Ayodele nods once each time that Franz says that she is right in her assertions, her amused smile taking on a playfully knowing quality meant to suggest that there was never in question in her mind of the veracity of her statements, and then looks upward and to the left with a languid shrug of her left shoulder that neither affirms nor denies Franz's suggestion that she might enjoy teasing him. "I believe, Franz, Ayodele tells him with an amused smile after he suggests that she will get along well with his striking friends, that you are right." Looking from Franz towards the entrance to the house when Atlantis returns with a small group of new arrivals, Ayodele cups her hands beneath the water and then splashes some water on her face, running her fingers through her hair to wet it and push it back. The sensory organs unique to her species make her aware of the fact that the new arrivals, like nearly all of those present at the house, are Force sensitives; something that Ayodele supposes she should have anticipated given Franz's occupation. Being in the vicinity of so many Force sensitives causes that which she has buried deep within her to stir more fitfully than it has in quite some time, and yet Ayodele is pleased to find that the stirring is something she can observe as though distant and separate from it, is in fact something she can almost ignore entirely.

Looking back to Franz and wiping some of the excess water from her cheeks, Ayodele smiles as, in answer to the question he asks without voicing it, she tells him, "I am fine for now, Franz, but if you are hungry or thirsty I would be happy to join you."

*Crystal returned their greetings, thanking Michelle sincerely for the offered help. However, according to her "childhood friend," today was a "no drama day." Michelle almost seemed confused by that notion, especially since the three of them had come to delve straight into the "drama," but she quickly realized that everyone here had been dealing with it much longer, so of course a day off from all of it would have been much welcome. She gave her brother a look, and a silent agreement was made not to speak of the investigation while they were present here today.

Just after Crystal politely invited them to have a look around and to come back anytime they wished, another person appeared, a man wearing only a pair of pants, and asking Crystal something in a language Aerandir didn't recognize. Then he seemed to realize there were visitors and, looking sheepish, introduced himself as Ares, Crystal's brother. Aerandir chuckled softly and offered another slight bow.* "Aerandir Calmcacil, at your service," *he introduced, then indicated his sister and daughter with a hand on the shoulder as he added,* "Michelle, and Morgan, same."

*Crystal seemed somewhat uncertain how to respond to Ares' request, but Atlantis appeared shortly right after, getting right to inviting them in. Crystal urged them to follow Atlantis before leaving with Ares, so Aerandir only nodded and, after Morgan was given the honor of following first, walked alongside his sister outside to the pool area, which was indeed free of mist.* "Well at least we'll actually be able to see everyone we meet," *he joked, then waited patiently for introductions, smiling politely and his gaze seeking out all individuals present, though it lingered only on Ice, whom he gave a nod of greeting and a slightly amused look at seeing her here unexpectedly.*

It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.

*Morgan beamed when she was addressed and offered the opportunity to come back to the lakehouse any time, though she wasn't sure if they would even be able to accept that offer very often; the work they'd come to do was going to be very demanding, she could tell. But now wasn't the time to worry about that, it was time to have fun! That she was definitely eager for, even more so since Lukas was here!

More people appeared on the porch, first a man who introduced himself as Crystal's brother and seemed sheepish about something. He had spoken something in another language, though she thought she'd caught the word "bikini" in there... Just after that, Atlantis had appeared, and the language he spoke was language he understood perfectly: It was party time! After Crystal left with Ares, the four of them were off to the pool, with Master Roma even offering the lead. With a giggle, a bow, and a statement of,* "Thank you for this honor, Master!" *she took point behind Atlantis.

This place really was very cool-looking, and there was no mist here, which meant it was easier to see! Something her daddy was quick to quip about, which she giggled at. But she quickly spotted Lukas in the pool with a man she didn't recognize, and the two seemed to be having fun together. Still, before any introductions could even be made, she couldn't help but to take a step forward, beaming still, and call out,* "Hi Lukas!" *with an enthusiastic wave.

Now she just needed to get into her swimsuit so she could go play with him too! Too bad skinny-dipping was off the table, or she'd be right in!*

Lakehouse — Pool

Atlantis led everyone to lead towards the pool and looked around momentarily with a knowing smile before glancing to his side noticing and clearly hearing that Morgan knew Lukas who was clearly still in Ryan's arms. Atlantis smiled looking at Aerandir's daughter, so indeed he could assume that the Jedi from Felucia knew the people from Honoghr except perhaps the Solaris brothers. But that did not matter, instead Atlantis looked at the people by his side and just introduced them. "Everyone, these are Aerandir, his sister, Michelle, and his daughter Morgan." He pointed out to the family and each time he gave the name he gestured in their direction, before last but not least he looked at Serrin, and evidently she already knew most if not all of them. "This right here is Serrin." He smiled once more before looking from the group he had been with and pointed to each and everyone of them.

"You have Ryan over there, with Lukas, Ryan is also the other brother of Crystal and fraternal twin to the weirdo you saw earlier." He obviously meant Ares before he chuckled before pointing at Ice over there. "That would be Ice, Lukas' mom, and then you have Lily right there, along with Elikapeka, Delaana, and over there, Ayodele and Franz." Atlantis glanced around and finding his brother who was still laying on the lounge seat. "My brother, Andros," Again Atlantis looked meaningfully at the Calmcacil family before smiling warmly and then he remembered that perhaps Alisha was still inside, or there was a big chance that she was since she wasn't here. "Alisha is inside, I am sure you will see her soon enough."

Grinning, not that the introductions have been made, his attention ultimately turned towards Morgan who perhaps wanted to get into the pool already since she looked like she wanted to join Lukas there into the water. "Right, I am sure that Crystal would say that, just like her housemates Lily and Elika, so just make yourself at home, and I believe that you," He looked at the Calmcacil family in particular before smiling "Should come with me, so I can show you where you can change."

Before turning to head back inside to lead the way, Atlantis looked at the attorney right then and there and grinned. "Lily, your childhood friend ordered you to get to cooking already, apparently." Atlantis lifted both of his hands and shuddered. "Don't hurt me, I am only playing the messenger!" Atlantis with wide eyes stepped back slowly as if he was about to make a run for it, but thankfully though, she wasn't attuned to the Force, so he only chuckled and finally turned around to show them the way to the bathroom where anyone who wished it could change. "This is the place."

Inclining his head before turning his head already smelling the scent of cake, Atlantis turned to give them that moment and perhaps they didn't like to be waited on which was why he made his way straight to the kitchen where he found Crystal. He placed his hands on her waist as he went to stand behind her and burrowed his face against the crook of her neck after pecking her there. "Will you be all right?" He muttered softly for he knew that yesterday Crystal seemed to be stressed out and today, he wouldn't be surprised if those thoughts were still on her mind, he knew her that much anyways and any pending matters, she was still bound to think about those until it was resolved.

Lakehouse - Pool

Considering that no one has replied to me yet, I push the matter of grilling aside and turn to look at the Jedi who have arrived with Lover Boy. I cannot help but to smile when the young girl calls out to the child in Ryan's arms currently. Smiling with an amused expression on my feature noticing that she, who I find out soon enough is Morgan, seems really excited and perhaps already wants to be in the water. Then I remember something ... PG, got to keep it PG. My filter, which I usually do not have in a casual gathering is really going to be tested. That aside, when Lover Boy says my name, I lift my hand and wave with a friendly smile before gesturing to what Lover Boy has said about all of them making themselves at home, but soon my smile turns into a a glare as I hear his request.

"Sheesh, and she calls me Placing my hand over my chest with a shocked expression before rolling my eyes a slave driver?! Standing up from where I am sitting I shake my head before rolling my eyes. But since you are playing the messenger, Lover Boy, please tell mom, that I got it loud and clear!"

Turning around to grab the towel over my seat, I dry up my body while making my way towards the grill but I stop on my way over there to make sure that there is still enough cocktails and other non-alcoholic beverages because perhaps some do not want to drink that. "Oh, before you go, I start asking to those that are going indoors with Lover Boy to get changed I am assuming but also those that are not going inside either. did any of you want something in particular to drink? And while I am at it, I toss them another question because ultimately like I have been ordered, I should start grilling. Also what do you all want to eat?"

For once, Franz indeed felt like he was right and what was best? Ayodele didn't even retort him right then and there, so he was smiling knowingly. Though could that really be considered like a win when clearly he was solely stating a truth? Not really no. But in the scale of things, it was still something. Franz, nonetheless, did notice that she didn't exactly answer his question about the teasing, or she did with a simple shrug, but that did not give him enough to go onto. Either she did like teasing him or she didn't...

That was the question, still...

Noticing that Atlantis was coming back with the Jedi, Serrin was one of them, who Franz knew, and the family, Franz waved his hand in their direction when his name had been said by Atlantis before ultimately returning his attention onto Ayodele who still seemed not to want anything to eat or drink. It surprised him someway, somehow for he did know that she liked to drink coffee but insofar she had not requested any if she wasn't the cocktail drinker type. About food? People could go without food for days at a time, that much was a given but water or any liquid sustenance, not so long.

Shaking his head with a knowing smile before looking around and spotting his bottle of water, Franz extended his arm on the side and focused on the Force to pull the bottle of water in his hand. "Or better yet, no need to go anywhere." Franz said with a chuckle as he gestured to his bottle of water, uncapping it in the process and drinking straight from it. Lowering his bottle of water and looking straight at Lily who asked what everyone wished to eat, Franz shrugged noncommittally to begin with before saying loud enough for her to hear. "Meat, any kind of meat, though if you need help, I won't mind." Franz offered genuinely as he capped his water again and looked back at Ayodele gesturing to his water, asking if she was sure she didn't want to drink.

After all with the mist no longer present, the sun was shining and the pool was heated although he preferred not to force her because that was a big no no...

Lakehouse - Kitchen

Crystal was stabbing once each cake to see if the content within seemed fit for consumption already but then she remembered that Ares had purposely made the cakes that way, a fondu. Rubbing the stick with her index finger to taste the batter to begin with, Crystal smiled with satisfaction, enjoying the taste of it, it wasn't too sweet. She'd have to ask him about the recipe of it for when it came to desserts she wasn't that good. Glancing over her shoulder and seeing Atlantis there, while she was washing her hand, Crystal smiled briefly and leaned back against him when she felt his kiss and asking if she was going to be all right.

Often times than not, she never needed to tell him her state of mind, she never needed to let him know how she was feeling, he just knew, like she knew about him. There was of course no point in hiding how she truly was feeling but she could omit, for now, telling him about what she was currently thinking. Sighing softly, Crystal turned around to face him and sat on the counter next to the sink before placing her arms onto his shoulders. "Shouldn't I be asking you that question?" Crystal asked softly and rhetorically, after all compared to her, Atlantis was still the Headmaster of the Mist Order and he was accused of hiding his brother's crimes. It was always just like him, to be selfless and think of others first and foremost even if people didn't understand it first, before himself.

"But yes, I suppose that I'll be okay and besides," Smiling knowingly and meaningfully, she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned over to kiss him softly. "You are here, you are all here." Only not really since some were still missing from this gathering to make it a perfect one which was why she grinned before shaking her head to cast away those thoughts of hers before adding on. "For now, I just want to get through this single day without any hiccups and Lily is determined to make that happen." Releasing Atlantis entirely, Crystal slid down the counter and took his hand and glanced towards the exterior of the lakehouse to indicate that they should join the others even if she'd rather have a moment alone with him right now.

Lakehouse - Pool

Elikapeka, keeping her chin resting on Delaana's shoulder, looks over at Lily with an utterly innocent and mildly baffled expression when asked if Crystal had put her and Delaana up to preventing her from going inside the lakehouse, batting her eyes perplexedly in reply so that she can maintain the portrait of complete innocence she is intent on projecting. Trying to keep a straight face, Elika at least manages not to laugh when Delaana whispers to her, tilting her head slightly to whisper her reply, "No, no you did great, my Ceesi. But, you're right, maybe next time you need to tell your boss that she is on her own if she wants to thwart the relentless lawyer, hmm? Nodding a moment later to agree with Crystal's suggestion that she and Delaana had paid any price there might be to paid for thwarting Lily in advance when at Taspa!, Elika heaves a theatrical sigh of relief when Lily, apparently conceding defeat for the moment, dives into the pool. Phew, Elika jokes, giving Delaana's hand a gentle squeeze, it looks like we survive to fight another day, my Ceesi."

The rest of the anticipated guests arrive shortly after Lily dives into the pool, and Elika waves with her free hand, her thumb keeping her sleeve from riding down, when Atlantis takes on the increasingly daunting task of introducing everyone to everyone else present. The fact that she knows the majority of those present keeps Elika's social anxiety from becoming too pronounced, though she does begin to feel the teensiest bit anxious given the sheer number of beings present despite the fact that she knows how ridiculous and unfounded her anxiety is. Having lived with her condition long enough to have, the majority of the time, mastered the ability to seem unaffected by it, Elika betrays no external signs of feeling any more anxious than usual, and sounds just as cheerful as she has throughout the day when, knowing that giving herself something to do often helps keep her anxiety in check, she asks Delaana, "Should we give Lily a hand with making sure that everyone has anything they might want for now, my Ceesi? Crinkling her nose, Elika jokes, I draw the line at helping her with the grilling though, she's on her own there."

Lukas' undivided attention was on Ryan and the water ball that Ryan had created with the pool water. Giggling, Lukas clapped his hands together with delight when the water ball floated in front of his eyes before it fell back into the pool with a mild splash. Momentarily frowning at the loss of the water ball, Lukas turned his head meeting Ryan's gaze when Ryan asked him if his mommy had taught him that trick yet or not. Poking his bottom lip out, Lukas was thoughtful for a moment before speaking.

'No, but Mommy sed I can know it laters."

He happily informed Ryan before being momentarily distracted by the pretty dark haired woman, Lily, swimming by them then surfacing to tell them that they both looked cute. Lukas giggled, grinning from ear to ear at Lily before his attention was diverted by a familiar voice calling his name. Turning his head in the direction of said voice, he beamed when he saw the Calmcacils - more specifically, Morgan.

"Mogie! It's Mogie!" He glanced back at Ryan with excited happiness on his little face.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nodding with a half grin, Ice glanced around the pool area when Atlantis told her to take her pick of who she wished to get to know first. Upon hearing Ryan inform Atlantis that his guests had arrived, Ice looked back to Atlantis questioningly then she felt two familiar presences, along with two others she wasn't familiar with. She wondered briefly what had brought the Calmcacils to Umgul when Ares had came out of the house asking where Ali's bag was. Not even trying to hide the smirk on her face, she pointed to the lounge chair where the bags were stowed underneath.

Arching an eyebrow, amusement written across her features, she took a drink of her beer as he rummaged through Ali's bag. When he didn't find whatever it was that he was searching for, Ice just shrugged with a grin as he pushed the bag back under the chair and left the pool area. Ice was watching him leave when Atlantis asked her if that happened regularly on Honoghr between Ali and Ares.

"I'm not sure I want to think about, or know, how often that happens...." She quipped with a humorous tone before continuing. "As for your newest guests, I do know three of them. It'll be good to see them again." She smiled sincerely before Atlantis went off to greet the new arrivals.

Ice had been watching Lukas and Ryan, still in the pool, when Atlantis returned to the pool area with the new arrivals in tow. Sure enough, the auras Ice had felt did indeed belong to Aerandir and Morgan Calmcacil. Smiling warmly, she returned Aerandir's nod of greeting and chuckled at Morgans enthusiastic acknowledgement of Lukas. She recognized the other girl with Aerandir as his sister, Michelle, and with them a Twi'lek that seemed somewhat familiar. Atlantis' introductions took care of any confusion on the matter. The Twi'lek was Serrin. Serrin Roma, Ice did, indeed, remember the esteemed Jedi Master and though they had never personally met, they had both been present at the Jedi meeting on Tython a few years ago when Adi had been appointed a Watchmen. Shaking her head slightly to clear that last memory, Ice nodded a friendly polite greeting to Michelle and Master Roma before sitting on the edge of her lounge chair, not wanting to interrupt anyone who might want to speak with the Calmcacils or Master Roma....

Ryan wasn't surprised at all when Lukas told him that he didn't know the water ball trick just yet, it made Ryan assume that he didn't know that much exactly about the Force. Ryan blamed no one in particular about that and he could very well understand, as Ice was sure busy governing Honoghr, no doubt, but it was good that she had managed to take that break and come here for that trip. Ryan's musings were cut short when he felt being pinched and that got him to look at the culprit with a warning and playful expression. Shaking his head with an amused grin on the corner of his lips, Ryan looked back at Lukas with a warm and affectionate expression before nodding to indicate that he was right there will the lil man.

That was until he noticed Atlantis coming back, and he turned to look at the new arrivals but before anything was said or done, the young girl had called out for Lukas and the lil man replied back. "Alright, lil' man, I get it." Ryan said with an amused chuckle before walking towards the edge of the pool and gently placing Lukas on the solid ground again facing Morgan. "Hey Morgan, it's nice to meet you," Ryan said before looking at the father and the aunt of the young girl right there, he waved at them before finally getting out of the pool and since Ryan didn't actually known if Lukas wanted to accompany the Calmcacil family there to change, Ryan crouched by the young boy's side and smiled. "Why don't you wait for her to get change and then you two can have better fun together in the pool?" He suggested before placing his hand onto the boy's head and ruffled gently his hair.

Since earlier he had seen Ares come and go like he was on important business, Ryan wondered what was holding him up, again. "So... with Fly Boy going inside and showing the way to them, does that mean we can access the interiors again?" Ryan asked looking at his girlfriend with an amused expression once more. As after all apparently earlier none of them could go inside and the couple there, whatever they might be doing, well Ryan knew, might have been done? Not really wanting to finding out currently, Ryan walked over to the bar and grabbed his beer before looking expectantly at those that may want something to drink and/ or eat but nevertheless he looked back at Lily and gestured to Franz who had said what he had wanted to eat and he was perfectly fine with that.

Lana kept her facial expression intact, so that she wouldn't be giving anything away to Lily, for she knew that the attorney general often found her cues in the mannerisms of others. But upon glancing to her side, Lana noticed Elika's expression which made her laugh softly before tilting her head from side to side about that fact of letting her boss thwart Lily's plans. "Duly noted for next time my Shakal," Delaana murmured softly before glancing to her side when she noticed that Atlantis had returned with his guests. Serrin Roma, Lana already knew her from meeting last night, the three others not at all but either way she still greeted the four newest arrivals the same way; with a warm smile and brief wave of her hand especially when Atlantis had said Lana's name.

It was indeed getting crowded here and Lana was wondering in the corner of her mind if Elika would be all right with this much people, and even if the majority, Elika personally knew, Lana guessed that it could be daunting from what she knew of Elika. Although she didn't show any overt signs of being worried and her emotions were perfectly in check also, the same lazy and genuine fun she was having. "Are you sure?" Lana asked playfully when Elika suggested they should perhaps give Lily a hand. Lana knew that Elika preferred to be doing something to keep herself occupied but Lana's question wasn't meant to turn down that suggestion, it was a mere joke, which was why she expounded on that fact. "I feel that we might not survive to fight another day." Lana said softly before giving Elika a playful peck and she stood up from her sitting position but also helped Elika up gently before turning to where Lily was and briefly glancing at Elika with an amused expression.

"Are you ready?" She playfully asked once more before grinning, either way, Lana was fine with helping, it wasn't a chore for her at all since that was more or less what she was taught to do.

*Morgan was more than enthusiastic enough to call out to Lukas, which probably saved Atlantis a couple of introductions. Which was a good thing, because there were plenty of introductions to make, Aerandir doing his best to commit each name and face to memory, same as Michelle. The most significant, of course, was Andros, who, in keeping with Atlantis's words from yesterday, didn't exactly radiate fuzziness.

Aerandir greeted each person with a smile and also a nod, or a small wave, or both, while Michelle merely smiled and occasionally nodded. There was some banter, which was relaxing; Aerandir enjoyed some good banter, and being around others who did the same put him at ease. When asked what they would like to drink or eat, someone—Franz, Aerandir believed—simply said "Meat, any kind of meat." Grinning, Aerandir spoke up,* "What he said. Meat is yes. Drinks, well, preferably no alcohol, I'm not the drinking type. And thank you." *He gave another short bow to Lily before he followed Atlantis to the changing area.

Atlantis excused himself and Aerandir muttered another thanks before he vanished, then he set the bag down so that the girls could take their swimsuits out and go change ahead of him. He waited, leaning against the wall with his arms folded. It smelled really good in here. The atmosphere was just so relaxed that it was odd. Two men here were presently in trouble with the media, one the Vice Governor of the planet even, and there were several people dead to a criminal that posed as him. And yet... it was a party. It was almost jarring; if it were Aerandir under scrutiny, he wasn't sure he could do more than fight to clear his name nonstop and do nothing more than take occasional breaks to rest and visit with his family.

Then again, in a way, this was the same thing, was it not? From what he could tell, it was someone else's idea. Not that he felt such a party shouldn't be happening, far from it; if anything, it was a testament to how much the family of the Vyridians supported them and wanted to help them relax in any way possible, which made Aerandir smile a little.

After the girls were done changing and headed to the pool, Aerandir slipped into the bathroom to change into a simple pair of swim trunks. Once ready, he headed back to the pool area, not quite ready to head into the pool, and stood by Ice, folding his arms and smiling at the woman he had the pleasure of Knighting.* "Didn't expect to see you here," *he said simply, stopping short of asking whether or not she too received Atlantis's call; "no drama day," after all, and he didn't want to be the one to break that rule.*

*So many people, so many faces, so many names to remember, and yet, Morgan could only focus on Lukas. He was so cute, and she still remembered the first time he met him, not quite a year old yet, during their first visit to Honoghr. Seemed like so long ago... And now he was a big boy who could walk and talk and no longer wore diapers!

Regardless, she tried to stay focused when Atlantis introduced them to everyone, giving special attention to Andros for a moment; after all, he was the one whose name they were here to clear. But she smiled and occasionally waved, mostly at the people who waved back, as names were given, and the man named Ryan, who was with Lukas, greeted her personally. Morgan giggled and politely gave him a small bow, saying,* "It's nice to meet you too!" *Then he even brought Lukas to her! Well, after suggesting he wait here for her to change then they could go swim together.

Then he started to walk away, and suddenly she started to feel a little guilty, like maybe the two had been having fun together and she had basically just walked in and stolen Lukas from him. Stammering briefly, she called out,* "Y-you don't have to go away! We can all three swim together if you want! When I get back, I mean." *Suddenly noticing her party was about to leave her behind, she jolted and headed towards them, calling over her shoulder,* "Be right back!"

*She caught up to her family, her daddy graciously letting the girls change first. She went inside and changed so fast that she should have beaten Michelle back out and to the pool... but as she pulled one strap over her shoulder, she realized the entire thing was on backwards! So fixing that mistake added a little bit of time, but soon enough she, in her simple purple one-piece bathing suit under which the scar on her left shoulder was visible, was headed back to the pool area with Michelle, wearing a yellow one-piece.

Reaching Lukas, she grinned and first got down on her knees to hug him, declaring,* "I missed you Lukas!" *Releasing him, she stuck her feet in the pool and beckoned,* "Come on in!" *She wasted no time in submerging herself, then surfaced, grinning up at Lukas. She spared Ryan another look, then gave him another inviting beckon should he still want to join, then she fixated her attention back on the toddler with a grin.*

Standing up when Delaana offers her hand, Elikapeka smiles as she says, "I'm sure as sure can be, my Ceesi, and then laughs when Delaana suggests that offering to help Lily might prove detrimental to their efforts to survive another day. Giving Delaana's hand a gentle squeeze, Elika puts on a playfully serious and ultra-confident face as she jokes, I'm ready as ready can be, my Ceesi. And the way I look at it is that offering to help should ensure that we get back in her good graces, so try not to look scared. She can smell fear."

Smiling as she watches Morgan, returning to the pool after changing into her bathing suit, enthusiastically greet Lucas, Elika asks Delaana, "Oh, aren't they cute? Fairly confident that all of the guests have been asked more than enough times if anyone can get them anything, Elika decides that she and Delaana will probably be more helpful if they check to see if there is anything that they can do to help Lily, and so makes her way to the grill to tell Lily with a smile, We're here to give you a hand, beautiful. How can we help? Since it sounds as though meat will definitely be on the menu, Elika offers, Can we can get whatever you'll be grilling, or make some marinade maybe? Or would it be more useful for us to get started on some side dishes instead?"

Lakehouse — Guest Bedroom

After getting the new bikini from his sister and her warning him, Ares winced closing one eye and peering at Crystal with an embarrassed expression on his features. At least Crystal didn't tease him that much, unlike he was certain Lily would have. Stepping into the guest bedroom and closing the door, locking it behind him, he looked at Alisha with a faint apologetic expression and just placed his sister's borrowed swimwear on the bed.

"So... I couldn't find that extra one in the bag by the pool, must have been in the airspeeder which I could have totally looked for but Crystal was nearby and..." Ares rubbed his face knowing that he was babbling and he shook his head before laughing and rolling his eyes. "Either way, from Crystal and a Aerandir..." His voice trailed off for he was so focused onto his objective to getting a next bikini that he wasn't even sure if he got that right. "Either way some people have arrived, and maybe you know them?"

Lakehouse — Kitchen

Atlantis shook his head when Crystal asked him if she shouldn't be the one asking him that question he had asked. Sure his credibility was being questioned, if he really was supposed to lead the Mist Order but truth be told? That was meaningless to him, he was more worried about his brother and what that splash about Andros could influence his brother in his decisions. Atlantis knew that this situation was hard on Andros even if he wasn't showing it through his steel exterior, deep inside Atlantis knew that for Andros it was a tumultuous torment. As for Crystal, Atlantis also knew that she had so many pending issues she was thinking of, plus last night when he felt something from her, he could only assume that it wasn't good at all.

"Whenever you want to talk, alright?" Atlantis rhetorically said for he was pretty sure that she already knew that anyways, he had placed his hands on her waist and leaned over to kiss her forehead affectionately and lovingly before stepping back at the same time she released him. He just looked at her with a faint smile and nodded as he glanced towards the deck as well and then back to what he was wearing. "If there is someone who can prevent hiccups from happening it's the Attorney General." Atlantis said with a chuckle, he just knew that whenever Lily had her mind set onto something, she'd make it possible by any possible means. Atlantis supposed though that he should get changed though he wasn't sure either if he'd be taking a swim in the pool, not with that much people around due to the fact that he was very self conscious about his scars.

That was just him anyways, though he supposed that he'd have to see at some point. "You go ahead, I'll get changed." Atlantis smiled before leaning over to peck her lips once and stepping back once again to completely leave the kitchen where it was smelling good truth be told, and he walked towards Crystal's room, changing the windows setting into a non-transparent one before changing into a dark swimming trunks along with a black wife beater that would at least cover his scars over his torso, abdomen.

Stepping outside soon enough, he went straight to Serrin wherever she might be sitting or standing and looked at her with a warm smile before nudging her shoulder briefly and teasingly just as a hi and looked at her knowingly. "Need anything, and if you want to swim, I am sure that Crystal has an extra bathing suit?"

Lakehouse - Pool

Meat and non alcoholic drink, got it! Giving Aerandir a thumbs up to indicate that I got his requests loud and clear, I turn first towards the bar and fix him up but also his sister and his daughter a non-alcoholic blumfruit cocktail but also do enough so that anyone who wishes that, they can get another. I don't forget to label each mixer that indicates which one has alcohol in it or not ... Soon enough though, I feel like I need to sneeze and many times, which is what I do at the crease of my elbow before looking suspiciously around.

Fist things first though, "Pookie you stay in the pool spend time with her, it's your birthday, Winking at him and smiling knowingly at Ayodele, I roll my eyes playfully before focusing my attention onto Hot Stuff who asks me if it's okay to go indoors, to which I respond with a faint shrug and smile, he can do whatever he wants, I am the one supposedly who cannot go inside apparently since the Hapan Bombshell has prevented me from doing so. Thinking of the Hapan Bombshell, here she is with Gorgeous ... My eyes narrow when Gorgeous starts speaking to me asking if she can help any ways. Taking a deep breath and exhaling dramatically ... Gorgeous, don't think I do not know what you are doing, I let her know playfully before doing a circular movement with my left hand there in front of the couple there. but okay, I will play along."

Laughing softly since I do know that Gorgeous still needs to do something, so I cut the teasing and look around thoughtfully, I will need the meat and some marinade, that's for sure. "Marinade, yes please and the meats in the cooling chamber, I think we have nerf, bantha and shaak, as for the marinade since I'll be grilling, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a touch of lemon, pepper, mustar, but I am sure you know, but if you can think of a better marinade, your choice, one that would go well with the grilled veggies too?" It is a suggestion, although truth be told, Baby Girl is better at this ... Oh my gosh, I need her now on the deck!

"Baby Girl!!! I need your two cents, here and now!" I call out loud enough towards indoors so she can hear me.

Lost in his current thoughts mainly because of those request interviews that he was getting due to what had happened in the city and what he had supposedly done, Andros knew that he wouldn't be able to deal with that thing on his own and it was the reason why he needed some help. At least someone to advise him on what to do and what to say but also peering beforehand at those questions he might have been asked. One thing was for sure, it would have to be a live interview so that it wouldn't be doctored in any ways, or that he wouldn't be set up so to speak. He knew he would have to be truthful but considering that now the media was looking for blood, Andros clearly didn't have a choice.

Grabbing his datapad again, he started to type a message to someone but he stopped right then and then when he noticed Atlantis coming back with the Jedi who were going to apparently clear his name, though he was surprised that two of them seemed to be young, at least one seemed very young. His expression didn't show suspicion at all, and he just looked placidly at the Calmcacils and solely inclined his head when he was introduced to them by his brother.

Still in that same eerie silence he had adopted, Andros didn't do a thing nor did he say anything but returned to his datapad to complete his encrypted message.

Subject: -

Mace,

I know you are first and foremost Raan's political advisor but I need a favor.
Been getting interview requests, need to discuss this with you when you are able.

Thanks.

Andros.

Sighing softly and shaking his head, Andros soon cringe at the sheer volume of Lily's voice when she called out for Crystal, he glanced at the Attorney General and shook his head inwardly amused but again it did not show on his expression for the simple reason that this place was getting crowded, too crowded for his taste, but alas nothing he could do about it and this wasn't his place either to begin with anyways...

"Okay, I will follow your lead, my Shakal," Delaana said laughing softly, if indeed helping Lily out would enable for her and Elika to get back onto the lawyer's good graces, then indeed it was worth a shot. Not showing fear since Lily could smell that, it got Lana to look at Elika with a coy expression before nodding to indicate that she had acknowledged that. "You know best." Winking playfully as there was a big truth in that, Lana didn't spend that much time with the lawyer for she was constantly in the financial department and the only moments they were together at least longer than any other moments they'd cross path in the government building, it was when Lana was invited to have lunch with them.

Lana had of course noticed the interaction between Morgan and Lukas and she definitely agreed with Elika's sentiment, and it showed by the smile on her features as she watched the two children interact with one another. "That they are..." It was when she got to where Lily was, Lana let Elika do all the talking and soon she pursed her lips to stop herself from laughing at what Lily was saying. Lana only looked at the lawyer perplexedly as if she didn't know what Lily was talking about at all. Though about the marinade, Lily seemed to know the ingredients she wanted, which surprised Lana to be perfectly honest since Lily's own words, she was hopeless in the kitchen.

Indicating that she needed a moment, Lana raised her index finger up briefly and poured a non alcoholic beverage for Aerandir who had requested that and brought it over to him waiting for a moment to see if she was interrupting his conversation with Ice, but so far, so good. "Here is your drink, and if you need more, it's over there." Lana pointed out towards the bar "If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to ask." She amiably said and looked at Ice as well to incorporate her to that statement, not lingering there longer than necessary for they might be in the midst of a conversation, Lana smiled once last time and turned around to retun towards the grill only hearing Lily calling out for her boss.

Wrapping her arm around Elika's waist, Lana laughed softly and spoke still looking at Lily saying teasingly. "Sometimes I have a hard time to believe that she is the AG when out of the government building."

Already having anticipated that Lily was actually going to get to grilling, after her brief but good conversation in the kitchen with Atlantis, Crystal nodded but didn't exactly get out of the kitchen just yet as she took different kinds of meat out and placed them on three separate plates before grabbing a bowl and placing all the condiments that were needed within but also a brush and a spoon to mix that up. Thankfully though she had managed to get all of that in her hands and forearms and just when she was about to step out onto the deck, she overheard Lily yelling out for her.

"You need an indoor voice." Crystal jokingly said before she was helped by whomever with what she had been holding and she placed the single plate next to the grill looking at Lily dubiously. "Two cents about what exactly?" Crystal asked with reluctance before smiling and looking at the others noticing that at least they had everything they needed or at least would have anything they needed by now and then she looked back at Elika and Lana. "You are not helping her to grill, right?" Crystal asked teasingly just to make sure before looking back at her childhood friend with a playful expression though she had noticed that the bar was now also stocked with a non alcoholic beverage and she smiled at that before firing up the grill at least for Lily and getting all the utensils for the barbecue and especially the gloves.

"Tong, spatula, and fork, plus the gloves, and I am sure you will do fine, although what did you want to ask me to begin with?" As after all that was what Lily had called her out for to begin with. Either way even if Crystal had placed those conditions on her childhood friend in order to do things in the future, Crystal wouldn't be against helping her, as that was just Crystal to do so anyways.
