Andros knew that if he used new friend, he might have gotten a look of surprise from Elika, though her theatrical actions made Andros look at her with a fake confused expression before he shook his head inwardly cackling because, of course, Elika didn't know that his new friend wasn't actually the talkative type, heck his ysalamir didn't talk to him at all and it just laid there on its olbio tree. "Thanks, mom, I am so glad to have made you proud." Andros said with an amused smirk and giving her a thumbs up, after all she did call him little Andros, so he supposed that she only had herself to blame about that. But the whole deal about his new friend, he wondered how she truly was going to react once she found out what kind of friend that was.
"There is a chance that you may see my friend tomorrow, so I may introduce you." Andros left it at that, but really right that moment, he wanted to laugh because it wasn't even a humanoid friend, more like a means for him to completely disappear from the Force once he was in his office and also not be able to use it like he wouldn't be touched by any Force powers once in the ysalamir's premises.
Whatever happened between the siblings there, Andros looked at the two of them and shook his head inwardly smirking at what Crystal had just done. He had to admit, Crystal knew how to use the Force, but to what extent, it wasn't something he really tried to figure out, but considering what he had heard from his brother, that she was a quick study and all of that, it was as if her ability had never been taken away from her by her father.
Thinking of her father made Andros sneer briefly in annoyance only because the things he had done, those were things that Andros would never comprehend at all, plus what had happened that evening at Crystal's birthday, he clearly still had a bad taste in the mouth especially when it came to a few that had been present there...

"So ... I might have helped a little, Showing a quarter of an inch between my index finger and thumb, I bobble my head from side to side briefly and smile still looking at baby girl and winking at her playfully. really it was only a minimum, you should have seen your brother, or even hear what Lover Boy has said to Dr. Love, that wasn't me at all." At least there is a truth there, I have not instigated anything as far as I am concerned and the all too inviting gaze of Ares when he has been looking at Alisha when she has made her way to the kitchen, that has been too crystal clear.
Considering that I have been relatively close to Lover Boy, I partially overhear what he and Ice have been talking about, though only half of it really since I am also still paying attention to Baby Girl making sure that I am standing a little away from her because I am very well aware that she can toss me into the pool by surprise. Plus, I am standing next to Lover Boy, she wouldn't want anything to happen to lil' ol' him right? Who am I kidding, besides he is in love with trouble, he wouldn't mind about that one bit ...
Shrugging briefly when baby girl tells me that perhaps she will refer to me as her sister-in-law, quite honestly in that department, I am in no rush at all, but now that I think about it, it's not really a topic that I have ever thought about before when it comes to Ryan. "Aren't I already like a sister to you, Baby Girl? I ask her with a jaded expression although I am clearly joking because, quite honestly in law or not, she and I just have that kind of relationship where she borrows some of my things without asking and I do the same, I do it more, her clothes and shoes are to die for, plus she doesn't care as long as I return it to her. But point taken, although I did say that I was already going to start cooking for a solid week and I am starting with the grill here, Though again that is only due to the fact that I do want to plan a potential bachelorette party and also a baby shower, whenever, hopefully Lover Boy mans up and proposes, which is why I am currently looking at Lover Boy for a moment, I am about to address him but decide otherwise since he is still in the middle of a conversation with Ice.
A wet t-shirt contest? Looking down at the black dress that I am wearing, it obviously wouldn't do the trick. "Baby girl, it is black and I am still wearing my bikini beneath. Psh. Walking over towards the bar since apparently for the time being, I might not get any repercussions and Hot Stuff is pretty safe too from any retaliation from his sister, I walk behind the bar and look over at Gorgeous with an amused grin overhearing her statement to Baby Girl. Gorgeous, trust me, Baby Girl's ideas are always tame, and it isn't something I haven't done already." Giggling and looking at Crystal with an amused smile, I shrug nonchalantly and pick up one of the finger foods, munching on it playfully while looking in the direction of the lakehouse's interior wondering if Alisha and Ares have indeed made their way to that room I have pointed out for them.
"So ... Smiling knowingly, my gaze is onto Ice and her son, Lukas, for a brief moment, I look back at Baby Girl dubiously. Have you seen how cute the little guy is? Imagine you and Lover Boy having one of your own, I can already see how the baby will look like when he or she grows up ... Come to think of it, Atlantis is good looking, Crystal is good looking also, something tells me that the baby will just be beautiful. And Gorgeous and I cannot wait to be able to spoil the baby, Winking playfully to Gorgeous with a warm smile, I nod knowingly before adding on. Right?"

If Andros wasn't one of her bosses, Delaana would have laughed out loud due to his and Elika's conversation right there. Alas, Andros was her boss, and thus she kept her composure and straight face while looking in the direction of the pool wondering if a water war was really going to start now. Lana guessed that having the ability to use the Force was one of the pros right now in a pool party, no balloon, the Force was used right then and there by Ryan. Lana, though, already knew about Ryan more or less from speaking with him time to time in some of her lunch breaks when she had been invited by either Lily and/ or Crystal, but now she was wondering how the other brother was personality wise. Lana guessed from the interaction between the childhood friends, Lily had managed to get Ares to make the cake for Franz.
Lana turned to look at Elika with an amused smile. "I do believe you are right, wouldn't want to be caught in the middle of that crossfire between the siblings." She grinned and looked back at both Crystal and Ryan, the former called it a tie now. Surprising but then again something told her in the corner of her mind that perhaps Crystal was already preparing some sort of retaliation for later. It was what Lana knew about the CFO especially when it came to the AG too. But with the Force in the equation, Lana couldn't think what next move Crystal could have right then and there. Sitting on the stool next to Elika, Lana pursed her lips when Crystal walked over towards the bar with Lily soon enough. She was still stopping herself from laughing but unfortunately, she let out an amused laughter before clearing her throat apologetically.
"Oh boy..." Lana murmured under her breath as she listened to Lily saying a few things to Crystal and trying to get Elika on the AG's side. Lana looked at Elika with an amused expression preferring to stay out of that conversation because really it was better that way...

"Yes, you are, Baby Girl, but wouldn't it be even better to be related on paper too, how about that?" Crystal winked playfully at Lily before nodding to grant her that point about the cooking since after all it was the deal that she and Lily had made about the whole thing that Lily wanted to see in the future. "Sweetie, you and I both know that she would have come up with that idea on her own, and trust me she has done that before." Crystal said to Elika with a faint giggle before rolling her eyes playfully as she heard Lily say her own piece about that matter which got Crystal to point at her childhood friend with a I told you so kind of look to Elika.
Crystal quickly turned to look at Lily this time when she brought up Lukas, Ice's son, something told Crystal that she was so going to get it here and now from Lily and she in fact did. "You are so impossible, Baby Girl, it is so unheard of." Laughing softly and nudging Lily teasingly before pursing her lips for a brief moment. "Did you perhaps ever think that you might be the first one out of the two of us, or perhaps even Alisha since she has been recently engaged?" Crystal asked rhetorically before lifting her hand already potentially knowing what Lily might come to tell her right then and there. "Okay, so perhaps you will tell me that it isn't the same, but you could still go overly gaga with your boyfriend's future niece or nephew too, no?" Crystal turned to look in Atlantis and Ice's direction in particular, seeing that Lukas was next to his mother, but still she wondered what Atlantis was discussing with Ice. Crystal didn't linger for far too long on that question though and just looked back at her friends with a warm smile after noticing that Franz was in his swimming shorts and he had his hand extended in Ayodele's direction.
"Things seem to be going well for Pookie, unless I am mistaken..." Crystal only knew him more than Ayodele but she really seemed to be having fun insofar with him. She was certain that she might hear about that later when Lily started grilling Franz someway somehow, it was just her childhood friend's style anyways. Leaning against the bar, just so she could keep on looking at the area and check if anyone needed anything, Crystal supposed that it would be better if she said nothing right now and waited for anyone to ask for anything because she already knew that it could be a pain to have someone behind their backs constantly. Crystal still noticed that her other brother nor his fiancée weren't back, especially his fiancée and she really didn't want to imagine what might have been going on between those two...

Atlantis smiled at Lukas' flamboyancy. He could see the young boy was very attached to his mom and just from the looks of it, Atlantis was tempted to assume that Ice brought her son up on her own without a father figure it seemed. Not really wanting to down the mood at all, Atlantis kept that smile on his face as he continued to look at Lukas warmly and affectionately until his mother addressed Atlantis again. He turned to look at Ice and gave her his undivided attention, taking it all in attentively.
Atlantis also remembered something that Ares had said to Andros, that was after his identical twin had shown that message from Ares, if they had any information about the Horicas or anyone else that had orchestrated those attacks. Truth be told, there was a time when he and Andros had fully accepted their lineage but it had been a ruse to begin with and now it was something that they didn't mention at all. The past was in the past he guessed but this was something he had been wanting to address and he was grateful to have the person who had warned them of that potential threat.
"Still it has been a while since I have been wanting to meet the person who warned us..." Atlantis said softly but Ice was right, he indeed would have done the same and if it were the other way around, of course he'd warn people even though he believed that a lot thought of him to be reckless perhaps and tight lipped, not a good team player. That might have been a fact but as years went by, he had a hard time to trust easily, unlike before.
But that was a story for another time, instead he reverted back to the important matters at hand and he smiled once more, gratefully to Ice before glancing over towards his identical twin. "Ares and Ryan actually contacted him," Atlantis explained with a grin before glancing back at Ice and shaking his head briefly. "I am sure that he is grateful for that, though don't expect to hear it from him, he can be a bit difficult to speak with." Atlantis smirked at the thought as he knew Andros by heart anyways but currently the man seemed to be in a good mood despite what had been happening on the planet. That made him wonder if Ice had read that over the HNN or something, but it didn't matter at all so he didn't bring that up currently and instead he said.
"I am sure that Crystal already has asked you this, or told you this, do you need anything though, something to drink or munch on for the time being?"

Lakehouse — Kitchen
Ares ran his right hand all over his face to get a hold of himself, right now he was definitely hoping to be able to do that but with what she had done, he had dropped the whisker into the bowl and his breathing had accelerated just like his heartbeat. He really needed to resist that temptation but Ali definitely had to tease him and he wasn't helping his cause at all with his mind filled with that kind of thoughts. Groaning helplessly, Ares looked back at the batter there and bit his cheek to try and control himself and have peaceful thoughts.
Peaceful thoughts, peaceful thoughts... Ares thought to himself until he did that mistake to watch Ali go and leave the kitchen. He inwardly groaned and shook his head trying to clear away those thoughts of his but still he said to himself he really wasn't going to cave in. Not caving in, no way, cake to be done, Franz's birthday, he is my cousin, I need to do this. Hopefully that would settle him...
Hopefully.
Taking a deep breath and returning to his task at hand, Ares knew that perhaps indeed he should be taking a cold shower first but... Instead, he turned to face the sink there in the kitchen and started to run the water to the coldest setting before he dipped his head beneath it to at least try and cool himself quickly and efficiently.
Hopefully...
After a minute or two, Ares finally stood upright and removed his shirt since it was drenched someway somehow on his shoulder and returned to what he had been doing previously, which was cake making and hopefully Ali would stay as far away from this kitchen.
Hopefully, again...

Elikapeka rolls her eyes, trying to look annoyed and failing miserably, when Andros calls her 'mom', then just shakes her head before telling him, "Well, I look forward to meeting your new friend then. Assuming, Elika is unable to resist adding teasingly, you haven't just made them up."
Crinkling her nose when Crystal suggests that Lily would more likely than not have come up with the wet t-shirt idea, or something similarly themed, all on her own, Elika nods while agreeing with a smile, "You're probably right, hon', it is Lily after all. Laughing when Lily arrives and tries to claim that Crystal's ideas are tame, Elika frowns with playful skepticism and asks, Really? I seem to recall her giving someone a lap dance in the middle of a public restaurant once, beautiful, and I'm pretty sure I've been told that there are stories of dancing on bars too. Holding up her hands, thumbs keeping her sleeves in place, Elika clarifies in a playfully concerned tone, Not that you should take that as a challenge or anything, we all know your ideas are usually very, very far from tame. Arching an eyebrow with a theatrically mournful expression, Elika says, It must be tough for you to have to keep the fact there's going to be some young, innocent little children around that will require you keeping things PG today, huh?"
Nodding and looking at Crystal with a 'she speaks the truth' expression when Lily says that she and Elika would be quite happy to spoil any babies that might lay in the future for Atlantis and Crystal, Elika nods and echoes Lily's, "Right. Giving Delaana's hand a squeeze, Elika looks over at her and smiles as she asks, It looks like we'd be safe from any cross-fire for the moment. Did you want to get back in the pool and swim? Arching an eyebrow with a kittenish grin, Elika leans over to whisper in her ear, I'd be quite content to sit and dangle my legs in the water while watching you, to make sure you're safe and all. More seriously, her expression revealing her mild concern that Delaana might not be enjoying herself, Elika asks, Or is there anything else you'd like to do?"

Scoffing at Crystal's words about me perhaps being the first one to have a kid, I really don't see that happening, which is why I am currently looking at her skeptically too. "I'll grant you the Alisha part, but, Shaking my head when I point at the both of us, I end up laughing ironically. still between you and I, I am still saying it'll be you. And also yes perhaps I can overly go gaga on your future niece or nephew, but do you really see Alisha and Ares staying here?" It'll be different sure, and I am very certain they will visit or we'll visit whatever, but Ares and Alisha permanently staying her? Nope, sorry not going to hold my breath for that.
"Point there, Gorgeous, Giggling at that, about Crystal giving Atlantis a lap dance in a restaurant and also her tendency to dance on a bar, between she and I, though, I still think that she is tamer ... Publicly, all things considered. but Crystal did have a few namanas, and we all know what happens there, but I still think that compared to me, she is tamer. Sighing audibly and mournfully when Elika reminds me that the presence of innocent children tames me in a way, I nod and pretend to wipe a non-existent tear in the corner of my eye. It's so, so, so difficult, it's indescribable, Gorgeous. Faking a sob and sniffling, I do remember that I still do have a silver lining. PG here at the pool but in the kitchen, I am sure that is a whole different story, which for once I had nothing to do with."
Looking towards that window that leads indoors, there is still no signs of Alisha, and perhaps something has happened or is happening inside, which I clearly do not want to know but either way, I look back at Gorgeous and wink at her playfully before smiling at both her and the Hapan Bombshell. "Admit it, Gorgeous, you just enjoy watching the Hapan Bombshell move in the water ... Pursing my lips playfully, I am quite content to have stopped there, because usually I do have the tendency to run my mouth but alas like Gorgeous has said previously everything must be PG with a kid there by the pool. Either way, you two don't mind me, I am just going to be lazying in the sun until I am told that I have to cook. My attention turns towards Pookie and Ayodele, the former seems to be ready to get into the pool and indeed everything seems to be going on just fine between the two of them. Mhmmm."

Ayodele smiles her amused smile as Franz, characteristically it is becoming more and more evident, jokes lightly about his need to cease planning aloud and his efforts to seek a new impassive expression; and wonders if he is glib to avoid attracting notice to the fact that he reveals relatively little of himself, or merely to avoid revealing what lays beneath the amusing banter. It is too soon to make a determination, naturally, nor do present circumstances exactly lend themselves to interacting on a deeper level, though Ayodele recalls that even when they were alone Franz exhibited a certain reluctance to share much about himself in any great detail. Ayodele sets the idle train of thought aside, as amused as ever since it does not escape her that she is no less guilty than Franz were being glib and offering relatively little of herself are concerned. She knows her own motives for withholding some things from others, of course, and so Ayodele, curious as she may be, feels little compulsion at present to pry. Laughing lyrically when Franz, exchanging the glib for flattery that feels to her more sincere than mere banter, expresses his hope that she will one day reveal what led to their sharing time together, Ayodele asks in an amused, inquisitive tone, "Can it truly be called luck if your actions bring something about, Franz?" Having answered his question, in an oblique fashion, Ayodele arches an eyebrow as though challenging Franz to glean his answer without her spelling it out for him; though she would be equally pleased were he to interpret the question as a purely philosophical one as the answer seems to her a singularly dull one, true though it may be, where philosophical banter is something she never fails to find diverting.
Reaching out to accept Franz's offered hand, glad for the sun's warmth as it means her fingers and palm are not as chill as they are without borrowed heat, Ayodele smiles as she allows him to help her to her feet, laughing as he cites a saying that was old even when she was young. "I say thank you, Franz," Ayodele answers Franz's question, an amused smile on her lips as, though he merely speaks in jest once more, she tries to think of how long it has been since she has felt any true threat to her person and well being and finds that she cannot recall when last she felt any such thing. Sidling up to Franz's side, sliding an arm through his, Ayodele follows him to the pool, turning to face him with her amused smile while sliding her hand down his arm to clasp his hand briefly before she releases it and turns to dive gracefully into the pool, swimming languidly beneath the surface towards the opposite side of the pool without surfacing until she has reached it.

Ice smiled, inclining her head when Atlantis said that he had been wanting to meet the person who had warned them about the atrocities on Caamas.
"Thank you, Atlantis." She replied with a humble sincerity. "I have actually be wanting to meet all of you, too. With everything that has happened in the last two or three years, it's been a bit difficult to get a chance to do that until now." She gave a small sigh as she shook her head slightly as if to clear her mind then followed Atlantis' gaze over to his identical twin while he continued speaking about how Ares and Ryan had actually contacted Andros with the information about Horicas nefarious deeds against the Caamasi people. Ice briefly studied the man as Atlantis went on to say that he was sure Andros had been grateful for the information but probably wouldn't say as much since he could be a little difficult to speak with.
Chuckling lightly, Ice returned her gaze to Atlantis while folding her arms across her chest. "I've known a couple of people like that. I usually just leave them alone until the actually want to talk - though sometimes I just do the talking."
She grinned with a shrug of her shoulders as her eyes wandered over to Andros again. He did seem to be in a good mood while he relaxed by the pool, though not knowing the man, she couldn't be totally sure about that. She wanted to ask Atlantis about what she had read on the local HNN newsfeed as they were arriving to the planet, but she knew this wasn't the time nor the place so it would have to wait for now. The sound of Atlantis' voice, asking if she needed anything to eat or drink halted that train of though on its tracks. Settling her gaze on him again, she was going to answer but Lukas looked up to Atlantis with the hopeful expression of a toddler.
"Can I have appole jush, pweese?"
Laughing with a smile, Ice arched an eyebrow at Atlantis. "Well there you have it, the tiny tot would like some apple juice. As for me, a beer would be fine, please....but I don't want to hold you up. I can get them if there's something else you need to tend to...."
While Atlantis' and Crystals offers of food and drink were greatly appreciated, she didn't want or expect to be waited on. In fact the only home-care staff she had was the nanny HRD named Ursula that Syla had given her when Lukas was first born. Ursula was a godsend in those first few months with the care of Lukas when Ice was working. The droid could cook, clean, babysit and even help to protect the family if the need arose.

Ryan narrowed his eyes when his sister had told him that this was a tie for now. The for now part and Crystal's mischievous tone told him that she was preparing something, when he least expected it. He should definitely, and carefully, be on guard as from what he knew about his sister, despite not looking like it, being relatively harmless, Crystal was not only a good martial artist but she also manipulated the Force, at least its core powers, expertly. "If I didn't know any better you have something up your slee-..." That expression did not fit currently since factually she wasn't wearing anything but her bikini, which was why he had cut himself short and just carried on with a "Up that mind of yours, or tame just like Lily would say."
Rolling his eyes playfully since he did overhear what his girlfriend had said to his sister amongst the other stuff which he preferred to not even address right now because he might get in trouble, instead to occupy himself or pretending to be occupied, he telekinetically lifted the raft out of the pool and put that on the edge of it in case Elika had indeed decided to use it or now. Jogging up around the pool and overhearing that the lil' man wanted some apple juice and his mom a bottle of beer, Ryan walked up to the bar still ignoring the conversation that was happening between his sister and his girlfriend about who was going to be a mother first and whatever, he found the beer there and the apple juice which he poured into a glass and put a straw before uncapping the beer and walking over to where Ice and Lukas were seated.
"Here you go lil' man," He handed the apple juice to Lukas with a smirk before handing the beer bottle to Ice with a nod. "Lil' man, you and I should go swimming later." Ryan suggested with a smirk before glancing at Ice with an amused grin. "When you are ready, come and find me, okay?" Smirking and returning his attention to Lukas, Ryan stepped away back towards the bar so that Atlantis and Ice could finish their conversation without anyone else there and since Ryan was still wet, he just wrapped his arms around his girlfriend and shook nuzzled his head against the crook of her neck while standing behind her. "Come and swim with me instead of lazing in the sun..." Ryan muttered under his breath before kissing her cheek affectionately. He pulled his head back and smirked before glancing at his sister with wide eyes. "I promise to keep it PG!"

"Mmmmmmm..." Franz thought for a moment scratching the back of his head as he continued to look at Ayodele after she somewhat challenged him to answer that question, at least that was how he interpreted it with her arched eyebrow. For a moment though, it seemed like he was speechless and he cleared his throat feeling that his heartbeat was accelerating. "Knowing myself and my ability to say the wrong thing at the wrong time, I do feel lucky..." Franz explained with a faint sheepish smile, there were other things of course and still, with the way he had approached her yesterday in TaSpa! when she was at the bar out of the blue, that was something he usually didn't do, at all, ever. "Let's just say that right now, I feel a little proud to have you here with me and they," Franz gestured in a random direction, he obviously meant the others in general, which he indicated by making circular movements with his hand. "Don't, as I am very sure that there is a big chance that I am not the only one who is interested in getting to know you." He finally explained, the best that he could at least, Franz had dropped his hand and soon had walked with her towards the pool after she had taken his hand and moved hers to his arm then back to his hand.
He smiled looking at her and for a moment he clearly was just lost, his mind was running with several thoughts and he just didn't know how to compartmentalize that, especially with his heart that seemed to be hammering in his ribcage. Taking a deep breath to at least control his breathing, Franz knew that he should probably get a hold of himself and not expect too much because that would perhaps come and bite him in the choobies. Diving finally into the water, Franz enjoyed the feel of the water and kept swimming under water as well and only surfaced when he reached the other side, relatively next to her. "Can I assume that you like swimming too, along with feeling the sun on your face, or is that too presumptuous?" Franz asked with a genuine tone and smile before tugging his hair back. There were so many things that he still wanted to ask her too but he knew that this was too soon and he didn't want to pry too much, anytime she wanted to share with him, he was fine with that, and if he perhaps didn't share much about himself, that was only because he had been so used to keep a lid on his life and also protecting the others, that unless asked directly, he wouldn't share too much without being prompted, at least.
"By the way, I don't know if you have been told this before, and perhaps you were, but," Franz smiled once more as he looked at her before he nodded and sincerely said. "I like the way you laugh and move, it's just so you..."

Delaana covered her mouth to hide the fact that she was genuinely amused by the conversation between Crystal and Elika currently concerning Lily. She was just fine with listening currently hence the reason why she wasn't talking that much, it did not mean that she wasn't having fun because she genuinely was. Though, when Elika had pointed out to Lily that Crystal had given a public lap dance and had a tendency to dance on bars, that was when she laughed genuinely but at the same time Lana had been surprised to have found out about that fact. Her laughter did not die down, far from it with the back and forth between Elika and Lily mainly but she knew that she had to keep that in which was why she bit her lower lip to stop herself from laughing.
"Hmmm?" Delaana was clearly distracted and she had only felt that squeeze on her hand which was why she turned to look at Elika dubiously before hearing the whispered tone which made her smile coyly. Looking straight at Elika and noticing that she was frowning, Lana reached for Elika's cheek and rubbed it gently and affectionately with her thumb. "My Shakal, please don't frown..." Lana asked softly with a faint pout before leaning over to peck Elika's lips softly, hoping to indeed make Elika stop frowning. Lana slid her hand from Elika's cheek back to her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "I do not wish to do anything else currently but to spend this time with you." She sincerely and seriously said with a genuine smile. If Elika was worried about Lana being bored, she shouldn't be for Lana was genuinely having a great time here.
The company was great, the conversation was amusing, and like Lana had been told it was crazier here than it had been back at the spa place. "But what about you, is there something else you'd wish to do?" Delaana asked softly considering that she didn't want to impose so to speak and perhaps Elika preferred to be doing something else as from what Lana had been told earlier, Elika didn't swim at all...

Nodding to confirm that this was Lily indeed they were talking about and her childhood friend could very well come up with less tame ideas on her own starting with the wet t-shirt contest, Crystal even pointed at Lily and started to nod until she stopped when Elika brought up a particular episode with caused Crystal to look at her with wide eyes. "Really, sweetie, did you have to bring that up?" Crystal pretended to be annoyed only she wasn't because she was soon laughing and she shook her head playfully. It was true that hard liquor usually made her do things that she usually wouldn't do just like Lily had stated, and quite honestly, Crystal wasn't ashamed of that, it depended on the setting, if Crystal was having fun, she'd keep on having fun and didn't care if in the process she made a fool of herself.
"Pfff..." Crystal only blew some air about the whole who was going to be pregnant first and what not and still she had to admit that Lily was indeed right about the whole Alisha and Ares situation, she didn't see them settling here and raising the future kid and what not but then again, she didn't say anything further about that matter for Crystal was more concentrated on what was happening in the pool, she genuinely smiled at both Franz and Ayodele there before looking away because she didn't want to make them feel uncomfortable or under scrutiny anyways.
"Baby girl, I have a hard time believing you didn't perhaps tell anything to the recently engaged couple in the kitchen." Crystal knew Lily that much, which was why Crystal was very skeptical about that and perhaps something was indeed happening in the kitchen which was why she put on a reminder in the corner of her mind to not even step inside the lakehouse, nor let anyone else do the same. Hopefully they would take that in a room or something because she really didn't want to walk in on them.
Laughing at Ryan when he clearly approached his girlfriend and purposely soaked Lily due to the fact that he was still wet from falling into the pool earlier, Crystal shook her head slowly with an amused smirk on the corner of her lips. "As you very well should, fratellino, your girlfriend is already having a hard time with that, and we all know what happens when you are around..." Giggling softly, Crystal picked up her glass and took a sip of her drink before looking at her brother again and winking at him. But then her attention was turned towards her boyfriend wondering what he had been discussing with Ice. The man was a people's person in a social gathering and he always made it a point to interact with people he often barely knew.
Putting that matter aside and looking back at the couples by her side, Elika and Lana along with Ryan and Lily, she nudged the latter and particularly her childhood friend. "Go swim with him before he tosses you into the pool..." Leaving that decision to them, Crystal looked back at Elika and Lana in particular before asking. "Everything alright with you two or did you need anything else in particular?" Crystal asked curiously with a warm smile.

Ali stepped out of the house and walked over to the bar, a look of slight disappointment, or maybe it was frustration, on her face as she rested her forearms on the bars surface.
"I think I need a drink. Something that will help me get over the fact that my fiance just chose making a cake over....other things."
She stated teasingly to those sitting there, amusement replacing the earlier look on her features. She wasn't mad at Ares, far from it in fact, and she knew he had a lot on his mind so she could forgive him for that. Though because of her previous efforts to get him to that guest bedroom, she was probably just as tense sitting here at the bar as she knew he was in the kitchen. Temporarily putting those thoughts on hold, she looked around noticing that Ice now had a beer in hand and was talking to Atlantis, and Lukas had a glass of juice.
Smiling inwardly, she was happy to know that Ice seemed to be settling into the unfamiliar surroundings well enough. She wasn't sure at first when Jena had suggested inviting Ice because she knew how much Ice hated to travel and to be in unfamiliar settings, but so far it seemed to be working out for her cousin. This was the most relaxed she had seen Ice in ages. Turning back to those at the bar she spoke with a half grin.
"So who's getting tossed into the pool?" Ali inquired a bit warily, having only heard the last part of Crystals previous comments when she had first stepped up to the bar.

Atlantis waved his hand in a it's no problem sort of way when Ice told him that she had been wanting to meet them for a while now as well. "From experience, everything happens for a reason and then you'll adapt to the circumstances and get to where you want to be by the end of it." In Atlantis' own experience everything happened when it needed to happened and it was his or the others' job to adapt, at least that was how he saw things, after that was up to each and everyone to either adhere or not, he wasn't one to enforce things at all since he despised when he was in the obligation to do this or that.
Although, that went without saying that he was still grateful for the information they had received about the Horicas' wrongdoings in Caamas, Atlantis still could remember that rage his brother had gone through, he definitely still remembered that day for that day went great for him, but for Andros not so much and then came the confrontation with San's son or something back at the Raceways, something Atlantis couldn't forget even if he wanted to, though he looked at his brother again and smiled faintly, Andros seemed relaxed indeed despite everything that had been going through on this planet, it was as if Andros didn't care, but Atlantis knew him, and he knew that it affected his brother one way or the other.
"Fair enough, Ice..." Atlantis said with an amused expression as he looked back at her when she clearly told him that she might not be speaking with Andros, perhaps, then again Andros could also be random, Atlantis guessed, that was up to his brother and there was no way Atlantis was going to twist his arm. Hearing soon enough that Lukas wanted some apple juice and Ice asking for a beer, Atlantis was about to say something, he also had his mouth open but Ryan got there first and gave what the mother and son wanted to drink, and he looked at his cousin again, remembering that earlier question. "Perhaps they will come, Ryan depending on how long it takes back in the City, your question earlier."
Atlantis shook his head with another amused smile but that was only to mask what truly was going through his mind, but currently he preferred not to linger on that and he looked back at Ice with a knowing smile. "I believe that I no longer have anything to tend to on this very day, but just relax, lawyer's orders." Atlantis smirked at the thought and he did look at the lawyer present there, but considering that most of the women were by the bar, perhaps that wouldn't give Ice the indication on who was the lawyer in that congregation. Then he saw Alisha walking at the bar looking disappointed or something but then she smiled, Atlantis chuckled and looked back at Ice with an amused grin. "Like I said you need anything, let anyone of us know and we'll point you in the right direction, also if you feel like it, join them by the bar, I think your cousin just got turned down by her fiancé." Leaving it at that, Atlantis knew that perhaps that could have been the case, after seeing what had been happening in the kitchen or what wasn't happening, he shrugged briefly and stood his ground wondering if indeed Ice along with Lukas wanted to accompany him by the bar.

"Your lack of faith, in me making friends, is disturbing, Elikapeka." Andros rolled his eyes before shaking his head somewhat exasperatedly for not being believed about his new friend, though truth be told, if Elika did find out what kind of friend it was then, he supposed that he could say that she was dead on about that. But for now he left it at that and just resumed taking the sun and enjoying the feel of it while internally smirking about tomorrow when he'll get Elika to meet his newest friend...
Taking a deep breath, Andros sat up on his lounge chair and rolled his neck to relax his muscle there until he noticed from the corner of his eyes that his brother but also the woman over there had been looking at him, and just for that Andros arched his eyebrow before looking away and noticing that Alisha had arrived but Ares wasn't there.
Shrugging not caring actually whatever happened there, then it happened or it did not, Andros stood up from his seat and walked over to where his brother was before looking back at Ice and Lukas in particular, without a glare but still he was looking at them. "It's not polite to be talking about someone laying just there." Andros said bluntly and maybe abrasively before shaking his head and looking at Ice and then his very own brother.
"Anything, I should be aware of?" Andros asked straight to the point, as he, as always, disliked beating around the bush.

"Baby Girl, seriously? I look at Crystal with amusement because in my opinion she certainly should be proud that Gorgeous has brought up the whole giving a lap dance to Lover Boy in a public place. You should be proud of that! I mean you do have one up over me, that is clearly something I have never done before." Winking at her playfully, that is just Crystal ... I mean sure publicly she is tamer than I, but hands down she puts me to shame, I am sure that Lover Boy has a lot of things to say about her, but alas, already tried asking and failed to have answers.
Shaking my head with an innocent expression on my feature about what I might have said or not to the recently engaged there in the kitchen, though I cannot keep up the innocent appearance, I am just about to say something when I feel Hot Stuff hugging me from behind and of course I do feel that he is still wet from being thrown into the pool by his sister, and I obviously don't care and just lean back against him with a hand on his forearm. "Hmmm ... Moving my hand up to his cheek and turning my head to peck his lips, I am about to tell him yes, I will gladly go into the water with him, but something stops me. Ohemgee, what the hell is she doing here?! Blinking a few times and seeing the look on Alisha's face, it is with shock that I stare at her especially when she tells all of us that Dr. Love out there in the kitchen has turned her down. Hot Stuff, Lifting a finger before turning to look at him to emphasize that I want to be released right now. ritorno subito. (be right back) Looking at Alisha right now and shaking my head before sighing, I gesture for her to stand up from the stool there. Sis, you need to shake it, perhaps you should have removed your top or just tease him even more. Inwardly groaning, I grab her hand and gesture for her to follow me right now. Show the man what he is missing already. Looking over my shoulder and calling out to everyone at the bar in particular. Be right back!"
It is with a mission that I am heading back inside of the lakehouse with Alisha, hopefully if she does follow me but this is just unacceptable. How can the man turn her down, I really do not get it, sheesh he has a problem.
Lakehouse - Kitchen
"Ar- ... I stop dead on when I see him in the kitchen half naked and his hair is completely wet, well then that is a tale tell sign. Clearing my throat and shaking my head before looking at him with a deadpan look. Leave the damn cake already, someone is already baking here, and your sister might call the firemen, you really don't want that to happen, now please, since the batter is done, I am assuming ... Looking at the bowl and noticing that Ares has still managed to do what needs to be done to make cake; I walk up straight to him and stand behind him moving him out of the kitchen in the direction of that said guest room. I don't want to hear any complaints from your fiancée and I certainly don't want to hear that she wants a drink because you chose to make cake over her sweetness, now, Pushing him into the room and looking at Alisha if she is there and gesturing her to get in also, I roll my eyes playfully. This is as far as I will go and you two are forbidden to step onto the deck until I see happy faces from you two!"
They have been warned, I clear out the premises, after making sure that a certain song is playing over the stereo, and walk back towards the deck and shaking my head still with a perplexed expression on my features.
Lakehouse - Pool
"Your brother has a serious problem! I hiss looking at both Crystal and Ryan before giggling and picking up my drink once more as if nothing whatsoever happened and I just carry on with that conversation we have been having earlier before Ali had arrived. Right, I don't need to be tossed into the pool, I will gladly join you for a swim. Smiling at Ryan and then looking at Crystal with another smile, hopefully Lover Boy will be swimming too, but he looks busy over there with Boss Man. C'mon, let's all take a dip!"

"Right..." Crystal was very unconvinced as she looked at her childhood friend, "Do you really and seriously picture me declaring to the whole wide galaxy that I have a tendency to perform a lap dance in a restaurant, and also put on my business cards that I also dance on bars?" Crystal was torn between feeling embarrassed but also laughing, all that was thanks to Lily. Her childhood friend might have been the Attorney General on this planet but when it was time to have some fun, Lily always did and she dragged people with her.
One of the things Crystal loved about Lily.
Soon enough, Crystal noticed that her future sister-in-law had stepped out onto the deck and somewhat looked disappointed or frustrated, Crystal couldn't tell which one it was so for the time being, she remained silent, though she wanted to ask what was wrong but fortunately or unfortunately for her, the answer came without Crystal asking. It was no laughing matter, that was a fact because Crystal could very well empathize with that situation more than she would ever say.
"No one is going to be tossed into the pool," Crystal finally said preferring to omit what she wanted to say first instead she looked at her childhood friend and pursed her lips before glancing back at Alisha. "You should follow the lawyer, otherwise she won't stop until she wins that case..." Crystal left it at that, she was certain that by now, Alisha knew more or less about Lily's personality and as the two women headed inside, Crystal turned to face everyone and rolled her eyes playfully. "Sometimes I don't even know how she and I remained to be friends this long." It was a joke, that was a given, Crystal just loved Lily the way she was and the attorney was often the go-to person to have a good time or just have one's mood lifted.
Picking up her cocktail glass, Crystal took a sip of her drink and looked over to where Atlantis was and it seemed that even Andros had joined his brother and Ice over there. One thing was for sure currently, one: Crystal was surprised that Andros had gone over to speak with someone he barely knew and two: she was glad that Andros had stayed and definitely seemed to be relaxing despite everything happening on the planet. Smiling briefly and then looking over her shoulder to see if Lily was returning any time soon, Crystal pursed her lips to prevent herself from giggling but then she could not help but to say. "I really do not want to be Ares right now, nor Alisha..."
Crystal knew Lily to be methodical and also could perfectly play matchmaker, along with managing to convincing people most of the time. It was just her, and speaking of which Lily was back, Crystal looked upwards briefly and laughed as just like that Lily picked up the previous conversation as if it were nothing. "Baby girl, life would be so boring without you around..." Crystal commented with a faint dramatic sigh before gesturing for them to go if they wanted to, she'd remain here for a moment until something occurred to her. "Um, Lily? How much did Ares complete in the kitchen?"

Her smile as amused as ever, Ayodele tilts her head back and laughs lyrically when Franz tells her that he feels lucky to have her to himself for the moment as he is sure he is not alone in wanting to get to know her better. Patting his arm while meeting his eyes to convey to him that her laughter is not of the mocking variety since Franz has made it abundantly clear that he is uncertain of himself and she would not wish for him to feel that he has said anything foolish or deserving of her ridicule, Ayodele smiles and tells him, "They will simply have to wait for you to grow bored of me then, Franz."
As she has, until now, consciously maintained a careful distance between her and those whose lives orbit her own now that she has, in her own small way, emerged from the shadows to join the lives she once merely watched, Ayodele is unaccustomed to drawing the curiosity of others; Franz's words have served as a reminder of what her decision to invite him in to her life will, in turn, invite into her life. It will be be a test of her abilities to conceal or to not betray the hints of her true origins that even her long practice in portraying that which she is not cannot entirely mask, and of her ability to hold to her policy of holding always to the truth, or at least shades of it. The swim robs her thoughts of what little urgency they so briefly held, and when Ayodele surfaces at the other side of the pool, lifting her hands to brush her hair back from her forehead, the thoughts are set aside completely, her focus on the moment. Smiling when Franz, after asking her if it is presumptuous to assume that she enjoys the sun and the swimming, tells her that he likes her laugh and the way she moves, Ayodele tilts her head to the side and asks, "So me? With a laugh, she asks, And who else might I laugh or move like, Franz, if not like me? Narrowing her eyes playfully, Ayodele asks, You are capable of such flattery, and yet still worry that you might say the wrong thing? I think your fears are unfounded, Franz, Ayodele tells him with a smile that, accompanied with the twinkling in her brown eyes, conveys her intent is to compliment him. Sure that Franz will protest, Ayodele moves on before he has the chance, lifting her face to the sun and kicking her legs to spin about in the water with un-self-conscious abandon, saying, And you were right, I do quite enjoy the sun and the water. I had thought I exchanged the snow and ice for mists, and so have you to thank for revealing to me what the mists conceal."
