Lakehouse - Pool
Crystal had taken a little while to get ready after she had dragged Atlantis knowing that he needed to get ready also. But now she was finding herself on the deck wearing a one shoulder orange top that covered her till mid thighs with her bikini beneath. She knew that Atlantis would probably need a little more time, especially since he said that he perhaps was going to reconstruct his lightsaber, a decision he wasn't sure of just yet. Either way, she again had refused to get into that talk about yesterday because she didn't want her mood to dampen and she did not want to also dampen his mood.
Finally she found herself next to where the drinks and glasses were located and looked at the bottles and some ingredients that were brought out. It appeared to her that this was definitely going to be a cocktail, barbecue gathering and from the looks of it, the cocktails were either going to be margaritas or daiquiris. Good choice, Crystal supposed and she finally turned to look at the people over there with a noticeable smile before looking most particularly at Lily and Elika. "I suppose that this day is going to be exclusively a no drama day?" Crystal playfully asked, after if that were the case, she supposed that she would be punching or kicking the person bringing drama, because they all needed some downtime right now before embracing the inevitable tomorrow.
"So tell me, what can I do to help?" She asked dubiously before looking at her childhood friend with a playfully expression. "You are grilling, right? And before you ask, yes that does count." Bobbling her head from side to side in a teasing fashion, she then added on. "As long as you don't burn anything." Crystal looked momentarily towards the sky, no mist in this area and it was so refreshing to have the sun when usually they did not, depending on where they were located. She was grateful that the Senator had been considerate about this tidbit, and she felt that she still owed him a lot for this. But then the Senator seemed to have disappeared from the public eye, and she wondered if he actually was alright.
Casting her thoughts aside as she remembered that she shouldn't focus on those things for it wasn't going to help her at all, instead she walked over towards the pool to test the water, and it was a bit chill, "Baby girl, mind pushing the button later when Elika is done right there, we need to heat the pool a little."

Lakehouse - Pool
"Just so, Elikapeka tells Franz with a smile when he asks if his outfit is simple and not too ostentatious, adding cheerfully, Just the thing for lounging around the pool, she crinkles her nose, though I guess you may want to change the pants for a swim suit in case Ayodele wants to swim? Shrugging her shoulders, not one to talk about swimming since she will not be doing so either, Elika gives Franz an amused arch of an eyebrow accompanied by a puzzled smile when he says that he isn't sure whether or not he has Ayodele's comm frequency, which seems odd since he either does or does not, but decides not to comment other than the silent question implicit in her expression. Shaking her head when Franz offers to take over the cleaning of the pool, Elika says, No, no, you just sit and relax Pookie, I've got it under control."
Shaking her head with an amused smile when Lily rambles on about her outfit, Elika doesn't comment since doing so would seem to her like fishing for more compliments than Lily has already given her, and then answers the litany of questions about her drink choice by pursing her lips theatrically with a deeply in thought expression for a moment before replying, "Sugar, frozen, and . . . blumfruit. If we have blumfruit. If not, just surprise me with the flavor. Something sweet preferably. Shaking her head with a laugh when Lily asks if she needs any help, Elika tells her, No, you just worry about the bevvies and I'll handle the cleaning beautiful."
Nodding with a completely serious expression when Crystal reaffirms the resolution to make the day a drama free one, Elika says without any hint of playfullness in her tone, "Yes please hon'. Having a day without any of the drama that will still be there when tomorrow comes sounds like precisely what everyone needs to make things at least marginally more manageable, and Elika sincerely hopes that they can all make it through the day drama-free as planned. Chuckling quietly when Crystal tells Lily that the grilling will count so long as nothing is burned, Elika holds up a hand after Crystal then asks Lily to turn the pool's heater on, saying, I've got it beautiful," since she is getting close to the heater as she makes her way around the edge of the pool while vacuuming the bottom.

"I have swimming shorts under my pants." Franz said with a sheepish grin again, a reason why he had those loose baggy pants. It would be easier for him to undress if and when the time came for swimming and taking a dip in the pool. He did not miss the silent implicit question from Elika's expression especially when it had seemed like he wasn't sure about having Ayodele's comm frequency. Franz didn't want to worry Elika but he supposed that it was preferable to let her know. "Remember when I got hit by a lampshade?" It was a rhetorical statement, he was pretty sure that she remembered that especially that event had caused him to revert to a pre-teen. "Ryan said that my cerebral cortex might still have been affected mildly." Sometimes, indeed his short term memory was ridiculous, he had a hard time remembering stuff especially when it happened very recently. Franz knew that he had seen Ayodele yesterday, that he had a walk through the park with her, and about those small details about comm frequencies and what not, he couldn't recall at all.
He still remembered major things, before he had been putting that under the guise that his mind was going through that infamous selective memory but more and more lately since he had been spending time with the others, genuinely having fun, he would forget a part of it, he had no idea how that mambo jumbo worked but at least he knew that he was a little more like his former self right? That aside though since he didn't want to worry Elika at all, he looked at her with a genuine smile before inclining his head. "Don't worry too much about it, alright? I am still getting some help." He reassured her before turning to look at Lily who was asking him if he was a lightweight, perhaps he was turning out to be especially since he hadn't been drinking a whole lot and particularly for a while. "Maybe a little, I don't know, but I don't want to take any chances."
Now Lily was asking for how they liked their drinks, it really had that much different ways to make those said drinks when he thought about it, instead of saying how he wanted it, he actually didn't care right now, he just pointed at Elika to concur with her. Franz glanced at his chrono, seeing that it was still early, so he looked at Lily thoughtfully wondering if he really should go find Ayodele now, perhaps she was still sleeping and perhaps she would see that as him being too clingy, he didn't want that at all. "Erm, I probably should wait an hour before the time I told her I would pick her up," Rubbing the back of his neck, Franz went to sit down and actually try and figure out if indeed he got her comm frequency, he probably should just check his comlink but he preferred to try and recall that moment instead of choosing the easiest way out...

Sugar, frozen and blumfruit ... Do we have blumfruits? Nibbling my lower lip in deep thought, I am about to head back inside to check if we do have some but baby girl's arrival stops me on the spot and I look at her with an amused expression, "Yes, I am declaring this day to be a drama free day, it better not come in the middle of my bikini fantasy, because I will go lawyer mode. That said, Pookie is staying on the safe side, I don't blame him and that is something I can understand, so instead of insisting he drinks something alcoholic, I jog back to the bar we have there, and pour some ice water into a glass to give that to him. Here you go, Pookie." Winking at him playfully before looking at baby girl with a jaded expression about burning the meat there on the barbecue, I poke my tongue out at her before putting a finger up to request for a moment to find those blumfruits, which we turn out to have.
"You do nothing, unless you want to make some cocktails and help me out? Since knowing baby girl, she always needs to do something, just like gorgeous right there, which was why I have just put my thumb up to indicate previously that I got it loud and clear that she has it, far from me to step on her toes. Therefore I don't even go on contradicting that. We have the blumfruits, so sugar, frozen blumfruit cocktails coming right up." I have even grabbed the sugar back in the kitchen and enough blumfruits to grind and get it mixed with the alcohol anyways, that should be enough to make an entire bucket of drink. If we turn out to not have enough, I am sure that we can move on to another cocktail, but I should probably start with one glass right now for gorgeous and one for me also and even Kayne perhaps, unless she prefers another drink.
"Where is Lover Boy? I dubiously ask her with a playful expression since I am pretty sure baby girl might have been the cause of his hold up, for as long as I remember, Atlantis never leaves without saying goodbye first or even something along the lines of 'see you later'. Pookie, please do stop wallowing for a little moment, just relax and don't brood while sitting there, just embrace the day and I am sure that you will have fun in getting to know Ayodele further, right? Either way, comm frequency or not, just go pick her up, ring at her door, say that you are there and that if she wishes it, she can come, Looking a gorgeous playfully once I am done with her drink, I leave it there on the counter for when gorgeous is done with her cleaning there. Gorgeous, the Hapan Bombshell is coming sooner, right?"

Ryan had been awaken earlier by his girlfriend, he felt that he was a little groggy but then again he only had himself to blame. He was doing nothing of his life right now but just helping out in the lakehouse, but when his sister needed to be taught further, he would happily oblige, last night though their sharing about his life back on Coruscant and Naboo had downed his mood a little but hopefully with this new day, it would be a new start. Ryan stepped out onto the deck with already his swimming shorts, his white shirt was hanging on his left shoulder and he was still rubbing his eyes to will himself to wake up completely. He thought that at least showering would do the trick, but not really.
Upon finding his girlfriend by the bar there with that big amount of blumfruit, he chuckled understanding where it all went, since he had been looking for that in the fridge for a little breakfast. "Morning everyone." Ryan waved his hand to everyone and grabbed his shirt from his shoulder to put that on to begin with, since it appeared like Elika was still cleaning the pool, he guessed. He had half a mind to jump right in for a bomb just to wake up entirely since he knew that the water would be chilly but his plans went down the drain.
Instead, he went around the bar and looked at Lily's outfit before smirking and then he gave her a big smack on the lips. "Well I am glad to have been allowed to take part of this bikini fantasy of yours." He smirked once more and went to see his sister to kiss her cheek and he noticed his cousin there, he looked like he seemed lost in thoughts. "Franz, you good?" Ryan asked dubiously before turning to look at Elika waving his hand to her again. Perhaps he would have greeted her the same way he just greeted his sister, but he figured that it would have been an unwelcomed gesture for they were that close, so he settled for a wave of his hand.
Since he had caught Lily's question about Delaana, he looked at Elika dubiously and offered if she wished it to finish what she was doing so that she would be well rested and relaxed before his sister's PA came here, but that was her choice, if she refused then he would probably occupy himself in tidying up everything around the pool, which was what he was doing and he guessed that towels were needed, so he went to retrieve that into the cupboard there and even some bathrobes if needed be and he placed everything on a lounge seat there.

Lily going into lawyer mode if someone ruined the bikini fantasy day, that was perfect for Crystal. Even when Elika concurred about the no drama day, Crystal smiled and blinked once to let her know that she was not only all for that, but she was definitely grateful that it wasn't going to be a drama day because yesterday and last night had just given her a headache from all of those questions. Walking over the bar to check what Lily had been doing, Crystal recognized immediately what her childhood friend intended to do so she started to crush the ice from their cube forms as she had overheard something about frozen. Putting the ice in a bowl aside to let Lily do her thing, Crystal turned around only to see her brother emerging from the lakehouse.
"Buongiorno, Ry." Crystal greeted him returning the kiss on his own cheek before looking at her childhood friend with an impassive expression. "He is getting ready, you do know he takes care of his appearances, and I don't see him meeting other people any different." Crystal nonchalantly replied before turning around to see that both Ryan and Elika were scurrying around the pool while Franz seemed to be sitting there in deep thought. It didn't look good at all and judging from Lily's words, he seemed to be perhaps thinking about contacting Ayodele now or not. Walking in his direction and sitting down next to him, she nudged his shoulder and looked at him with an encouraging smile.
"Pookie, you do have her full name, don't you?" Crystal asked him rhetorically, she knew Ayodele's last name at least and perhaps there was a possibility that Franz had forgotten, she would understand why though because not only her brother but also her boyfriend had explained that to her. "Ayodele Ibori, you could probably search it over the directory if she is listed publicly, otherwise you can always show up at her apartment building bearing a flower or something then let her know that if she was free now, you two could make your way here?" Crystal suggested to him encouragingly with a knowing smile.
She figured though that Franz would know best, as she didn't know Ayodele personally or how she would react upon seeing Franz there earlier than expected, but she did always like men who took initiatives, but that was her own personal choice, after she couldn't speak for Ayodele. "Either way, no pressure from me, you do what you feel comfortable with, alright?" Squeezing his forearm gently, Crystal stood up from the seat and stretched a little wondering if Delaana was indeed going to come sooner or not...

Delaana, after getting the comm from Elika, had made her way to the lakehouse with the help of an airtaxi. Preferring that means of transportation as she was very certain that alcohol beverages were going to be involved there was no way that she was going to pilot her own airspeeder and she preferred to play it on the safe side really...
Back in her apartment she had debated on what to wear and she settled for a casual dress, already wearing her bikini, her hair in a bun and just overall casual... Ringing at the front door, Lana check herself one last time in the mirror before putting that back into her bag waiting to be admitted inside.
She had to admit that she was definitely looking forward to spending some more time with Elika and getting to know her better. Lana knew that it would take some time, but time was what she had and she would make the most of it, starting today...

Lakehouse
Atlantis had gotten ready simply and casually, jeans with a dark shirt underneath his hoodie. Plus after debating for a little while, he did not reconstruct his lightsaber, instead for the time being he placed the crystal in his jeans' pocket and made sure he had securely attached his two other lightsabers to his wrists, causing his signature to disappear entirely for the time being. Just when he walked out of Crystal's room, he heard the doorbell and yelled out towards the deck. "I got it!" Walking towards the front door, he opened it and saw that it was Delaana, stepping aside to let her in, Atlantis closed the door behind her before gesturing to his girlfriend's PA to follow him towards the pool.
"Ms. Wan has arrived." He informed everyone with a warm smile before glancing at the Hapan woman perplexedly. "Would you like anything to drink? Coffee? Soda, water, cocktail?" Since Atlantis had noticed that the bar seemed to be filled with alcoholic beverages and the cocktail on the counter top was a dead giveaway, while he waited for Lana's reply, he looked at his cousin, namely Franz for now, and he wondered if the man was alright, but anything and everything, he was sure that Franz would say something about it. "Franz, Ryan." He greeted the two of them since he had not really seen them earlier, and it appeared like his brother seemed to be having a moment alone, perhaps he was training further, or whatever Andros did usually in the morning.
Finally looking at Franz again, Atlantis pursed his lips momentarily. "Franz, mind dropping me off to the precinct later when you are ready to go, unless you are leaving much later on, then I can just walk over there." Atlantis said thoughtfully, he didn't want to impose his timeline on his cousin and he really didn't want to impose himself by default anyways. Walking towards Crystal, he looked at her with a warm smile before kissing her forehead, knowing and remembering that now she was waiting for her other brother's arrival too. Something about it being serious matters, but since apparently this was going to be a no drama day, he just smiled to his girlfriend and murmured those three sacred words to her.

Tapping the side of her head with an amused smile when Franz explains that he has his swim suit on under his pants, Elikapeka tells him, "Clever," and then arches an eyebrow with an expression somewhere between confused and skeptical when he goes on to describe how his memorable encounter with a lampshade has left him with some challenges where his memory is concerned; the accident had occurred so long ago, and had not seemed sufficient to cause any lasting neurological issues, making Elika uncertain whether or not Franz is being serious or making a joke, but she decides to take him at his word and even grants his request not to worry about him, or at least to keep her worry to herself.
Nodding with a cheerful smile when Lily asks whether Delaana will be coming a bit earlier than the other guests, Elika looks from her friend to Ryan when he comes out and says good morning to everyone, returning his wave with one of her own. Doing a last walk around the pool to make sure that she hasn't missed any spots, Elika sees that she has not and so lifts the pole and vacuum from the pool so that she can put it away. She is coiling the vacuum's hose up when Atlantis arrives with Delaana, and Elika's expression immediately brightens as she smiles and waves a greeting to them both before finishing the work of storing the vacuum, pole, and hose.
Joining everyone near the counter where Lily has been preparing the drinks, Elika gives Delaana a more restrained greeting than she would were they alone since she feels a little self-conscious with the number of other people around at the moment, clasping her hand and leaning in to give her a quick peck on the cheek and then says quietly, "Good morning, my Ceesi, and adds, I missed you," as she gives her hand a squeeze before releasing it.

It had been a while since that lampshade accident, that much he admitted, and Ryan did tell him back then that his brain might have been affected but that would only last for a few days, and since then Franz always put that under the category that his brain was still messed but truth be told? His memories were really starting to be selective, one thing he knew for certain right now, he still couldn't recall getting Ayodele's comm frequency, but at least he had her address. Perhaps he should just show up there at her front door, ring bearing a single flower or even bring her some coffee since it did look like to him that she enjoyed coffee from their yesterday meeting anyways.
"Yeah, I am good, nothing to worry about McFreaky." Franz waved his hand dismissively before smiling, and so he had potentially decided, although Crystal's nudging and giving him an alternative, that was a very good one. There was that or he could ask for another favor anyways from Horsea, but that was too much of personal gain and he wasn't about to let the Deputy Director do something like this for his own selfish reasons, so he put that in a lid and shoved it away. "You sure? I don't want to be seen that clingy or that desperate or something..." He looked at Crystal, for he was genuinely unsure on how to proceed, it was early, still early for him to knock onto Ayodele's front door. What if she was still sleeping? What if she would have an unwelcome reaction that would blow everything.
Another what if...
Boy this was starting to be complicated, and he was definitely out of it when it came to the dating game, flirting and whatever. Sheesh... He shuddered at the thought and nibbled his lower lip until he noticed that Delaana had arrived, and he had to admit what she was wearing too was nice, heck what all of the women were wearing right now was nice. He really had half a mind to cover his eyes the entire time because this was turning out to be too much for him.
"Um," Franz looked up at Atlantis who was requesting to be dropped off, and he nodded a few times uncertainty written on his features. Thankfully though, it was Atlantis that had enabled him to take that said decision, and he nodded before standing up from the lounge seat. "No, I mean yeah I can do that, and no you don't have to walk." Furrowing his eyebrows as he looked at his cousin, it was surprising to hear that he didn't have an airspeeder right now, but whatever. "So, I have decided, I am going to see if she is available now after I drop off Model Face to his appointment." Franz finally said after he joined everyone by the bar and he smiled at Crystal's PA. "Morning, great to see you again." Franz gestured to both Crystal and Atlantis and waved his hand in their direction. "You two do what you gotta do, and I will be waiting by the airspeeder." Franz looked at everyone and no one in particular.
"Say, do you need any extra things as I am heading to the city, I can take care of that?" He offered, maybe more blumfruits, maybe something else or whatever. He did not know currently.

Well one invitee coming earlier, what a joyous prospect for Gorgeous ... It shows on my features that I am glad indeed that Delaana is going to arrive sooner than planned and I am smiling knowingly at Elika. Her cheerfulness says it all, my smile says it all, she is happy, I am happy the galaxy is in perfect order at least for today. I know what else is in perfect order right now, When hot stuff arrives here on the deck, I cannot help but to stare at him, as swallow that may sound, I do love his body and his tattoos, particular his tattoos. Yep, nothing else to see here, nope ... "Uh huh ... I distractedly reply to him when he tells me that he is glad to be part of this bikini fantasy. You know have Pookie to thank for that, Hot Stuff." I inform him dismissively, after all I have upheld my word, Pookie manages to invite Ayodele, the other guys could be here, otherwise I was going to tell all of them to take a walk, whatever.
"I did tell Lover Boy earlier to look alive, I suppose that since he is getting ready right now, that is a plus and I am also guessing and hoping that he is just going to embrace this day as a no drama day also because we all need it. I knew I heard the doorbell ... Smiling when seeing not only Lover Boy and the Hapan Bombshell making their way here, I smile at the two of them and particularly Delaana before looking at her asking the same thing Lover Boy has just asked with my gaze. Blumfruits, unless you'd rather start nice and slow." I am pursing my lips because those words just tumbled out all by themselves and yes my mind, again, has gone to its usual place, but I am looking at Gorgeous right now with a somewhat jaded expression. Really, just a quick peck on the cheek? That is it?
I decide not to get into that and instead, I point out to the cocktail I have just made, which I believe it's perfectly balanced and not very strong in alcohol. "This is yours, gorgeous. Winking at her playfully before looking again particularly at the Hapan Bombshell and everyone else, but before asking them what they want to drink, I turn my attention onto Pookie who has offered to get some more blumfruits since he is heading to the city to no doubt drop off Lover Boy and pick up Ayodele. More blumfruits if you can indeed, Pookie, thanks. Just tell me how much I owe you later, alright? I am more or less the host of this wicked event anyways, so I do believe that it is my duty to pay him back, but that being said, I look back at everyone again and ask. Now, what can I get for all of you? Also my dearest Hapan Bombshell, please do make yourself comfortable, drop the bag and whatever else you need to drop." For crying out loud! Again mind in the gutter. Can't help it, it's just an automatic reflex for me anyways. My statement does make me giggle but I soon clear my throat and purse my lips with a very fake innocent expression.

Delaana had smiled gratefully at Atlantis when he had opened the door for her, she soon followed her boss' boyfriend and the first thing she had noticed had been Elikapeka, since she was the sole red hair there, and it stood out the most. It also definitely helped that she could see everyone clear as day since the mist was not present in this area anyways. Lana had witnessed that last night but now that it was during the day, it was even better. Still holding onto her bag, Lana let her sunglasses sit atop of her head and greeted everyone in return particularly Elika with a warm smile upon feeling the peck on her cheek. Though Lana would have preferred something more, it was evident by her gaze, she didn't do anything that would make everyone and particularly in this case, Elika, uncomfortable. "Good morning, my Shakal," Lana murmured softly before leaning over to peck Elika's cheek in return and she briefly tilted her head on the side to murmur right up against her ear. "As I."
Pulling her head back with a warm smile, last night she had been tempted to comm Elika and she figured that the Architect might have been exhausted too after everything that had happened throughout the day, so Lana had decided against it and just let her have that well deserved rest. "Good morning everyone, and thank you for having me here." Walking onto one of those lounge seats, she placed her bag down on top of it before releasing her hair to let them flow freely down her back.
It really sounded to her, at least, that everyone seemed to have started this day in good spirits, if Lily had been speaking with risqué innuendos, then all was well Lana guessed. "I do like to start things nice and slow indeed." She retorted jokingly and she knew that she was inviting further comments from the AG, but whatever, at this point she didn't care whatsoever, but she did glance at Elika teasingly before winking at her and inclining her head back to Lily. "I'll have what she is having, please and thank you." She finally said before turning around to just look at the area that was just lit by the sunlight and overall natural lighting of the day. She had definitely missed this, just to be outdoors without the mist around, but she figured she'd have ample of times to enjoy that while she was enjoying everyone's company and especially Elika's.
Taking the Architect's hand, Lana wrapped her hand around hers and looked at her with a warm smile. "I do trust you have had a nice sleep and did not work, otherwise I will really feel bad for not interrupting you last night." She finally said coyly.

"Yes, Pookie I am very sure, and besides it's not like you are going to force her to join you right about now, right? You'll just offer her that chance to come here earlier just enjoying a less crowded moment?" Crystal suggested thoughtfully, all in all that would indeed depend on Franz and how he voiced out his offer, but she trusted him to know what was best anyways, but also she was poking in the dark for she definitely didn't know Ayodele besides the fact that she worked at TaSpa! and the woman seemed receptive to Franz's advance while they were by the bar.
Noticing that Atlantis had arrived here on the deck with Delaana, Crystal waved her hand to the Hapan woman and smiled warmly, truth be told, there were no thanks needed here, besides everyone enjoyed her company and even more Elika. "Please, don't mention it, just lounge around the pool, enjoy the bright sunny day." Crystal was about to add something along the lines of with Elika, but she figured that it wasn't necessary anyways seeing the way they had greeted one another.
"Baby girl, mind making me one too, please? Thank you." Crystal smiled before gesturing to the blumfruits, with the rate that it was already going, Lily should probably mix the whole thing and considering that she had requested from Franz to get more if he could, that would be alright. So it appeared to her that Atlantis was going to the precinct by Franz dropping him off. Crystal was glad that Franz had finally taken his decision and she smiled knowingly at him before looking at her boyfriend.
Stepping away from the crowd momentarily, Crystal placed her hands onto his cheeks and stood on her tip toes to peck his lips. "Don't try to overdo it, alright? I am sure that the Jedi who came here to help you out will have everything under control..." Crystal didn't know the Calmcacil family, but she did know Serrin. Crystal knew that the Twi'lek Jedi Master would do everything in her power to exonerate both Andros and Atlantis from this situation. That aside, Crystal knew that she and Atlantis still had to talk. There were a lot of things they had to talk about but right now wasn't the time since she had called for a drama free day to begin with.
"I will see you later, and may the Force be with you, Atlantis." Kissing his lips one last time, she released him entirely before returning to the bar area where her childhood friend was and just so that Crystal had something to do right now, she helped out in making the basis of the cocktail so that it would be done quicker than it would usually take at least. "By the way, everyone, just let Lily know when you are hungry." Crystal stifled a laughter as she looked at her friend with a playful expression. "Because she is the one who is going to handle the grill."

Elikapeka feels a flush rise to her cheeks even as gooseflesh ripples down her arms when Delaana whispers against her ear, and finds herself rendered momentarily incapable of speech, only able to smile with an entirely theatrically annoyed arched eyebrow when Lily, being Lily, makes a classic Lily comment. Giving Delaana's hand a squeeze when her response to Lily proves that she isn't at all perturbed by Lily's sense of humor, Elika finds her voice in time to tell Lily, "Thank you beautiful, as she reaches for the drink Lily has indicated is hers, and then takes a sip and says, Mmmm, nice work. I nominate you as bartender in addition to grillmaster," Elika tells her with an amused grin.
The mental blocks put in place to keep her from digging into the matters those who put the blocks in place would not have her access keeping her from recalling what had given rise to her withdrawal from the conversation last evening that threatened to make avoiding digging into those matters problematic, Elika assumes that her lightweight status when it comes to drinking led her to fall asleep earlier and easier than normal, and so her tone is amused and unconcerned when she answers Delaana's question about how she slept, "No, no working. I actually fell asleep pretty early for a change, she crinkles her nose as she admits with a mildly embarrassed smile, If I pass my limit, which isn't terribly high, sleep tends to happen. Arranging her features into a playful pout, Elika leans closer and says quietly, An interruption from you, even without work to interrupt, would have been nice anyway though my Ceesi. Giving Delaana's hand a squeeze, Elika whispers teasingly, But you're here now, so I'll forgive you."
Taking a sip of her her drink, Elika nods her agreement when Crystal tells everyone that Lily will be handling the cooking for the day, then looks at Lily and winks as she adds, "Be sure to let her know when you need drinks too, since she's also our lovely bartender today. I can't think of anything we need Pookie," Elika tells Franz when he asks if there is anything he might pick up when in the city, and then looks over to Crystal and Lily questioningly in case they have any suggestions or requests.
Resting her free hand beneath her chin, thumb keeping her sleeve in place, Elika idly stirs her drink with her other hand as she asks Dealaana, "How was the rest of your night last night? Did you get to read in front of the fire like you'd planned?"

Lakehouse - Pool
Making a circle sign with my index and thumb fingers when baby girl asks me to do the same cocktail for her, and also the Hapan Bombshell it seems, I am focused onto gorgeous right now and smirk at the thought of being the grillmaster. "Cocktails are my fortes, I tell her knowingly with a playful wink before glancing at the grill with pursed lips. Revisit the title for the grill later alright?" Winking playfully at gorgeous, I am obviously joking because I am pretty sure that I will not burn anything but no one knows that and I am just rolling with it, with what Kayne has said earlier.
We should have enough, the ice in the freezer will provide that for any additional beverage before glancing at the bottles of alcohol here. "Addendum to the blumfruits, Pookie, a few more bottle of Tequilas, please make that six. Yes I am quite aware that is a lot but I prefer to think large instead of having a shortage anyways. Looking over at baby girl, considering that I am on the verge of being done with her cocktail and the Hapan Bombshell's as well, I pick up the glasses and hand those to them. Here you go ladies, now why don't the two of you, My gaze is onto that couple really because quite honestly, I am not going to blame them at all if they have their own little conversation there. Go sit down over there and just enjoy the sun, already okay?"
Glancing at baby girl with a knowing smile, since I have seen her earlier speaking with Lover Boy right there on the side, I do look at Atlantis soon enough because grinning once more. "Chop chop Lover Boy, get moving already so that you can come back earlier, your girl is going to be drinking ... It's not namana, so no that is not going to get CKayne perform a lapdance or start pole dancing, whatever but I still know what the effect of alcohol has on her. See you later, Lover Boy."
Fixing myself up finally with my own cocktail and anyone else's, I pick up the glass and purposely go on the other side of the pool, dragging Kayne with me, but we are relatively on the side and not in front of Elika and Lana because I really don't want to make them uncomfortable. "Is Boss Man still sleeping?" Come to think of it, I haven't seen him yet, so hopefully he is in fact catching up on his sleep, he sure has been needing that. Taking a sip of my cocktail and looking at baby girl dubiously because after all she has been awake far longer than I.

Delaana sighed in theatrical relief when Elika told her that she was forgiven due to her presence here and now, that caused Lana to give a gentle squeeze to Elika's hand before smiling warmly. Upon getting her drink from Lily, Lana raised her glass as a thanks and smiled to the Attorney General before glancing at the lounge seats over there where she had put her stuff down. Inclining her head on the side to indicate to Elika that they should probably head there and actually listen to the lawyer, Lana led the way over there before putting her glass down on the table and letting her bag on the floor soon enough.
Sitting down and crossing one leg over her other on her thigh, Lana looked at Elika with a warm smile before tucking some of her own hair behind her ear. "I did not get to reading last night," Lana started to reply to Elika's question before picking up her glass to take a sip of her cocktail, enjoying the taste of it, Lily definitely knew her cocktails, that was undeniable. "Not because due to laziness, but because I was certain that I wouldn't be able to concentrate on what I was reading." For obvious reasons, Lana supposed and it showed by her looking into Elika's eyes playfully.
"Instead, I have settled for a bath and a glass of wine, it was nice but at the same time I was wanting for it to be today already." Nibbling the corner of her lower lip faintly, Lana returned her glass onto the table and smiled once more as she took again Elika's hand lacing their fingers together. "But tell me, earlier you have said that you had a limit, what would that limit be, so at least I can make the most of it before you fall asleep on me." She was joking, that was a fact, and she didn't mean anything by it anyways, but considering that she had overheard Lily asking from Franz to bring back six other bottles, Lana figured that this was going to turn out into a cocktail party somewhat. "You don't have to answer that, my Shakal, although I do plan to make the most of it today." Since Lana noticed that the others seemed to have settled on the other side of the pool somewhat on a side, she turned her head and quickly gave Elika a chaste peck onto her lips.
"Are you going to be swimming later?" Lana asked softly through her lashes as she looked straight at Elika with a playful expression.

Considering that Lily had already put on a request for the extra things that Franz could get if and when he actually could, Crystal just looked at her childhood friend having heard earlier to put on hold the grillmaster title. "A fire extinguisher, maybe?" Crystal jokingly suggested before looking at Lily again and nudging her playfully as she waved her hand dismissively in Franz's direction. "Just what the relentless one has requested, we have everything else we need. Thanks Franz." She both reassured him and looked at him gratefully before gesturing towards indoors to let him know that he should probably go and drag Atlantis towards the exit of the lakehouse so that the two of them could already do what they needed to do.
But it was with narrowed eyes that she looked at Lily when she too ushered Atlantis to get moving. "Just to annoy you, baby girl, I won't be drinking." That was obviously a joke because there was no way that she was just going to lounge around the pool and not drink those drinks made by Lily. Her childhood friend always did good cocktails, when she was in the mood. "It truly is a miracle sweetie, not only she is the bartender for the day, but she is also going to cook. We should probably have more of these type of events if that makes Lily to do those things." Crystal giggled softly and grabbed her drink that was being handed to her, she raised her glass as a toast before moving to one of those lounge seats following Lily but also leaving both Lana and Elika on their own.
Removing her shirt first after putting her glass down, Crystal sat down on the lounge seat wearing a black bikini after grabbing the suncream on the table and looked at her childhood friend when asked about Andros. Crystal tried to recall if she had seen him this morning, but to be perfectly honest, it seemed like he had been gone already, perhaps he went to deal with something first, or perhaps he was asleep and maybe moved to another room so that he wouldn't be in the way? Right now Crystal had no idea. "I have no idea baby girl, I haven't seen him this morning to be honest with you." Putting the cream down after applying some on her body and getting some help from Lily for her back, Crystal traded the cream for the drink and took a sip of it before laying down on the lounge seat just to relax.
"Either way, I am sure that he is fine, who knows maybe he is still around, training more?" Crystal suggested nonchalantly although as selfish as that sounded, at least her thoughts, she currently didn't want to get into overly thinking, because that was going to down her mood. "If by some twisted way, I do fall asleep, please do wake me up because I don't want to burn on just one side."

"Ok beautiful, Elikapeka tells Lily with an amused grin when told to wait on the conferring of the title of Grill Master on her until later, crinkling her nose as she says teasingly, We should probably wait until after we've tasted what you make, right? Trying, and failing, to stifle a laugh when Crystal suggests that Franz grab a fire extinguisher while in the city, Elika gives Lily an apologetic shrug after laughing, and then nods as she agrees with Crystal's suggestion that they have more events like the one today so that Lily has opportunities to hone her cooking and mixology skills, I know, right?"
Arching an eyebrow with an amused smile when Lily suggests, not so subtly, that Elika and Delaana head over to one area while she and Crystal head for another, Elika smiles when Delaana nods towards the suggested area, giving her hand a gentle squeeze as she follows after her. Sitting down beside Delaana, Elika smiles after she explains how she spent her evening, looking down bashfully when Delaana claims she would have been too distracted to read, "Oh, really? Not so bold as to ask what would have distracted her despite the fact that Delaana's expression makes it clear enough what the source of distraction would be, Elika takes a sip of her drink and smiles when Delaana describes how she wound up spending the evening, glancing upwards as she opines, That sounds like a pretty relaxing alternative to reading anyway, and then laughs when asked what her limit is, smiling shyly as she says, It, um, really depends on the pacing and the drinks in question. Arching an eyebrow playfully, Elika says, I'll try and pace myself to avoid the sleeping my Ceesi, just for you. Her eyes closed as she enjoys the aftereffects of Delaana's chaste kiss, Elika smiles as she shakes her head and says, Mmm? No, no I don't swim actually. Opening her eyes and shrugging, Elika says, If you go in though, I'll just dangle my legs over the side of the pool or something. Having one of the, for her, inevitable moments where she finds herself uncertain of what to say, Elika laughs a bit nervously as she reaches up with her free hand absently to fiddle with one of her necklaces as she asks, Are you, um, sure that I can't get you anything else? To nibble on maybe? We have, um, some crackers and cheese, or fruit and vegetable slices?"

Lakehouse
Atlantis had been grateful for his girlfriend's encouragements. Even though she had told him to not overdo it, he felt like she had said those words in a different meaning. Atlantis guessed she had a point but fact remained, even though at the forefront the others were going to pick up the investigation, he'd still do things on the side and perhaps he would uncover a few things more.
Smiling one last time at everyone, he inclined his head and bade them farewell before walking off with his cousin who would be piloting to the precinct. "Did you by the way see my brother this morning?" Atlantis asked dubiously to Franz, as when he did get up before everyone else, Andros no longer seemed to have been on the couch where he had settled the man last night. It was either Andros left ealier to take care of a few things, or perhaps he was still in the forest that surrounded the lakehouse to train.
Atlantis wasn't worried at all, he knew that Andros was overall fine and something told him that him staying at the Lakehouse temporarily that would ease up his worries.
Shrugging that thought away for now, Atlantis got into the B69 that Franz was piloting and looked outside before Franz maneuvered them towards the city...

A fire extinguisher, that would have probably been a good idea, something tells me that we might need it to hose down some people here. Shaking my head at the thought that makes me giggle, I sit down comfortably on the lounge seat and help out baby girl with the sun cream after taking a sip of my drink. Now that I am thinking about it, maybe we should make this bikini fantasy a weekly thing, that should be a good thing, right? Right ...
Pursing my lips in thought when baby girl informs me that she has no idea where Boss Man is, but her speculation may be right, after all knowing boss man he always needs to do something. "I just hope that he hasn't gone to his office to grab some work." Because quite honestly, while I know that he has accepted to stay here, I don't see him particularly enjoying this lazy day around the pool even if it involves bikini for some of us. As long as he'll be here and take this day as a no drama day, then I will rest my case.
"Please baby girl, you don't burn, you never burn. It's a fact, that much I know but I do understand what she is saying and what she really means so I just incline my head and remove my own dress before applying some cream on myself too, and I get the help from either baby girl or hot stuff for my back, whomever and I lazily lie down on the lounge seat with my sunglasses on and my hat. Say, how do you think Ayodele is? Don't you find it curious that she at least doesn't know or heard about you?"
From what Pookie has said last night, apparently his massage therapist have no idea who baby girl is, and who I am, which is a good thing I am guessing, but if she has been here just for a little while, wouldn't she want to get to know the place instead of just settling in? Maybe she just hates politics, which is then a good thing, but I definitely cannot wait to get to meet her personally and get to know her. Not really wanting to get into that, I decide that it is high time for me to take a dip in the pool, so I advance towards it, at the shallowest part and dive right in enjoying the feel of water on my skin. "C'mon, get in! The water is warmer than it was earlier!" I call out to everyone and actually no one in particular and since I do remember that gorgeous doesn't do pool or bikinis, I am not pushing her but I am actually looking this time at the Hapan Bombshell.
