All of the talk of rides and arrangements for getting everyone to the various places they might need to get to gives Elikapeka an idea about how she might go about having some time free from anyone watching over her, an arrangement she has only recently begun to find somewhat uncomfortable for reasons which may be obvious to some, as well as offering the added benefit of giving Franz at least a portion of the evening to enjoy without needing to worry about acting as her bodyguard.
Giving Delaana's hand a gentle squeeze to get her attention, Elika smiles mischievously as, Delaana's agreement to her idea being an integral part of what she has in mind, she first determines whether or not the Hapan is open to her plan, she asks, "Remember that offer to teach me to pilot my airspeeder, my Ceesi? How would you feel about starting those lessons tonight? You could pilot us to your place, Elika explains while absently tracing a finger up Delaana's arm, and then sliding her finger slowly back down it as she continues, and then I could pilot it back here afterwards."

Delaana had bade her goodbye to those who left smiling even at those that did, until her attention shifted in Elika's direction when she felt her hand being squeezed by the architect. Lana looked at her with genuine curiosity. Elika's plan was tempting that was a fact, Lana would have been for it all the way, but there was just something that didn't sit right with her currently. Something told Lana, that if and when she accepted that idea, to teach Elika how to pilot that very evening and allowed her to return home after one mere piloting lesson, someone, and not just anyone would really blow at her. Nonetheless she kept her expression in check and still kept looking at Elika dubiously before her expression turned into a smile. "I do remember indeed, my Shakal," Lana said softly giving Elika's hand a gentle squeeze. "We could indeed do that, but are you sure you will be comfortable enough to pilot it back here alone?" Lana asked thoughtfully, she remembered that her first time piloting, she still needed someone accompanying her, but then again, everyone learned at different speed right?
And then another idea came to Lana, but it wasn't something she wanted to say currently, but then again there was always the solution of Elika staying at her place for the evening, and they could just keep on talking, whatever. But right now the question of doing just that, on taking Elika's speeder, she wondered if Andros would even say anything about it... And that clearly was something she didn't want to stand in the way considering that he was also her boss. "Either way, as long as I can have some more time with you, my Shakal, it is whichever you prefer..." Winking playfully at Elika, Lana smiled warmly, in the depth of her mind, she was certain that nothing bad would happen because she still was going to teach Elika to pilot indeed and would make sure that Elika was comfortable enough to do so on her own.

Ares couldn't agree more on what Ali had said about perhaps being some good for Andros and Isis. Ares did not comment further and instead just took advantage of this present moment, and surprisingly that just did the trick, he was happy just being here and talking to a few people while looking over Lukas and Morgan, particularly Lukas with a warm smile. At least the young boy was enjoying his time and having fun with Morgan that he really wasn't wondering where his mom was right now.
That right now seemed to have taken longer than that, and Ares was certainly smiling especially after his very own brother had returned and blatantly stated to not even expect for those two who had gone inside to come back anytime soon. That said and done, Ares took a deep breath and just from time to time had returned to the pool and taken something to drink, a shot of namana and just idly lazed on the lounge seat there by Ali. And still he had not been asked about his whereabouts or particularly he had not been asked about anything he had wished to discuss with his siblings, at least for now. He did tell Lily implicitly that he wouldn't break that no drama rule of the day and it seemed that his siblings weren't inclined to do so either. Win, win for a lot of them.
A while later, as he had returned to the lounge seat and had dried off more or less, Ares was again sitting by his fiancée with a knowing smirk, it had been a while since Andros and Isis had indeed disappeared. "Your cousin must have thawed out my cousin..." Ares murmured in amusement before shaking his head and looking towards the lakehouse entrance only to see Andros actually stepping out from within just after Serrin had left.
"It is getting late indeed, and I am sure that lot here are getting tired, I know Lukas is pretty much exhausted." Ares stated as he looked at Isis' son and smiled affectionately before turning to look at Alisha. "We do have a speeder, so that is not a problem to Ali and I, then again I have no idea about Isis..." Ares let that sentence trail and shrugged nonchalantly before glancing back at Andros.

Tipsy, but not to the point that I do not have a clear conscience, I am just pleasantly buzzed right now and very euphoric, I have no idea how many shots I have had but it is good enough. I still do glance around from time to time to see if Boss Man ever returns but insofar, not at all. That actually makes me happy for him, one way or another ... Even if he is by his own admission in a complicated relationship with Lara Drake ... But who am I to judge since, hey, he is not the first to be doing that, I know it too well.
Thankfully at some point I do switch to water because there is no way I want to be drunk and make a fool out of myself and I am just idly tracing some patterns onto Ryan's hand while talking from time to time with the others around ... Until of course, considering that it's starting to be the evening and Serrin is heading out first. Waving my hand in her direction and even thanking her to have come and that hopefully she had a relaxing time, I finally glance towards the entrance of the lakehouse to see Andros emerging from within. Well, well ... I may be a tease or can be blunt and what have you but even then, I am not about to point out the obvious to Boss Man, sometimes I have no idea what reaction he will have and besides, I am not about to tempt his ire right now, plus something tells me he'd rather not be put on the spot anyways.
But since Boss Man is standing next to the Hapan Bombshell and Gorgeous, I am about to ask Lana if she needs a lift but I manage to ovearhear that exchange between Lana and Elika, and well while I do admire Gorgeous suggesting that, something tells me that Boss Man might not like it at all considering his reaction the previous night about lifting her security details. Preferring not to get onto that matter, I stay my tongue and turn to look at Aerandir.
"Do you three need a lift back at the academy? Asking that question to him, since I have no doubt that is perhaps the location that they have taken up temporary residence, I cannot help but to ask considering that they have come with Serrin and since she has said that she would be heading there on foot, perhaps they have come on foot too? Gosh, I hope not ... I am sure that the guys, whoever can give you a lift or one of us can call an airtaxi." Smiling warmly before looking back at Ares who has just spoken directly to Andros, I cannot help but to turn and look at the man who obviously has had a good time ...

The afternoon was clearly coming to an end especially when the sun was well in the west right now, and it was starting to be chilly, thankfully though there was a firepit there in the middle of the recess area and he did start that up just in case for those who would grow cold... Serrin had already gone and he had told her that perhaps they would be seeing one another sooner rather than later, since after all he did stay at the Academy most of the time. Currently something just was bothering him deep inside, he very well knew that he had to take Ayodele home but there was also the case right there of Delaana, who might be accompanied home by Elika and on that Headhunter. Pursing his lips in thoughts and looking over Andros and also Atlantis with wide eyes, something told him that one of them, most likely the former wouldn't like that arrangement that Elika was doing especially when he was within earshot.
Preferring not to get in the middle of that, Franz took a deep breath and turned to look at Ayodele with a warm smile. "Just let me know when you are ready to go home, I will gladly drop you home." Franz said with a knowing smile before tilting his head slightly on the side with a playful expression. "Or we could go for another cup of coffee at the Hollowed Grounds, and this time it'll be entirely my treat?" Franz just offered that as a suggestion, he did after all spend a great moment with her, they just talked about anything and everything, and he just enjoyed her presence that was just refreshing. Also he just enjoyed her humor, that was a fact and maybe he just had a little hard time to say goodbye for now.

Lakehouse - Inside
When she turned to face the bed again, he stood up in all his glory, walked over and pulled her against him murmuring that she made it hard to leave this room. Smiling wryly, she slid her hands up his chest to rest one hand on his shoulder and the other against his cheek.
"I know, but we have to go back out there. We've been gone long enough. We can discuss this later...." She spoke with a small wave of a hand between them. "....if you still want to, that is." Smiling, she dropped her hands as they pulled away from each other with his assurance that he'd take care of the bed. Folding her arms across her chest, she walked out of the bedroom with a slight grin and headed toward the bathroom.
Once inside the bathroom, she splashed some water on her face and looked at her reflection in the mirror, noticing a couple of small red marks on her neck by her ear. Rubbing at it with a hand, she shook her head with a chuckle. Well there was no hiding that and she could almost hear Ali's amused comments about it in her head. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, she turned and left the bathroom making her way outside to the pool area again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lakehouse - Gardens - Poolside
Stepping out of the house, Ice walked over to the pool area and the lounge chair she had been sitting in before going inside. She avoided eye contact with Andros for the time being, not because she was embarrassed that probably most of the adults knew what they had been doing, but because she was focused on Lukas who was now sitting on the chair occasionally rubbing his eyes and looking tired after his day of playing with Morgan in the pool. Upon seeing Ice, he grinned toothily and held his arms out.
"Mommy, you back! You missed Mogie maked more water balls an we had funs! I shweepy now."
Smiling at her son, somewhat relieved that he didn't question her somewhat long absence from the poolside, Ice sat on the edge of the chair as Lukas moved over to sit in her lap. She wrapped her arms around his small body as she kissed the top of his head then ruffled his hair with a hand. "I'm glad you had fun with the Morgan and the water balls, dude. Maybe you two can play together some more later on tomorrow, or the next day, if she's not busy."
She hugged him and smiling lovingly before looking to Ali and Ares with a teasing smirk. "So am I going to have to find a ride to the Misty Lodge so you two can discuss that movie you were watching on the trip here?"

Surprisingly, the rest of the afternoon, Crystal didn't drink as much, she stopped at three shots of namana before really losing her composure and perhaps doing things that she would usually do when inebriated. But she was quite content on just spending the afternoon relaxing and talking with a few person, plus the fact that her boyfriend was here, but also Andros... The latter being busy inside with Ice, but still he was here and that meant that they were having a good time. Crystal knew that it was going to come to an end soon especially when Serrin was the first to leave and even Andros had returned followed shortly by Ice herself.
Looking at them for a brief moment, Crystal just gave a knowing smile but said nothing more at all, instead she focused her attention onto both Elika and Lana. Having the ability to read on lips, Crystal understood their conversation and quite honestly, she did not blame Elika for wanting to spend some time alone with Lana without a security detail at least, but hopefully Andros who was very much against lifting her security detail was going to be lenient about that. That was going to be tough in convincing him, that much Crystal knew, she was just hoping for something good to happen...
Hopefully.
Having nothing left to say, especially when the guys right now seemed to be offering to be the chauffeurs of whomever, Crystal rose from her seat and smiled at everyone equally. "Thank you everyone for coming and I do hope that you have enjoyed your day." Looking in Ice's direction in particular, Crystal winked knowingly at her, pretty sure that she did enjoy her afternoon. "Did any one of you need anything else before leaving? Or something?" Crystal asked softly as she started gathering the shot glasses on the table there thankful that Franz had started the fire there to warm up their surroundings, Crystal just placed the empty bottles aside and placed everything else onto the tray there to bring that inside later, once all the guests were gone.
Turning to look at Alisha, her future sister in law, and her brother, Ares, she smiled at them both and then asked a little bit reluctantly. "Ares... Possiamo parlare domani?" (Can we talk tomorrow?) While she did feel a little guilty about that, actually not so much considering that for a long time she was trying to get a hold of Ares, and also there was something that Ali had said in their brief exchange that had puzzled Crystal. But that could wait until tomorrow, for technically even if Lily had told her that Crystal very well could ask Ares, she did not dare to break that peaceful ongoing atmosphere.

Not wanting to overstay her welcome once it becomes readily apparent that the majority of those in attendance are ready to call it an evening, at least in so far as the large gathering is concerned, Ayodele smiles while tilting her head to the side as though Franz's request that he be informed when she is ready to take her leave requires more thought than it truly does, and pretends to ponder the question for a beat before she answers by asking teasingly, "Are you not bored with company yet then, Franz? I would gladly accept your offer of a coffee if you are not," she concludes in an amused tone, leaving it in his hands whether or not their time together ends with the ride to her home or with the coffee.
Smiling when Crystal expresses her hope that all have enjoyed the gathering, Ayodele says, "Thank you, and your housemates, for having us all. I had a lovely time. Unsure whether Franz would like a moment to make his own farewells, Ayodele rests a hand on his arm as she tells him, I just need to pack my things, Franz, and then I will meet you out front by the speeder, shall I?" Not asking so much as making Franz aware of her plan, Ayodele leans forward to kiss him lightly on the cheek, her lips cool against his cheek, and then goes to collect her towel, and other belongings so that she can then meet him by the speeder as planned.

Visibly, and unashamedly, pouting when Delaana, in the kindest way possible, points out the perfectly obvious fact that one lesson alone may not be enough to give Elikapeka the ability, much less the confidence in her ability, to pilot her modified Z-95 on even a short trip, Elika crinkles her nose and theatrically slumps down dejectedly as she admits, "No, my Ceesi, probably not. Perking up a little bit when Delaana's follow-up statement makes it clear that her pointing out the obvious was not motivated by any desire to shorten their time together - which Elika believes she probably should have known even without the reassurance of having it confirmed but is unable to easily or entirely believe as her deep-seated lack of self-confidence, as always, does an admirable job making her feel as though she is not worthy of Delaaa's attention or affection, which Elika, at times, cannot help but feel could be withdrawn at any moment - Elika finds herself smiling as she shrugs and says, Well, I can at least come along for the ride it looks as though you'll need to get from someone, so there is that."
Finding a ride, Elika thinks, won't be too hard with all of the offers being thrown out to take whomever needs to be somewhere to that somewhere by any of the someones offering to take the whomevers, and since she isn't sure whether or not Delaana has a preference as to which of the someones takes her home, Elika elects to let Delaana sort that particular matter out, and instead turns her attention to saying goodbye to those that are already beginning to leave, adding her thanks to their guests to those Crystal offers.

Andros' ears somewhat twitched upon overhearing Elika's suggestion to Delaana, he showed no outward expression currently and he definitely didn't make a scene. Thankfully for him, and everyone else present, Delaana said something that actually made him feel inwardly content not that anyone would make any differentiation between that and what had happened earlier inside with Ice. Andros was just glad that Delaana gave a perfectly good explanation that made Elika relent from that idea of piloting her Z-95 alone to begin with.
Looking over towards Ice momentarily with a knowing expression before glancing towards Elika thoughtfully, Andros tilted his head slightly on the side and arched his eyebrow dubiously but also asked that question to Delaana. "I could take you back home..." Andros told Delaana before glancing at Elika thoughtfully with a faint smile. "Though I do have to take care of something in my office first, therefore if you want to stay with her for a little while longer, would that be alright with you?" Andros did have to deal with a few things and clearly he knew he also wanted to do another thing but that could wait, for now. Also considering that Franz had offered to take Ayodele home and from the sound of it, he wasn't exactly going straight to her place but instead they would have a little get together back at that coffee place, Andros just glanced at Franz, and inclined his head before looking at Ayodele and repeating that same gesture.
"I can also take you two at the Lodge if you want." Andros gestured to both Ice and Lukas, that way Atlantis would only have to think about the Felucian Jedi or something, and if they had their own means of transportation, he should just stay here and whatever. Taking a deep breath, Andros waited momentarily and closed his eyes briefly before walking over to where he had left his effects and that went from his datapad to his cigarettes.
Upon consulting his datapad, he noticed a message from Mace. Reading that said message, Andros typed out a reply letting her know that he should be in his office in a little while, he had half a mind to add another note that now his same office housed an ysalamir but he figured that she already knew anyways...

"It would seem that there was a little more "thawing" than normal going on in there, chéri. Though they both do seem a little less tense than they were before."
Ali chuckled with amusement when Andros came out of the house with Ice following a few moments later. Glancing over to Ares with a mischievous grin, she eyed the water droplets on his body from the pool and had some naughty thoughts of her own, but those could wait until they were alone in their suite at the lodge. For now she was content to lean against him with a hand resting, relaxed, on his thigh.
She looked over to Ice and Lukas, the boy telling Ice about the water balls and then mentioning he was "shweepy" all in the same breath. Smiling at Lukas' statement, she looked up to meet Ice's gaze when her cousin spoke, asking if she would have to find her own ride to the lodge so Ali and Ares could have some privacy to discuss that movie they had supposedly watched on the way here. Laughing, Ali facepalmed then dropped her hand back to Ares' leg as she looked back at him.
"We're never living that down. We should probably come up with a better excuse next time."
Still smiling, she met Crystals gaze when Crystal asked Ares if they could talk tomorrow. Her eyes traveled back to Ares with an arched eyebrow, knowing that his sister had a lot of questions for him. Not wanting to answer for him, because that would be rude, Ali gave him a gentle reassuring pat on the leg as she quietly waited for him to answer Crystal.

Ryan had just stayed there and spoke with Ali, they caught up, he also spoke with Ares but there weren’t any serious talks, it was just the same old, same old. And with some already leaving and him bidding his farewells, and also with Andros and Ice coming back after their one on one, Ryan just looked momentarily at Ice after she said a few things to Ali about that said movie. Unable to help himself, Ryan just chuckled and said nonchalantly but also teasingly.
"Right, yes, about that movie, I don't suppose that the prelude was 'Up Against The Wall' and a prologue with, I don't know, oh say 'Let's do it again'?" Ryan just knew that he was asking for a beatdown from Andros perhaps and quite honestly he didn't care at all, all that mattered to him right then and there was that both Andros and Ice were happy, what else right? But then again, it wasn't that much that he was pulling Alisha's and Ares' leg, it was more Ice's.
"Either way, as long as it just a great action movie, who will blame you, right?" Ryan smirked and looked at Andros with an arched eyebrow before turning to look at Ares considering that they used to share a bond, well, that was enough of that right now, for now in the want or need to not make this more awkward, Ryan looked at whomever else to indicate that he was good too to pilot but then ultimately he looked at Lily with a warm smile before nudging her slightly. "Hey, need help with anything?" Ryan asked softly before looking over towards his sister who had already gathered the empty shot glasses and also asking to talk with Ares tomorrow.
Right, there was also that. Sighing internally, Ryan looked at his brother in silence knowing that the three of them should be sitting down somewhere and have a private talk.

One thing was for sure currently, he was thankful that Andros was taking the reign on Elika's and Lana's matter right then and there, he had also seen his cousin's look and the man was appeased, he guessed that he had Ice to thank for that, not that he would make any commentary about that right now anyways. And then there was Ayodele, he wasn't tired of her company, not at all, actually he had felt that the time had just flown too fast for his taste. It was just good company and he knew that was bound to happen. There was also her cool kiss on his cheek, which he actually found warm than anything else. Taking a deep breath, he looked from Andros to Elika and smiled warmly.
"If there is a change of plans, please let me know, I shall be in the city anyways." Franz said with a knowing smile before moving out of the recess area. "Thanks everyone." He added on looking at all of them with a warm smile, and he knew that it was vague but at the same time, he was just grateful for them all.
Heading to where his effects were, Franz took them all and quickly headed inside to change into comfortable clothes and putting what he wore at the pool into a bag, he was carrying that bag as he walked out towards the speeder, the same one he had used to pick up Ayodele earlier and he just looked at her, seeing her there smiling. "Coffee it is, for I truly am not bored with company, especially you." He said with a knowing smile before taking her bag and putting his and hers into the trunk and he opened the passenger's side for her to get in and he just jogged to his side to start up the airspeeder. "Is the Hollowed Ground good for you, or did you want another place?" Franz asked thoughtfully as he maneuvered himself in the direction of Umgul City.

Delaana really didn't want to cut her time with Elika, not right now but judging from the time and a few already leaving, she also knew that overstaying her welcome wasn't reasonable, even though she was quite certain that Crystal and/ or Lily wouldn't have minded anyways. Still, one thing was certain, she was glad to have averted that matter about piloting the Headhunter, still she would have had another idea anyways if Elika had not accepted the obvious and truth there. Smiling warmly and brushing Elika's nose teasingly, Lana inclined her head. "Yes, there is indeed still that, but also you also finding out where I do live, my Shakal." Winking playfully, at least she wasn't in a bad part of the city, it was just up to her standard and functional, nearby everything she needed.
Turning her attention onto Andros who had offered to be the one to drop her off, Lana arched her eyebrow slightly before smiling yet again, as he really seemed okay with that, not that she would think he wasn't because she just knew deep inside, but then she really didn't want to impose so to speak, which was why she looked at Elika dubiously. "That is of course, if you are alright with that, my Shakal, I am just three blocks away from the government building..." Lana explained before glancing at Andros with a grateful smile. "Thank you for the offer, sir, but I shall leave the decision to her for the other part." Glancing at Elika again, Lana smiled warmly and just assured her. "It's as you like and no pressure, I am sure that we can tag along with someone else?"

"You don't say, amore..." Ares told her teasingly glancing at Ali with a knowing smile before noticing that look she had been giving him, he just knew that look and just wrapped his arms around her waist, giving her a little squeeze. "I know what you are thinking, chérie, but really, tonight, I promise" Ares murmured softly pecking her cheek and noticing that Andros and then Isis had come back from what they had been doing.
Focusing his attention onto Isis, he shook his head with an amused grin before looking at Ali with a faint chuckle "Do we really have to come up with a good excuse?" Ares asked playfully, for Lukas yes that was a fact but afterwards, what did it matter anyways, and then what he didn't think was going to happen did happen. It got him to look at Ryan with wide eyes and he pursed his lips to stop himself from laughing.
"Mhmmm, great action movies indeed, one that I am sure Isis can confirm." Ares said nonchalantly looking at her with a knowing smile and he even looked at Andros momentarily, the pair seemed to have relaxed indeed, which was good and perhaps the latter could at least think better, but what the heck and what did he know really. Andros' mind was just most of the time a contradiction.
Finally he turned his attention onto his sister and looked at her for a moment in silence, he just knew what she was referring to and he also knew that he indeed had to speak with her, not just with her but with Ryan as well. Inclining his head. "Si, tomorrow would be a good time, just let me know when you are available and comm me, I will be where you want us to meet?" Ares suggested thoughtfully looking at her with a little smile.

Well, no answer ... No matter, so whatever? Looking away from them, figuring they can find their own way anyways, I return my full attention onto the going ons at the recess area and just find the whole interaction that has started right then and there very amusing, especially when Hot Stuff starts giving off movie titles. "I didn't say it ... For once. Lifting both of my hands in surrender and looking at both Ice and Boss Man, whatever has occurred there, then good for them, whatever, the guy seems to have relaxed anyways, and it looks like he isn't making a big deal out of Gorgeous' idea but just offering an alternative instead. That said, considering that there is really nothing left more to say or nothing much left to do, my attention reverts to Ryan thoughtfully when he asks me if I need help with anything. Ne, but perhaps a little clearing up will do just fine."
Noticing that CKayne has already started the cleaning up but guessing that she has left the tray there for the moment considering that she prefers to wait that the others have gone, I finish up gathering the other things, cutlery and plates and put them on that said tray before looking over Ayodele and Pookie with a knowing smile and just bidding my farewell. Though afterwards a part of me is surprised that Baby Girl is willing to postpone that talk of hers with her brother until tomorrow and Ryan seems to not even want to engage it just now. Clearly that is out of my jurisdiction anyways, which is why I stay out of it and instead turn to look at Gorgeous and the Hapan Bombshell. "Gorgeous, I don't suppose, that you will be needing a pick up later?" I ask her nonchalantly, for something tells me that with what Ryan has said previously, Andros will be unavailable and maybe Pookie too, sure there is always Lover Boy, or heck Baby Girl or myself can do it, but still, if I were Gorgeous, I'd stay the night with the Hapan Bombshell so they can just talk ... Or whatever.

*Day over, all had had their fun, and Aerandir had acquainted himself with Atlantis and his friends and family. Or at least, as much as he could have, all things considered. Morgan clearly had the most fun, playing with Lukas in the pool, though he'd hoped she would have spent some time getting to know the others present instead of giving in to her excitement upon seeing her little friend in person once more. Well, he wasn't sure how often he and Ice would cross paths while they were here, so he supposed there was no real harm done; they'd likely find plenty of other opportunities to mingle with the residents of Umgul while they were here and conducting their investigations. Once all was said and done, the party thanked the family for their hospitality, declined their offer for a ride back to the academy, gathered their things, and were soon on their way. For now, the fun was over; the investigation was soon to begin.*

Crystal thanked everyone who had come, also the Calmcacil family, hoping to see them one way or another, she just knew that they had come here because of Atlantis' request. Taking a deep breath and massaging her neck slightly, her attention ultimately focused onto her brother who had accepted that get together for tomorrow. "Sounds good, Ares, grazie mille." Crystal told him sincerely before glancing at her other brother. Ryan definitely had to be there too, that was a given but, she wondered if they should also bring their other halves, but then again, she supposed that with Atlantis being busy, one way or another, that might not be possible.
No matter, she was going to wing it.
"It's quite alright, Ryan, don't worry about it." Crystal told him after Lily's request for that clearing up. Closing her eyes briefly, Crystal looked up the darkening sky and sighed softly, she had half a mind to ask Ares if he had heard from their dad, but considering that she didn't want to add any thing more that would prevent them from ending this day in a peaceful note, she just gathered the tray that was full of things to wash. She just knew that she had to get that done and later head for shower. "I'll be in the kitchen and then the workout room."
Crystal spoke to no one in particular and quite honestly she was just restless, but she did look once at Atlantis with a knowing gaze before making her way inside to actually wash the dishes and get done with it all, the rest outside, she could deal with that the following day, right now she just wanted to get her mind occupied again which was why after finishing up with the dishes, she headed to that work out room and just put her gloves on, not even bothering to put workout clothes on, instead she kept her shirt and bikini on and just started punching the bag there.

Ice had the courtesy to blush when Crystal gave her knowing wink upon her and Andros' return from the Lakehouse. Smiling sheepishly, she gave a little shrug trying to look somewhat innocent, but inwardly she knew nobody was going to buy that pile of BS. It was then that Andros caught her attention by offering to give her and Lukas a ride to the Misty Lodge. Settling Lukas back down on the chair, she glanced up at Andros answering him as she checked her bag to make sure everything was in it.
"If you don't mind...."
She replied with a half smile while she zipped up the bag. She was about to say something else but Ryan's comment about "that movie" caused her to pause for a few seconds with an arched eyebrow. He obviously had seen them making out in the hallway which normally would've been a bit awkward for Ice, but since it was Ryan with his good nature and humor, she didn't feel embarrassed or anything by his comment. Instead, she rolled with it and replied with genuine amusement.
"While both were very good movies...." Chuckling lightly, with amusement, she plucked her sunglasses from the small table by the chair and slid them on her face. "I'm rather hopeful that there's a third, or maybe even a fourth, installment to the franchise." She quipped with a smirk, and a wink at Ryan, as she slid the glasses up on her nose and reached down for her bag.
After giving a heartfelt thanks to Crystal, Lily, Elika, and everyone else for their hospitality and picking Lukas up in her arms, his head resting tiredly on her shoulder, she met Andros' gaze again with a warm smile. "Ready whenever you are, just lead the way."

Atlantis inclined his head when Serrin let him know that she rather walked back to the Academy. He understood that part, her wanting to walk, for he often did it any ways, and mostly it was because it allowed him to think, and clear his mind. He nonetheless let her know that perhaps the two other councilors of the Mist Order were there, perhaps. He did not say that for any reasons in particular but hey perhaps it would comfort her as leas to know that the Academy wasn’t that empty during the weekend. Atlantis lingered there momentarily to see if the Calcamcil family needed a lift as well but he figured that they would just use the speeder they came here with.
Taking a deep breath, Atlantis looked at his brother briefly, without any trace of questioning to be quite honestly, Andros was a grown up man, that could take his own decisions and whatever he did in his spare time, that was between him and that other person, in this case, it was Ice who from the sound of it made it sound like indeed there would be further installments, as she had put it.
“Crystal…” Atlantis just murmured her name as he watched her go after indicating that she would be in the kitchen and the workout room. For that last part, she did look at him, but he was pretty sure that there really was something on her mind and not just her usual routine of punching the bag there. Something told him that she was still thinking about that matter that made Ares come here all the way from Honoghr. “I’ll be inside, if any one needs anything.” He finally said after a long silence from his part.
Stepping into the lakehouse, he closed his eyes momentarily and just knew that she was already in the workout room, punching the hell out of the punching bag, that was a given, but instead of joining her there, he actually made his way towards her room and straight into the fresher to run a bath for her. He knew that this was going to be a long shot, but he just knew that she was dealing with so many things, thinking about so many issues. It went from her family, to what he was going through, and by the Force he wasn’t going to let all of that ruin this day for her, at least for just this one day, this very evening. Lighting up some candles and dimming the lights of the fresher, he made his way outside after turning the water off and making sure that it was at correct temperature.
Finally, he made his way towards the kitchen and poured a glass of whatever wine was there, at least something that she would enjoy and he left that onto the counter there remembering to retrieve it later after his trip to the workout room. When he got inside, he stood behind the bag and held it steady looking at her. “Please, stop.” No, he wasn’t going to order her to do anything, and no he factually wasn’t afraid of her but he just knew that Crystal was an independent woman and hated being told what to do. “I know that I am not the best person to tell you this,” Atlantis really wasn’t at all, because after all, he was a lot like her, he would keep thinking about those issues and would keep on being restless. “But, can we at least try my way, and if that doesn’t work, we’ll come back here, and we can even spar it out. Please.”
Noticing at least that Crystal stopped punching the bag and was just looking at him dubiously, Atlantis stood aside from the bag and advanced in her direction to remove her gloves. Taking her hand in his, he gave her a gentle squeeze and walked out of the workout room, summoning that glass of wine in his hand and led her straight to her room, towards the fresher.
After a brief exchange, Atlantis was sitting in the bathtub leaning against one side and Crystal was leaning against him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and placed his chin on her shoulder. “Is it working at least, or should I mentally prepare myself to have my ass handed to me in the workout room?” Atlantis playfully asked before kissing her shoulder softly turning his head to look at her with a warm smile. He knew that this was one of the ways she did relax, after all she had always told him that nothing beat a warm bath after a long taxing day with a glass of wine on the side and some candles just illuminating her surroundings. Granted this wasn’t a taxing day at all, depending from which perspective, but he also knew that Crystal was just the kind of person to think a lot and she just needed to temporarily leave those unwanted thoughts outside of the bathroom.
