Elikapeka frowns in commingled consternation and confusion when Lily suggests that anyone other than Crystal approaches Mace in an effort to get some answers, not sure that Mace's appreciation for unfiltered conversation would extend so far as to include sharing information that doesn't directly concern the individual she might be conversing with at the time; while Mace might be more straightforward in her answers than others if questioned directly, Elika doubts that she would violate anyone's privacy while doing so. "I don't know beautiful, Elika says tentatively, I have a feeling that Mace would only answer questions if the answers involved whoever was doing the questioning, so I'd imagine that Crystal would have to be the one to approach her if she thinks that Mace might have any answers for her. Since Elika has no doubt that Crystal would have no reservations about speaking with Mace if she did in fact feel that doing so had a chance of shedding any light on things, Crystal not ever having struck Elika as the type to be intimidated into silence, she adds, You could always mention to Crystal what Mace told you about open and honest conversations, and I'm sure she'd have no issues with speaking to Mace herself if she felt it might illuminate things at all."
Nodding her head to confirm for Lily that she is indeed from Naboo, Elika settles into a corner of the sofa in the living room, curling her feet underneath her comfortably as she says, "That I am beautiful. Arching an eyebrow with a perplexed frown when Lily, and then Crystal shortly afterwards, ask if Elika had ever met anyone from Crystal's family or the other families that had also been on Naboo when growing up, Elika shakes her head and pauses as though searching her memory before she says, No, and then lifts a hand to massage her right temple as, her efforts to search her memories having been met with the defensive mental measures that have been put in place and making it seem as though the conversation is less disturbing to her than it is by distracting her with the physical pain of a common headache, she adds in a mildly strained voice, No, I didn't meet any of them until I moved here to Umgul."
Standing up, a hand on the arm of the sofa to steady herself as a wave of nausea courses through her to join the throbbing in her head, Elika, her face paler than usual as the mental defenses constructed around her memories are taxed enough that an invisible threshold is crossed and they move to remove her entirely from the ongoing conversation, puts her other hand to her stomach and says, "I'm actually not feeling too well. It's a migraine, she explains, and then waves a hand towards her room and says, I think I need to go lay down," before heading from the living room.
Once in her room, Elika contemplates going to the bathroom to splash some water on her face, but the pain in her head is so immense that she simply flips off her lights and curls up in a ball beneath her sheets without even managing to take her shoes off. Fortunately for her, the migraine is not real, but the sleep that rushes up to overtake her swiftly is, and Elika falls into a relentless, deep sleep that proves to be dreamless; all the better to prevent her from trying to tug any further at the long sealed doors in her mind behind which her memories of a certain period of her life have been interred.

About Crystal speaking to Mace, perhaps yes I should push baby girl to inquire with the Kiffar Jedi Master, what does baby girl have to lose anyways? This will be a matter that will concern her, and I suppose that if and when asked straightforward questions like I have done earlier, Mace might be willing to answer. But again I haven't spent that much time in getting to know the Kiffar, at least I do know that she is half Kiffar even if she doesn't have that tattoo on her face like the rest of them do. Either way, tattoo or not baby girl should speak with Mace, that may give her further details.
Gorgeous is from Naboo but has never met anyone that baby girl has mentioned, well that is a bummer, it was a long shot to begin with, that I can admit, but that is making me realize that perhaps those families were really keeping to themselves like they currently are. That really doesn't give us anything to go by, which is why I look at baby girl and start telling her, "Been thinking maybe you should have a tal-..."
My statement stops there when I notice gorgeous standing up from the couch and I look at her with a worried expression. I can clearly see that she is paler than usual and I am about to stand up to help her out to head back to her room because I am genuinely worried, and perhaps she might fall down on her way there to her room, but before I can even rush to her side, she is already gone and the door shuts behind her.
"What's that thing the Jedi always say? I rhetorically ask baby girl with a grave expression. I have a bad feeling about this, well it's not just this, it's literally everything." Now I am no longer in the mood to drink at all, and I put my shot glass, still filled with namana, down on the coffee table before looking at baby girl with a serious expression. Not only this day has turned into ridiculousness all around but clearly, on top of all of that, gorgeous is having a migraine.
Sighing softly, I look over her room's door with a frown before closing my eyes briefly. "You are expecting lover boy to come back, Kayne, or you are calling it a night now?" Either way depending on her answer, I am definitely going to stay with her and wait for Atlantis to come back but if she tells me that she is going to get some shut eye now, I will do the same, even if I know deep inside of me, it'll be the restless kind of sleep that will involve some tossing and turning for a few solid hours.

Crystal was looking at her childhood friend when Lily began to talk about Crystal needing to... what, exactly? She was still looking at her friend dubiously expecting the next part of her sentence but then she noticed that Lily seemed to be looking at Elika which made Crystal look at the architect as well when she spoke about never seeing anyone from her family or the other families on Naboo up until she came to Umgul. For all Crystal knew right now, Elika was definitely having a headache, maybe due to the fact that she had consumed that much alcohol in a short amount of time, that often happened to Crystal but for Elika to be paler than usual, that was extreme, right? Again she was no doctor and she had half a mind to call her brother and get him here but Elika had preferred to call it a night.
She wanted to accompany Elika back to her room but she was already gone anyways, and Crystal sighed softly wondering if perhaps it was all of these matters that were causing a migraine to Elika and not the alcohol. After all she had drunk just as much last night and she was migraine free, right? "You can say that again, baby girl..." Crystal looked at Lily knowingly and with a frown, whether Lily was going on a venture guess or not, the attorney was dead on about that statement. Crystal, too, had a bad feeling about everything, not just with what was happening with the Vyridian twins but with everything she was starting to find out more or less. Plus the fact that she had heard about her brother, the tone of his voice, that wasn't helping at all...
"At this point, baby girl, I am not expecting anything, I am not going to hold my breath for anything any longer and I certainly am fed up with everything that might be going on because I do not have a clue." Crystal shrugged, usually she wasn't the type to back down until she resolved all of her issues but now she was understanding more and more than there was more than met the eyes, and obviously right now she had to come to terms that it wasn't just about her family but it was about the Drake family and the Jade family too.
That being said to Lily, Crystal just stood up and sighed softly before gesturing to the bedroom to indicate that she was indeed going to call it a night and she wasn't going to wait for Atlantis to come back at all, but for now, since she needed to tire herself a little more, Crystal walked back into the kitchen after gathering everything to wash those dishes and tidy up everything before making her way to her room to freshen up and change for bed. She just laid there and closed her eyes to clear her mind from everything that was tugging her gray matter with all of the issues that she was faced with... Thankfully after a few moments of hesitation from falling asleep because she indeed wanted to wait for Atlantis, she finally gave up and just fell asleep.

It was undeniable that Atlantis had been dragging his feet to come back to the lakehouse, it was also undeniable that he actually was very apprehensive to have that talk, whatever talk might have been with Crystal. Atlantis knew that he was losing it more or less, he had done several back to back stupids and he had one way to fix that but it was impossible for him to do so right now, he wasn't about to ask something back then he had clearly stated that very morning it should remain with her.
Atlantis looked up the misty sky and sighed softly before looking back at the front door after he had gone through the gate that led to the lakehouse but something seemed amiss within. He frowned and circled the lakehouse to find himself in the gardens, seeing that his brother was there, it seemed like he had fallen asleep and perhaps Franz as well and Ryan was doing whatever Ryan did. Shrugging slightly, Atlantis closed his eyes briefly and took a deep breath, he was hoping he had enough energy to do this because he clearly did not want to drop anyone at all. Extending both of his arms in his brother's and cousin's direction, Atlantis started to levitate them to try and successfully bring them back into the lakehouse, at least into the living room to let them crash onto the couches there.
It took him a few minutes, but thank the Force he managed the feat and he covered the men with blankets before pressing that infamous button again to let the mist roam free back in the garden before he finally made his way to Crystal's room. He looked at her sleeping figure briefly and frowned, not due to her but due to everything that had been happening and he knew that someway and somehow it was impacting her too along with other issues that she had to deal with...
Atlantis woke up before even the break of dawn, he had actually fallen asleep easily next to Crystal and he looked at her momentarily before placing a gentle kiss onto her forehead. Making his way out of the room while putting a shirt on, he decided that perhaps he should start making some breakfast and start brewing some coffee, so he did that and because the night before there had been some bacon at the Academy he did that for breakfast along with scrambled eggs and toasts... Leaning against the kitchen counter, he was thankful that he at least had a restful sleep because he knew that he was going to need that, but either way, it was still early, four a.m. on the clock and he just covered everything knowing that it could be reheated whenever the others got up.

What else is there to say really even I know when to not push when Crystal is in that state, she doesn't know what is going on and clearly I won't be helping by bringing that matter again and again so I'd rather let it slide for the time being, maybe she will have a clarity of mind the following morning and maybe ... I actually do not know. You know when you are in the middle of a matter and you want to help out but you have no idea how to do so because you do not even know what is going on either, that is me right now. I can only empathize with Crystal right now and hopefully she will get the answers she is seeking for sooner rather than later. "Perhaps you should talk with Mace."
It's the last thing I end up telling her, because it's the only thing I can suggest for the time being and however baby girl feels about the Kiffar Jedi Master, I certainly do not have any clue right now but I am very sure that she is bound to know far greater things than most of the people combined. At least that is what I am hoping ... Standing up from the couch and walking over Crystal to kiss the top of her head, I gently squeeze her shoulder and look into her eyes to let her know that I will always be there for her no matter what. Finding Ryan soon enough, I let him know that I am going to potentially get some shut eye and the guys could bunk on the couches if they want but perhaps, I add to Ryan, that I will do a little work ...
That work doesn't actually happen because this day has exhausted me, so instead I find myself lying in bed to sleep ...
The following day ...
I do not know what time it is and I actually do not care right now, but my eyes are wide open. I have slept fine and I should be looking forward to this day but there is something in the corner of my mind to tells me perhaps I shouldn't go through this event, although there is that other side of me that keeps saying that we definitely should. It might not happen again for a long time at all so better make it last right? I did say to gorgeous last night that I am declaring this day a no drama day and I shouldn't go back on something that I have said especially when I know everyone needs this, other people more than ever need this, so I will have to take it upon myself to make this day a fabulous one simple as that ...
Heading to the fresher to start my day at least on a positive note, I figure a shower at least would do the trick until I find myself in the kitchen to have that coffee, and I do find myself in the kitchen when I am done, Lover boy is already there he looks like crap but whatever, I nudge his hip with mine as a hello and look at him for the longest time in silence for now. "You know, Lover Boy, Pursing my lips and shaking my head with a grieving expression. We already have a brooding Vyridian, at least do look like that runway model I believed you were to begin with instead of looking like crap, okay. Please, Grabbing a cup from the cabinet to fix myself some coffee, I look at him with a knowing smile before winking an adding on. Thank you." Taking a sip of that said coffee, I look around noticing that not only he has prepared the coffee but he made breakfast too.

Before the break of dawn...
Opening her eyes tiredly when she felt, or thought she felt that someone had kissed her, Crystal tried to focus and she noticed that someone, Atlantis from the looks of it, had just left her room. Despite everything that had happened last night, despite certain revelations from her brother, and despite the confusion she was left with by her boyfriend, actually seeing him here and knowing that he was here brought a smile to her lips.
Yes she could be annoyed with him and yes often times it would irritate her whenever he would say things and not explain fully but everything else about him outweighed all of that, she just had to remind herself why she had fallen in love with him and also that in every couple she was certain that not everything was running smoothly, but he was still him and she still loved, loves him for the man he really was. But enough with the mush, she needed to do something, so she willed herself to get out of bed to freshen up and get changed into a jogging pants and sweater to go for her run. She did go to see Atlantis and greeted him a good morning before letting him know that she would go on a jog probably with Elika too and Franz, if Elika did join her, and she was the next person Crystal went to see to get a sense of hopefully she was awake and if not, then Crystal wouldn't even disturb her at all...
Back into the lakehouse when the sun was clearly up, Crystal found herself into the kitchen and noticed that Lily was awake, it was early for her childhood friend to be up for a day off from work. Removing her sweater and dabbing the sweat from her temple, Crystal went to take a cup of coffee to pour some in it and also poured some for whoever else, whether it was Elika and/ or Franz before sitting down on one of the stools. She obviously needed to catch a little more breath but thankfully she had stretched after her jog and depending on whether Elika was with her or not she adjusted her pace, like always whenever she'd have a partner for her workout.
"You are up early, baby girl," Crystal said with a playful tone before shaking her head with an amused expression on her features. "I bet that is because you are overexcited that today is going to be one of your most favorite days ever..."

Sitting on the steps after telling Crystal she will be in after a minute or two, Elikapeka leans back, resting on her elbows as she cools down and catches her breath, tired from the jog as much as from the stretching Crystal led her through afterwards since it has been more time than she would like since she has actually done any kind of real exercise; and felling surprisingly good even though she is hungry, sore and tired. Closing her eyes and enjoying the early morning breeze, Elika stays outside until she is a bit less sweaty and no longer feels out of breath, groaning as she stands up and heads into the house.
Unzipping the long sleeved, hooded jogging jacket she wears over a running tank top, Elika pulls her ponytail tighter as she walks into the kitchen and heads immediately for the cup of caf Crystal is holding out towards her, smiling gratefully as she says, "Thanks hon', and leans back against the counter as she takes her first sip with her eyes closed and sighs contentedly before telling Lily, Morning beautiful, and then reaching into the side pocket of her jogging jacket as she tells Atlantis, Good morning to you too, and then walks over to him and hands him the crystal he had given her the previous morning. Thank you again for lending that to me," Elika tells him with a smile, and then, after frowning at the bacon and toast set out since she has decided to try and improve her diet as well as her exercise routine, walks to the fridge to find some fruit instead.
Finding a muja fruit in the fridge, Elika slices it up into a bowl while trying to think of what she'll wear for the day; the thought of spending the majority of the afternoon, if not longer, with Delaana having already kept her from worrying at all about why it is that she woke up in her clothes with no memory of having gone to bed or recollection of what would have led her to do so when it is far more common for her to be up most of the evening with insomnia.

Atlantis had been idly sipping the cup of caf when Crystal came in earlier to tell him that she was heading for a jog and from the looks of it so was Elika indeed, well that was a good way to start off the morning he supposed and he pretty much did the same although he went to the gardens to workout until he felt that he was satisfied and didn't pass up as just a bum doing completely nothing here. He supposed that he should probably tidy up or something, anything and everything he could do was a good excuse to keep his mind occupied and at least stop thinking about those issues he had.
He knew he hasn't the sharing type and the different interactions he had with different people made him realize that the problem it was him, solely him but was he going to violate the privacy of many in order for him and his brother to be exonerated from all charges? Atlantis wasn't comfortable with that at all, he wasn't comfortable in putting his girlfriend on the spot like he wasn't even comfortable in saying names without them being there. Atlantis guessed that he no longer was a team player and that all came back to the whole being a bad idea that he should be the Mist Order Headmaster, he didn't like feeling that way and he certainly did not want to reveal things that weren't his place to reveal.
Well then...
Thankfully his train of thoughts stopped right there when he saw Lily walking into the kitchen, just the usual Lily. Maybe she had no idea or maybe she did, but Atlantis was indeed hoping that she always knew what to say no matter what. Her statement even brought a smirk on the corner of his lips before he shook his head. "Counselor Jankovic, I truly apologize for breaking that myth to begin with..." Atlantis told her playfully before rolling his head as he then noticed that Crystal had walked into the kitchen, soon followed by Elika who had handed back to him that crystal, he looked down at his hand where the crystal was and he looked back at her with a faint smile.
"Morning to you as well, Elika," Atlantis said as he wrapped his hand around the crystal and took a deep breath focusing himself and somewhat casting away those thoughts that were unnecessary for him. Although he did look back at Elika dubiously. "Are you sure you won't be needing this further, I can always go scavenge a new one?" Atlantis offered as he opened his hand again to present the crystal in the palm of his hand, sure he did need this and of course he knew that he had not been so focused yesterday and he had been acting like a paranoid jerk, but the fact that he had been too depended on this, that really was something that worried him that much, he should have been better than that, but he wasn't at all...

"Look alive, Lover Boy and stop breaking the myth for me, Winking at him just to let him know that I am just in fact joking, I am very glad nevertheless that he does smile and he looks more like the Lover Boy Model Face that I know him as than that crappy brooding model who doesn't look like he is taking himself far too seriously. Ah here comes baby girl but where is gorgeous ..? Morning baby girl, and yes that goes without saying, bikini fantasy is so going to make this day just perfect. Right, I am still going to declare this day to be a no drama day, otherwise that isn't going to work at all, but either way, I start looking at Lover Boy to ask him something but before those words come out, Gorgeous, morning to you and did she, Glancing at baby girl with narrowed eyes before looking back at Elika with a serious expression Make you suffer this morning?"
And now she is eating fruits, Oh gosh, gorgeous is really serious about going on that workout regimen. Looking at myself and my overall figure with wide eyes, I may start having a complex here, although not really, I actually do not care as long that I still manage to get into my regular clothes. "Okay, if I do gain a few pounds, I trust you two to tell me. I am obviously looking at both of my housemates because I am very sure that Lover Boy will be too polite or knowing him he will divert the subject, much like hot stuff. I am not trusting the guys, Speaking of the guys, where are Pookie and Boss Man? I know that Hot Stuff is still sleeping, at least that is what he has been doing when I got out of the room. Wasn't Pookie with you two?"
He is probably checking the area or whatever and Boss Man, perhaps he is still catching up on his needed sleep, whatever, as long as they are still around then the better. Taking another sip of my caf before grabbing a plate and some cutlery, I sit down to have something to eat, before I notice that gorgeous is returning the crystal that lover boy has given to her yesterday. "What is that crystal anyways, and what does it do, if you don't mind me asking?" When it comes to Jedi stuff or whatever else that is probably Jedi things, I am a neophyte, I have no idea what that, I have to admit, nice looking crystal is all about but something tells me that Lover Boy did hand that to Gorgeous yesterday for a very good reason ...

Crystal looked upwards briefly towards the ceiling when Lily reiterated that indeed this day was just going to be perfect. By the Force, the powers that be and all the gods and goddesses, she hoped that this day indeed was going to be problem free. Crystal knew that she needed the distraction and hopefully those were going to be entertaining, though she supposed that even if she forgot all of the issues that had come forth the previous evening, she knew that she was just delaying the inevitable; frustration. "You are very welcome, sweetie." Crystal smiled at her friend who had been really up to the task that very morning, they only jogged in a relatively leisure pace and she was fine with that, either way it did help her to clear those distractions by just being there on the path together with Franz around, that much she knew.
Poking her tongue out in Lily's direction, Crystal shook her head and nudged her childhood friend teasingly. "I did no such thing, and besides she is fine, see?" Crystal furrowed her eyebrows and looked at Elika to make sure that she was indeed fine. "You are fine right? You will have to let me know so we can adjust a few things next time." She had been used to being trained or just being coached before and now she was the one doing the driving so to speak, therefore she should be the one adapting especially when she knew that Elika had not worked out in a while also. Crystal would really feel guilty if she had set a high standard... Either way like she had said during the jog and even before Elika should let her know whenever she was going way too fast or too slow.
Picking up a plate and fork, Crystal sat down on one of the stools after she served herself some little food and she looked at Atlantis with a grateful smile before leaning over to kiss his temple as a thanks. "Baby girl, okay yes fine I will tell you whenever you start looking a bag of potatoes." Crystal playfully said with a chuckle, although that Crystal figured would never happen at all. "He was but I think he is scouting the area still or something." Shrugging to let her childhood friend know that for the time being it wasn't that important, she figured that if he was indeed taking that long he might have his own reasons.
Speaking of Franz, and potentially finding him, her mind went to the guests that Atlantis had received last night, she was about to ask him about the extra Jedi that came here, but she refrained from doing so as she noticed that Elika was giving the crystal back to Atlantis. Crystal did have an idea on what that crystal was and what it actually did, but she figured she'd let Atlantis reply that question before grinning. "Is Ryan still being a log, or did you wear him out last night?" Pursing her lips as she looked at Lily innocently, Crystal picked up her fork and started to eat before sipping her caf.

Nodding and covering her mouth with a hand, her thumb keeping the sleeve of her jogging jacket in place, Elikapeka swallows the slice of muja she had popped into her mouth just before Atlantis had asked whether or not she was sure she no longer needs the crystal he had entrusted her with the previous morning, and then smiles as she says, "I'm sure, thank you though. As she only has an idea of what the crystal's properties are, Elika lets Atlantis field Lily's question about what the crystal does, and instead laughs as she answers the question about whether or not Crystal made her suffer, shaking her head and saying cheerily, No, no suffering other than the humbling involved in learning just how out of shape I am, and that suffering was brought down on myself. Lifting a hand and shaking her head when Crystal asks to be assured that Elika will speak up if the pace or intensity of their workouts ever get to be too much for her, Elika jokes, Don't worry hon', no pain no gain, right? Seriously though, I'll let you know if I ever feel overwhelmed, alright?"
Leaning back against the counter after taking a sip of her caf, Elika tries not to laugh when Crystal asks Lily whether Ryan's absence is due to his having been worn out by whatever he and Lily might have gotten up to last night, and then after eating another slice of muja, asks, "So, what do we need to get done before everyone starts arriving this afternoon? Is there anything I can help out with?"

Atlantis closed his hand again around the crystal and smiled warmly before nodding to let Elika know that he got it loud and clear. "Well whenever you might need it again, let me know okay?" He told her with a warm smile before looking at Lily who had asked what that crystal was and what it did. "It's a Kasha, it clears your mind from unnecessary distractions." He informed without trouble at all, now that he was thinking about it, he might not reconstruct his lightsaber that soon, he already had two anyways, so if he still had one down, that did not matter for the time being.
Grinning faintly he looked from Lily to Elika to let her know that his offer definitely still stood and he would have no trouble doing the lending or whatever even if he knew that it was doing a number on him as his mind was pulled in multiple directions constantly. But whatever, the time away from the investigation he would have to learn to center himself without the help of anything at all. But that matter could be revisited next, and he looked on before listening to the exchange occurring in the kitchen.
He had a smirk on the corner of his lips and he looked from Elika to Crystal and Lily after he had smiled to his girlfriend when she subtly thanked him. "Right, before I forget, last night three Jedi did come, it's a family, siblings and the man's daughter, I have invited them." He looked at Lily knowingly with a chuckle. "As per your request and maybe they'll make it depending on how the first approach happens back in the precinct..."
That said and partially done, he did look at Elika and then back to her housemates dubiously about needing to do extra things, he wouldn't mind helping if and when something was needed to be done, at least before he headed out again to see Serrin, Aerandir, Michelle and Morgan. "I should perhaps come back with everyone later after I have introduced them to the people, but anyways," Atlantis furrowed his eyebrows and looked at his girlfriend and Lily. "Yeah, do you need help with anything?"

Kasha ... Why does that name sound familiar? Ah there it is, clears the mind from distraction, therefore perfect for meditation. "Thanks for the info, Lover Boy." Smiling at him, since I am very sure that yesterday he did that on purpose to give that to gorgeous, something tells me that if he didn't, maybe we would have never gone to TaSpa! The guy is considerate, he does things subtly all the time, no one understands to begin with but he does have a reason, Like I am pretty sure he does have a reason for issuing that warning to baby girl yesterday about the newest power couple here on this planet.
It doesn't change the fact that most of us, or at least baby girl will definitely need a valid reason but since I am considering this day to be a no drama day, I don't want to get into that, so I just shut the hell up and take a sip of my caf before looking at baby girl with narrowed eyes. "Ha ha, very funny, although one of these days, I am sure you'll be the one looking like a bag of potatoes, Winking at her playfully, because yes I have just been there and I am definitely implying that whenever she will get that bun in the oven, well either way ... She'll still be fabulous, as always. Although I am counting on you telling me when it does happen for me."
Crap, I still have my conditions to uphold, maybe I can start that today with the barbecue or something ... Which reminds me, since gorgeous did workout this morning and that clearly she is eating fruits for breakfast, I look at her dubiously. "You will have to tell me what you are comfortable eating since you have started that workout, Looking at CKayne perplexedly I have often wondered if she did go into any particular diets before. What did you use to eat? Protein shakes, something else, or ..."
For as long as I remember, I have never seen Crystal restraining herself from any particular foods, maybe she used to eat a certain type of food more, but then, nothing in my memories strike me as odd anyways, in any case, I purse my lips looking at gorgeous thoughtfully. "Nope, nothing needs to be done, unless you wanted some balloons and confettis, we can get that?" I tell her teasingly with a playful wink.

Crystal smiled as she inclined her head when Elika reassured her about their workouts. It was indeed reassuring because truth be told, she knew that, at least, ever since that Crystal had found herself to be attuned to the Force, often times she pushed herself just to see how far she could push herself, when it came to stamina and just control really. Either way, unconsciously it was as if she had been training her entire being to perhaps undertake a next step, but that was a matter she could think about at a later time for really she didn't want to down the mood with her own questioning, issues and anything when she had already done that greatly last night. "No pain, no gain indeed, sweetie, it's just that I have been mostly used to workout with," Crystal glanced at Atlantis with a faint smile. "Atlantis and my brother, that they do put a high standard often times and I don't want that to bleed out on you." It was her main and only reason, but Crystal did trust Elika to let her know if there was any problems or if the running was too intense.
Turning her cup on the kitchen island, Crystal listened attentively to the ongoing exchange here, she clearly had heard that matter about the Kasha crystal previously to Lily tossing a punt in her direction. "Maybe so, but tell me what about you and Ryan, hmmm, no wedding bells any time soon for you two?" Crystal retorted teasingly before rolling her eyes playfully. Not wanting to get on a debate on that, Crystal lifted her hand and nodded before smiling sweetly. "Yes I'll promise to let you know if and when you start looking as such, though I highly doubt it considering your extra curricular activities." Stifling a giggle, Crystal took a deep breath to control her laughter and thankfully Atlantis was providing that to her.
"If they come, then good if not we'll understand. Which also reminds me, Atlantis," Her expression momentarily turned serious as she looked at her boyfriend. "Ares finally commed last night, or at least he left a message to Ryan, he said that he was making his way here to Umgul soon." She should have been relieved, actually she was but Ares' message wasn't something that made her overjoyed really because her brother sounded very serious. "So expect his arrival soon, with I don't know who, perhaps Alisha, or whomever, but anyways..." Crystal shrugged, in a way she was shoving that subject away momentarily before looking at Lily dubiously. "What did Ryan actually buy yesterday from the market, will we have enough?" Crystal stood up from the stool and went to check the conservator, there was enough meat, also non alcoholic beverages, which was a good thing especially that Atlantis had said that there was going to be a little girl apparently. "I have a plan," Crystal looked at Elika with a knowing grin before adding on. "Why don't we go freshen up, so that afterwards you can just comm Delaana and perhaps let her know that she should come sooner than what was originally planned, that way this place won't be filled with others just yet?"

In the middle of taking a sip of her caf when Atlantis tells her that she can ask for the crystal anytime, Elikapeka uses her free hand to give him a thumbs up to let him know she understands the offer, while simultaneously shaking her head to convey that she does not anticipate needing to do so, and after swallowing her caf gives him an appreciative smile as she says, "I appreciate the offer, thank you," leaving it at that. Atlantis' explanation to Lily makes perfect sense to her, Elika having experienced first hand how the crystal had enabled her to unclutter her mind on more than one occasion yesterday; and the explanation furthers her resolve not to behave in such a way that he might feel compelled to offer her the crystal again since she's sure that, being a Jedi, Atlantis more likely than not needs the crystal's properties more often than she would.
Arching an eyebrow in mild surprise when Atlantis explains that the other Jedi that has come to help him and Andros is accompanied by a daughter, Elika doesn't comment; upon reflection she supposes that it should not be terribly surprising that a Jedi would have a daughter given that the Jedi have changed over time, making the incidence of their members having families more common than it would have been in the past. While Elika wonders how old the girl might be, or if she herself is a Jedi, or if it isn't dangerous to have her here with the potential that a Darksider or Sith might be behind the plot against Andros, she doesn't ask any questions since she doesn't feel it is her place to do so as an outsider to the Jedi and the fact that she is a mere civilian to boot.
Waving a hand when Lily asks if there is anything she needs to worry about so far as food is concerned now that Elika is on a diet, Elika says, "Don't worry about it beautiful, I'm only trying to eat healthier, not going bonkers with a crazy diet. Holding her hand up and putting her thumb a centimeter from her index finger while crinkling her nose, Elika jokes, If nothing else I'll just keep my proportions to a minimum if there's any yummy but fatty things around to tempt me. Laughing with a shake of her head when Lily quips about balloons and confetti, Elika asks teasingly, What, no streamers? No beautiful, I think the day will be just as great without any fancy decorations."
Nodding with a smile when Crystal explains the reasons for her concern about the intensity of their workouts, Elika reassures her, "Don't worry hon', any bleeding and I'll yelp in protest right away. Elika feels like she should protest when Crystal suggests that she just freshen up rather than see about helping get things ready, but smiles excitedly at the prospect of seeing Delaana earlier than anticipated when her friend presents the possibility, nodding and saying cheerfully, I like the way you think hon', and then all but skips off towards her room, her mug of caf in hand, as she says, I'll help with snacks or something when I'm dressed."
After debating whether to comm Delaana before or after she starts getting ready, Elika elects to do so afterwards; a decision that proves to be quite sound when, after showering, Elika takes nearly a half hour to decide what to wear, trying on no less than eight outfits before settling on an off the shoulder, cream colored, bell sleeved smock dress that will be light enough to keep her from sweating and shouldn't look too out of place around the pool. Accenting the dress with a pair of necklaces to compliment her pendant of Shiraya, Elika then spends another twenty minutes fussing with her hair, unable to decide whether to wear it up or down until she just gives up in the end and wears it down. Comming Delaana after she is satisfied that she looks casual enough that it hopefully won't be too terribly obvious how much time she spent on getting ready, Elika invites her to come over as soon as she wants to after chattering for a few moments.
After speaking with Delaana, and feeling a bit guilty that she hasn't done anything to help get the place ready, Elika occupies herself by preparing a trio of platters of finger foods - assorted cheeses and crackers for one, sliced fruits on a second, and veggie slices with dip on the third - to set out later, and then heads out to the pool to tidy up around the deck area before finding the net to skim out any leaves or other debris so that it is as clean as possible.

Franz had been scouting the area further after that jog he had with both Crystal and Elika, except he really wasn't jogging by their side because he preferred to not be in their way, like he preferred for Elika to think that he wasn't there at all. He also figured that with that talk that had happened last night, Franz preferred to erase himself from Crystal's view as well because he didn't want to bring back something by his mere presence, not because he didn't want to say anything to her but because just like her he had no idea. What Ryan had also said last night he didn't really know the whole thing to begin with, he wasn't even aware that the Solaris fraternal twins were or had been really close to Raan and the Drake siblings.
Now he really was back on the property, and actually he had been on the property the whole time except that he was in a communication with Horsea about the layout of this place but also the security measures that surrounded the lakehouse overall. Apparently any intrusions would be detected immediately. It was reassuring considering that this place was going to house a pool party soon with not just Atlantis present but also Andros. Just the Vyridian brothers were already that much of a public figure in Umgul and it was going to be worse with the ongoing allegations, but it was his job in a way to make sure also that nothing was going to disturb that.
Franz found himself on the deck where Elika was, after he had cleared the mist from the gardens and after he had freshened up and put on a shirt but also loose pants. Nudging Elika's shoulder teasingly before looking at her with a warm smile he inclined his head. "What you are wearing compliments you, I am sure that Delaana will love it." It wasn't that hard to figure out plus Elika was beautiful that was undeniable, she also had a beautiful personality.
Before he started thinking about that, he decided to help her out to clear and clean the pool also but he used the Force and just removed the leaves from there before looking around to check if they did not leave anything in the recess area last night. Franz could have sworn that he had fallen asleep there but instead when he woke up that very morning, he was indoors and on the couch with a blanket on top of him. He still had no idea who had put him there, and he would like to thank the person. "By the way, do you know who brought me back inside? Was it Crystal?" Or it could have been Atlantis but Franz had assumed that the man had stayed out late to welcome the visitors in the academy. Crystal also was very capable of telekinetically lifting him he was very sure of that as he knew that despite outwards appearances, Crystal did start to train in the Force and she also seemed to get a quick hang to it.

"Duly noted, healthier eating coming right up, Winking at gorgeous with a mischievous expression, my mind has gone to its usual place again ... I really need to stop, thankfully though I am not going to say a thing about what is filtering through my mind right now because that would be very awkward for gorgeous, I am guessing, Just go get ready for the Hapan Bombshell, I have this." I really don't foresee that big amount of deal when it comes to preparation, just a few finger foods and then the main course, barbecue, simple as that, and I should probably do the grilling business, that must count on the whole deal that I have with Kayne right? Right ...
Laughing at what baby girl has just said when she asks me about my relationship with Ryan, I shake my head at the thought, I don't really think we are at that phase just yet, and besides I do like to take my time and I'd rather not dive into that nilly willy. "Baby girl, relationship seniority rules, so I am still saying that you and lover boy are going to tie the knot first, so ... Looking at lover boy this time while tilting my head on the side with a dubious expression on my features as if I am currently asking him what he is waiting for already? I am still calling you two to get through all of that first, at least in this group here."
Finishing my coffee and placing that into the sink, I let the water run to fill the cup so it isn't difficult to wash off the dried caf there, I turn around to pull out the meat from the freezer so that I can bring that out by the grill, that way it'll be thawed enough to be grilled perfectly by the time everyone gets here. Satisfied with that, I go back to my room to get ready and at least get Ryan to wake his bum up and stop being a log ...
Wearing the red bikini that I have purchased at Clothe Encounters and that dress on top, I do not forget to get my hat because I am sure that I will be needing that, plus the whole sun's cream and all of that, I walk back to the kitchen, to gather some bottles but I put that into a cooler with some ice before hauling everything out by the pool, I bet that I will be needing some cocktails so the majority of those bottles are alcohols but there is also some juice and whatever, to make that perfect mix.
"Pookie and gorgeous! I call out to them but then I notice clearly what gorgeous is wearing, so I wolf whistle teasingly. You definitely have been holding out on me. I tell gorgeous with a playful pout before laughing and shaking my head playfully. Anyways, what do you guys want to drink?"

Elikapeka smiles a bit embarrassedly when Franz compliments her, as uncomfortable as ever with being complimented given that her chronically low self-esteem always leads her to suspect that such compliments are undeserved, but smiles all the same since she is, at least at present, able to distinguish that her thoughts are not always entirely accurate due to her personal issues. "You look very nice as well, Elika tells Franz sincerely, and I'm sure that Ayodele will like your outfit. Taking a last look at the pool as she paces around the edges to make sure that she has cleaned it as thoroughly as possible, Elika purses her lips in confusion when Franz asks who brought him inside last night, and admits, I don't know, with a mildly amused smile as it seems odd that Franz would have been so tired as to have no idea how he found his way inside. With a shrug of her shoulders, Elika says, Sorry I can't clear that mystery up for you Pookie, and then, her OCD having kicked in by the bit of dirt she had spotted on the bottom of the pool, begins heading for the cabinet where they keep the vacuum and hose for the pool so that she can clean it thoroughly. As she hooks the vacuum and hose up to the pole, Elika suggests to Franz, Why don't you comm Ayodele and see if she wants to come over a little early? She might appreciate having some time with just you and a few other people around before everyone else gets here, and that way she has a chance to meet everyone a few at a time rather than all at once?"
Kneeling beside the grate where she needs to hook the hose up to the pool's suction, Elika looks over when Lily comes out, rolling her eyes when her friend whistles. "You're one to talk, Elika tells Lily with a smile, crinkling her nose as she teases, You make me feel like I need to dress up a bit more with your outfit. Very glamorous beautiful, Elika says sincerely, and then stands and starts vacuuming the bottom of the pool as she answers the question about what she would like to drink with a question of her own, Do we have any ice? Some margaritas or daiquiris would be a nice treat right about now, don't you think?"

It was a simple v-neck shirt and loose pants. It was nothing worth bragging about but he supposed that he was most comfortable in these type of clothes and clearly also he wasn't the kind of Jedi to wear robes and what not. It wasn't as if he was going to be told off by the Head Honcho of the Academy since after all even Atlantis was the very unconventional Jedi so it was perfect. Needless to say, Franz smiled sheepishly at Elika's compliment and inclined his head gratefully. "Simple and not too show off right?" Franz asked with genuine curiosity. He really didn't want to pass up as something he really wasn't to be perfectly honest. He didn't think of himself as being suave or anything, but then again personality ended when comparison started and therefore he wasn't going to compare himself to Atlantis or even Ryan. Both of them could be suave, that much he knew...
Elika didn't know who brought him in, well it didn't matter for now, it was something he was bound to find out sooner or later he guessed which was why he just looked at Elika with a warm smile that said that it wasn't important right now. What was important was him potentially contacting Ayodele... Well, did he even have her comm frequency? Franz nibbled his lower lip in deep thought because he actually couldn't remember if he did get Ayodele's comm frequency but he did remember that he knew where she lived. Ever since he got hit on the head with that lampshade, he felt like his short term memory had taken a partial blow. "Um, I don't think I have her comm frequency." He made a face at that and tried to recall perfectly, but he was unable to do that at least he couldn't remember about that particular instance where they did exchange comm frequencies. "But I do know where she lives, and I had told her yesterday that I would pick her up a midday..." Franz pouted at the thought because the suggestion from Elika was tempting indeed, it would have been nice if Ayodele came here earlier provided that everyone was okay with that.
Brushing the thought aside momentarily, Franz looked at Elika and gestured to what she was doing. "Did you want me to handle that?" He asked dubiously, he didn't want to step on her toes, and well it was her decision, right now he turned to look at Lily who had yelled out and called out to him and Elika. Yes, because he was still a guy, he did look longer than necessary before averting his gaze and shaking his head blinking a few times. "What Elika said, though right now I may settle for just chilled water because I am piloting later."

"My darling gorgeous, Grabbing a cloth to clean thoroughly the glasses that will be used for the margaritas and/ or daiquiris, I still have my gaze onto Elika with an amused grin. because that is not you looking glamorous at all? To me she does look glamorous, her dress is perfect, and she has nothing to change at all. You will have to show me what your definition of dressing up is because I am drawing a blank right now."
I am just wearing a see through dress with my bikini beneath, I don't see my outfit as glamorous at all but then again, I just believe in being comfortable with what I am wearing. What gorgeous is wearing right now, she looks far more glamorous than me. Still I am starting to wonder what upping she is talking about because she has topped it all right now. That aside, margaritas or daiquiris, but there are so many ways to make those beverages ...
"We do have ice, and we have everything we need to make those cocktails but, Putting the rag down neatly, I look at gorgeous mainly and I even glance at pookie when he declines the first drink because he has to pilot. Pookie, it's just one drink, please don't tell me you are a lightweight. I really don't see him as being a lightweight, but anyways, that point aside, I look at the both of them dubiously. How do you actually want your margaritas or daiquiris? Salt or sugar on the rim of the glass, or nothing at all, do you want it frozen or neat, or ... Again like I have said there are so many ways to make a margarita, just like there are two main different flavors for the daiquiris And what flavor do you favor for the daiquiris?"
I sure hope that baby girl is going to come out soon because she can be the tie breaker if needed be, also she knows how to make cocktails also, just like I do. One thing about me, what I do not do when it comes to food, I do it in cocktails because it's funnier. "Also we can have mojitos or caipirinhas, but Kayne is the pro in making those, as she manages to perfectly balance all the ingredients, which can be treacherous because, you think it's light in alcohol but after two or three, you are already lightheaded."
Something is missing, right ... Music! Walking towards the recess area, I grab that infamous remote to get the sound system out and select that song. "Did you by the way need help over there, gorgeous? As for you Pookie, go find your vixen and bring her here already before others arrive!"
