyone in particular but him...
So his opinion did matter that much, at least unconsciously.

"Black nail polish?" Ryan repeated as he looked at his cousin with an awkward expression. "Did you also want a black eyeliner to go with that? I am sure that Lily or Crystal can lend you some." He suggested playfully, if Franz wanted to go for an emo look, then he would need that said eyeliner but really he did not see Franz with black nail polish. "Maybe by the end of the day, you might traumatize them with your weird ideas, weirdo."
Ryan rolled his eyes playfully, although he was glad to be seeing his cousin joking again, even whining again and he had to thank everyone here considering what had happened a few weeks ago. He glanced at Elika with a warm smile before shaking his head. "You really should keep him in line, you do not know what he is capable of." Ryan made it sound like it was a bad thing, but actually it wasn't at all, when he thought about it, it was always Ryan playing tricks back then, often him and sometimes his target was his very own brother with the help of the one he called Mop Head. They were always in cahoots and that was just the way it was. Now that he thought about Ares and Raan, Ryan should probably really get a hold of the two of them one way or the other.
It was just unconceivable that he had been here for a while now in Umgul and he had not seen that ungraceful one just yet, but as for Ares, yeah he should really find out under which rock he had been hiding recently, but he could think about that later since right now he was still with people and right now also he was listening to Elika who reassured him that she wasn't uncomfortable with him being around. "What did she and my sister actually ask for?" Ryan asked with genuine curiosity although he had a grateful smile on his features as he just looked at Lily before she approached him.
"Right, those shopping bags I have seen in your room are from there." Ryan told her after kissing her back and opening his eyes. Ryan watched her leave and he shook his head knowingly. "That woman will be the death of me one of these days." Ryan said jokingly but also affectionately. He was okay with that, at least he'd die happy he guessed but now it was onto more serious business, he remembered that Atlantis had told him that he wasn't going back to the academy because he was headed to the city to, so Ryan guessed it was him only, he should probably ask for Lily's keys to the lakehouse.
"Amore, wait up!" Ryan said as he jogged after her, telling her that he was going to need her key but he figured that he could do that once he was all set and ready to go also.
When all was said and done, he looked at his girlfriend's new clothes and smirked before calling her a tease and finally walking out of her room with her key to this place and soon enough he found his sister in the living room asking for fly boy's opinion about her own clothes. "Seriously are you all going for a hunt?" He looked from his sister and Lily's clothes and just groaned faintly. "If Franz wasn't my cousin, I would have punched him by now for being the sole dude going with you."

Elikapeka looks at Franz with a purely theartrically skeptical expression when he assures her that he is only joking when whining about having to join her, Crystal, and Lily for the day at the spa, rolling her eyes when he teases Atlantis, and then giggling at the idea of him with black nail polish, her giggling only increasing when Ryan teases Franz in turn, nodding in agreement with his statement about it being more likely that Franz will traumatize them with his weird ideas, "Yeah pookie, she tells Franz as she bumps him with her hip and then turns to refill her caf mug, I think you're already starting to weird me out with all your fetishes. TMI, pookie, TMI."
Sipping her caf, Elika nods as she laughs and tells Lily, "It is definitely a nice change to not sleep while in my own bed again beautiful, and smiles as she winks and jokes, I may love you beautiful, but I think I'll have to avoid using my medical terminology powers in the future so I don't aggravate that medical condition of yours. Sitting at the kitchen table after everyone other than Franz has gone to finish getting ready, Elika sips her caf as she asks Franz, Did you have everything you need? I have an extra toothbrush if you need one, and, she grins as she adds, you can also borrow any of my makeup or hair products if you need them."

"But, but, but..." Franz pouted looking at Elika with his lower lip sticking out. He even sighed very sadly but that was just a joke, of course. "It is not a fetishism, but just a fashion statement, although when I think about it, I should probably get my hair dyed black too." Smiling soon enough after he returned to sit at the kitchen table, he watched everyone head out to get ready and he still had Atlantis' clothes right there folded onto a stool.
And then he remembered something which caused him to look at Elika with a knowing expression. "You have to admit though compared to everything we have witnessed last night, I wouldn't even put my nail polish and eyeliner dealio into the TMI category." Franz grinned at the memory of having a great night in a long time, so really he was looking forward to that day at the spa even if he did not sound like it earlier. But he really was...
Picking up the clothes that Atlantis had lent him, Franz looked at Elika with dubious expression before shaking his head. "I wouldn't mind the toothbrush." Franz said sincerely with a warm smile before rolling his eyes and laughing. "And nu, no make up at all thank you very much, but aren't you supposed to get ready too? Or is it because you actually do get ready quicker than your two housemates?" Franz asked teasingly, actually he wouldn't be surprised if that were the case, but either way, he guessed that he was glad to be here.

Even before Crystal had asked him that question on what he thought about her overall outfit, Atlantis had already his mind blown so to speak. He had been silent ever since he saw her emerging from her bathroom after she put her makeup on. What did he thought?
Good question…
Straight to the point answer right now: speechless. Which was why he had not even said a thing just yet and he just continued to look at her. Truth be told, it didn’t matter what clothes she wore, or how she presented herself daily, she was beautiful inside and out, it was as simple as that for him. Walking in her direction and then taking her hands in his own, he looked at her with a sincere gaze and a warm smile.
“You are beautiful,” He tilted his head on the side and looked at her thoughtfully for a moment and lifted his finger to give him a moment. Atlantis jogged back towards her room and picked a few things from her jewelry box. Namely that necklace and those earrings he had given her for her birthday. Showing those things off to her to see if she was okay with that, if she was, he let her put on her earrings while he took care of the necklace before he rubbed her shoulders.
“This is making me wish that I was actually in Franz’s place today.” Atlantis told her playfully and since he was still standing behind her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck gently before letting his chin rest on her shoulder as Ryan along with Lily made their way towards the living room. “It also looks like your brother is wishing the same thing.” Chuckling, Atlantis stood back up to his fullest and looked at the ones who were here now.
“Mind if I tag along with you?” At least he told that to Lily and Crystal since they were the ones heading to the city with Elika and Franz too. “I walked last night from the city to here so, no means of transportation for me.”

While I am making my way towards the living room fully dressed with those jeans and white shirt, my sunglasses are sitting atop my head, but right now I am rummaging my bag for the keys of this place. Finally finding them for the front door and the gate, I hand those to Ryan and furrow my eyebrows when he asks if we are all on a hunt and by that I understand Crystal and I since we are the only women here right now. "Hot stuff, think about it this way ..." I begin to tell him with a knowing expression. "Do you really think some guys will even try to get that close with your cousin around? I don't think so, besides if they do try something, well ... That will be at their own risk and peril."
Winking at him playfully before putting my bag down on the couch and sitting down to fix my boots, I look up at Lover Boy and nod since I don't see a problem with him tagging along in the city with us. "No problem for me, but you will have to ask Pookie because he is the one piloting." Finally adjusting my boots correctly, I stand up and walk a straight line before returning towards the couch to just test them out.
"That looks great on you baby girl, and I love the blings you have on you right now." Smiling warmly, and like I have said plenty of times in the past, everything Kayne puts on, she works it like a pro. For now though, I pick up that jean jacket and put that on and later I may put that hat on which is in my bag for now. "By the way, baby girl, I need Lana's contact info, please."
Nope, I haven't forgotten and it is definitely something that has to happen, I have that mission to make my bikini fantasy happen, seriously. "Where are Pookie and Gorgeous?" I ask dubiously, and here I thought I take longer to get ready but it looks like Elika may take even longer than me ... She gets out of her room after me, and now I am even ready before her? The world is like upside down today.

Crystal smiled warmly when Atlantis had said that she was beautiful, she could see that he was sincere, but still she wasn't that satisfied yet with her outfit. She felt like something was still missing before she could even ask him, he had left and come back with something. She should have thought about that, and she had to admit that it was a good idea, grabbing the earrings, she put those on before lifting her hair behind to let him clip the necklace. "Thank you..."
Placing her hands on his forearms, she laughed softly and looked over her shoulder before pecking his temple. "One day, hopefully, one day..." Moving her hand up to the back of his neck, she scratched his scalp a little and took a deep breath. "When the time comes and you manage to pull away from your obligations, we'll go just you and I." Crystal knew not to hold her breath about that, Atlantis was after all the Headmaster or the Grandmaster of the Order here and he really had a lot of obligations. When it wasn't the academy, it was often matters like he had described earlier.
The arrival of Ryan and Lily pulled her out of her own thoughts and she looked at her brother with an amused expression. "And people said that I was violent." Crystal was known to punch that was a fact, and now it really sounded that they were really related, but she glanced at Lily knowingly. "Lily does have a point, it takes a lot for her to be interested in a person." That sounded about right, then again she was sure that Ryan might have figured that out also. "Which reminds me, Ry, your cousin last night was looking for candies. Told him that you ate them all, which you did, but did you want me to buy more, or are you going to take care of that?"
Letting him think about that for the time being as she listened to Atlantis asking if he could tag along, Crystal nodded before detaching herself from her man to grab her datapad from her bag and she transferred Delaana Wan's contact info via holomessage and waited for the mail to be sent before saying. "Done." Crystal dumped her datapad back into her bag and shrugged when Lily asked where were the two others they were waiting for.
"I am sure that they are going to arrive soon, besides we still have some time." Crystal said as she glanced at her wrist chrono.

His sister had a point, his girlfriend also had a point, but it did not stop him from feeling envious right now of Franz's position. He guessed that he was only human after all, and he could take comfort on the fact that it indeed took a lot for Lily to be interested in a person. What he knew about his own girlfriend thusfar, when she appreciated that much a person, Lily would continuously tease them even give them nicknames, she would act like how he usually knew her. When Lily was in front of a person that were mere acquaintances, she was was polite with them, very respectful and she knew how to mask correctly her facial expressions. That was the big difference between those that were close to her and those that weren't.
"I know, I know." Ryan said almost reluctantly before smirking, but then he wondered who was that person, a certain Lana, right his sister's PA, but why would Lily want the PA's contact info? He was perplexed by that, but his perplexity did not last long when Crystal asked him about those candies issues. "I'll take care of it." He said with a grin, he was thankful though that his sister asked since he did not want to owe her per se, he already owed her a lot but still, he could take care of that, it was just candies and he still had plenty of credits in his bank account thanks to his old job in Honoghr. Also he wasn't the crazy spender type, although he couldn't just live off on that amount sitting on his account.
"I'll deal with it after going shopping, you guys just have fun, don't worry about it." Ryan reassured her with a knowing smile. He looked around for a moment and still he couldn't stop being in awe with that sculpture there on the fountain. He knew that it was the Goddess Shiraya, he also knew who that belonged to, but still he found that sculpture very nicely carved.
He figured he should wait for the others before saying his goodbyes and the whole see you later deal, which was why he walked towards one of the seats there and sat down to wait in silence while he thought. He had that urge to work again somehow, but at the same time he knew what that would imply if he did work, long hours, but he guessed he would have to speak about it with her considering that he was in a relationship with her, and therefore he would have to let her know.

Laughing and holding her hands up as though in surrender when Franz starts talking about dyeing his hair black to go with the emo portrait he has been painting with his suggestions for his day at the spa, Elikapeka tells him, "Enough, enough. I'm never going to get the images out of my head now, and then laughs again as she agrees, You're right, last night was full of TMI, wasn't it? I blame Lily."
Looking at first confused and then worried when, after he says that he will be needing the toothbrush she had offered, Elika, who had showered and dressed for the day before coming out to get her caf, asks worriedly, "Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing? and then pats her face as she asks in a horrified tone, Do I have something on my face? Standing up and setting her caf down, Elika says, Come on, the toothbrush is in my bathroom, and then all but jogs to her bathroom to check her appearance to see what would have caused him to ask if she needs to get ready. Handing Franz the still packaged toothbrush when he joins her in the bathroom without looking from the mirror, Eliks turns her face from one side to the other, still not seeing what would lead Franz to believe she still needs to get ready, asking him, Is it my makeup? I don't wear much usually, she says, leaning in closer to the mirror, Are you saying I need to put more on? Why would you say that? Frowning when she decides that she looks fine to her, or at least as much the same as she always does, Elika hands Franz the toothpaste and announces, I don't get what you're talking about, huffily even though he hasn't had the opportunity to say anything else since asking if she needs to get ready, then crosses her arms over her chest crossly as she says, I'll be in the living room," before leaving her bathroom and heading into the living room after grabbing her back pack purse.
Sitting on the couch and setting her purse beside her, Elika tells everyone in an mildly annoyed tone, "Franz will be ready in a minute," and then, self-conscious at even the most normal of times, opens her purse to find a compact with a mirror, then proceeds to turn her head from side to side as she examines her reflection critically for a moment before returning the compact to her purse when she decides that whatever it was that had prompted Franz'z comment is not anything she will be able to do anything about.

"No!" Franz said quickly before facepalming soon after, and now he had done a stupid. At least it looked like he was back to being awkward, inarticulate beside being a downright ninny. "Elika! Wait wait, I meant if you already have everything you need?" And yeah that sounded bad, really bad...
So he just decided to shut up on the spot and he grabbed the clothes Atlantis had given him before following Elika to get that said toothbrush. He smiled awkwardly before he just went towards the other bathroom to get changed and brush his teeth. Well now that was awkward, he really wanted the ground to swallow him whole right now.
Knowing he had to face that stupid he had made right now, Franz finally walked out of the bathroom and headed to the living room where everyone was. Pursing his lips, he looked at Elika and took a deep breath. "You have nothing on your face, and you look great, I promise, and I will not say anything further now." It was a sincere statement and he looked at her apologetically but he had already done that stupid.
Franz just looked at everyone and just shut his mouth before clearing his throat knowing that he really needed to think before he spoke and he looked at Atlantis with wide eyes as if telling his cousin to spring him out of that delicate situation he had just caused.

Atlantis was smiling, he was really hoping for that day to happen, like he was hoping to have a little get away with her in the foreseeable future. Crystal still had those unused tickets for the both of them that had been given to her for her birthday. He just hoped that there was no expiration date. "I'd like that." Atlantis said sincerely before completely releasing her to do whatever she needed to do.
Elika's arrival who looked like she was grumpy and even looking at herself in a mirror made him look at her dubiously he was about to ask what was wrong since there was nothing wrong at all but then Franz arrived and he looked at his cousin jadedly although at the same time, Atlantis was amused because really Franz in trouble right now, it felt like old times and for once it wasn't him in trouble.
"Elika, don't worry about him, just put whatever he had said under the pretense that he has been traumatized enough and his head hasn't correctly been screwed this morning? Plus he did not have enough sucrose in his system. Blame the doctor for not leaving him any candies." Atlantis said with an amused expression although he shook his head and wondered why he was even trying right at this instant when he knew if he even interfered to that, which he already did, that may kick him back on the face.
But sincerely, he looked at Elika again and smiled warmly, he said. "You do look great." Atlantis looked at everyone and walked in Franz's direction before hooking his arm around his cousin's neck. "C'mon, I am tagging along, so you and I should prep the airspeeder and I am piloting maybe." Atlantis said as he dragged Franz away from that delicate situation he had put himself in straight to the front door of the lakehouse and to the B69 outside.

Hearing my datapad ping that I have received a message, I look at Kayne with a thankful expression before getting the device from my bag and I consult the message that I have received. Perfect. Afterwards though I cannot help myself but to consult the local news and I see that as expected that charity event that occurred last night was amazing according to the press but there is also a crime or several that has occurred. One of the victims' name, that one I recognize, why wouldn't I? Considering that his so called businesses were under investigations but he could never be found guilty of the charges held against him and now he is dead ... Great ...
Groaning on the spot, because I am sure that come Monday, I may have to take care of a few things about this. There is always something, and right now it looks like there is definitely something with gorgeous sounding mildly annoyed who is checking herself out on a mirror, it seems. "Um, gorgeous, every- ..." I cut my statement short when I notice that pookie is making his way to the living room and is saying that there is nothing on her face, which is the truth, because there is absolutely nothing, and she is still gorgeous no matter what angle she checks herself from.
Looking dubiously from Elika to Franz who is being dragged by lover boy outside, in the meantime I return my datapad into my bag, and shake my head with an amused expression. "Gorgeous, you are perfect, and besides, whatever pookie said, apparently he only has a thing for women in leather, so what does he really know?" I ask her playfully before winking at her and glancing at Crystal and Ryan who are just there.
"C'mon you two, let's go, I do want to catch Kalyani too," I declare as if that is the most important aspect of me heading to TaSpa! "Not for my sake though, maybe a little since I do have to invite her for my bikini fantasy next weekend." Giggling at the thought, because I am pretty sure that Ryan doesn't even have a clue, but those that matter do, so it doesn't really matter per se, also I need to relax because hey, I did the stupid thing to look at the local news. "So shall we?"
Putting my coat on and my sunglasses plus my hat, I pick up my bag from the couch and head towards the exit with the others ... Once outside, and considering I am no longer in the possession of my keys, I look at both of the guys right there, wondering who is going to be driving or piloting but either way, I don't really care, and I just find Ryan right there with a warm smile. "I'll see you later, hot stuff." Winking at him and kissing him softly, I just get into the backseat of the airspeeder and wait for the others to join me.

The moment Elika walked into the living room, Crystal looked at her questioningly. The architect looked downright annoyed and she wondered what had caused that... Right now she really had no idea and she just couldn't understand why Elika was looking at her face from different angles as if searching for something.
... And Franz walked in soon enough looking apologetic maybe, she had no idea what he had said before and like she had said before and plenty of times, really she wasn't about to play mom really. Right now though, her attention returned to her brother and she inclined her head to let him know that she heard him. "Okay." Crystal said with a warm smile before looking at him very seriously. "Anche, si prega di farmi un favore, cercare di contattare Ares. Ho bisogno di sapere se sta bene" (Do me a favor also, try to contact Ares. I need to know if he is okay.) Despite the fact that she had thought that she wasn't going to act like a mom, maybe she was right now, because fact was, not only she had not heard from Virgil yet, but Ares also.
Considering also the little things she knew, she really wasn't liking that, at all. "Grazie, fratello." Crystal said with a faint nod before glancing in Lily's direction who was telling them in her own way to get a move on already. Putting on her trench-coat, Crystal slipped her arm into Elika's and looked at her friend.
She was about to say something in the same vein as Lily, that Elika looked great and all that, but she figured it was better if she did not, so instead, Crystal opted to say. "We should probably go, otherwise I am afraid that if we do miss Kalyani, we might end up with a frustrated lawyer again." Crystal said with a playful tone before glancing over her shoulder and then added on. "At least her own personal doctor will be home if necessary."
Walking out of the lakehouse and making sure that everyone had everything they needed, she closed and locked the door after activating the alarm systems around the place. Letting everyone get settled in first, Crystal got into the backseat and let whoever pilot whether it was Franz or Atlantis, either way they were all headed in the same direction anyways. "See you later, Ry." Crystal told her brother before they went to their separate ways.

Ryan looked up at his sister when he noticed that her facial expression had turned serious. He furrowed his eyebrows for a moment wondering if there was something wrong, but that wasn't the case, instead she had tasked him to try and get a hold of Ares. He did say that he was going to do that yesterday but today it had maybe slipped his mind so he was thankful for the reminder. "Si, senza problema. Gli dirò di chiamare te anche." (No problem, I'll tell him to call you even) Ryan told her, provided he could even get a hold of Ares to begin with.
But he cut his own thoughts short when he noticed the people they were waiting for coming to the living room, not really knowing what had happened and he also preferred not to even get in the middle of that since after all every one here was an adult, he figured that they could all fix that between themselves and also out of every one also, he had been the last one to come so he didn't precisely knew what to do or say, which was why he just remained silent and stood up from the couch grabbing his coat.
He had placed the keys in his pocket and he followed everyone outside before looking at all of them with a warm smile. "See you all tonight or this afternoon, who knows." Ryan said with a grin considering that after dealing with his stuffs back at the academy, he was bound to return to the city to do some shopping and buy candies.
Returning Lily's kiss before she went to the airspeeder, Ryan waved his hand and smiled again. "Have a great and relaxing day at the spa." Putting his coat own, Ryan headed towards the speeder he came with last night and opened the gate before leaving in the direction of the Mist Order Academy.

One of the more frustrating aspects of suffering from her undiagnosed psychiatric disorder is that, while Elikapeka is often aware that her thinking and perceptions are distorted, she as often as not remains powerless to unshackle herself from those distortions; and so while most people would be able to accept reassurances like those that Franz, Atlantis, and Lily offer, Elika cannot, and the added attention that Franz unwittingly brings onto her when he comes into the living room and attempts to reassure her only serves to compound Elika's anxiety.
Shooting Franz a look that more eloquently manages to ask why he is doing this to her than anything she might say to him, Elika, who knows it is not Franz that is doing anything to her but she herself that is the author of her present anxiety, begins tugging at her sleeves as she then smiles tightly to try and move on from the issue she knows exists only in her head. Wrapping the fingers of her right hand tightly around her left wrist to keep from playing with her sleeves compulsively when Atlantis joins in with Franz's efforts to reassure her, Elika continues forcing herself to smile and then nods as she begins to compose a vioflute piece in her head to try and prevent her anxiety from escalating. While she doesn't really hear what Lily says to her, Elika does manage a nod accompanied by a brittle laugh since she recognizes from Lily's tone that she is making a joke of some kind.
Only the fact that excusing herself from the trip to the spa would make the attention on her unbearable prevents Elika from pulling her arm from Crystal's when her friend starts leading them outside, and Elika is tensed up for the majority of the short trip to the speeder even though she thinks she manages to conceal just how near to having a panic attack she is by forcing a smile and waving to Ryan as he parts company with them. Taking her datapad from her back pack purse once she is seated in the B69, Elika, utterly disgusted with herself for letting a perfectly innocuous comment exert such a ridiculously pronounced effect on her in addition to struggling to control the anxiety she is feeling despite knowing it is self-inflicted, looks at the device's screen without really seeing it as she taps the buttons to bring her holonet messages up, hoping that appearing absorbed in the task will keep anyone from engaging her and interrupting her efforts to continue mentally composing, which can often, given enough time, bring her anxiety back down to manageable levels.

When Elika shot him that kind of look, Franz internally cringed, he knew what he had caused and he also knew that it was his fault. He had said the wrong thing to her and for that he could only apologize but he had already done that once and he figured that if he tried to fix things and just have his focus on her, that would render the situation worse than it already was. He was supposed to be her protection detail now and he also knew that he had to act differently, and that only meant to not say anything anymore.
When Atlantis dragged him away from the lakehouse, he was thankful for that, although he knew that it wouldn't do a thing considering that he could feel Elika's anxieties hit him like a ton of durasteel. Frowning at what he had caused, Franz looked at Atlantis and shook his head disappointed at himself, like he had been disappointed at himself for not being there for something that was weighting on him up till now. The situation with Elika, again he was going to be a witness of that and again he was going to be a bystander without knowing what to do.
Just that, it made him silent again and he looked at Atlantis pointing to the steering wheel to let him know that he should pilot because he was going to ask Ryan to just get him to the city but too late, Ryan was gone and he closed his eyes briefly before shaking his head and finally he lifted his hand in his cousin's direction before pulling the cloth from under the seat and he put that on before pulling the hood above his head with saying a thing again, he just started the airspeeder to get up in the air and to head in the city's direction.
Although before he maneuvered the airspeeder to leave, he took a deep breath and looked behind him in the three women's direction. "Did you still want to go?" Franz asked seriously, all traces of humor had faded, and actually he figured that it would be better if the side of him that had been out yesterday and last night but also a little bit this morning, he figured that should go back to be buried considering the damage he had just done.

Atlantis figured out more or less what had been going on with Elika and those were some of the moments he wished he could have done more to reassure her, but he also knew that if he focused his attention onto her, it might even turn out worse. Taking a deep breath, he looked in Franz's direction and for the first time in a very long time, Atlantis glared in his cousin's direction to tell him to not even think about it. He knew what Franz might have probably been thinking but this wasn't the time to run away from this at all.
Looking towards where the others were arriving, Atlantis had no other choice but to do this. Extending his left arm to his side, he summoned his lightsaber that was located to his forearm. He let it levitate right in front of him and deconstructed entirely his lightsaber, he might regret that sooner or later, but he did not care right now, right now he needed to appease Elika and he wasn't about to use the Force to influence her at all, so instead once the crystals were right there in front of him, he picked the Lorrdian and pocketed that before taking the other one first and foremost. He gathered everything that had been floating right there in midair and pocketed everything.
Getting into the airspeeder, Atlantis retrieved his third lightsaber that had been at the small of his back and placed that one to his left forearm before turning back to on his seat and looked at Elika with a warm smile. "Will you please keep something for me during the day or for however long you want until you tell me that you do not need it anymore?" Atlantis asked dubiously with a warm smile before he gestured for her free hand since she was busy with her datapad.
When and if she did extend her arm and opened her hand, Atlantis dropped the Kasha crystal onto the palm of her hand and made her close her hand. Hopefully that would clear her mind from any distractions, from anything she might have been thinking that was unnecessary. He looked at her with a warm smile and inclined his head. "Keep it with you at all times, and just remember that you and the others have set out today to have some fun and some relaxation. Okay."
Despite Franz's question to everyone, for that, Atlantis couldn't answer for them at all, either way he still had to head to the city and quite honestly, it did not matter for him if it was on foot or by airspeeder, the latter was just convenient to begin with. But still not that important and he figured that the detectives could start without him if he was going to arrive late anyways. Now that he was looking behind, he glanced briefly at his side seeing that Franz had put his cloth back on and was back to being serious. He understood that everyone had issues but right now, he wasn't about to influence anyone into talking or make everyone see rainbows and sunshine.
Right now he was just taking things one step at a time and right now Elika needed his help the most he guessed.
