Shortly after Elikapeka and the others have taken their seats, their hostess, a dark haired human in her mid-thirties with a name tag revealing her name is Valentina, arrives bearing a four champagne flutes and a bucket of ice from which she gracefully produces a chilled bottle of champagne and presents it while explaining in her exotically accented Basic, "Compliments of Cosimo, with his fondest regards. Daruvvian champagne from his very own personal stock. After distributing and filling the flutes, Valentina, unknowingly answering both Delaana and Crystal's questions, says, Today's special is a filet of Coslen Dantoinal. Baked in a light and playful, subtly flavored crust with a hint of lime, the fish inside tender and moist. The Coslen is accompanied with your choice of potato or rice and a delightful medley of mixed vegetables. Today's appetizer is Berbersian crab cakes; choice, succulent pieces of Berbersian crab baked in a crispy crust seasoned with tangy spices." Departing after asking if any of them would like to order additional beverages, or to order any appetizers and informing them she will return shortly with those items, if any, Valentina says she can take their main dish orders at that time.

Elika, who had been complimenting Delaana on her nails when Valentina had first arrived, orders Lobster Bisellian for her main course when Valentina returns, having elected to try the Berbersian crab cakes for her appetizer and asking that a pitcher of ice water and four glasses be brought to the table. Taking a sip of the Daruvvian champagne as she waits for the others to give their orders, Elika laces the fingers of her other hand with those of Delaana's after looking over at her and smiling ardently in a relaxed and carefree way that reveals, at least in her case, that their day has thusfar accomplished its intended purpose of easing everyone's cares.

Lucy, arching an eyebrow with an amused expression after Horsea asks who finds her intimidating, tells her, "Girl, you yourself said that you intimidate the opposite gender, unable to resist adding with a smirk, You also said you were demanding, and that your life was boring. Resting her chin on her hand, Lucy leans forward and says in a playfully serious tone, You know, in order to be loved, you have to first learn to love yourself, managing to keep a straight face through most of the sentence before, cracking up and waving her hand as she abandons the brief, joking foray into psychoanalysis, and instead saying seriously, I can't speak for people in general, but I don't think you're intimidating anyway, for what that's worth."

Ordering Roba pie with a side of Gi dumpling soup for herself, Lucy leans over against Forcias' side, having apparently decided to cease teasing him for the time being, and waits for everyone else to place their orders. Not usually one to sit on the conversational sidelines, Lucy remains uncharacteristically quiet for a moment to give the Kiffars a chance to speak together, amused to find herself wondering if they will even do so since she is present as, from what she has observed, they collectively tend to be on the tight-lipped side when in the presence of those not in their immediate circle.

Despite that characteristic that had been tied to them as a general rule. Several would find it hard to believe that the Kiffars did share, or even talked overtly when they wanted to. They weren’t under any general to keep all of the dealings to themselves, and they were certainly not again sharing some matters that were going on between their ranks.

Namely one of them was the gruesome task in trying to find some missing people thusfar. More importantly the Drakes, which was paramount, but also get a hold of the Jade, again another paramount thing. A subject that Ayla that was just dejected with so to speak as no matter where they looked, it was just coming up with a blank.

Then there was that standing order still concerning the blacklisted individual, to which Horsea filled in Lucine. She had asked her if the Lieutenant remembered that conversation they both once had that technically, Lucine, like herself were answering to a dark sider within the government. Snowball explanation from there, obviously after making sure that people around the bar weren’t paying attention to them, Horsea further explained that the person that both Lucine and Forcias had encountered in Eleuabad was the same individual that had managed to turn their very own boss to the dark side of the Force.

Other bits and pieces had been discussed but nothing really so secretive, especially when Ayla mentioned that she returned to the Guardians also but her time had been divided between the Academy and the Kiffars for obvious reasons and they were still tasked with trying to find a way to hopefully break that certain curse that Lucine had been made aware of back in Naboo, plus the constant grumbling of the General about how Forcias just abandoned all of them.

Their dinner served, figuring they would all lay off the heavy topics right now and just revert back to just them being between friends, and of course Lucine was privy to several things now due to the fact that she was with Forcias now, and that they were moving together, which had gotten Forcias to be teased by mostly Horsea while Ayla just shook her head in amusement, before ordering a few more drinks for them.

“I am not going to be able to walk away from this, huh?” Asked Forcias very much later on in the evening as he was in fact a bit tipsy.

Shaking her head, after all she had been the one to make sure that Forcias was in no way responsible enough to pilot, Ayla, who was still relatively sober just winked playfully at Lucine with an amused grin. “Nope, you will definitely have to let your very own lieutenant to pilot that speederbike of yours, Kes . . .”

“You are sober, right, and can pilot safely back to your place?” Looking at Lucy dubiously, Horsea who had a couple of drinks, but spaced them out, and even didn’t drink that much honestly just wanted to make sure that both of them would get home safe and sound for the night.

Somewhat wobbly, Forcias was thankful that Lucine was keeping him steady, he even had his arm wrapped around her neck as he looked at Ayla and Horsea giving them the OK sign with his thumb and index finger. What followed next . . . Yeah he definitely was holding onto his dear own life as Lucy took all of those sharp turns to get to the apartment. Thankfully that also more or less sobered him up in the process and he managed not to hurl his entire dinner on the ground once Lucine had parked the airspeeder on top of her building.

Sitting up a bit straighter and purposely letting his hand slide on her waist before actually resting his chin on her shoulder. "Had fun?" Kissing her neck quickly and hoping off the speeder, Forcias wrapped his arm around her neck and walked with her to her, their apartment, and to just finish their night together and alone.

The next day, Forcias was already up and about into the apartment brewing some caf, and some breakfast recalling exactly last night, as he definitely got that distinct expression that the ladies just got along tremendously. Putting everything on a tray and walking over to the bedroom, Forcias deposited the caf, egg, nerf bacon on the edge on the bed before leaning over to kiss her forehead.

"Breakfast," Said Forcias as she noticed her waking up, he brought the tray closer to her, and picked up his cup of caf before sitting on the bed and smirked. "So, I am guessing that they are cool in your books, huh?" Forcias wasn't surprised honestly, once people got over some of the facts about them, Ayla and Horsea were actually cool to hang out with, and not because Forcias was used to them and was often with them, but because it was just an easy vibe. "I am guessing it won't be long before you kick," Quoted Forcias with his fingers "Me out, so that you three can have a girls' night or something?"
