Looking from Lily to Ryan with a jaded expression, Crystal rolled her eyes exasperatedly although what Lily had just said amused her to tell the truth. "Siete entrambi impossibile." (You are both impossible) Crystal muttered dryly before shaking her head but soon she giggled because she was still amused. But she managed to control herself as she looked towards Elika concerning the chances of getting Lily to cook. "I guess that maybe I am asking probably for the impossible, but," Crystal looked at her childhood friend quite seriously and even narrowed her eyes. "If I do not see our housemate who happens to be the Attorney General of this planet cook, she cannot take part into planning that what could be future baby shower." Finally! Crystal had a little leverage there, or at least a massive one and she even put her index finger up and glanced at Elika knowingly. "Only Elika will be allowed to do so, oh and also I am vetoing your could have been plans for what could have been bachelorette party for me, not until you get to cooking for a solid week, I will not allow you to do those two things." Winking at her childhood friend playfully before curling back comfortable against the armrest of the couch, Crystal was pretty proud of herself then and there.
Crystal nodded to indicate that she was fine with that time for Lily's infamous bikini fantasy, noon should be good enough indeed considering that would allow her, but also Elika, to rest before that time after their jogging. "Perfectly fine with me." Crystal voiced out before looking thoughtfully at Franz, who should probably be informed of their tomorrow plans as he was still mandated to Elika. "By the way Franz, tomorrow before the break of dawn, Elika and I are going to go for a jog, are you going to join us?" That question asked, Crystal soon furrowed her eyebrows when she was informed that a good friend of hers had arrived, no further details at all.
Crystal wondered who it was but before she could even start concentrating on the currents of the Force, she couldn't explain but she knew that Atlantis was nearby which caused her to look in the direction of the front door and he then revealed himself before calling her out. Focusing this time, Atlantis wasn't alone at all, her eyes widened and she smiled upon recognizing the person that was next to him. Quickly putting her glass of wine down onto the coffee table, she scrambled from the sofa and moved in a fast pace towards the entrance of the lakehouse and when she opened the door, she saw Atlantis there with his lightsaber floating in the air and then her gaze fell onto Serrin's figure which caused Crystal to smile widely before she advanced towards the Twi'lek Master Jedi and gave her a welcoming hug. "It is so good to see you." Crystal said warmly as she released Serrin entirely and just looked at her briefly, from Crystal's memories, this definitely was Serrin but she seemed to have lost some weight. "Those rumors were truly false considering that you are here, but please to come in." Crystal said as she looked at Atlantis with a knowing smile, although she was surprised to only find Atlantis right now, Andros was still probably held up by something.
"Can I both get you anything?" Crystal asked as she led both Atlantis and Serrin towards the living room. And when she got there, she pretty much introduced everyone to Serrin and vice versa until she then realized that Atlantis and Serrin did have a lot of things to talk about. "If you two need a moment together, there is always the gardens?" Crystal told them with a warm smile. Whether Atlantis had found where Serrin had been all of this time, or even managed to request for her help hence the reason why she was here, Crystal didn't know, what she currently knew it was the fact that she was happy that Serrin was safe and that she was here after such a long time, but she figured that perhaps she and Serrin could catch up later when there was a possibility that Atlantis and Serrin did have important business to talk about. Although usually she preferred that those things did not occur here, with the ongoing things happening on Umgul, actually Crystal didn't mind one bit.

Enroute to Lakehouse
Shrugging a shoulder when Atlantis asks whether my offer to have some of the instructors from the academy on Corellia come to assist the Mist Order in the training of their learners, I smile and reassure him, "I would not make the offer if I thought it would impair the academy, and since I've taken some time away from my duties as headmaster and teacher, you need not worry about my absence either. In the event Atlantis is less concerned about the impact reassigning a few instructors could have, and more concerned about any conflicts between the Mist Order's philosophies and teachings and those of the Order, something we have never discussed in depth, and which would require clarification at some point, I say, My offer stands, but there's no need for you to make any decision now. At least consider it, or discuss it with the others maybe, and let me know when you reach a decision. Patting his shoulder when he asks how I have been, I smile and say, I'm well," to reassure him he need not worry about me, preferring to leave any discussion of the subject of my disappearance and all that had transpired on Bimmisaarai for another time as Atlantis has more than enough on his plate at the moment without me adding to it.
I nod, frowning in concern when Atlantis explains that Raan has personal issues of his own to deal with that he has not shared with Atlantis, worried for the senator, but knowing well that some prefer to contend with their problems on their own, hard as it may be for those that care about them to respect that desire. Stepping from the speeder after we have arrived at Crystal and her roommates's residence, I smile and say, "Attorney General? Good for her. Crystal joins us not long afterwards, and I smile as I return her hug, glad to see her looking happy and well despite the fact she must be concerned for Atlantis and his twin. It is good to see you as well Crystal," I tell her sincerely, and nod when she notes that the rumors of my fate have now been proven unfounded.
Tchin, my right lekku, slides behind my shoulder to drape behind my back, swishing to curl its tip around the outside of my hip as we follow Crystal inside her home, and I clasp my hands behind my back as introductions are made all around, bowing to those I have met and am meeting for the first time as the introductions are made. Shaking my head with a warm smile when Crystal asks if Atlantis or I would like anything, I say, "Thank you, but I'm fine for now. Looking over and up at Atlantis when Crystal asks if we need a moment to see if we are in agreement, I say, I don't think we have anything that needs to be discussed alone, no," since I do not feel that anything we have to discuss is so pressing that it cannot wait until tomorrow. Atlantis has undoubtedly had a long day, and I can see that he is understandably tired and frustrated by all that has happened, and now that he is here among friends I'd prefer he avail himself of the comfort their company will afford him.

Frowning theatrically with a forlorn expression when Lily jokingly suggests that she and Elikapeka missed their chance to be together, Elika sighs and shakes her head as though mourning what might have been, intentionally turning to whisper into Delaana's ear after Lily tells her to stop whispering to her Hapan Bombshell, an expression that brings a smile to her face, agreeing with Delaana in a playfully concerned tone, "It looks like you're right, we are definitely in trouble with her, aren't we? Resting her chin briefly on Delaana's shoulder, Elika rolls her eyes with an amused smile when Delaana says that she likes Elika just the way she is, arching an eyebrow as she leans closer to whisper teasingly, Well, if that's the case then I'm sure you'll still like me just fine after I've worked out for a while too," squeezing Deelaana's hand after the peck they share while looking back into Delaana's vibrantly blue eyes and feeling nearly entranced by them.
Sitting up straighter and taking a sip of her wine after reluctantly tearing her gaze away from Delaana, Elika tries unsuccessfully not to laugh when Lily refers to Crystal as a MILF, trying to play it off as though she is choking by patting her chest and mumbling an apology while trying to get her laughter under control. Crystal counters by informing Lily that there are a few conditions she will now need to meet before she will be allowed to help in the planning if and when a bachelorette party or baby shower are required. Deciding it would be best to stay out of that conversation entirely, Elika is glad when Franz's announcement that a friend of Crystal's has arrived. Looking at Franz with an eyebrow arched inquisitively, Elika wonders who he is referring to, but Ryan offers to help in the kitchen before she can ask Franz to tell them who he is talking about, and Elika smiles at Delaana when she asks if they will be fine, squeezing her hand as she says, "I think there's more than enough of everything, and we can always throw something easy together if not. Looking back at Ryan, Elika tells him, If we need any help, we'll let you know though. Thank you."
Looking slightly confused when Crystal gets up and heads outside, Elika takes a moment to put things together, assuming that Atlantis, Andros, her mystery guest, or some combination of the three have arrived. When Crystal returns, Atlantis and Master Roma with her, Elika smiles and waves with her free hand as the introductions go around, as glad as she imagines they all are to see that the Twi'lek Jedi is safe and sound after having been reported to be missing in action for quite some time. Master Roma looks thinner than when Elika last saw her, but otherwise seems just as calm and poised as ever. Though she wonders if Master Roma has come due to all that has been happening in the holonews, Elika doesn't think asking would be polite, and since she also worries that telling the Twi'lek that it is good to see that she is alive might also be a sore subject, she doesn't bring either topic up, instead asking Atlantis with a concerned expression, "Andros isn't with you? He's still coming I hope?" Elika doesn't like the idea of Andros being alone now, not with everything going on, and so decides that she will comm him to try and persuade him to come and join them if it turns out that he has decided not to come for some reason.

Franz currently had wide eyes, him pursing his lips to stop himself from laughing, Lily always did make people laugh no matter what, Franz couldn't tell if she was doing it on purpose, but he guessed that she was just being her... "Yeah... I think, no," Knowing hat it was preferably best that he put his bottle of water down to avoid any disaster. "I know that I am officially traumatized." Franz said laughing while he shook his head. Despite that comment of his, Franz preferred to stay out of the conversation between Crystal and Lily for obvious reasons. He already did not want to get into trouble to begin with, but he really did not want to get in the middle of their debate but quite honestly, Franz wasn't traumatized, he was just amused and enjoying his time here despite everything that has been occurring, he knew deep inside of him that the brothers would really feel at ease here.
Looking at Crystal with a knowing smile after most had said that the time he had originally provided was sound, he inclined his head soon enough when she asked him if he was going to join her and Elika for their jog. "I shall yes, it'll also be good for me." Franz said knowingly since it was probably one of those moments where he could keep on training he supposed, although in a way he did not want to simply intrude the two women to begin with, but he had too in a way especially when he still was mandated to Elika until Lucy returned.
Franz noticed all the inquisitive expressions in his direction but he figured that they would all see soon enough especially when he started to feel Atlantis nearby and even Serrin but no Andros just yet, and Franz wondered what the younger Vyridian was up to especially when a few moments ago, Andros seemed to have just disappeared into thin air. Franz knew deep down though that Andros was fine, he supposed, he couldn't explain how and why but he still shared a certain affinity with Andros, although Franz was hoping that he was going to show up soon as well. Standing up from his seat when Crystal returned into the living room with Serrin and Atlantis, Franz inclined his head respectfully in Serrin's direction with a warm smile.
She and Franz never really had the opportunity to talk much in the past but he knew that Atlantis respected her for who and what she had done back then, and now she was here. He wondered if Atlantis had asked for her to come in order to be helped with the ongoing investigation, or if it was just a fortunate coincidence. "Please, take my seat." Franz said as he gestured to his now free seat as he looked at Serrin once more with a smile and then he glanced at Atlantis upon hearing Elika's question to him about Andros. Despite wanting originally to ask where Andros was, considering that it would perhaps be surprising to ask that especially when everyone knew that Franz was attuned to the Force, that Andros was as well, it might cause concern for most. Instead Franz cut all of his connection to the Force and looked at Elika with a genuine and warm expression. "I am sure that Andros is going to arrive soon enough, he perhaps just had to deal with one last final thing before making his way here." Franz said sincerely, after all Andros was the type of person that always did things and often preferred to never put those things off. "Also he did say that he was going to come tonight, and he doesn't air talk."

Perhaps now that Serrin was here, it might get Raan to open up a little. If only. Was Atlantis worried about Raan? Of course he was. Did Atlantis wish to help him? That went without saying. Even if at some point they had been at odds for some stupid reason now that Atlantis was looking at it, he would still help out a good friend, and that was undeniable. His rapport with Raan might have changed a little especially that they haven’t gotten around to talking about that issue that caused a contention between them, but it did not change the fact that Atlantis still cared for the man and his daughter.
Although he was pretty sure that Mace was aware of what Raan was dealing with, but unfortunately, they all applied the same rule, when it wasn’t their own story to tell they wouldn’t even bring it up. Which was really troubling him in a way because back in Andros’ office he had made Madieke aware of Crystal’s sensitivity without his girlfriend knowing so, without even letting, or asking her…
His mind seemed scattered right now thankfully though he had caught everything Serrin had told him and he showed that by inclining his head on the matter of having instructors from Corellia to come here to her actually taking some time away from her duties back to the place he had thought she really started to call home. That was a matter they could revisit any time, Atlantis supposed since right now he saw that Crystal had made her way out of the lakehouse to greet them and particularly welcome Serrin back.
Grabbing his lightsaber in midair, Atlantis briefly glanced behind him to see if his brother was arriving but so far nothing. Maybe he wasn’t looking into it too deeply, Atlantis was still exhausted so right now he really was tapped out and had no inclination into reaching out to the Force again.
Stepping inside of the lakehouse after Crystal and Serrin did so, Atlantis followed them within and looked at Crystal after she had made the introductions asking him if he wanted anything, just anything at all. Shaking his head to deny the offer, Atlantis turned to look at Serrin with a faint shrug, actually that was up to the Twi’lek Jedi, if she wanted to talk but before he could get into that matter, Atlantis looked in Elika’s direction when she asked him about Andros’ whereabouts.
“Andros did say he was still going to come.” Well Andros didn’t quite say it verbally but the nod he had gotten from his brother had been enough indication. “Although Franz is right, when I left him, the Intelligence Director was making her way to his office with two other officers, they seemed to be pushing something for Andros’ office.” Atlantis explained, although what they had been pushing, he clearly did not see it that much besides the fact that it was a tree, at least Atlantis thought he saw a tree. But then, why would Horsea need some men to haul a tree, she was attuned to the Force?
That matter was eluding him currently but still he kept looking at Elika with a warm smile to let her know that not only Andros was indeed coming but Franz was also right in his statement that Andros did not air talk at all.
“Excuse me a moment,” Atlantis said as he removed his coat and made his way towards Crystal’s room to get himself much more comfortable and just let go of his lightsabers. He changed his shirt and stared blankly for a moment right in front of him.

Standing there in front of the gate that led to the lakehouse, Andros was still playing with the fact that perhaps he shouldn't interrupt them inside, and maybe they were actually better off without him but Andros also knew that they cared like he did care about them, not that he always showed it to them, or when he did it was in a particular way. It was his way, with them he never needed to make a mea culpa, with them he didn't necessarily need to watch his words and with them he didn't need to constantly need to control himself... Andros was still there waiting motionless and even trying to get a sense of things, but he knew that he was no longer able to do so.
Now that Andros was here, he might have been amused by the fact that he had been speaking with a being that prevented him the use of the Force in his office, but then again he had been prevented from its use for a while now, not that everyone knew. Actually only a few did, but that was because he needed discretion on that but what the heck, the press and that lawyer could think whatever they wanted, say whatever they wanted, he wasn't guilty at all and if people wanted to bring him down, actually he would let them do so. He had just about enough of doing things for others, maybe he should step down and just let whoever wanted to take over just take over.
That would give him some vacation, he supposed, and that would allow him to be free from his binds for he would go after those two. They were so obsessed that it was ridiculous, shaking his head as he snapped out of his thoughts, Andros got into the lakehouse when it had been opened by no doubt Atlantis since an airspeeder just passed over his head. He slowly walked but when he did reach the lakehouse and got inside, he had heard that Elika had been inquiring about him and Atlantis did give her some details.
Shock.
And that happened before he could even get a word out, instead he let out a groan as he placed his left hand over his right wrist, and then shock again on his left wrist. During the whole time he had been good at masking the twitch he felt continuously but not today and not this evening, he really was exhausted, and those things were taking a toll on him.
"Remove the frown from your features, Elikapeka, it does not suit you." Andros said with a darkened expression only due to the fact that he was exhausted and actually it felt like he had just spoken monotonously. His gaze finally landed onto the Twi'lek Jedi and he inclined his head slightly. "Welcome back to Umgul, Serrin, unfortunately words have it that you are in the vicinity of a murderer." Andros said cynically, his own personal joke he guessed, but he had always been cynical anyways with a dry humor that amused no one in particular but him. "How long do we have you planetside?" Andros asked curiously, he should probably toss a yeller at Raan to let him know that she was here, but then again Andros was already pretty sure that he was aware of that fact wherever he might have been.

"Si, si ..." I wave my hand dismissively when baby girl says that we are impossible Ryan and I, I think that is what she has just said. Eh, just wing it. "It won't change the fact, sempre ti amo!" Narrowing my expression before glancing at Ryan who I know can correct me there, since I might have messed up. "Was that even right?" Clearly it doesn't matter, since I am sure that baby girl does understand anyways what I wanted to emphasize there but then I look at her with a shocked expression. I am not even faking it this time because this is me being genuinely shocked. "A week?" I ask again just to make sure maybe I have just dreamt that fact, but really ... Did she just say a week?! "A week. You cannot be sincerious right now." Although she does look serious to me, and I am looking at gorgeous right about now before looking back at baby girl. "So, wait, wait, wait, I get to do it for a week but gorgeous does it one evening with her Hapan Bombshell's help, that makes her eligible to plan?" How is that even fair? Grumpily crossing my arms before pouting excessively, I pretend to wipe an imaginary tear because clearly this whole blackmail thing amuses me. "Fine you win, gosh baby girl, that was so low! But nicely done." Giggling this time before taking a sip of my wine, I relax comfortably against Ryan really while I keep on waiting on who is that mysterious person.
Uh ... okay. Furrowing my eyebrows when I notice that baby girl is just standing up out of the blue, it immediately clicks, lover boy must be right there. She always knows anyways, some sort of bond or whatever, too complicated for me, I am non-Force here, and it's cool that way. Smiling warmly at Serrin whom I am introduced to again at least even though I have already seen her back then, I wave my hand at her, although someone is indeed missing, gorgeous notes that, so do I. Although I am pretty sure that boss man has other things to deal with, but actually, no there he is. He looks worse than when we saw him back at the precinct. "You do know that none of us believe that." I factually say after his statement, one of us is bound to say it anyways, none of us believe he did what those two creeps said he did despite apparently seeing Andros Vyridian as the killer or just attacker, whatever. "You might want to sit down." I tell him with a faint smile before giving him a meaningful glance because he really does look like crap and I have no idea why he is holding onto his wrist that way, but that said, I look at baby girl and glance in the direction of her room, because not only does boss man look like crap but so does lover boy, and Kayne should probably go to him right now ...

Not believing one bit that Franz was traumatized, Ryan simply moved on from that and just rolled his eyes at his supposedly being traumatized. Matter settled, Ryan kept on taking a sip of his drink from time to time as he heard Crystal putting on conditions for Lily so that his girlfriend actually started to get cooking. "I think you and I both know that Crystal is only making up for all the things you have been telling her..." Ryan said teasingly before glancing at Lily, but soon he just pursed his lips, he probably had said too much already. "I am sure that you'll do fine, I'll even help you out, since she didn't exactly say if you weren't allowed any help at all." Smiling at Lily before looking dubiously at his sister, just to make sure at least, lest he got into trouble as well, which wasn't something he wanted so to speak, considering that she still did kick his ass whenever she and Ryan trained together from time to time.
Ryan smiled at both Lana and Elika when they both told him that they would let him know if it was necessary, he inclined his head before saying. "Don't mention it, you'll have pretty much everything you need in the conservator if it comes to adding a few extra thing." He had after all stocked up the fridge since he did go grocery shopping even though both his sister and his girlfriend kept saying that he was under no obligation to do so, but to him it was the least he could do at least. He was already crashing here most of the time and for free too, so yeah wherever he could help out, he'd do it gladly.
It seemed now that the question had been answered when Crystal returned from greeting the newcomers. Ryan smiled respectfully at Master Roma, he did not know much about her, but he guessed that the last memory she had of him wasn't a really good one especially when she had been present at his sister's birthday and that went spiraling down. Ryan knew that he had pretty much lost it by the end of the evening and as much as he didn't want to admit it at least for now, he was ashamed. Then again Virgil somewhat always brought the worse out of him for many reasons... When Atlantis excused himself for a moment which rang Andros' arrival so to speak, Ryan glanced at his other adopted cousin knowing that he distinctly heard a groan from Andros. "Are you alright?" Ryan could not help to ask, even though he knew that Andros hated the attention and everything that entailed but he was looking in Andros' direction and particularly his wrists...

"That goes without saying my Shakal." Lana replied teasingly although honestly, it really did not matter to her if Elika worked out or not, everything else about her, was still perfect in her honest opinion and it showed when Lana locked her gaze with Elika before smiling briefly, she knew though that she had to stop right now and just try to follow up with what had been going on in the living room, or more importantly what was being said. Hiding her amusement behind her glass of wine, Lana just took a sip of her drink while Lily tried to counter what Crystal had tasked her to do in order to be allowed to plan. "You really weren't joking earlier when you said that it was much, much worse at home." She playfully commented as she briefly glanced at Elika. She had been a witness of the back and forth between Lily and Crystal a few times in the past, but really not this much and not this crazy. It really seemed that there wasn't a moment of boredom with them.
Placing her glass down on the coffee table, Lana looked at Ryan with a warm and grateful smile again when he pointed out that he had stocked up the conservator. "Duly noted, and thank you." Lana grinned before looking briefly at Lily and Crystal remembering something about a conversation that occurred at TaSpa!. She guessed that the conservator was then stocked up with ordinary and common ingredients and not any random things that Lily might have gotten a hold of. Tossing a knowing expression at Ryan before looking at Lily, Lana said in support. "It's only one week and I am very sure you'll do just fine with Ryan's help." Despite Lily's earlier reservation about cooking, Lana did not believe that she was bad at it at all. Then again, she still had to be stood corrected on that fact.
Soon enough she crossed one leg over the other and still she did not let go of Elika's hand for some reason, although if Elika did wanted to let go, Lana would have nothing against it really. Though right now she was more curious on who was coming to visit Crystal, and she actually found out. Delaana did recognize the name when she was introduced to her, it got her to smile in a friendly manner to Serrin. In this case, it looked like Atlantis somewhat called in the big guns, if she could put it that way. Prior to her disappearance, Master Roma was one of the High Councilor of the Jedi Order right? Lana never knew the reasons why the Mist Order wasn't part of it, as after all it wasn't her prerogative to know, but it really looked like that not only Serrin was a good friend to Atlantis but also to Crystal.
Lana's thought didn't linger on that as soon after Andros' name had been spoken by Elika, the man himself had arrived and for some reason, knowing how close Elika's relationship was with the Vice-Governor, this time, Lana released Elika's hand and glanced apologetically at Elika for all they knew, Lana really wasn't that in a rush to get a deadly glare from Andros who might have been overly protective of Elika, and his words to her somewhat gave that away. "Would you like something to drink, sir, or anything at all?" Lana asked genuinely and composed really as she just looked at him waiting if he indeed needed anything.

Everything that had been said prior to her meeting up with Serrin and Atlantis at the front door, Crystal temporarily put a lid on that, and now there she was standing in the living room wondering if Atlantis had anything to do with calling for Serrin, since after all a while ago she remembered him telling her that he was trying to track the Twi'lek Jedi down but with everything that had been happening back at the academy and not managing to get a few more instructors in place, Atlantis had his hands full with his responsibilities. Right now, Crystal was more leaning towards the fact that it was a fortunate coincidence and perhaps Serrin would be able to help out for this case that was going on in Umgul.
Crystal nodded and understood completely why Serrin might not have wanted to get into a serious conversation with Atlantis right about now, she was grateful for that fact, that was a given although she did not hesitate to inform the Master Jedi. "If you both change your minds, there is a fire pit right there and some millaflowers around." That place was after all Atlantis' favorite spot to just relax and clear his mind whenever he could and it really looked like that maybe he needed some relaxation. Hearing that Atlantis excused himself for a moment, right a little bit before Andros' arrival, she looked at him with a concerned expression. Her feelings were torn between asking him if he was all right, but it seemed like Ryan had gone ahead and asked it anyways, and her going after Atlantis. Sighing softly, Crystal looked at both Serrin and Andros with a warm smile. "Please do make yourself at home." Crystal gestured with a faint grin and then she looked back in the direction of where Atlantis had disappeared.
"Excuse me a moment as well..."
Crystal walked in the direction of her room and closed the door gently behind her before leaning against it briefly. She still remembered what he had told her earlier in the precinct and he had told her that he would explain soon. Despite that, actually she wasn't in a rush to finding out immediately, all she knew was that she trusted him and he had a reason. But sooner or later she'd want to hear it, maybe not tonight or tomorrow, she didn't care at all. Pushing away from the door, she placed her hands on his biceps as she stood right in front of him slightly looking up into his eyes. "You need to rest, or even take some time off..." Crystal told him before moving her hands upwards to his cheeks. "I have heard you earlier, and I know you have told me that you will explain," Placing her fingertips onto his lips as perhaps he would say something, she stopped him and shook her head slightly. "Not tonight, Atlantis." She told him sincerely before pecking his lips and resting her forehead against his. "Only Lily knows so far..." Sighing softly, Crystal pulled her head back and looked at him lovingly. "Come on, everyone is waiting and I am sure that you are relieved that Serrin is alive and here." Taking his hand in hers, giving him a moment to perhaps take whatever he needed, Crystal led them back to the living room soon enough.
"Right, so who is hungry?" Crystal asked dubiously with a faint smile before looking at Atlantis and Andros with a faint smile. "Tomorrow, we are going to have some fun here, and you two are invited, it's compulsory." Crystal even looked at Serrin to include her, she maybe also needed a break with what she might have potentially gone through. "You can join us if you want, which reminds me, where are you staying, the academy?" She asked inquisitively as if it wasn't the case or no plans had been made, Crystal would clearly offer Serrin to stay here. She really didn't see anyone say anything against that anyways...

Smiling appreciatively as I wave my hand to decline the offer of his seat, I tell Franz, "Please, that isn't necessary, but thank you. Learning that Andros will be joining us as well is welcome news, for not only will it be good to see him again, but I imagine that being here among friends and family can only be a good thing for him with all that has been happening. Not long after learning of his impending arrival, Andros arrives, and after returning his greeting with a bow, I smile as I remind him of the value of words such as those that have been said against him, If you recall, it was not so long ago word was that I was almost certainly deceased. Lifting my hands at my side, I say, Yet here I am now. Walking closer to him, I stand on tip-toe to rest a hand briefly on his shoulder as I say, Words are wind, and the truth almost always surfaces in time. Don't let words trouble you, especially those spoken in ignorance. Andros looks, if possible, even more tired than his twin, and so I give him no choice in the matter when, after Lily beats me to the suggestion that he sit down, I nod towards the seat Franz had offered me and tell him sternly, Sit down," putting my hand gently on his back and guiding him towards the chair in case words alone will not move him.
Once Andros is seated I smile as I answer his question about the planned duration of my stay, "As long as I am needed, or for however long Ashla would have me stay, to let him know that I will remain at least so long as it takes to help with the current situation he and Atlantis face, and longer still if Ashla reveals to me that She would have me do so. Inclining my head in thanks as Tchun, my left lekku, swinging up onto my left shoulder and coiling around the front of my neck, when Crystal returns and says that I would be welcome to join them again tomorrow, I smile as I tell her, Thank you, though I not sure that it would be better to let the group have time alone, and so decide to make a decision later. Nodding when Crystal correctly guesses where I will be staying, I confirm, The academy, yes. I'm anxious to see it now that it has been completed."

Elikapeka cannot help but smile whenever Delaana calls her 'my Shakal', the way Delaana says it sending a thrill through her each and every time, and she squeezes Delaana's hand when she says it now. Leaning over when Delaana states that she can see now what Elika had not been exaggerating at all when telling her that Lily and Crystal's playful bantering is even worse when they are in the comfort of their own home, Elika purposefully brushes her lips against Delaana's ear as, finally thinking of the right term of endearment for her, she whispers in a playful sing-song voice, "I told you so, my Ceesi," and then rests her chin on Delaana's shoulder just to look at her for a moment before sitting back up reluctantly when it occurs to her that she is veering towards re-entering the private little world she and Delaana had found earlier, which feels impolite at the moment.
Nodding as though accepting what Franz and Atlantis say to reassure her, Elika's concerned frown is soon replaced by a relieved smile when Andros does indeed arrive not long afterwards. Arching an eyebrow in theatrical irritation when Andros glares at her while telling her not to frown when he knows perfectly well that she will be worried about and concerned for him, Elika starts to tell him to sit, but Lily and Master Roma both do so before she has the chance. Smiling with just a hint of concern when Master Roma even goes so far as to physically move Andros towards the chair, Elika thinks that the Twi'lek is either very brave, or that she and Andros are closer friends than Elika knew.
Looking over at Delaana with a playful pout when her hand is released, Elika, thinking that now is a good time to finish preparing dinner since everyone has arrive, stands up after Delaana offers to get Andros a drink, shortly after which Crystal had returned after following Atlantis from the living room and asked if anyone was hungry. After waiting for Andros to answer Delaana's question, Elika reaches down and takes Delaana's hand, gently pulling her up as she says, "We still have a few things to finish for dinner, so everyone just make yourselves at home and relax while we finish them. It shouldn't take long," she tells everyone over her shoulder as she leads Delaana back into the kitchen.
When she and Delaana reach the kitchen, Elika gives her hand a squeeze before letting it go as she proposes, "I'll handle the bread and pasta, and you take care of the salad, my Ceesi?"

"Very well," Franz told her with a faint smile but he still did not sit back down on his seat, perhaps she would change her mind at some point, Franz had no idea. Before he could even carry on with his thoughts just as Crystal and Atlantis left for a moment, Franz wondered if they would be taking longer due to them needing to talk about what Atlantis had said earlier in the precinct. There were some elements that really did unsettle him in a way, and he would need to find more details sooner or later but Franz wasn't going to rush that, he knew that things always happened in due time. Looking at Andros when he arrived with a groan, Franz looked at his cousin dubiously. What he saw next, it actually made him smile faintly. Serrin was comforting the man who had been painted as the culprit all of this time, sure Andros looked like someone who always seemed on a short fuse but not all the time.
Either way Franz just stepped aside when Serrin pushed Andros towards the seat Franz had just vacated and he just stood there momentarily when he heard Serrin was going to be staying at their academy. Franz looked at her with a knowing grin, it was true, the last time she had come here, the academy wasn't completed at all. "You know that you can stay for however long you want or need." Franz told her sincerely with a faint nod before adding soon after. "One of us will give you the tour whenever you tell us that you want to head there and see for yourself." Either he would do it, or Atlantis would but considering that Atlantis seemed exhausted as well and perhaps had more pressing business to take care of, he'd offer without a doubt.
Something did boggle him though, Andros and Atlantis were here along with Serrin, but wasn't Mace also supposed to come? Then again, Franz wondered if that was going to happen since he clearly remembered Mace saying that if it were possible for her to come, she'd do so, but that did not stop him from asking as he looked at Atlantis and Andros, the two of them somehow knew a little bit more when they saw Mace more than a few of them. "Mace isn't coming this evening, huh?" Franz said rhetorically, he clearly wasn't asking for the reasons, for some unfathomable reason, at least on the surface of it, out of all the Jedi here, Mace always seemed to be the busiest one out of all of them, then again political adviser and councilor on top of other things, Franz supposed, that must have been tougher.

Shedding his gears and gently placing his things on the bed, Atlantis kept on staring blankly at the wall right in front of him. Everything he was doing right now was just mindlessly. Turning around when he heard the door close behind him, he paused a moment as he was about to wear a shirt and he just looked at his girlfriend momentarily still in silence. Her presence was comforting to him, often times they did not need to speak much and the silence they were wrapped in was the comfortable the kind especially in this situation.
Sighing softly, Atlantis knew that she was right, he needed to potentially take some time off but with everything happening around, that was unlikely, but resting, he wasn’t against that, which was why he nodded for the rest part, he was even about to say something, but she stopped him and instead he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back.
So, Elika still wasn’t aware at all… He figured that might have been difficult to get her aside with the fact that Delaana was here too, and they seemed content, if not happy together. Atlantis, after all, had seen their holding hands and he guessed that it happened all during their afternoon. “Yes, I am relieved but I am also happy for Elika.” Atlantis said with a faint smile before asking, “Lily?” He figured that the Attorney General might have had something to do with it to begin with, if not then he would stand corrected, either way for now Atlantis put that to rest and put his white shirt on before removing his boots and he got a hold of his comlink but completely left everything else on the bed for the time being as he followed Crystal back to the living room with her hand in his.
Atlantis was glancing around and he was glad that his brother was there, he only inclined his head in Andros’ direction before looking back at Crystal when she pretty much ordered him to be there tomorrow for that fun she had in mind. “We’ll see…” Atlantis said with a warm smile before glancing at his comlink, he would have to jack that in that recess area to get a wider range.
“I have to contact a few people first, and then after I am all yours.” Atlantis said before looking at Lily warily. “Not the way you are thinking,” He warned her playfully with narrowed eyes and he just headed towards the garden after opening the window and closing it behind him but before doing that, he pushed a button to get the mist to dissipate around there.
When he had been done setting up his comlink that allowed him to have a holocom too, Atlantis looked up momentarily and contacted the conclaves of Felucia and Honoghr, his entire being coming to view and he only left a message for whoever would hear and see it.
Greetings Masters, my name is Atlantis Vyridian, I am the current Headmaster of the Mist Order Academy in Umgul. If I am contacting you now, it is because I am seeking your help for something that unfortunately involves not only me but also my identical twin, who is the current Vice Governor of this planet. Someone is setting him up for murders that he did not commit, and me starting up the investigation automatically puts it under the category of wanting to cover him. It is not like that, and I know deep inside of me that Andros hasn’t committed those crimes. Pausing a moment, Atlantis sighed softly before looking around him momentarily in defeat. The planet I have sworn to protect from anything and everything is under attack from within, so please if you can spare a few investigators from your conclaves, I would be thankful. Atlantis left it at that and cut entirely the connection before sighing once again and shaking his head…

Elika seemed really irritated from where he was standing. Knowing why she might have frowned to begin with, and why she looked irritated right about now, Andros just looked at her in understanding, his gaze even softened as he smiled genuinely this time around, but...
Shock. Again. Twice.
Andros growled and gritted his teeth before taking a deep breath, perhaps he should have asked Horsea earlier to deactivate it temporarily so he could get some sleep tonight. But again despite the silent shocks that had been occurring on his wrist covered by his shirt's sleeves, he knew that whenever he was feeling the effects of those surges, as if it was pricking him, he'd feel it even more when he was that exhausted. "I feel like crap, Solaris, I haven't had a decent sleep in months." Andros replied bluntly before shaking his head when Lana asked him if he wanted anything to drink, although he did say. "We are not in the government building, Ms. Wan, so please just call me by my name."
The whole 'sir', 'Vice-Governor' thing was tiring really and currently he was off duty, and it seemed to him that Serrin was pushing him towards that seat, he looked at her with narrowed eyes before moving on his own and sitting down like she wanted him to do so, like everyone else wanted him to do so. Having caught everything Serrin had told him, he looked up at her with an amused and cynical expression. "Wind indeed, but add many people repeating those same words, it becomes a hurricane." Andros said thoughtfully, it felt like old times the way they were addressing one another. It looked like they were clashing, but far from it, this was a good trip down memory lane, and if he recalled correctly, she also had found him nearly on the verge to explode back then, but not tonight and certainly not anytime soon until he still had those bracelets on his wrists that could only be deactivated and removed by Horsea Aestrea.
"Well then, let's just hope that Ashla shows you that you are truly welcomed here and that you shouldn't be uprooted any time soon." Andros told her, despite his still darkened expression, or even current scowl, that was one of his way to tell her that she was welcome to stay here for as long as she wanted, or needed, even indefinitely if she wanted to. Andros always assumed the worse anyways, and he assumed that something really bad had happened to her when she was first declared dead. Leaning back against the seat, Andros brought his hands up and intertwined his fingers together as he saw Elika and Lana leave in the direction of the kitchen. Arching his eyebrow and keeping on looking at them both, he turned his attention elsewhere in indifference before looking at Franz who said that he would give Master Roma the tour of the academy after Crystal had posed that question of hers. "I am sure that you will like the academy, here, although like mostly everything and anything, biometrics have been installed and you will need to be accompanied by one of the councilors so you can access the place without a baby sitter." Andros said with a cynical smirk, after all it was the weekend, not a lot of people were at that said academy since Atlantis did close it then and there.
But apparently he had been invited tomorrow, he wondered what kind of fun, at least in their definition. "We'll see, Crystal." Andros repeated the same words of Crystal's boyfriend and smirked faintly before looking again at Serrin after Atlantis had made his way to the gardens. "Serrin..." Andros looked at her again, his gaze softened and he even smiled briefly. "Thank you for coming and also helping us out." Andros figured out more or less that it might have been one of the reasons why she was currently here also besides reassuring most of them that she was still alive, but really whatever she had gone through, she still came here to help out.

The last time I have seen Master Roma, it was actually here in the lakehouse when she came over to help out Kayne with her newly found abilities, that lasted a couple of days, if I do recall correctly but then obligation to return to her planet due to matters she had to deal with caused her to leave and then she disappeared, supposedly dead, but I remember Kayne telling me that it was impossible and she just knew it. If there is one thing that I have come to believe even before Crystal became attuned to the Force, it was the fact that more often than not, she was, is right ... Now she is bossing boss man to sit down. It actually makes me smirk because I do know how Andros is, he usually doesn't like it when people touches him, and he doesn't like it when people tell him what to do. They probably might have signed their death sentence right then and there, but unsurprisingly Andros does comply and goes to sit, I even look at Serrin with a knowing and approval gaze.
"Now why does everyone have to kill my mojo right now!" I complain with an aggrieved expression when lover boy warns me that it is not what I think. I wasn't even thinking anything ... "Fine, lover boy but hear this!" I follow his movement and keep looking at him although I do have a mischievous expression on my features. "You and I will have a talk, and it concerns baby girl." It isn't probably what Crystal is thinking right now, but I am having a little payback here due to the fact that she has tasked me cook for a week, although sure Ryan did say that he is going to help out, which made me pat his hand earlier, but I still find that low, especially when gorgeous has just done it this evening with her Hapan bombshell. "And you better be there tomorrow Lover Boy, Pookie scored a date with his masseuse." I giggle at the thought remembering our sassy waiter who has been of great help for that to happen, but that aside, my gaze lands on Andros with a knowing smile. "One of the best ways to prove them wrong is to be with people, not necessarily us, but ones that you do not know particular so they perhaps can account for your presence?"
It is a suggestion, he can take it however he wants to, he is a big boy and I am sure that he clearly knows what he is doing, and perhaps I should probably shut up now. Which is what I am doing since I am more interested in how Andros and Serrin do interact, it appears and sounds to me that they are closer friend than I have imagined, since Andros did let her push him towards the seat over there. "Say, Pookie, maybe you know, maybe not, have you by any chance heard from Ares recently?" I know Ryan and Crystal haven't, so the chances of Franz hearing from Ares might be also close to nil but it doesn't hurt to ask. "Also, who is lover boy contacting, Mace? Or better yet, the Senator?"

Ryan knew that if he pushed it, asked really what was going on with Andros, he might be inviting a beat down and clearly that wasn't necessary, the guy really seemed exhausted and other than evading the question more or less, Ryan simply did not ask further. Instead he kept on drinking his beer while listening to the ongoing interaction and watching what had been going on. Ryan did not personally know Master Roma, actually this really was the first time that he had been in the same vicinity as her, but from the sound of it, she really did look calm and she even had the guts to usher Andros to the seat Franz had just vacated.
Soon enough though with Crystal and Atlantis return, he looked at his cousin before patting Lily's hand when she complained that everyone had been killing her mojo right now. "Tamer, cara." Ryan told her playfully before looking upwards. "Maybe another drink will help to get you more in touch with your mojo?" He suggested tentatively but he soon shuddered internally at the thought really. Ryan knew that with more drinks, it might turn into a bigger one woman show but then again, he had nothing against it really particularly when Lily always managed to make people laugh and make them temporarily forget about things by just having a good time.
Currently though he was really hoping that his cousins would be there tomorrow for Lily's infamous bikini fantasy whatever but Ryan also understood that their individual calling was demanding and so he wouldn't even hold it against them if they weren't there, but it would help certainly, both for Andros and Atlantis. The latter though had said that he needed to contact a few people, whoever those were, Ryan had no clue and he wasn't even going to start speculating at all. Despite the fact that the Mist Order had never been a part of the Jedi Order, Ryan admired the fact that Atlantis and Andros too had so many connections in the galaxy, maybe it shouldn't surprise him that much, but from what he could understand, Serrin had come all the way here to help the brothers out, to exonerate them from crimes that had never been committed by them.
"Yes, thank you Master Roma." Ryan reiterated his cousin's words, though hearing Andros say those words were surprising somewhat, but he knew that Andros meant those and Ryan also meant it. He had after all been a witness of when Andros had completely changed and despite looking collected right now even if he looked like a crap, sooner or later Andros might snap, at some points people snapped whether they liked it or not...

Lana shivered slightly and it caused her to squeeze briefly Elika's hand when she felt her ear being brushed purposely by Elika. Lana looked at her with a slyly expression before tilting her head dubiously to ask what that word meant. Smiling warmly before looking right back in front of her since everyone seemed to be here, and particularly Andros, whom Elika was really worried about, Delaana still waited to see if Andros needed anything at all, but it turned out that he didn't and he had asked her to call him by his name since they weren't at work. "So long as you call me by my name as well." It was a quid pro quo deal, to her since there was no way she was going to call him by his name when he kept calling her just like he always did.
Standing up when Elika pulled her up, Lana followed her in the kitchen's direction since everyone who needed to arrive had arrived and they needed to finish their cooking, which wouldn't take long at all. Lana smiled at everyone before excusing herself and following Elika to the kitchen. There was the word again after suggesting that Lana handled the salad, still she had that dubious expression on her features, even though she did know what the word meant but that wasn't important really whether she actually knew or not, what was important was that Elika had found a term of endearment for her and Lana walked towards Elika.
"I like the word, it sounds beautiful, but what does it mean?" Lana asked with genuine curiosity as she took one of Elika's hands and gave it a gentle squeze while she kept looking into the architect's eyes. Leaning slightly over to return that favor, if Lana could put it that way, Lana brushed teasingly Elika's earlobe before murmuring. "You are a tease by the way." Laughing softly as she pulled her head back Lana glanced briefly into Elika's eyes again wanting to kiss her once more but she knew that it probably wouldn't be a good idea right now especially that they still had some cooking to do.
"The salad it is for me, my Shakal." Grinning but unable to help herself though, Lana leaned forward and pecked Elika's lips, she finally released Elika's hand soon enough and started to prepare the salad after washing her hands. Lana looked into the cabinets and grabbed one of the big bowl so she could put the salad in there after making sure that there was enough leaf and vegetables to make it even. Working fluidly around the kitchen and getting what she needed on the way, she added some condiments so that it wouldn't taste so bland...

Crystal had not been surprised that Atlantis had noticed that a relationship was blossoming between Elika and Lana, and also she wasn't surprised when he had correctly guessed on the person who started to play matchmaker for the two women, it got her to nod with a knowing smile back in her room. Now she was back in the living room and Serrin was indeed staying back at the academy after she thanked Crystal for the invitation. Hopefully she would indeed be there, but still she wasn't going to push the Jedi Master if she felt that it was best not to. But she did want for Atlantis and Andros to be there, it would allow them some respite at least, if only temporarily and sometimes they could both be alike especially when it came to some wordings, like proven earlier in the precinct and right now as well. Nonetheless, Crystal looked at Serrin after Franz had said that one of them would give Serrin the tour. "You'll need one of the Councilors to access the academy." Crystal explained thoughtfully before smiling. "It's a little empty during the weekend but they are the ones that can outfit you with all the clearances you will need in order to access all of the areas around the place." From what she remembered, the Mist Order did house some holocrons that were given by the Vyridian brothers' now deceased uncle, it was a while ago and it was one of the most secured edifice on this planet on par with the government's building, as surprising as that sounded to a lot. But being only a few instructors and less caretakers save for the fact that from time to time some farmers did supply the academy, the place could be inaccessible.
She knew the ins and outs of the academy more or less for sometimes going there to train with either her brother or even Atlantis although before she could carry on with her thoughts, Crystal's attention soon turned in Lily's direction and she looked at her childhood friend with wide eyes. "Talk about me, Jankovic?!" Crystal asked with a strained voice before narrowing her eyes suspiciously at Lily. "Wait a second, don't go on another subject, when I am standing right here." Crystal said before nudging Lily's shoulder playfully, although she was wary about whatever talk Lily had to discuss with Atlantis, anything and everything was possible with her, and Crystal was really apprehending that fact. Looking upwards and groaning faintly, Crystal chuckled and shook her head soon enough, actually she did not care one bit about what Lily needed to tell Atlantis, it would probably be much more awkward for him than it would be awkward for her...
She had her gaze towards the window where she could clearly see Atlantis since he got rid of the mist before heading over there, he was a little far away for her to pick up what he was saying but she could tell that he was talking and unless he had gone completely crazy which was highly doubtful than he really was contacting some people outside of Umgul perhaps. "No, he isn't talking or leaving a message to Mace or Raan, he said something about conclave..." That was as far as Crystal would go even though she had picked up a few words and could extrapolate, unfortunately though, since she had chosen her own path, she knew that she wouldn't automatically be privy to everything Atlantis was doing, but putting that matter aside, she instead focused onto Andros and Serrin more importantly. "A few weeks ago and even before then, Atlantis had been actively trying to find you," Crystal told Serrin with a meaningful grin. "But what they have both said, thank you for coming in these trying times, I also do hope that sooner or later the truth will come to light. They do not deserve what is happening." Crystal said softly, as mushy as that sounded or whatever, they really did not, not when Andros had been working so much to change several regulations on how the planet was run. She knew that, Lily knew that, so when did the killing people actually got to his agenda? Public opinion could be very fickle and something told her that whoever really did those things would keep on creating a bigger fire to undermine not only Andros but also the whole government and along the way the Mist Order.

Lifting her free hand and placing it gently on Delaana's cheek when asked what Ceesi means, Elikapeka looks back into Delaana's blue eyes and smiles as she tells her softly, "Precious. Unconsciously leaning in closer to her when Delaana brushes her earlobe, Elika is distracted enough by what the simple gesture does to her that it takes a moment for her to process what Delaana had said afterwards. Leaning back and arching an eyebrow with an amused, still somewhat pleasantly distracted grin, Elika tries to come up with something playfully flirtatious or at least witty to come back with, but only manages to ask with an innocent batting of her eyelids and a tone of disbelief, A tease, my Ceesi? Me?"
Standing still for a moment to collect herself and remember why they are in the kitchen after Delaana pecks her on the lips, a playful pout on her lips as Delaana moves away to get to work on the salad, Elika then smiles as she watches Delaana smittenly for a moment before sighing and shaking her head as she makes her way to the stove to check on the sauce before preparing the pasta and bread. As anticipated, the finishing touches on the meal do not take long, and soon enough the sauce, pasta, salad, and toasted garlic bread are all finished. Looking over a shoulder as she starts putting the bread into a basket, Elika asks, "What do you think, my Ceesi? Serve everyone in the living room, or set everything up in the dining room and make them all move? Oh, she says as she walks over to Delaana with one hand under a spoon with some of the sauce on it, and you need to tell me how this turned out. Smiling kittenishly as she moves closer to Delaana than is actually necessary and lifting the spoon to her lips, Elika waits until she has tasted it to ask, Well, what's the verdict, my Ceesi?"
