Crystal had obviously led her childhood friend to the ladies' room and obviously Lily had no problems in the make department at all but Crystal knew better than anyone the lawyer and if it took this to make Lily walk away by saying that her make up was messed up, then Crystal would use it without trouble. Currently she was there in the restroom and she had received a kick from Lily, to which she laughed and looked upwards before shaking her head. "Yes, I admit to seeing what you have seen also, I did see that Lana looked in Elika's direction when she said that she had her eyes on someone else obviously. But," Closing her mouth considering that Lily had said what she was about to say, Crystal nodded knowingly with a warm smile before sighing in relief. "Just let the events run its course, and besides Lana isn't really the type to shy away from saying the obvious from time to time. So stop playing matchmaker, baby girl." Crystal winked at her childhood friend and laughed softly before saying sincerely. "And your makeup is fine." Gesturing towards the door to tell Lily to lead the way whenever she was ready, Crystal closed her eyes momentarily to feel the ones she knew emotions.
Back in the restaurant, Lana was this time clearly looking at Elika considering that not only she was the one talking right now, but also she had to admit that she looked cute when she was explaining or asking questions. "I do trust you." Delaana said when Elika explained that Lily was just being Lily, that was an undeniable fact when the lawyer was outside of work. "At least when she is not in her office, otherwise half of the time, which I have seen a few times, it's really not something describable." Lana said jokingly and she even shuddered in effect, but her faint laughter showed that she was in fact only joking. "Although in her defense," Lana started to say as she picked up her flute to take a sip of her champagne, she briefly lowered her glass and looked at Elika with a knowing smile. "She was right about the staring, at least on my part, because I was in fact staring." She admitted as she returned her glass back on the table.
"But, I can try to stop if you are uncomfortable with that?" Lana offered sincerely, it was the best she could do right now, she couldn't quite promise something that she knew that she wouldn't be able to hold at all, but also considering that since Elika was doing most of the talking, the most polite thing to do was to look at the person that was speaking to Lana. "It's rewarding in a sense..." Lana said thoughtfully as she nibbled the side of her lower lip and looked at Franz when he suggested that Elika should have asked how Crystal was as a boss. "If you are that anxious to know, actually one of the easiest person I have come to deal with. Not really the type to look down on you, she puts everyone on equal standing and also communicates letting me know when or what she needs to be reminded of."
Lana looked back at Elika when she spoke about the weather and laughed softly before shaking her head. "With the presence of the mist, I am sure that we can all come to the agreement that it is often relatively the same, although I do have to ask, Lily said pool earlier, how does she even make that work or you or Crystal?" She asked dubiously before answering to the question she had been asked. "I often follow my own heart on whether or not I should go, but right now, no I have no definitive plans to leaving considering that I do like what I am seeing." Tilting her head slightly on the side with a dubious expression. "What about you? Crystal informed me earlier that you were working with the Vinoly Architectural firm, been there long?"
Lana looked at the waiter who said that he was going to return with the appetizer that Elika had ordered, and she smiled gratefully before inclining her head as a thanks. "Merci!" Although the other parts of what he had said, Lana did not quite catch the suggestions for the day because she was obviously more focused onto Elika than the Toydarian waiter.

Shrugging with a bemused smile after Franz proposes that he let Lily be in charge of his clothing selection with Elika assuming the role of make-up artist, Elika reaches over and pats Franz's hand as she tells him, "If that's what you want to do, pookie, I'm happy to oblige. Looking at Delaana while rolling her eyes with a skeptical smile accompanied by a slight tilt of her head to the side when Franz suggests that Elika is more interesting than he is, Elika tells them both, Not true at all, before waving a hand to indicate that Franz has no need to thank her for getting his therapist's name, then jokingly suggesting with an amused smile, If your courage doesn't rise to the occasion, you could always ask Lily to handle it for you pookie. Looking at Delaana with a smile, Elika does her best to defuse the earlier awkwardness by making a joke of it, quipping, We all know how much she enjoys playing matchmaker, don't we?"
Laughing when Delaana jokes about the difference between Lily when she is at work and Lily when she is not, Elika rests her chin atop the back of her hand, unconsciously turning towards Delaana and even leaning in a bit as she says, "I've heard the stories, but have also been advised not to visit her while she's working. Oh? is all that Elika manages to say when Delaana says that Lily had not been wrong when asserting that staring had been going on, her first thought being that Delaana had caught her glancing towards her on more than one occasion. Repeating in a confused tone, Oh? when Delaana reveals that she had also been staring, Elika cannot at first make sense of the comment since she had interpreted Delaaana's earlier remark about having her eye on someone incorrectly, but the pieces do click into place after a moment, causing Elika to say for the third time, Oh," this time in a happily surprised tone accompanied by a shy smile and a reddening of her cheeks as she looks down; the gesture not executed with the conscious intent to be coy, but rather to reorient herself now that Delaana has hinted that the attraction between them is possibly mutual.
Given enough time, Elika's mind would almost certainly be able to put a different spin on matters, her nearly chronic low self-esteem and earlier resolve to not let herself begin to hope that anything might blossom between her and Delaana equal to the task of allowing such self-deception, but Delaana does not give her mind the time, asking on the heels of what she has said if it makes Elika uncomfortable. Shaking her head and looking back up to meet Delaana's eyes, Elika smiles self-consciously as she manages to be moderately, however briefly, bold as she tells her, "No, you, um, don't have to stop, which is as close as she is able to come at the moment to admitting aloud what her body language has almost certainly already made clear. By keeping the conversational tone light, Delaana knowingly or unknowingly for the most part offsets Elika's natural nervousness, so much so that Elika manages to keep her side of the conversation up rather than withdraw as she might otherwise. Nodding with a smile when Delaana describes what it is like to work for Crystal, Elika says, That, um, sounds exactly like Crystal, she is one of the most unassuming people I've ever known. Taking a sip of her champagne as Delaana asks how it is they can enjoy a pool with Umgul's omnipresent mist, Elika sets her flute down to answer, Oh, we, um, have a machine that can clear it, the mist I mean, so that the sun can, you know, come through. Laughing at her probably less than clear explanation, Elika says, It will make more sense after you see it for yourself, um, when you, you know, um, come over. Lifting her hand, thumb keeping her sleeve in place, to adjust the set of her spectacles with a bashful smile when Delaana says that she has no immediate plans to relocate given that she likes what she is seeing, Elika blushes as she looks at her champagne flute while telling her, I'm glad, looking up and into Delaana's eyes briefly as she clarifies, That you won't be going anytime soon I mean," laughing nervously at herself for her inability to express herself with more eloquence as much as for chickening out on adding her reasons for being glad.
Taking her napkin from beside her plate to have something to do with her hands, Elika unfolds and refolds it as, answering Delaana's question about how long she has been with Vinoly Architectural, she says, "Almost two years now? Glancing up and doing some quick mental calculation, Elika nods with a bemused smile as she says more certainly, About two years. I, um, moved here when they offered me the position. From Naboo. I was with a different firm there. Um, on Naboo, where I did my internship. At the other firm. Laughing at herself with a shake of her head, Elika takes a deep breath and then sips her champagne, sounding slightly more collected and coherent as she sets her chin atop her hand and asks Delaana, So, um, did you move to Umgul from Hapes? Or did you see some other places in the galaxy before coming here?"

Franz was about to say something to Lochan, but he figured that it was inappropriate right now and he clearly did not even want to go into the inappropriate zone. "Tragedy or not, well I am just fortunate to be even in such beautiful company compared to the others who would wish to be in my place." Franz said with an amused grin, there was a very big truth there on both sides, and like Elika had said yesterday back at the dinner, he knew that fact to be true. Franz admitted they all had their charms but it wasn't his place to put a claim on whoever especially when they were taken, well not all of them, but still he did mean it earlier, they were all like sisters to him, at least three of them and Lana might or might not be added to that said list soon. That was all up to both Delaana and Elikapeka and how they would work out.
Either way for now, he listened attentively to the Toydarian about today's special, and he still had no idea which main dish he was going to pick for later, at least he still had the appetizer to think about. Franz smiled gratefully at the waiter and watched him leave before looking at Elika with an amused smile. "It is, definitely, although put that after or whenever you have the time with both Crystal and Lily requesting a walk in wardrobe." Franz said playfully before shaking his head, his makeover could come after or in-between, he did not care really, as far he was concerned, Elika and Lily had after all two weeks to make that thing happen so to speak.
Well... Considering that how the conversation and Lana's obvious looks turned mainly on Elika, Franz believed that his statement was true, Elika was far more interesting than him anyways. What was he going to say to that? He was a Jedi, cool, he did not look like it, even awesome and now he was a Jedi requesting for an overall makeover. "That would be weird, if I asked Lily to handle that, imagine what Ayodele would think? That I am too chicken to ask myself that I have to get a woman to ask for me?" Franz made a face at that before smiling only to say that he was really just joking. Right now though, he wasn't in a rush to ask anything from his therapist at all. Obviously he did not want to have that sense of abandonment again, but that was a story for another time and well he was already getting too much ahead of himself. Not everything was a happy ending for him anyways, at least when it came to him.
Franz was hiding a smile currently as he clearly saw that not only Lana had stated her attraction quite clearly but Elika finally got it also, now that was something that Lily would be enjoying to see so to speak. Franz just decided to remain silent even if Lana did answer his question about Crystal being a boss and he pretty much agreed with what Elika was saying. "Obviously one of those traits why Model Face fell for her also." Franz mused, for knowing Atlantis very personally, to his cousin, it wasn't just the looks so to speak, it was the personality and everything that made the person. "Thank you for replying." He said to Lana with a warm smile before nodding as he glanced at Elika when it came to the mist. "Which will be tomorrow, right? So," Looking back at Lana with a warm smile, Franz added on. "Sunglasses and suncream are a must have."

"Correction, I only do it for people I care about." Winking at baby girl, I am sure that she knows me that much anyways that I do play matchmaker to those that have a meaning my life, otherwise the others, what do I really care about them really ... Picking up my bag and placing the strap onto my shoulder, I nevertheless am glad to know that Crystal is fine with the fact that one of their closest friends ends up seeing her PA. Baby girl did not explicitly say it but I am sure that if Crystal did have a problem with that, she would have said something by now. Maybe not say, but show, and I rarely miss a beat anyways.
Walking towards the exit of the restroom, I nudge baby girl's shoulder with mine teasingly before saying with an amused grin. "It was already fine before you dragged me away from there." Giggling softly and walking back towards our table, I notice that both gorgeous and the Hapan bombshell are clearly really looking at one another. I stand there afar for a few moments and smile faintly before hooking my arm to baby girl's. "So I might have pushed it a little, but really ..." I am sure that baby girl will understand anyways what I mean and I shrug nonchalantly clearly happy in a sense. Sure it's too early to tell or say anything but, it is still a start.
"And bikini." I say with a faint laughter hearing pookie's last few words before glancing at the bombshell with a playful wink and then back at gorgeous with a knowing warm smile. Finally I put my bag down next to my seat and sit back down tucking some of my hair behind my ear. "I still believe that you," Glancing at Lana with grin since I have noticed that she hasn't switched yet. "And Crystal should switch places, so that you two can talk without that much interruptions?" It's just a suggestion really, after they can do whatever baby girl and the bombshell want but it would be easier no? Clearly I am just helping out here ...
Picking up my flute again to take a sip of the champagne, I savor the moment as a little personal celebration of mine because, I so called it. So yay me!

"It's not for the faint hearted." Lana said jokingly about visiting Lily while the lawyer was at work. How could she really put that clearly. "I am sure that you know Andros." It was a rhetorical statement, of course Elika would know the Vice-Governor very well, he was actually the type of man that would prefer avoiding to meet people one on one at his office unless it was necessary. Lana also remembered Crystal telling her yesterday to leave that said file to his secretary if he was busy, it was something that Crystal usually never said and Lana was always instructed to hand the file to Andros personally. "Let's just say that the lawyer is very much like the Vice-Governor without the hardened features while at work." Having said her piece about the Attorney General, and having seen first hand the differences when Lily was and wasn't at work, Lana left it at that especially that now she was seeing Elika blushing again which she really found cute and very endearing.
Lana was both grateful and relieved to see that the attraction was definitely mutual and now she really was looking forward to spend more time with the three higher ups so to speak tomorrow, well she was really more looking forward to spend more time with Elika and get to know her better. "I suppose that I shall see and understand tomorrow indeed." Lana said softly with a warm smile added with a wink in Elika's direction before glancing at Franz who suggested that she brought sunglasses and suncream tomorrow also. "Duly noted, thanks." Lana added with a grateful and friendly smile before hearing that familiar voice again that belonged to Lily. Lana smiled and looked in Crystal's direction who seemed to be looking upwards with an amused expression on her features before looking at Lana with a noticeable blink to indicate that Crystal did not mind the switch at all.
"We definitely should switch before we end up killing the lawyer with the suspense." Crystal said teasingly and playfully before glancing knowingly at Elika with a supportive smile, clearly she was glad for her friend. Really though it wasn't the fact that Lana was her PA that should be stopping anyone of them to potentially be seeing one another. After all Lily was already seeing her half brother and even if she found that weird at first, she got over that very quickly because her childhood friend's feelings were more important for her than her own feelings, and Elika was no different to that. Gesturing to Lana to take her former seat, Crystal picked up her flute from the table and switched with Lana soon enough to sit down again after putting her bag down. "So tell me, Pookie, should we find your therapist and invite her also tomorrow?" Crystal asked teasingly before glancing at Lily with a playful expression. "She can make that happen if you want..." Obviously Crystal was trying to remove every bits of attention from Elika and Lana right now, and instead she was trying to get Lily to be more focused on Franz's case right now...
Gladly switching seats with Crystal, Lana sat down and was now relatively closer to Elika, she remembered her previous statements but also question, so she picked up the topic again from there. "I was in Christophsis before actually landing here." Lana replied with another smile of hers. "If it's not too much to ask, what made you decide to move here from Naboo?" Lana asked dubiously, after all with what she actually found out earlier that Andros only trusted Elika to complete his raceways project, and also she had heard that the Mist Order Academy was actually created by the Architect right here in front of her, Lana was very sure that a lot were requiring Elika's expertise so to speak and would want her in their firm either on Naboo or anywhere else really.

Developments. Conclusive.Eekeb snorts an incredulous laugh after the woman in a lab coat finishes speaking, shaking his head as he smacks a fist on the table and snarls, "What I want is to know why Vyridian's name is not in papers! You think you can get me to stay quiet with your smiles and your caf? I leave here and go to press! You want justice? Stop pretending UPD doesn't know what happened, stop wasting my time, and go arrest Vice Governor!" Crossing his arms over his chest again, the red Nikto glares at the woman, expecting that she will now shift her tactics to intimidation. Of the sixty five beings that Nuala and Nazani contact to ask whether they had noticed Helaine around the time of the murders at Sike's estate, forty eight recall seeing Miss Orlov throughout the evening and feel positive she was not absent at any time; twelve report that while they cannot be absolutely sure that Miss Orlov was present at the time of the killings as they were engaged in conversation with other guests during the time frame in question, they find it doubtful that Miss Orlov was absent at any time due to the fact she had always been seen engaged with other guests and would be unlikely to leave her own party; and five guests, who are unaware their memories had been tampered with, state with absolute certainty that they were part of a group speaking with Miss Orlov during the time frame in question, their certainty due to the fact that a scheduled speaker for one of the shelters that donations from the benefit dinner would help was asked to address the guests during the same span of time.

Arching an eyebrow skeptically when Franz says that he definitely wants to go through with his idea of having a makeover even though he has admitted the idea is one made in jest, Elikapeka says with an amused smile, "Alright pookie, just remember to revert to the old you before you get back to your learners. Like you said, you don't want to scare them all or scar them for life, then pats his hand after he suggests that calling on Lily would make him look like a chicken, crinkling her nose as she tells him, I was mostly joking, I don't doubt for a moment that your courage is equal to the task," and then drops the subject; not wanting to press the idea even though she would be absolutely delighted and happy for him if he were to find someone as she is well aware of how it can take a long time for someone to feel ready to move on after the end of a relationship.
Laughing as she nods in agreement with Delaana's assessment about Lily at work not being something for the faint of heart, Elika nods when asked if she knows Andros, smiling a bit skeptically when Delaana compares him to Lily. "You'd be the better judge of that, Elika says, beginning to reach over to pat Delaana's hand since she often touches those she is speaking with when she is comfortable with them, but picks up her champagne flute instead when her courage fails her at the last minute. I've never seen Lily at work, Elika explains after taking a sip of her champagne, and Andros is . . . different with me than I imagine he is with most others since we've known one another for so long now."
Looking, a bit reluctantly, away from Delaana when Lily and Crystal return, Elika frowns in wholly theatrical annoyance when Lily suggests that Delaana and Crystal change seats, the pleased smile that surfaces almost immediately making it clear that she is in fact quite happy with the suggestion. Shaking her head with an amused smile after Crystal tells Franz that Lily would be more than willing to play matchmaker for him, Elika tells her, "Our Pookie is perfectly capable of making what he wants to happen happen if he decides that making it happen is what he wants to happen hon', and then looks over at Lily with an eyebrow arched playfully in warning, So you will just have to exercise some restraint for once beautiful."
Knees and torso turned towards Delaana, Elika absently twists a strand of her red hair around a finger with a smile as she says, "Christophsis? That's the planet with the crystalline landscape, right? Was it as beautiful as it sounds? Answering the question about what made her decide to relocate to Umgul, Elika stops playing with her hair when she realizes she is doing so, resting her hand beneath her chin instead as she explains with a shrug, Vinoly made the most attractive offer, then expands on the somewhat bland and brief answer, They are one of the few firms that are widely known and accept contracts throughout the universe, and I wanted to work somewhere that would provide a variety of opportunities to explore different architectural styles. Pursing her lips in thought, tilting her head to the side as she thinks about the matter further, Elika adds, I also wanted to work with beings from all kinds of cultures, and working for a firm like Vinoly that has such a wide variety of clients was a way to have those kinds of opportunities to learn about other cultures and . . . laughing, Elika crinkles her nose and says, and I'm babbling, sorry. Her thumb keeping her sleeve in place, Elika starts to pat Delaana's hand but instead only gestures towards her as she asks, So, um, do you have any family here on Umgul? Or are they all back on Hapes?"
23rd Precinct
Nazani, hands behind her head as she massages her neck, nods when Nuala informs her of the results of her latest conversation with a guest at the benefit dinner, telling her, "Not surprising at this point. We probably could have stopped after the fortieth comm, but at least no one can say we weren't thorough. Nodding when the mohawked Ranger says she will let the Jedi know about what they have learned, Nazani stands to walk around to stretch her legs and hopefully regain sensation in her bum, turning when Nuala asks about her partner. Taking her datapad from the breast pocket of her suit coat to check if Nemes has sent her any messages, Nazani shakes her head, Nothing yet."
As though on cue, Nemes enters the room and drops wearily into a chair, dropping a datapad on the table as he loosens his tie and says, "I know way more about the OC world here on Umgul than I really want to know now, but I'm not sure any of it pertains to Sike's death. The only other outfits here are smaller than his, or involved in other activities. The Rodian reaches up to scratch behind an antennae as he says, Which doesn't mean they can't have ambitions, of course, so I've asked my friends in the OC unit to put some feelers out and see if they can see if there is any signs that one or more of the organizations is looking to move up. Our best bet at this point is probably to see if we can't arrange to meet with Sike's lieutenants. They're bound to have a better feel for whether or not another organization was involved, and are probably conducting their own investigation already."

Franz smirked as he turned his hand so that he could catch Elika's hand to give it a faint squeeze, just because... "I'll remember that." He told her with an amused grin really thinking that he was probably going to mayhaps regret that, but it wasn't bothersome to him so to speak because it was fun. Truth be told, even if he was joking to begin with about the makeover, accepting it in the end made him feel much more in touch with his former self and he was quite glad about that. Now though the matter concerned his own therapist and Lily potentially asking on his behalf, even though Elika was mostly joking, Franz still looked at her very suspiciously. "Yes, but considering this is Lily we are talking about, she is very capable of doing that. Nothing seems to discourage her!" Franz whined jokingly before laughing softly before hearing that Lily was actually quite like Andros in her work setting.
"Ya know, I find it hard to visualize Lily to be like Andros in a way..." Franz said thoughtfully to no one in particular right now. He of course knew Andros better than Lily, and he knew how the younger Vyridian could be with people he clearly did not care about, but now that Franz thought about it, he guessed he could understand what Lana meant then and there especially with seeing a certain side of Lily yesterday when it came to Helaine... "But it doesn't mean I find that hard to believe." Franz said with a faint smile considering that Lily was dating his cousin and Franz knew that Ryan went for a certain personality type so to speak.
Speaking of Lily, there she was with Crystal too after the so-called make up problem, but he wasn't even going to say anything about that considering what Crystal said to him privately earlier. He was just smiling warmly when Lily along with Crystal suggest that the CFO and the PA actually do switched places, which they did and he was very sure that Elika would be happy about that considering that everything now was just clear that Delaana did say in an implicit way he guessed that she was attracted to Elika. Turning his attention away from Elika and Lana when he heard Crystal addressing him, Franz looked at her and shook his head quickly. Thankfully though Elika was there to say what he wanted to say to begin with so to speak. "I will find her and ask her whenever the occasion arises." Franz said with a decisive nod, he did not quite say what he would do explicitly but anything to divert the attention from that matter so to speak.
Deciding to turn the table this time in Lily but also Crystal's direction, he looked at the two of them perplexedly. "Are my cousins even going to be there, or are you still decided to make that day an all girls day with me as the only guy ready to be traumatized all day long?" Franz asked playfully before looking at Lily in particular before pursing his lips. "You never know, you might find yourself with a medical emergency again, no?"

"Ah, that, with a smile and shake of her head as though she is not surprised by his anger or concerned about what he believes. There have been some developments in the investigation since you gave your statement. The Vice Governor has been cleared of any wrong doing. The investigators have learned that the assailant either used their Force ability or something like a holoshroud or holographic disguise matrix to implicate one of the Vyridian twins. Our investigators have also confirmed that both Vyridian twins were elsewhere, in the presence of several reliable witnesses, at the time of the assault. Opening her hands in front of her as though presenting the Nikto with the truth, Madieke says, It is our belief that you could possibly help us confirm the true identity of the killer. What I'd like to do is teach you a few memory retrieval techniques, and then help you use them to reconstruct what you saw in greater detail than you may realize you recall." Eekeb stares silently at the woman for a moment after she finishes speaking before he shakes his head and mutters a curse in his native tongue. "Unbelievable, the red Nikto says with a chuckle, rubbing his eyes as he asks the woman, You expect me to believe these lies? I know what I saw. I know true killer's identity. You want to try and cover up truth? Go ahead. I not help you with your lies though. Slamming a first on the table, Eekeb growls, I go to press, tell whole world the real truth. See how good your lies work then. Snorting a laugh, Eekeb waves a hand to dismiss the woman, Go, go and and bring in the bad cop now. Let them try to intimidate me into being quiet so I can laugh at them too and then leave. Go." _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The surveillance teams assigned to Arezou and Klivian will have an eventful afternoon, both the female Weequay and her Esselian associate leaving their homes to meet one another and three other individuals that, if the UPD is resourceful enough, might be identified later as an estate lawyer and two corporate lawyers at a restaurant where they are shown to a private room. Unless the surveillance team had been able to move quickly enough to have obtained a warrant permitting them to bug the restaurant, and to also correctly anticipate the room the meeting would occur in, the team will not be privy to what the group discusses during the meeting itself, and will know only that the meeting took place. The meeting would not, in fact, tell the UPD much that is not already known or suspected. Arezou and Klivian spend the majority of their time discussing the future management of Sike's estate and his business holdings. The Bothan, proving to have had as much foresight for the planning of his eventual death as he did for managing his affairs in life, had left a plan for distributing control of his empire evenly between his lieutenants, and in such a way that their involvement would be as obfuscated by a maze of agents and intermediaries as his own had been. After the lawyers leave, Arezou and Klivian discuss their future plans among themselves, the major topic being how to protect themselves from the Vice Governor should he try to strike them down as they believe he had struck Sike down based on what Eekeb and Strago reported. That the news of Vyridian's involvement was kept from coming to light is not surprising to either Arezou or Klivian, their belief being that Vyridian more likely than not has the tacit approval of Umgul's law enforcement community if not the actual authorization from higher powers than those his office possesses. Arezou and Klivian ultimately decide to, in light of the fact Vyridian is a Force user, employ the services of the twins at the Enchanted Florist to retain at least four Force users of their own to act as bodyguards so that they can increase their protection as soon as possible. Well aware that they are likely to be under surveillance, Arezou and Klivian decide to make their request to the twins via encrypted holonet messages that will be sent by channels they can be reasonably certain are not being watched or monitored given how well concealed their place in Sike's organization has been kept. |

Gorgeous' pretend annoyance right there after I have suggested that baby girl and the bombshell do switch place, does not phase, actually I do not believe that gorgeous is truly annoyed by my suggestion which is why I keep looking at her with a knowing grin on the corner of my lips and my grin turns into a full smile when I clearly notice that she is rather pleased than annoyed. Thought so, Winking at her playfully and knowingly, I even raise my flute as a toast as if to tell her 'you're welcome' until my attention is diverted in Pookie's direction about a certain matter that concerns him, that I should potentially be taking care of. Putting my flute down after taking a sip, I open my mouth to say something or at least I am about to say something but gorgeous just had to tell me to show some restraint which causes me to look at her with a very serious grieving expression, although I am just joking and it clearly shows throughout my so called rant. "Gorgeous, you are killing me, I am on a roll here, do not kill my mojo!"
Giggling on the spot before rolling my eyes playfully, I look at Pookie who says that he is going to take care of his therapist matter, good for him but why is he being vague right now? "Ask her what exactly, Pookie?" Looking at him with a questioning expression, I soon wave my hand to let him know that I do not necessarily need to know if he doesn't want to tell and obviously he doesn't want to tell since he is going on about whether Lover Boy and Hot Stuff are going to be there tomorrow and he even has to bring up a potential medical emergency of mine. "Pookie, just so you know, you bring up my medical emergency again and I am going to find Cosimo and ask to see Ayodele personally." I threaten him quite seriously, I even have a serious expression on my features to show that I am not kidding around, actually I am not kidding around but soon enough I do smile because I do have a little leverage right there. Winking at him before picking up my flute once more, I take another sip of my drink and I cannot help but to glance briefly in Elika and Lana's direction.
I leave that matter aside now, considering that my job has been done so to speak, I look at Pookie again with a warm smile. "That will be up to you, whether you want your cousins there or not Pookie." I happen to think that it will be his choice entirely since I would feel absolutely bad in a way if Atlantis and Ryan are there and he is actually all alone so to speak, there is no way he is going to be the seventh wheel, nuh uh. "I was thinking earlier, you guys are up for a bbq tomorrow while we are by the pool?"

Returning to the table with a tray bearing the Svivreni treat, an aromatically scented and artfully arranged collection of seasoned enyak bobs served on a bed of teerlop-zikody, Lochan smiles as he flys over the center of the table and lays the dish down with a flourish. Noting the new seating arrangements, the absence of the earlier tension he had observed, and the way that Elikapeka and Delaana are looking at one another, the Toydarian gives Ljiljana a knowing wink to subtly and silently congratulate her on her apparently quite successful matchmaking efforts. As he flys gracefully around the table to place a plate in front of each of his guests, the tiny blue-skinned Toydarian asks, "Are you all ready to order, or will you be needing more time to make your decisions? Seeing that the champagne is now nearly gone, Lochan strokes his majestic mustache and asks, Can I get anyone anything else to drink?"

Lost cause. Free advice. Any Reason.Eekeb stares silently at the woman for a moment after she finishes speaking before he shakes his head and mutters a curse in his native tongue. "Unbelievable, the red Nikto says with a chuckle, rubbing his eyes as he asks the woman, You expect me to believe these lies? I know what I saw. I know true killer's identity. You want to try and cover up truth? Go ahead. I not help you with your lies though. Slamming a first on the table, Eekeb growls, I go to press, tell whole world the real truth. See how good your lies work then. Snorting a laugh, Eekeb waves a hand to dismiss the woman, Go, go and and bring in the bad cop now. Let them try to intimidate me into being quiet so I can laugh at them too and then leave. Go."
Smiling disappointedly, Madieke says, "There is no bad cop Mr. Orainn. Just me. If you are not willing to help us find the real killer, or to listen to reason where the facts are concerned, that's all on you. Standing up as though preparing to leave, Madieke pauses and then says, Before you go, let me give you some free advice. Going public with an accusation like the one you say you're going to make would constitute defamation, which is a criminal charge. Madieke is flat out lying, since Orainn believes what he will say the intentional falsity required for a defamation suit does not exist, but hopefully the Nikto doesn't know that. Think very carefully about whether you find it so impossible to believe there is another valid interpretation of what you think you saw before you risk finding yourself on the wrong end of a defamation case, Madieke says before walking to the door and opening it as she says, Thank you again for your time Mr. Orainn."As though on cue, Nemes enters the room and drops wearily into a chair, dropping a datapad on the table as he loosens his tie and says, "I know way more about the OC world here on Umgul than I really want to know now, but I'm not sure any of it pertains to Sike's death. The only other outfits here are smaller than his, or involved in other activities. The Rodian reaches up to scratch behind an antennae as he says, Which doesn't mean they can't have ambitions, of course, so I've asked my friends in the OC unit to put some feelers out and see if they can see if there is any signs that one or more of the organizations is looking to move up. Our best bet at this point is probably to see if we can't arrange to meet with Sike's lieutenants. They're bound to have a better feel for whether or not another organization was involved, and are probably conducting their own investigation already."

Whatever might have been going on between Franz, Lily and Crystal, Lana had really no precise idea, of course she did hear some snippets of the conversation but really she wasn't that focused onto that. If she tried to recall some of the things that had been said the day before and now, she would have understood that Franz was in fact a member of the Mist Order and that the cousins he was referring to were none other than both Crystal's and Lily's boyfriends. Maybe she could revisit that matter later, if she remembered to do so but... Snapping out of her ongoing thoughts really and catching just in time the lawyer's threat to the Jedi, Lana had the perfect example right now on how really Lily was at work but it should be multiplied by three or something, depending on the person the AG was facing. But that was something she really wasn't that focused on because she was paying more attention to what Elika was telling her. Lana had faced herself entirely in the architect's direction and had noticed a few times that she was about to reach for Lana's hand but that never came. "It was beautiful, you should check it out sometime, you may love it." Lana said softly before pursing her lips briefly and without really asking for permission, since she obviously did not, Lana tucked that loose strand of hair behind Elika's ear if she was even successful at that and she could have added on something along the lines that Elika was beautiful and shouldn't even allow her hair to obstruct her features because that was a shame. But Lana did not quite get there instead she smiled warmly and even winked once before thinking about that question. Right family.
"Last time I have checked, they were all still back on Hapes..." Lana said with a faint shrug, since obviously they did not approve of her lifestyle so to speak, she wasn't too ready to speak about that, but she smiled nonetheless and felt the need to actually correct something. "You don't have to apologize for babbling, I do find it cute to be honest with you." Lana left it at that since obviously she had noticed from the corner of her eyes that the Toydarian was returning with their appetizer and she reluctantly turned her body again to face the table but again, she did not hear a single thing that the waiter had asked...
Crystal had pursed her lips when Elika had said that Franz was quite capable to even approach his therapist, Crystal believed that, it was just the fact that Lily being Lily would always find a way one way or the other, like now when it came to Franz speaking about that medical emergency. Crystal laughed softly and shook her head before looking upwards playfully. "Careful with what you tell her." Crystal playfully warned Franz and even Elika a little so to speak but considering that she seemed more focused on Crystal's PA right now, she just let that sentence apply to Franz for the time being. Leaving that matter aside for now, that Franz would actually be the deciding factor on whether Ryan and Atlantis would be there tomorrow, Crystal was certain that it had something to do with whether Franz managed or not to invite Ayodele... "And sure for the barbecue tomorrow, baby girl."
Crystal leaned back briefly as the Toydarian placed the appetizer in front of her and she looked at Lochan with a thoughtful expression. Knowing what Lana actually liked, and also knowing what Elika liked, Crystal glanced at Franz dubiously wondering if he was going to drink further but then her attention returned to Lily. "White for you?" Crystal asked dubiously before glancing at Lana and Elika. "Blossom wine and Hapan gold wine for you two right?" She added on before noticing that Lana was smiling sheepishly somehow.
"Wh-? Oh right, yes, just a glass of gold wine for me, please." Lana said with a grateful and apologetic smile to Lochan.
"White wine for me and the other brunette." Crystal said thoughtfully since after all she knew Lily by heart and she often went for the white wine if the sharing a bottle did not happen, although she looked at everyone and no one in particular. "Unless you all want to share a bottle of something and we can talk about it and order it at the same time as our main course?" Crystal suggested dubiously.

Only because she is self-conscious to a fault is Elikapeka able to remind herself to at least try and be mindful of the fact she and Delaana are not alone, the trait allowing her to follow, to some extent, what is being said around them rather than focusing solely on the conversation between her and Delaana. Returning the squeeze that Franz gives her hand when pointing out how difficult it is to discourage Lily when she has set her mind on something, Elika reluctantly looks away from Delaana to smile at Franz as she nods in agreement and reminds him, "Relentless, remember? Taking her hand from Franz's to lift it along with her other hand, thumbs keeping her sleeves in place, as though surrendering, Elika laughs when Lily suggests that her mojo might be endangered, telling her with a smile, No more killing your mojo beautiful, I promise."
Looking back towards Delaana when she begins to answer Elika's question about Christophsis, Elika tenses up slightly as Delaana reaches a hand out towards her, but keeps herself from drawing back. Blushing, with a coquettish smile that reveals that her brief stiffening was more habitual than indicative of any displeasure at the thought of being touched by Delaana, Elika glances down after Delaana has tucked an errant strand of hair behind Elika's ear, looking back into Delaana's eyes afterwards as she clears her throat and only just manages to remember how to string words together meaningfully enough to say, "I'm, um, sure I would. Love it. Christophsis, that is. Her cheek still feels warm when Elika rests it against her right hand and leans forward towards Delaana as she listens to her answer the question about her family; the brief answer seeming to indicate a degree of disconnect or lack of communication between Delaana and her family. Assuming from the quick way Delaana moves away from the subject of family that it is not one she would want to dwell on, Elika makes a note not to ask about it in future as she laughs when Delaana says she finds Elika's tendency to babble cute, crinkling her nose as, without thinking about it enough that she can suppress the impulse, she reaches over to touch Delaana's upper arm with the tips of her fingers as she says, That's good, because, um, I can definitely do it a lot. The babbling. At times, I mean. Not, you know, all the time or anything. That could get annoying. The babbling all the time."
Sitting up straight, a bit glad for the fact their waiter returns in time to stop her from going on and on even though it means interrupting the conversation she had been having with Delaana, Elika tries unsuccessfully to remember any of the specials he had mentioned earlier, nodding gratefully when Crystal suggests Blossom wine for her since it is at least one less thing she needs to try and focus on, telling Lochan, "A glass of the Blossom wine for me, please. Oh, Elika adds, taking the easy way out of making an order for her main course by taking a chance in saying, and I'll have the, um, first special you mentioned? Nodding as though sure of her order even though she has no idea what she just ordered, Elika repeats, The first one, please. Thank you. Definitely not wanting to risk getting tipsy since she has such a low tolerance for alcohol and has already had a glass of champagne, Elika smiles as she tells Crystal, Just, um, the one glass for me hon', but if you all want to split a bottle of something, don't let that stop you."
23rd Precinct
Nemes tilts his head to the side as though considering Nuala's suggestion, then asks, "Shouldn't we run it by Aninh first? She's the boss, right?"
Nazani, lips pursed in thought, points out, "We're a team, and she's busy. Deciding she would rather risk pissing Aninh off than sit around doing nothing, the curvy Lorrdian tells Durnin, I'm in," then looks at Nemes and gives him a look she is sure he will understand from the long time they have been partners.
Sighing, recognizing the look very well since he is familiar with it, Nemes straightens his tie and says, "Fine, we're in. Standing up and taking his comlink from his pocket, the Rodian says, I'll find out where we're going on the way to our airspeeder. Looking over at Nuala, he asks, You riding with us, or taking your swoop? After getting in contact with the surveillance teams following Arezou and Klivian on the way to the precinct's side entrance, Nemes tells Nazani and Nuala, We're in luck, they're both having a cozy little get together with some suits that our guys are trying to ID now at a posh little restaurant called, get this, he makes quotation marks in the air, Grey Mist. Sounds real fancy. I'm glad I'm wearing my good suit today."

Franz nodded clearly agreeing with Elika on how she described the lawyer. Lily was indeed relentless and still he couldn't really tell to which point she was willing to go... And that scared him, so to speak. It really did! Again Model Face had warned him about Lily and he did not believe that before, and now he was being hit by it, so to speak, like a ton of durasteel. Franz was mute right now and he was looking at Lily with wide eyes and he even blinked a few times clearly speechless.
And now he was even regretting to having said something about Lily's medical emergency because just like he should have expected it, she had the perfect comeback. "No!" Franz looked at Lily pleadingly and gulped because he was certain that she would do what she had threatened to do without a doubt at all, he could clearly see that on her expression. "I won't bring it up again, ever, I promise." Franz quickly said before gulping again and taking a deep breath.
Now apparently it was up to him whether Atlantis and Ryan would be there tomorrow and he furrowed his eyebrows wondering what that meant, he was no mind reader and he clearly did not read that greatly between the lines. "What exactly are the conditions to them being there, tomorrow?" Franz asked just to make sure and for the time being he was thankful that the Toydarian waiter had come back since it would allow him to breathe for a few until Franz got grilled away by the lawyer.
"I'll just have some water please, and the Fambaa Delight also for later." Franz said with a wide smile before glancing at Crystal and considering that he wasn't even going to drink now besides the glass of bubbly he just had, he wasn't going to take any other alcoholic beverage. "Oh and medium rare, please." Since Franz remembered that it was going to be cooked at his own desire, he guessed he would go for that. Right now though, he was inwardly amused by the fact that Lana and Elika seemed to be in their own little world and well there was no way he was even going to say anything about that, also he just kept a straight face on his features but he did lean in Elika's direction and lowered his tone to let her know what she had actually picked. "Baked dru'un slices in fish sauce, that's your meal, Peka." Inclining his head and smiling knowingly, Franz shut himself up again to let the others place in their orders.

Meeting up with the detectives outside the restaurant when they have all arrived, Nuala brushes a hand through her small orange and blonde mohawk as she asks them, "How do you guys want to handle this? Should we just play it by ear, or pick someone to do all the talking?"

Winking playfully and blowing a kiss in gorgeous' direction when she tells me that she is no longer going to kill my mojo for the time being, I keep on looking at gorgeous and the Hapan bombshell, and it really looks like they are hitting it off just great. First there is the talking then the touching, and then ... Smirking inwardly at my thoughts, I focus my attention back onto pookie who promises to not bring up my medical emergency again before asking what the conditions are to having his cousins there. "Look at it this way, Pookie," I start to tell him after downing the rest of my champagne and putting my flute down on the table. "If you do manage to invite Ayodele tomorrow, then yes your cousins will be there, I am sure, if not then you'll be traumatized continuously. So your choice."
Noticing that Lochan is coming back with our appetizers and that he is giving me a knowing wink, I wink back at him with a faint smile on the corner of my lips before thinking about what I would actually want afterwards, the drink issue is quickly settled in my opinion, besides baby girl knows me that much, and I shake my head to deny that bottle. "A glass of white wine will be fine." I inform baby girl but also the sassy waiter equally before drumming my fingertips on the table. "I will also take your chef's version of the famous filet of Coslen Dantoinal, thanks."
Leaning back against my seat for the time being, I actually wait for the others to put in their order before starting up with my appetizer, for the time being, I put my napkin back into my lap and glance at baby girl with a meaningful glance but I soon smile to thank her for even putting in my drink order in but there is something else that is still pending, and I only got the reply from baby girl so looking at both Elika and Lana, I ask dubiously. "Tomorrow, you two are okay with barbecue? Or did you have something else in mind?" Obviously I have an amused expression on my features and I really do not blame the both of them for even being in their own little world right now. They look so cute together ...

Delaana had that constant smile on her features, she never hesitated to look straight into Elika's eyes whenever she was speaking. Lana found Elika blushing cute also, and also Lana had nibbled faintly her lower lip when she felt Elika's fingertips on her upper arm. She guessed that she would actually prefer to keep on talking with Elika but she also had to remember that they were also currently surrounded and it was somehow impolite for now, so when she was facing the table again did she look at the Toydarian waiter just to let him know in a way that she was fine with the gold wine although when it came to the main dish, she really had no clue what his suggestions were earlier, and it also appeared at least to her that Elika had no idea as well, thankfully though Lily and Franz had spoken first to give their choices. "I'll take the same thing as him," Lana gestured in Franz's direction about the Fambaa Delight. "Medium rare as well along with just the glass of gold wine. Thanks." Lana said with a friendly tone before taking a deep breath clearly she should be much more in touch with what was happening around her, right?
Crystal was scratching the tip of her nose due to the fact that she was a little amused. She did not blame Elika and Lana at all when she thought about it, and they really seemed to have hit it off just fine. At least this was a great start. When Elika addressed her, Crystal shook her head slightly with a faint smile, there was no way they were going to get a bottle then, so she just settled for her glass of white wine. "Glass of white wine for me, no bottle necessary obviously and for later baked dru'un slices in fish sauce, please." Crystal told Lochan with a warm smile before glancing at the appetizers in the middle of the table. "Thank you for the appetizers." She told him gratefully as she grabbed the napkin and placed it on her lap before listening to the ongoing exchanges between Franz and Lily with an amused expression. "During the two weeks Pookie is going to spend with us more or less, I think he is definitely no longer going to like the lawyer in you baby girl." Crystal said teasingly before rolling her eyes playfully and took one of the treat and placed it in her plate.
Noticing that Lily was looking at her, Crystal blinked once to acknowledge it before smiling warmly and even nudging her childhood friend's shoulder with her own. "Don't mention it."
At Lily's question, Lana looked at her somewhat dubiously and even tilted her head on the side before blushing faintly, obviously again she had missed that question when it was asked to begin with because she was much more focused onto Elika... "Yes, for the barbecue, I don't mind, but what time should I actually show up? Oh and I have no idea where you live, so I will need the directions...?"

Strago, dozy and fuzzy headed from the painkillers he was prescribed for his injuries, shifts around in his seat as he waits to find out why he was brought back into the UPD station since he has forgotten what he was told when asked to come back in. The green Nikto looks more tired than anything, though he does begin to show some signs of impatience as time goes on. |

Trying not to laugh at Franz's theartrical display of fear for Lily, Elikapeka smiles as she turns towards Delaana and leans in closer to tell her in a hushed tone, "It looks like work isn't the only place she can inspire fear, and then points towards the plate their waiter had placed in front of Delaana as she asks, Did you want some of the Svivreni treat? Serving some of the enyak bobs and teerlop-zikody to Delaana if she indicates that she wants some of the appetizer, Elika serves some out for herself as well before asking, Anyone else? so that she can pass the dish to them so that they don't have to reach too far for it. Leaning over towards Franz when he leans towards her, Elika smiles as she says, Thanks, then crinkles her nose as she admits, I was wondering what I had ordered," with an amused laugh.
Looking mildly perplexed when Lily asks about barbecue, Elika manages to figure out what she is referring to after Delaana replies to the question, and nods as she smiles and tells Lily, "Barbecue sounds fine beautiful. Answering Delaana's questions about when to show up and directions, Elika toys absently with the earring she wears in her right ear as she smiles kittenishly and, well aware that Crystal and Lily both already have Delaana's contact information, decides to try and make her interest in seeing more of Delaana a bit more clear just in case Delaana is simply playfully flirtatious by nature rather than expressing interest herself, If you, um, give me your holonet address or comlink frequency I can send you the directions and the time, or maybe, um, comm you with them later?"
Grey Mist
Taking her badge from her belt and dropping it into the side pocket of her blazer since they don't want to give the impression that they are here on official UPD business in the hope that it might elicit more cooperation from Arezou and Klivian, Nazani looks over at Nemes and says, "You used to be in the OC unit, you know more about how these types think. Want to take the lead here?"
Pursing his tapir-like snout in thought for a moment, Nemes shrugs, "I'll give it a shot anyway. If you want to jump in, just give me the signal. Looking over at Nuala, Nemes explains, We use signals to let each other know things like if we want to have a go at a suspect or want the other person to back off. Rubbing his neck, Nemes tells her, This is how to let me know you want me to ease off, then adjusts the right cuff of his shirt as he says, This is how to say you want to take over. Exchanging a glance with Nazani to see if there are any other signals the Ranger might need, Nemes rolls his neck when she shakes her head, sighing as he says, Alright, let's do this."
Entering the restaurant, Nemes leads the way to where the host or hostess is after looking around and not spotting who they are here to see in the main dining area, and then, hands in the pockets of his suit coat casually, grins winningly as he says, "Good afternoon. We're here to join Arezou and Klivian's party. Taking his left hand from his pocket, Nemes lays his badge on the podium as he continues grinning and adds, Just tell us where to find 'em and we'll show ourselves in."
The Enchanted Florist
The large feline padding up the stairs beside him, Erlinghur Vilhjalmsson makes his way to the loft style apartment above the shop and takes a robe from a hook beside the door as he says, "Were it not such an unusual request, Svana or I would have handled it ourselves. Laying the robe on the back of a large sofa as the feline strides around the front of it, Erlinghur continues, The clients are associates of Sike, and state the assets they seek to acquire would be used solely for protection rather than aggressive action of any kind. Laying a datapad on the back of the sofa as a tall blonde haired woman - her body covered by a thin coat of tawny fur matching that of the predatory cat that is no longer anywhere to be seen - stands from the front of it and, her long tail twitching behind her legs, takes the robe and puts it on, Erlinghur concludes, You'll understand our concern when you see what assets have been requested."
With a regal nod of her head, the woman picks up the datapad and paces with a feline grace around the living room as she reads the unencrypted version of the message Arezhou and Klivian had sent, understanding her minion's concern after she has finished reading. Mercenary Force users that offer protective services are not a common commodity, and the message does not explain why they are needed when non-Force users offering the same services are far more available. Tapping the datapad against a furry cheek as she stops in front of a heavily curtained window and looks at the misty view available through a thin break in between the curtains, the Felacatian ponders the matter silently while Erlinghur stands silent and still behind the couch. Turning and tossing the datapad to Erlinghur, the Felacatian says, "Tell them only two, and that two will have to do. Tell them we can find two more non-Force users that excel at protection details if they want us to. Now, tell me where we are on our other requests, won't you?"
"The bounty hunter has been found, and is available whenever you decide to arrange for safe conduct, Erlinghur says as he deftly catches the datapad, We are still awaiting the reply from the Clawdite. Shall I make the arrangements for the bounty hunter?"
"Please do, the Felacatian says as she turns from the window and begins making her way towards her rooms to begin sourcing the requested assets for Arezou and Klivian, And then contact the client when you have, please do."
Nodding, Erlinghur stands as he begins sending encrypted messages to those that will be involved in arranging for the bounty hunter to be brought to Umgul undetected.
