Lakehouse - Kitchen
If Lily had been giving Ares the third degree, Crystal wasn't aware of that fact, but then again, was Lily really the kind to be giving third degrees? "As far as I am aware of, no, she hasn't given him the third degree, but then again we can ask her?" Crystal said with a faint shrug, not really convinced that Lily did that to begin with but what Crystal knew, it was no where near close to that. "Actually, what I do know, she convinced Ares to make cake and also played matchmaker again between my brother and his fiancée." Looking upwards with an amused grin, since Crystal did see how Alisha looked like a while ago when she had come by the pool alone, and Lily had clearly stated to not look for the engaged couple. "Though, you do have a point, perhaps she already know what there is to know but then again, that would be violating her rule of the day."
Finishing her count for the plates and the cutlery, Crystal had an idea on how to bring that out, perhaps it would be better to cut the cake outside than just do it here and serve all fifteen plates, that would mean them doing some back and forth. There was of course another alternative, but one Crystal didn't want to get into. Pushing her thoughts away for now and perhaps ask for some help from either their third housemate, or even Atlantis, Crystal for the time being looked at Elika with a smile. "Yes, I do remember, sweetie, but it doesn't excuse the fact that I have put you on the spot out the blue." Really not, at least not in Crystal's opinion, but then again everything was relative in a certain way and since in the end, she knew that she and Elika would be at a stalemate here, she just nodded and moved along right now and she just lifted her hand, when Elika warned her to not even comment. "I wasn't even going to make an allusion to that, besides, I am not a certain relentless person." Giggling on the spot, knowing that speaking that much about Lily would ultimately make her show up, Crystal figured that whatever happened with Andros and Ice, that was between them or not.
Then again, knowing what she knew about Andros and what he had shared the previous night, Crystal wasn't even going to make an allusion to that, and she really hoped that Lily wouldn't play matchmaker there. At least with what they all knew about Andros, Crystal was banking on the fact that Lily wouldn't even lift a finger. Speak of the devil... Crystal looked towards the kitchen's entrance and laughed softly before shaking her head. "Actually, Baby Girl, in Elika's defense, I started it." Winking playfully at her childhood friend, Crystal stopped what she had been doing currently which was to find a cake slicer and looked at Elika thoughtfully. "I know nothing about her, sweetie, so I am the worse person to ask that question, better ask one of my brothers, or..." Dubiously looking at Lily, perhaps she knew something of Ice, but perhaps it wasn't the case when she brought up the name. "Or don't ask her, definitely ask Ryan or Ares, or I can do it, it's no problem." Since Crystal knew that Elika wasn't that comfortable with people she didn't know that much, Crystal and/ or Lily could handle that anyways.
"Also yes, Baby Girl, we meant that and don't play that field," Crystal warned her seriously, not because she did not trust Lily but more because the three of them knew how Andros could be and that also he was in an apparently complicated relationship. "As for how you can help, to facilitate all of this, let's just bring out the cakes and all of that outside and cut them there, because no, even though I could very well bring all of those out, I am not taking the easy way out."

Andros remained quite impassive the whole time Ice seemed to be scrutinizing him. He did not show any outward reaction, and just stared until he arched an eyebrow. Thankfully though that torment of being observed had ended, and he could just release that breath he had been holding. Rubbing his temple for a moment, Andros just grabbed a plate and went to sit, actually nowhere near close to anyone in particular, he had preferred to take a seat and just sit there away from people. To him, he felt that his mood had did a one eighty to how he was earlier. And really, what was Ice’s problem? She never saw a person glaring before or what?
Now, he just wasn’t hungry anymore and he actually just wanted to get his things and walk out of here. What was he thinking when he agreed to be here in the first place? Gritting his teeth slightly, he toyed with his bottle of beer and used that to just toast to what his eloquent brother had toasted to. Still, he had untouched food right there and he just leaned back against his chair, whatever else was being said right there in the recessed area, actually he didn’t really care, he preferred being on his own because it was better that way anyways.
Knowing that he was being his relentless and anti-social self now, and that he needed to do something to soothe his nerves, he took a long chug of his beer and rubbed his face before standing up and heading to where his brother was. “I’ll be back,” Andros said before heading towards the garden and picked up one of the millaflowers, before carrying on where he had intended to go and that was towards the forest that surrounded this property that belonged to the women that lived here.
Looking up the sky one last time and knowing that the mist would be very omnipresent once he left the pool area, Andros really just needed to get away because his agoraphobia was really setting his off, and there was nothing he could really do about that for now which was why he really needed some time alone, or at least away from people he really didn’t know about, plus again being scrutinized that way, even though he didn’t know what the woman was really looking for when she was looking at him, he just despised the attention that way. Taking a deep breath and smelling the flower he had brought with him, he really hoped that it would slower his heartrate…

Laughing her lyrical, amused laugh when Franz says that she need not worry about finishing her food, Ayodele smiles as she teases him, "Well, I had not been worried about finishing everything on my plate like a good little girl, Franz, until you said something about it. Patting Franz's forearm to make it more evident that she is simply being playful, Ayodele tilts her head to the side as he speaks of Lily's alleged superpower, unsure whether or not he is explaining an inside joke of theirs, or merely engaging in more banter. As Lily had actually sneezed before leaving to find her housemates, Ayodele smiles as she says in an amused tone, It does indeed sound like a superpower, and then laughs as she asks, I suppose that means that you and have now made her sneeze, have we not?"
Turning to briefly follow Andros' progress as he takes his leave of the group, Ayodele briefly considers asking if there is any need to be concerned about him or his departure, but discards the notion since she has no way of knowing whether the behavior is out of character for the man or not; though she has, on those few instances she had observed him for any length of time throughout the day so far, noted that he most often seemed preoccupied, and at times frankly uncomfortable.

Oh crap! Franz inwardly muttered fighting the urge to facepalm right then and there and then he felt Ayodele patting his arm and just looking amused, just like always. Narrowing his eyes playfully at her, Franz shook his head and chuckled. "Are you sure that you weren't friends before with the ones you call my striking female friends?" He teasingly asked before smiling and just looking at where Lily had disappeared. Franz inclined his head knowingly and pursed his lips for a brief moment before saying. "I really don't know how that thing of hers work, but whenever I say her name, she does sneeze apparently and when she'll return, she'll be glaring at us, or mainly at her boyfriend, or the one I love to call Model Face." Franz nodded in Atlantis' direction with a wide smirk before looking back at Ayodele. "But yes, I do supposed we have done that, though something tells me that you will be safe from her deadly glare."
Noticing that Andros was walking in their direction or mainly Atlantis', Franz furrowed his eyebrows and frowned briefly before watching Andros just walking away towards the property's forest. Considering that he had been busy, and had not paid much attention to the things around him, as after all he was caught up with getting to know Ayodele further, Franz felt guilty right then and there, and he really felt that he wasn't the right person to go after him and make sure he was alright. Ultimately he looked back at Atlantis and then to where Andros had disappeared, taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes briefly to try and gauge Andros' emotions currently. "You'll have to forgive him, he has a lot on his mind..." Franz explained softly, which was the truth but at the same time considering what he knew about Andros, there might have been something that really set him off. "I'll be right back." Franz told Ayodele with a knowing smile as he stood up from his seat to head towards where Andros had gone off to.

"Oh, yeah, Elikapeka says, crinkling her nose as Crystal's reminder of the no drama policy in effect makes it highly probable that there have been no interrogations going on despite the oft interrogative, out of concern for her friends no doubt, nature of their housemate, You have a good point, hon'. Arching an eyebrow in puzzlement when Crystal follows up her reminder with a somewhat nonsensical, to Elika at any rate since she is not ware of the situation Crystal is jokingly referring to, statement about Lily playing matchmaker between the engaged couple, Elika shrugs her shoulders, deciding she probably doesn't really want to know what the joke behind the comment is. Are these, Elika, having noted that Crystal is searching for something, holds up the cake knife and server she herself had been looking for not a moment ago, what you're looking for, hon'?"
"You're still talking about it, Elika smiles and says in a sing-song voice after Crystal keeps on talking about having put her on the spot earlier even after Elika explained that there was no reason for apologizing given that she has some issues with social anxiety that are probably all-too familiar to her friend. Lily joins them in the kitchen after Elika has given Crystal a playful glare to underscore her desire to put a lid on the issue she and Crystal had been discussing, and Elika smiles at her as, nodding in agreement with Crystal's stating that she was the one to have initially mentioned Lily, she tells Lily, She sure did, beautiful. And, she points a finger at Lily and tries to look stern as she says, we've decided not to talk about that particular subject since we all know how much Andros would hate it if he knew he was being talked about. So, Elika waves her hand upward as though releasing a bird into the air, no more discussing henceforth and forthwith."
Shaking her head after Crystal throws out a few suggestions as to how Elika might be able to learn more about Ice, Elika says in a sing-song, "Not discussing it, remember? As protective as she might be of him, Elika can't imagine that he would appreciate her going full-on high school girl about it, especially when there may not even be a need for her to be concerned, nor is it really any of her business anyway. Setting one of the cakes on the tray she had taken from a cabinet so she can carry it along with the plates, utensils, cake knife and server, Elika hands another cake to Lily as she says, You heard the woman, beautiful, let's get these outside. Leaving the last cake for Crystal to carry, Elka asks Crystal, Do we have everything, hon'?" After they are sure that they have all they need, Elika and her housemates return to the lounge area, where they serve the cake out to those that want some, refill glasses in need of refilling, and get the plates from dinner out of the way of those who are finished with them.
Sitting down beside Delaana with a plate of cake in each hand, Elika smiles as she hands one slice to Delaana, saying, "For you, my Ceesi. After taking a bite of the cake, Elika covers her mouth with the back of her hand, thumb keeping her sleeve in place, and says, Mmm, before she looks over at Ares to tell him sincerely, This is really, really good! Frowning a bit as she notes that Andros and Franz both seem to have disappeared, Elika, trusting that Delaana will know what she is talking about, leans over to ask her in a hushed, concerned whisper, Nothing happened, I hope?"

*Even Lukas was getting in on the toast, and Morgan had to giggle at just how cute he was, even though he did it incorrectly. She looked back to the first woman when she asserted that she must have liked animals. Morgan thought about it a moment, then shrugged and replied,* "Yep!" *When asked if she had any other pets, Morgan grinned and replied,* "Would you believe an acklay?" *Morgan herself knew it was quite unbelievable that such a small and young girl could tame an acklay, so she somewhat-reluctantly clarified,* "Well, I didn't tame him... he was already tamed! But he likes me! His name's Carlos, and he's albino!"
*The first woman gave her name as well as the second woman: Elikapeka and Delaana. Both were somewhat unusual to Morgan, but, smiling, Morgan responded with,* "And I'm Morgan! Nice to meet ya!"
*Morgan nodded to Delaana to confirm her comment that she and Rush had a strong bond, and giggled when she announced her understanding to not touch Lokay's bacon. As far as the names, she offered to help Morgan with those on the basis that girls have to stick together, to which Morgan beamed and said,* "Right!"
*But cake had been mentioned... and Morgan's attention had been piqued. Yes, she still had a little bit of food left on her plate, but who could resist cake?! It seemed Elikapeka and Crystal were both on their way to help with that, so Morgan sat tight, making sure to finish off the rest of her food in the meantime, though not too quickly. Lokay, meanwhile, had finished his bacon and climbed up onto Morgan's lap to curl up there.
It wasn't too long that the cake was out and being served! Grinning when she was given a slice, Morgan said her thanks and, keeping her plate held high so Lokay wouldn't be disturbed, immediately took a bite.* "Mmm!"
*So all in all, it was a good day so far.*

*While Morgan made friends with a couple of the women, Aerandir and Michelle tuned into the adult side of the conversation; something which Michelle, being only twelve, found welcoming and at the same time uncomfortable. It was nice being part of the grownups' conversations, but she felt a little out of place as well. But when Crystal asked if she'd like something non-alcoholic resembling wine, she smiled and shook her head. Holding up her glass from earlier, she replied,* "No thanks, this is fine!"
*Aerandir's joke-intoxication drew attention from Atlantis, who observed that he wasn't a drinker. Chuckling, Aerandir shook his head.* "Not usually," *he replied.* "Alcoholic drinks often taste odd to me, but I won't say no to one on a special occasion."
*Aerandir's other comment, about how Ares and Alisha should enjoy their companionship before the kids come, also drew comments. First from Lily, who almost-accusingly asked Atlantis when he would "pop the question," something he shrugged off. Ryan supported his statement, then jokingly accused him of not helping, something Aerandir only grinned at and feigned covering his face with his hands, palms out.
And then there was cake. Aerandir wasn't entirely sure if he had room for cake, but he would just have to make room. And it was good cake...*

Lakehouse — Gardens
Atlantis lifted his glass in Aerandir's direction as a toast and smirked knowingly. "Perfectly understandable and most of us will certainly drink to that." Since the underaged weren't going to anyways and he soon looked at the engaged couple with an amused grin. But then his attention had been diverted by Franz and he looked at cousin with a jaded expression before rolling his eyes playfully. "You know what, Pookie," Since apparently that was his newest nickname from the residents of this place, Franz really was packing several nicknames. "The glare, that is very easy to deal with, but really what you need to get a taste of, would be Crystal's punches, and really she does pack a punch, the training room here can attest to that." Atlantis said with a wide smile but his smile was short lived especially when he noticed his brother walking in his direction.
Atlantis heard what Andros had said and frowned because that was all he could do right now until he turned to look at Andros and noticed that he had picked up one of the millaflowers...
Before he could go after Andros, Franz was already en route and then another event stopped Atlantis right then and there, the return of Lily, Elika and Crystal, looking at the three women, not really communicating with any of them for now, Atlantis put a finger up and got out of the recessed area to catch Franz first and foremost. Finding him was easy, and when Atlantis did, he placed a hand on Franz's shoulder and looked at his cousin. "Let me take care of it, Franz, just go back there." Atlantis said softly before inclining his head as perhaps there was a chance that he might know what Andros was currently feeling. If not all, at least partially.
Considering this was Andros, perhaps his brother needed to discharge, and it had been a long time since he had not done that. Closing his eyes momentarily to get a sense of his brother who was engulfed by the mist, Atlantis managed to pinpoint quickly Andros' presence before he decided to touch the man's mind and address him privately. I know this is a difficult situation for you, but you are not alone, Andros... You are never alone. Atlantis opened his eyes again hoping that his opening was enough to give him that indication on whether his brother had preferred to be on his own right now, or just anything...

Oh for crying ou- ... Sneezing again, and again, and again, Drek, can I have a moment of peace, please?! It's like I never have a reprieve ... Crinkling my nose and putting a finger up, just in case I may sneeze again, I wait for a few seconds or two and finally take a deep breath. "Either way, you are both at fault here and for the rest, I will blame the guys outside! I tell both of my housemates jokingly, they both know that I do sneeze whenever I am mentioned some place, but clearly it's only whenever a person I am close to that makes me sneeze. Narrowing my eyes soon enough when Gorgeous tells me that there isn't to be a discussion about that matter I have walked into, I tell Elika playfully with an amused grin. Uh, Gorgeous, why are you being a mom right now? And yes, we all know how Andros can be, but as far as I am concerned, I wasn't even referring to him, per se."
Now Baby Girl is asking me not to play that field, well then ... Sorry Ice, you are on your own there. Lifting my hands in surrender and agreeing unequivocally to Crystal's order, I nod and let her know, "That's out of my hands, clearly and besides, I am sure that they can settle that, however, I don't care, I really don't, it's not my life and sure it's Andros', but as far as I am concerned he is a grown up man that can make his own decision and despite me giving a piece of advice to Ice previously, that will certainly be my last. Sure." Securely holding one of the cakes that Ares has made, I clearly look at it and smile, this really should be appetizing, and I wait there for a little while longer to make sure that we have everything we need to be brought outside.
Crap ... The moment we step outside, the first thing I notice is that Pookie and Boss Man are no longer there and then my gaze crosses Lover Boy, I momentarily frown wondering what has transpired here. Gosh, that cannot be good, Although for now I am not saying a thing at all because I really don't want to say something that may put everyone in an awkward mood, instead I occupy myself by actually just putting down the cake and taking the plate from Gorgeous. "Thanks. I tell her with a grin before sitting back down to eat a piece of it, nodding soon enough in agreement to what Elika has just said. What she said, lovely cake. Really the whole cooking and whatever does run in your family. I comment to no one in particular before glancing back to where Atlantis has disappeared, where I am sure Franz and Andros as well have gone off too. So, now that the people I usually blame aren't no where to be found, Turning to look at Ryan with a glare, a deadly one. And you are on your own right now, want to tell me what exactly you have been plotting or should I dunk you into the pool? Later."

Delaana's first reaction to Morgan saying that she had an acklay, Lana's eyebrows went up in surprise, but then again anything was possible with those that possessed the Force on their side, and since she saw the young girl earlier using it, that was not improbable at all. Lana had a feeling that there was certainly more to this little girl than met the eyes, but currently, she just laughed softly at the acklay's name and the description of it. Perhaps later, she and Elika would be able to speak more with Morgan, and when she had given her name again, Lana smiled warmly and inclined her head. "The pleasure is all mine," Glancing briefly at Elika with a knowing smile, Lana added on. "Ours, definitely."
Winking soon enough at Morgan when she in fact acknowledged that girls had to stick together, Lana was soon ready to stand up to help Elika to get the cakes, but Crystal had prevented her from doing that. Not really having that much of a choice, Lana smiled and nodded to Elika before looking briefly around overhearing some snippets of conversations that were occurring there in the lounge area.
A lot of things happened, that was a fact, but what Lana mainly focused on was Andros who had decided to just be on his own. She knew him to an extent, but the fact that he seemed his usual self now compared to how he was previously, that was surprising, maybe it had something to do with what had been said? Actually she didn't want to second guess, for Andros' mind really worked in mysterious ways and he was always near the complicated case.
Keeping a neutral face for now, Lana looked at Elika when she returned and even got a hold of the plate given to Lana. "Nothing that I am aware of..." Lana murmured with uncertainty before closing her eyes momentarily to remember a few things that she might have seen, and one of the things she had seen, it was Ice and Andros together there previously, but nothing happened there, not that she was aware of. "Perhaps, he has been starting to feel a little suffocated?" It was and had always been obvious to Lana, why Andros always preferred to be on his own most of the time, unless the ones that were surrounding him were people he really cared about. Either way, Lana looked at Elika with a faint saddened expression because she knew Elika truly did care about him, like he did for Elika...

Crystal nodded with a knowing smile, that if Lily had indeed interrogated Ares, that would mean a violation of the no drama rule of the day, but at the same time, Crystal could not help but to keep on thinking about what it was Ares had been wanting to speak about when Ryan had received his comm the previous night. For now, she really did not know what she was doing, and when Elika had asked her if those were the things she had been looking for, Crystal grinned and nodded again. "Yes, I am so out of it, sorry sweetie." Crystal rolled her eyes playfully and closed the drawer before looking over to her childhood friend who again was sneezing.
"We haven't really decided anything, it was more of a unilateral decision from Elika, but at this point, I am definitely siding with her, so consider me breaking the potential last stalemate of the day, because I am definitely bowing out of all kinds of serious conversations right now that require decisions and whatever." Rubbing her temple briefly, Crystal took a deep breath and closed her eyes momentarily and stayed mute when she felt something strange. Perhaps it was her own emotions being at play right now so she didn't really dwell into that, instead Crystal checked one last time if they had everything. "I believe that now we do, sweetie." Crystal said softly before looking at her childhood friend glad to know that she was washing herself from that supposedly thing, and agreed to not even play that field.
Just when they all have returned to the lounge area, Crystal noticed that Andros and Franz were no longer to be seen, which made her look straight at Atlantis but he said nothing at all but just lifted his finger to indicate that he needed a moment. He always did that whenever he needed to deal with something. Returning to her previous seat with a plate in hand, Crystal put the plate on the table first and closed her eyes momentarily, hoping that Andros would be fine, since she was certain that Andros was the first one that left and not Franz. Breathing deeply and softly, Crystal picked up her plate once more, just so she would have something to do and just ate the cake that Ares had made, smiling at her brother, she blinked once to let him know that she really was enjoying the taste.
Unable to really hold that thought of hers off, Crystal turned to look mainly at Serrin as there might have been a chance that she might have seen what had caused Andros to just pull away and not actually eat. She addressed the Twi'lek privately once she connected herself to the current of the Force. Did you see what has caused him to up and leave? Crystal was quite aware that she was breaking the rule right now, but this was Andros, under pressure due to those accusations and everything else, the responsibilities he had lately, that was just inhuman.

Tchun, my left lekku, coils its prehensile tip around my bicep as, while enjoying the cake that has been brought out, I feel Crystal's mind connect telepathically with mine. While I saw nothing in particular that seemed to bring Andros' discomfort to a head, or that would appear to have directly influenced his somewhat abrupt departure from the pool area, I do feel that I have enough insight into his personality to guess what may have brought his departure about, and so, maintaining the telepathic link Crystal had forged, send a series of impressions and images to her to propose a possible answer to her question; beginning with an exaggerated scene of Andros surround by everyone present - exaggerated to convey a sense of claustrophobia and of being under intense scrutiny - to suggest how he may have felt. I include a sense of my own uncertainty along with the quick set of images, to convey that I am not entirely sure of my interpretation of what may have led to Andros' departure.

Smiling in amusement when Franz jokes about her having known his friends before now, Ayodele tells him in an amused tone, "I feel quite certain I would have remembered having been friends with your friends before now, Franz. Laughing delightedly when Franz explains the nature of Lily's rather unique "superpower", and in a way that makes it evident that he is not exaggerating or making a joke of some kind, Ayodele says, How remarkable! Though I somehow doubt that she will thank you for providing her with the means to have demonstrated that curious ability of hers several times now."
Nodding when Franz explains that Andros' departure is more likely than not due to the fact that he has a great deal on his mind, Ayodele smiles as he heads off to look after his friend, though she herself is not certain that the man wishes to be looked after; some leave gatherings to be followed, after all, while others leave because they truly wish to be alone for a time. Hopefully, Aodele thinks, Franz's friend will not be put even more out of sorts by the fact that his departure has succeeded only in drawing more attention to himself when further attention might be precisely what he hopes to escape.

Ryan narrowed his eyes at Aerandir when he just grinned and covered his face before turning to lookat both Ali and Ares with an innocent expression. "Hey, he said it, so I have only just done the warning." He said factually, not that it really mattered that much for he was very certain that both Ali and his brother would make tremendous parents.
What he did not expect to begin with, or actually that is a lie, Ryan knew that sooner or later, Andros might be needing some space, and to be perfectly honest? Ryan wasn't that bothered about Andros' demeanor, he might have grown up with the man but after a certain period in time, he knew that Andros had just changed and wasn't the same as before. He was in no position to go after him because in the very end, Ryan and Andros didn't communicate that much anyways, at least not anymore.
Ryan looked at his sister and her housemates, and he paid closer attention to his girlfriend before getting his own plate of cake. Ryan feigned shock and just looked at Lily. "Hold on a second, what do you mean the people you usually blame?" Deep inside, he knew what Lily was doing, just trying to avert a certain awkwardness, at least it was what he was banking on. "You usually blame me more even when Fly Boy is around." Ryan raised an eyebrow and just looked at Lily with an amused grin. "Stavamo solo discutendo tuoi starnuti, amore. Quindi non ti preoccupare..." (We were just discussing your sneezing. So don't worry about it.) Ryan casually said with a playful wink before glancing at the pool right then and there. "If you still want to dunk me in the pool, go for it." He casually added on, before taking a bite of his cake and enjoying it, actually it was really good, and that got him to look at the engaged couple there, playfully. "You still managed to make the cake and tend to her, well well."

Just when he was about to reach out to Andros, Franz felt a hand on his shoulder that got him to look over it and noticed that it was Atlantis. He inclined his head and figured that Atlantis would know best on how to deal with this but at the same time, he wanted to see if Andros needed anything, or just some company if he wished it. Though he was thinking that Atlantis was better suited for that, as he and Andros had a deeper connection. They were after all identical twins. "Just call if you need anything..." Franz murmured, although he was sure that Atlantis wouldn't be needing anything. Turning on his heels, Franz walked back towards the gardens but actually he stopped before factually getting back there.
He knew that the women that were previously in the kitchen were back there with everyone and if Franz came back alone, he really did not know how they would react really, but he could always say that Atlantis was with Andros, no? He really had no idea on how to deal with this whole situation, and it really was often difficult. Then again, nothing was simple and he was fine with that, if life had dealt him a great hand, it would be very unlikely for him to be here now.
Finally moving forward, the first person he actually went to see was Elika, and he looked at her with a supportive smile before inclining his head but then again he crouched next to her and lowered his voice. "Atlantis is currently speaking with him." Actually Franz didn't really know that, but he knew Atlantis enough to know that he would reach out to his brother, either verbally or just privately. Standing up to his fullest, Franz went to take a plate and cut a piece of cake before returning to his seat, next to Ayodele.
Overhearing Ryan speak in his family's dialect, Franz looked from him to Lily before turning his attention back onto Ayodele with a sheepish smile this time. "I suppose that it'll be no cake for you, right?" He asked with a knowing smile, after all she did not eat much and therefore he put that under the category of not really hungry. "I am really sorry for abruptly leaving, when obviously, I should have known that Model Face would be doing the same."

The impressions and images that Serrin relayed to her, Crystal understood those perfectly. Nodding faintly in acknowledgment and smiling to her as a thanks, Crystal broke off the telepathic connection before taking a deep breath just to refocus onto something, but clearly her thoughts were on Andros and Serrin was clearly right about him. What really might have set him off perhaps already started to well just at that moment when Alisha had suggested to him to put some sunscreen on Ice, and then perhaps there was something else... Something Crystal realized after thinking a long time, she remembered Ice looking at him, and considering that Andros wasn't really comfortable with people he did not know, he might have taken that the wrong way and not the actual way...
So yes, claustrophobia must have been his trigger.
Crystal took a deep breath and finally ate a piece of her cake, but her mind clearly wasn't into it, though she had to admit that indeed, Ares' cake was good. "Ares, you better not leave without giving me the recipe for the cakes, or I will find you and you won't like the outcome." Crystal playfully threatened him, she did not mean that of course, why would she even want to hurt her very own brother? Even though he was absent for a long period of time, and that she and Ryan had been trying to contact him, he must have had his reasons.
Soon enough, Crystal looked over her other brother who just decided out of the blue to speak to Lily in their dialect, which caused Crystal to roll her eyes. "Please don't set her off..." Crystal told him with an amused grin, she just like Elika knew just how Lily could turn whenever they spoke in that dialect. "And Baby Girl, Ryan is right, you usually blame him more, because while you do that, I blame Atlantis, or really I just punch him." Winking at her childhood friend before shaking her head, Crystal looked over to where Elika and Lana were sitting, and just blinked. Crystal knew that Elika would be worried for Andros but right now the only thing they could do was to wait and hope that Atlantis would soothe him one way or the other.

Elikapeka frowns when Delaana says that she hadn't observed any one thing that might have caused Andros to leave on his own, and then nods slightly in agreement with the suggestion that feeling a bit suffocated may have been the root cause. Knowing Andros as she does, and knowing that he shares her discomfort with crowds, especially when he is not familiar or comfortable with everyone present, Elika can understand all too well how Andros may have felt uncomfortable with such a large group, and naturally enough, for her, Elika begins to feel guilty about having invited him to such a large gathering, and about being so wrapped up in her own little world with Delaana that she made no effort to keep an eye on Andros.
Smiling gratefully, if a little distractedly, when Franz returns and lets her know that Atlantis has gone to check on his twin, Elika says quietly, "Thanks," and bites her lower lip as she debates whether or not she should also go to check on Andros. Deciding that it would probably only make things worse for Andros if she were to start hovering when he may prefer to be left alone, Elika shakes her head and tries to focus on what is going on around her rather than brooding on things that she cannot help at the moment.

Whether I am looking at Ryan jadedly or like a plain dimwit, I really have no idea, really I am trying to go for jaded, but I can't ... Why does have have to do that?! "You are such an ass ... I mutter under my breath after I have gathered enough of my bearings. He freaking knows what happens to me whenever he speaks in that dialect. Don't start, Baby Girl, I start telling her with a finger up before turning to look at her and asking, Mind translating for us who only know Basic?" While I did understand a few words here and there, it still doesn't make me understand what Ryan has said entirely.
I could probably ask Ryan or Ares there, but nope, Crystal will do ... Noticing from the corner of my eyes that Pookie has returned, alone, Lover Boy must have remained with his brother. After all overcrowding Boss Man is already a bad mood and I am not even certain that he currently wants company. Okay, gotta think of something entertaining before the mood downs further, because Gorgeous right there is clearly worried for Andros. Part of me wants to reassure her that Andros will be fine, but then it will make the current situation very real, so I am hoping that the Hapan Bombshell will just do the trick.
Think, think ... Right! Looking over the engaged couple right there, I smirk knowingly before turning to look at Baby Girl. "So ... Now that we have returned, why don't we hear that proposal story? That will hopefully buy me some time to think of something else for later, and besides, I don't really see Boss Man needing to know all the details. Plus he is a guy, and he might think it's too girl. So please spill, something tells me from Ice's earlier tone, it really must be one heck of a proposal."

An amused smile curling the left corner of her lips upwards after Franz has correctly guessed that she will be declining the offered cake, Ayodele answers in a playfully teasing tone, "I may have a tiny bite of yours, Franz, but otherwise no, no cake for me just now." Her smile fades when Franz apologizes for the abruptness of his departure, though in sympathy rather than displeasure. Reaching over to gently rub his shoulder to silently let Franz know that he need not feel as though he should apologize for being concerned for his friend, Ayodele neither says anything further on the subject, nor asks any questions as to what may have led to Andros' leaving; feeling that doing so would in all likelihood prove unwelcome in any event given how tight-lipped Franz is on most subjects.

Franz smiled sheepishly once more when Ayodele told him that she may have a tiny bite of his cake. That would definitely be perfectly fine for him. Why wouldn't it be, anyways? But before he could get into that, considering that he had just apologized, he felt her hand on his shoulder and just looked at her gratefully, not only for the comfort but at the same time for the fact that she didn't necessarily ask him what had caused Andros to leave in the first place.
Franz couldn't explain something right now, but he really was grateful for her presence, which was why, he slowly reached up for her hand and took it in his before kissing her knuckles gently. "You seem to always know what to do to comfort me..." Franz murmured softly as he looked into her eyes and smiled warmly before he slightly tilted his head on the side as he added on. "Same goes to knowing what to say." Grinning once more as he gently squeezed her hand, he finally released it and looked at his cake, cutting a little piece of it for her, "Now, do you mind if I do something cheesy and actually feed you that tiny bite of cake?" He asked playfully as he looked at his fork and held it up for her.
