Elikapeka laughs softly when Delaana suggests that Atlantis might find being teased by her nerve wracking, shaking her head in amused protest as she says, "No my Ceesi, I think he enjoys being teased by me, or by any woman really, far more than he probably should. Well, she adds playfully while tilting her head to the side and crinkling her nose as though giving the question additional thought, maybe being teased by Lily is occasionally nerve wracking for him now that I think about it. Especially when the teasing is accompanied by shouting." Giving Lily a wink, as the woman not only has an uncanny knack for knowing when she is being talked about by anyone, but Elika had also deliberately been speaking with enough volume that Lily would easily hear her playful comments, Elika bats her eyes with what she hopes is an adorably disarming and innocent smile sure to diffuse any real or pretend ire Lily might contemplate bringing to bear.
Nodding once more to agree with Delaana, Elika smiles as she repeats Delaana's words back to her, "That is just Lily, yes. Looking a little bit reluctant and torn between her answer and its opposite, Elika shakes her head as she says, No namana for me just now, my Ceesi. Maybe later." While Elika enjoys namana, and the euphoric state the drink famously engenders, she also has no desire to risk allowing herself to be swept away by the drink's effects and possibly embarrassing herself. Anxiety about the potential for social embarrassment is not, however, the sole reason Elika decides to do her best to avoid the temptation to lose herself in intoxication; for she also wants to be entirely present and in full possession of her faculties to more completely take in and enjoy the time she is spending with Delaana. Even though a part of Elika has difficulty accepting that someone like Delaana has any interest in someone like her, and another part of Elika feels that allowing herself to be attracted to Delaana and to even contemplate exploring their blossoming relationship is a betrayal of what she had with Noelani, Elika is determined to do all that she can to keep her personal demons and quirks from preventing her from moving forward even though she has allowed those very things to do just that in the past.

"Oh it was a very interesting movie, Ryan. One of our favorites, in fact. It explored a lot of different things....and stuff."
Ali replied with a hint of a teasing grin, leaving him to speculate just what kind of "things and stuff" she was talking about as she accepted a glass of the namana that was offered while she met Lily's gaze with a serious look.
"You don't know know just how hard it is for us to get a cake made in under two hours. All the ingredients need to be measured just so and the batter needs to be taste tested, often, for quality. It is quite taxing indeed, but oh so much fun once we start..."
She couldn't keep up the facade any longer as a mischievous smile played across her lips, chuckling lightly as Crystal commented that it was a more plausible excuse than the one Lily had apparently given about the bed. Smiling again, she saluted Lily and Crystal with her drink before bringing the glass of namana to her lips and downing the shot. Setting the glass on the table in front of her, she noticed Andros had rejoined the conversation as he spoke to Franz, reminding him that Atlantis would sing and/or dance if he drank enough. When Andros rose from his seat, she saw that he was looking, and more than just a glance too, at Ice as he walked behind her to pick up a shot of namana from a tray. Raising an eyebrow, Ali tilted her head slightly to the side and met Ice's gaze when her cousin looked up at her. Inclining her head ever ever so slightly, Ali looked quickly from Ice to Andros then back to Ice again.
Arching a questioning eyebrow, Ice looked behind her just in time to see Andros look away and pick up a shot from the tray. Meeting Ali's eyes again, Ice looked a little confused for a moment. Amused, Ali pursed her lips before picking up another shot and stood up from her seat by Ares to walk over and hand it to Ice. "Here, you may need this, chérie." She whispered close to Ice's ear with a smirk before sitting down in the lounge chair next to Ice's and glancing over to the children in the pool.

"I told him it was an action movie and that's why it was loud and noisy. Luckily he's still young enough to accept the answers I give him....but yes, I'm letting her explain those noises and other "things and stuff" to him next time."
Ice waved a hand toward Ali while replying to both Ryan and Lily with a laugh. Shaking her head with a small grin, she didn't comment on the cake making because she knew the answer to that particular scenario and was pretty sure the majority of the people present knew it too - given the exception of the children who didn't seem to be paying attention to the adults various conversations all that much anyway. Instead she just let Ali give her explanation of hers and Ares' cake baking techniques while Ice looked back over to the pool and Lukas and Morgan.
Lukas was giggling,holding onto the edge of the pool while he made his way over to the steps to stand up and watch as Morgan formed a water ball and playfully teased him with more punishment. Clapping his hands together, he plopped down on the first step with a splash and some more giggles.
"I like da water balls, Mogie!" He exclaimed happily with a wide smile, his eyes glued to the water ball that Morgan had carefully formed and was now floating in the air in front of her. "Gimme da water ball, pwease!" He pleaded adorably with Morgan, his little arms held wide, a big grin plastered on his face as he watched Morgan, and more importantly, the precious water ball she had control of.
Smiling softly, Ice's gaze wandered over to Ali just as Ali was looking at her. For a second or two she didn't understand what Ali was subtly trying to tell her until Ali's eyes darted quickly behind Ice then back to Ice herself. Turning her head to glance behind her, Ice's eyes met Andros' for a brief second before she turned back to Ali with a look of slight confusion on her face. It wasn't until Ali stood up, and brought her over a shot of the namana, and whispered to her, that Ice realized what her cousin had been trying to silently convey. Andros had been looking checking her out! Taking the glass from Ali's hand, she quickly shot it back and set the glass on the table between them. She felt the small burning sensation from the namana in her throat and tasted the fruitiness of the liquid on her tongue before a comfortable, slightly euphoric feeling spread through her. It had been a while since she had last had the drink and had forgotten that warm fuzzy feeling that came with it.
Warm fuzzy feeling aside, she wasn't sure whether or not to revel in the fact that the brooding one had been checking her out or be worried about why he was checking her out. Wow, it was just getting really warm, or maybe it was just the namana....or maybe, if what she thought she saw in those brief seconds their eyes met was really what she saw then that meant....oh hell! She suddenly felt the need to be away from the poolside area, if only for a few moments, to gather her thoughts. Leaning toward Ali she whispered in her cousins ear. "I'll be back in a few minutes. Will you watch Lukas, please?"
With a knowing smile and a nonchalant wave of her hand, Ali assured Ice that she'd watch after Lukas. Amused at Ice's sudden bout of seeming shyness, Ali watched her retreating form disappear into the house before turning her attention back to Lukas and Morgan, smiling at Lukas' pleading with Morgan to give him the water ball.

Andros just kept looking at his brother for the longest time in silence, "Let's hope so, Atlantis..." Andros said thoughtfully, trying to let go of all of his worries and to enable him to do that, Andros did take the second shot glass and downed it. Putting the glass down onto the table, Andros closed his eyes briefly before opening them again feeling the euphoria from the namana. Shaking his head briefly Andros knew that he at least needed to try to control his alcohol intake because he really didn't want to let loose that much. Taking a seat in the recess area momentarily, Andros took a deep breath and actually the feeling the alcoholic beverage was a welcoming one, and he seemed to have a genuine smile on the corner of his lips while he heard a little bit of conversation from the people around.
Lifting his head briefly and looking over at Elika with a faint smile, he even looked at Delaana with a grin, maybe it was out of character for him right now, since he was still smiling but heck he could blame the effects of namana, but still Atlantis did have a point and come what may. He even started to hum while Atlantis was singing. He even looked at the couple there with a knowing smile since he really knew how Atlantis felt towards Crystal and well a part of him was envious of that but that was all in the past now, and insofar, he was really just at a standstill with whatever he had with Lara Drake...
Sighing softly, Andros leaned back and noticed that Ice was heading inside wondering now, what was going on with her... Rising from his seat knowing that in a way he had to apologize to her for his earlier behavior, he was just oblivious to what was going on with her this time. "Be right back..." Said Andros to no one in particular before heading towards the lakehouse.
Lakehouse - Indoors
Andros stepped inside and took a deep breath before tilting his head from side to side to relax the muscle around his neck. He really needed to splash some water on his face before at least talking with Ice, but as he was heading there, he noticed that so was she. "Well, it looks like we have the same destination, but since you were first, please, after you." Andros told her just looking straight at her with a darkened expression, again the alcohol right then and there, and he wanted to say something else, but he did not because again, she might have wanted to go to the bathroom for real.

Having felt his presence behind her, Ice walked until she got to the bathroom door. Stopping she turned to face him, folding her arms across her chest and meeting his gaze as he spoke. She didn't really need to use the bathroom, she just needed to get away from everyone and clear her head for a moment. As she stood there matching his darkened stare with her own, one thought came to mind. A rather bold thought at that. Tilting her head a little to the side, she let her gaze slip from his eyes to his mouth. In that instant, all thought and reason left her as she unfolded her arms and placed them gently on his shoulders then did something she never thought she'd do. Smiling briefly, albeit with a little mischief showing in her green eyes, she went up on her tip toes and kissed him.
Pulling away, she stood back, her hand coming up to her mouth. What the hell did she just do? Did she really just do that? Yeah, she really did just do that. Oh for hells sake. Well if he disliked her before then he probably really despised her right about now and she couldn't really blame him if he did. Catching his gaze again, she took another step back as she rubbed a hand over her forehead.
"I - I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I had no right to...." Her voice trailed off momentarily as she clenched her jaw while looking away. No, dammit, she wasn't going to apologize to him....again. And she damn sure wasn't going to spend the rest of her time here walking on eggshells around him. He could be moody and broody all he wanted but gahd dammit, she was not going to let his mood swings detour her. Looking up at him again, a determined spark in her eyes, she spoke once more. "You know what? No. No, I'm not sorry. I've wanted to do that since we first arrived, just to get some kind of reaction out of you other than a brooding one. So....yeah." She temporarily ran out of words to say as her mind raced while she held his gaze, almost daring him to do or say something, anything. She braced herself for the tirade she was sure to come.......

Gasping, pretending to be shocked by Baby Girl's statement, I just look at her with an amused grin before shaking my head. "Well ... Yes, but the whole 'default in manufacturing' totally could have worked, which in fact did, so as long as the person in front of you believes it, then I am perfectly happy with that. Laughing in amusement because that has been the story that I have said a while back, but each and every person who you knows me, pretty much knew why that bed broke. As I have no doubt that you can equally fire back, Kayne, I really do not doubt it ..." Winking playfully to my childhood friend, I just let this particular matter slide because really this isn't a conversation to be had with this much people that I do not know that much, plus there are children. And she has just told me to actually keep it PG, obviously ...
Looking towards Boss Man and hearing that he has actually joined the ongoing conversation, I cannot help but to smile at that, because really, he does seem relaxed now. At least I hope he is, and he actually seems to be, but something in particular catches my attention. Well, well ... Andros did look at Ice for far longer than usual and she seems to be oblivious, but putting that matter aside since I have promised to not even do anything, I just end up looking at Alisha who has been addressing me. "I am sure that you do find and explore many things once you start making a cake."
Pleasantly content right then and there, I do down the shot even before Baby Girl tells me to, and just wiggle the shot glass right there for her to see, but before I can even say anything, I do overhear Gorgeous talking about me to the Hapan Bombshell. Blowing a kiss in Gorgeous' direction, I wink back at her and smile in content, especially that after downing namana, there is that little euphoric state that I do feel, but it doesn't really last long, unless I do wind up drinking shots after shots like the identical twins seem to be doing. "Say, Baby Girl why don't you ha— ..., Letting my sentence trail as I notice that Crystal seems deep in her thoughts right now, I am about to ask her if she is okay but Lover Boy obviously has noticed his girlfriend's mood and ... Awww ... He is singing to her, and Boss Man is humming?! Blinking a few times, because I am clearly surprised that not only Lover Boy is singing when he has refused a few times to Boss Man humming and smiling and now the latter is up and leaving after Ice has just gone inside, he just follows her. Yeah ... That just happened. I say to no one in particular, biting my lower lip to stop myself from giggling. After making sure I have controlled my amusement, I look at Lover Boy with a knowing smile. You should do that more often, Lover Boy. Your girlfriend is a hopeless romantic." Taking a new shot glass, and actually another, I hand one to Crystal with a knowing smile for her to take and drink.

Andros was still looking at Ice, just pouring his gaze onto hers. And then that happened, she kissed him, he wasn't really expecting that from her. For a moment he said nothing and just listened to what she was saying, it wasn't as if he had returned her kiss, because he in fact did not, but he just stared right at her in silence...
What he felt right now, he really couldn't just describe it, it was just a torrential feeling, and he just didn't know how to express himself right now, because fact was, he really wasn't good with words, and there was Ice right in front of him, admitting she just wanted to do this to begin with just to get a reaction from him. "So, yeah..." Andros repeated, not really knowing why he had repeated that, but Andros looked down at her and without a warning, he wrapped an arm around her waist and picked her up from the ground, pinning her roughly against the wall and kissing her fervently.
But before he even carried on, he pulled his head back and looked at Ice with a darkened gaze. "What kind of reaction did you actually want to get from me?" He asked with a deep slightly breathless voice, before he tilted his head on the side to just kiss her neck and remember her scent, branding it to his mind. Part of him knew that this was wrong, but at the same time he couldn't just press pause on his life, he wanted to have some fun, nothing more, nothing less. Pulling his head back again, knowing full well where they were and knowing that there were many people outside, who could really speculate whatever and get it right, Andros furrowed his eyes and just looked at her questioningly as if to ask if she was sure she wanted to take this further...

Still grinning, Morgan asked,* "You liked that?!" |

Being teased by Lily, personally for Lana, could be nerve wracking put in Atlantis' situation, but the man seemed to be okay with it from what Lana noticed. While she didn't really understand much of Atlantis' underlying reasoning for always wanting to be in trouble with the women, "Perhaps one of these days, I may ask the reasons, it is after all fascinating." Lana said playfully, not that she would actually ask that question to Atlantis because a part of her could guess the answer, but at the same time it really wasn't her place to question why Atlantis was actually that way, and everyone anyways seemed to enjoy it or found it amusing.
Laughing softly at the ongoing interaction happening around her, Lana just decided not to comment further, as she really didn't want to be in the middle of something that wasn't really her concern, which was why she only kept her silence and just decided to focus essentially onto Elikapeka. Though she did notice that Andros seemed much more relaxed, for he had joined all of them right now and he was mainly interacting with his brother while Lily seemed to be just Lily. "Mhmmm, nothing much more to say about that, huh?" Lana teasingly said as she turned to look at the Attorney General, but she also seemed to have noticed that Crystal was just lost in her thoughts. Lana smiled warmly hearing Atlantis singing for her after denying multiple times that he wasn't going to sing at all.
"I suppose that now we can add that not only he enjoys being teased by women but can also be a little contradictory..." Lana smiled warmly just looking at the interaction between Crystal and Atlantis. They really were meant for one another, just seeing them, Lana felt a little guilty deep down, which she did not show on her features at all, and when she looked at Elika who refused namana for the time being, Lana smiled warmly and inclined her head. "Okay, my Shakal," Lana said softly, and just when she was about to add something else, she noticed from the corner of her eyes that Andros seemed to have gone inside after Ice... Not really wanting to get into that, Lana brushed that off, and smiled once more actually picking up one of the namana shots, and drinking one. Closing her eyes briefly and tasting that fruity taste, Lana shook her head slightly and opened her eyes once more to put the glass down. "Do not let me go over two of those." Lana said with an amused grin, while she could hold her own, she preferred to keep a really crystal clear mind considering that at the same time she was still on an assignment...

Momentarily brought out of her own thoughts, Crystal looked at her childhood friend who was had not finished her statement at all, and before Crystal could ask Lily anything, Atlantis had sat down next to her and actually started to sing... There was just something about his voice that appeased her. Just actually having him nearby made her feel appeased, she had closed her eyes smiling and listening to that song, dimming everything around her. Taking his hand, she squeezed it gently and opened her eyes to just look at him and listen to what he was saying after he was done singing. Resting her head on his shoulder, she took a deep breath. "It was sweet..." Pulling her head back, she looked at him and pecked his lips lovingly before nodding though she was certain that he knew that it was easier said than done and she couldn't quite promise to do what he had just told her.
"For the day, and hopefully, I will manage to do just that." Crystal looked at her childhood friend, but when she did, she noticed that both Andros and Ice had disappeared, which got her to furrow her eyebrows dubiously. Well... That was none of Crystal's business, actually and well whatever right? However that made her wonder about a few things, but whatever again, like she had implied to Atlantis she would just try to forget about anything troubling her for the day, even though she still needed to speak with her brother over there.
Getting back on track, and still having her attention onto Lily, Crystal gestured to one of the shot glasses and winked at her friend. "I do hope that you have enough of that because something tells me that the bottle will be emptied quickly..." Which seemed to be the near case considering that it looked like it had already been drunk. "Make me drink enough, and I may sing, but instead of with my dear brother," Looking at Ryan with an amused smile, she soon diverted her attention onto Atlantis. "I choose him." Winking at Atlantis and pecking his cheek, Crystal nudged him gently and smiled. "For me? Well again and at least with me?"

Time seemed to stretch in the relative silence of the hallway as they stared at each other until Ice felt his arm snake around her waist as he lifted her and pinned her up against the wall, kissing her with unrestrained fervor. As their lips met she slid her arms around his neck, kissing him with an equal vigor. When he pulled his head back, their gazes met once again. Both breathless, it took her a few seconds to realize he'd asked a question.
"That....was exactly....the reaction....I was wanting...." She whispered taking in a ragged breath. Anything else she was going to say in that moment was cut off as he lowered his head, his lips on her neck causing another distraction and wreaking havoc on her senses. She closed her eyes, head resting against the wall while the sensations spread through her body.
Once again he pulled back, their eyes locking while she fought for breath. Keeping in mind where they were, but not much caring at the moment, she saw the questioning look in his eyes as if asking how far she wanted to go. She caught her lower lip between her teeth for a second, or two, and with her eyes never leaving his, she placed her hands on either side of his face, their lips mere millimeters apart. "Is this a good enough answer for you, Andros?" She asked softly, answering his unspoken question with one of her own before settling her lips on his once more in a sensuous kiss.

Andros knew that everything about him earlier was contradictory, that he was purposely glaring to keep people away from him but, if really probed and asked seriously, what he thought when he first saw Ice, he would have said that she was easy on the eyes and more. But that is a story for another time and clearly, what he wanted right now was the same thing she wanted, and they could perhaps talk more about that clear sexual attraction later, but whatever right now. He just wanted to have her...
"Hmmm..." Knowingly exactly what he was getting into and the current location they were at, perhaps it would have been better if this was aborted, but what the heck, Andros' hands moved down to her thighs to secure her around his waist just that he could carry her to a much more private place. The room, which was nearby and that of course had already been used, but whatever.
And with that, Andros closed and locked the door behind him and laid her down on the bed...
Later, Andros was laying on his back, though resting against the headboard with a blanket on top of him and her, he turned his head to look at her with his usual stare, but there was also that faint mischievous smirk on the corner of his lips. He was to say the least completely satisfied, and he really didn't know what to say right now, he really wasn't good with words, and even so, he preferred his actions speaking on his behalf. "We have been gone for a while..." Andros said softly before turning his body to face her entirely. "I should have probably come and seen you tonight..." Andros smirked at the thought again and placed his hands on her waist before kissing her lips once more and tugging her lower lip teasingly.

Interesting movie, Ali had said, and quite honestly, Ryan wasn't fooled at all, which was why he kept looking at Alisha with an unconvinced expression and even turned his attention to his very own brother who was insofar very silent. Then again Ares usually did not express much anyways, so that was expected. "Sure, and stuff, huh? Give me the title Alicat so I can be enlightened as you and Ares are..." Chuckling at the thought and drinking his beer right now, that was empty after his last sip, Ryan looked from his emptied bottle of beer to the shots that were being poured right there on the table.
Looking behind him just to see that Andros had joined them and actually drank some namana, and a second, there was definitely something going on with the younger Vyridian from the looks of it, but then Ryan just knew that Andros just did everything in his own very way, and he even started to hum while Atlantis was singing... Okay, then... Thought Ryan as he noticed that Icicle seemed to be leaving and soon followed by Andros. Ryan blinked a few times and looked at his girlfriend dubiously. "Mind filling the blanks on what did actually just happen?" Ryan asked genuinely, although he knew that perhaps he might regret even asking that question.
Either way he didn't want to know and he certainly didn't need to know. Taking a shot glass, Ryan downed his first glass and shuddered at the taste but also the feeling that namana gave him, and clearly it reminded him why he didn't drink this kind of alcohol. He should just probably go take a beer. "Gimme a moment," Ryan told his girlfriend before standing up from the seat and jogging towards the lakehouse but upon entering, what he just saw, definitely something he couldn't unseen, and he just quickly did a one eighty without taking his beer at all and headed back to the recess area with a shocked expression.
Sitting down next to Lily, Ryan started to laugh softly and even covered his mouth to really stop himself from laughing out loud. He only snapped out of it when he realized that his sister had just mentioned him, and he cleared his throat nodding, even though he didn't know what he was nodding for. "I am not even mad if you do choose him." Why would Ryan be? Atlantis was her boyfriend and it could be sweet anyways, plus she really seemed to be happy right then and there, she always was whenever Atlantis was around. That aside though, considering that he had just downed a namana not so long ago, Ryan could still feel that ephemeral euphoria, it got him to look at Ali with a knowing expression but said nothing right now, Ryan just didn't say a thing about what he just saw, clearly that was Ice pinned against the wall by Andros. Instead he cleared his throat again and took a deep breath but failed and ended up stifling a laughter, or several. Lifting his hand before Lily asked him anything, Ryan shook his head and took a deep breath. "Don't expect them to come back anytime soon..."

Preferring not to take part in that conversation about a particular movie that was watched, Ares remained mute the entire exchange, for he knew that if he even dared say anything, Ryan would pick up on that and spin it in whatever way, and it appeared to him that Lily did that also. Well, they did find one another perfectly then. There was that, and also the fact that they both seemed happy just like his sister seemed happy with Atlantis. There was also the matter of Elikapeka being happy there with Delaana, that was just downright depressing to Ares someway, somehow. Everything he knew, everything he had found out, it would obviously affect most, if not everyone here, and that was straight up frightening in a way. Trying to forget about that matter right now, which was really difficult to do since it was his reality, just like it was going to be a lot of people herewith present reality, Ares just kept a composed expression and buried his musing behind his glass, which was empty. Putting that down on the table, he looked over his shoulder upon noticing that Ali went to see Ice and speak with her, and there was that furtive glance in Andros' direction who was humming while his brother was singing.
Not even wanting to get into that matter, Ares just resorted to drink some water this time while the others seemed to be having a go at namana. Deciding on the spot to stand up and at least stretch his legs, Ares stepped out of the recess area and looked at the kids playing in the pool with a warm smile. Not to mention that Ali seemed to be watching over them also. Approaching his fiancée, he sat down next to her and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind her and placed his chin on her shoulder. "I don't supposed you had anything to do with Isis leaving to begin with, huh?" Ares murmured in a playful tone before chuckling, noticing from the corner of his eyes that Andros seemed to have gone inside and was shortly followed by Ryan, Ares arched his eyebrow and noticed that Ryan came back quickly without even taking anything from within much like he wouldn't have time to do anything at how quickly he had come back outside.
"Well..." Not really the kind of guy to comment anything that much let alone comment on things that weren't his business, Ares unwrapped his arms from Ali and leaned back against the lounge seat with a knowing expression. "Quelque chose me dit que ta cousine sera moins frustrée bientôt..." (Something tells me that your cousin will be less frustrated soon) Ares told Ali in her family's dialect this time. He wasn't the type to comment usually but he would comment in ways that at least not a lot of people would understand. Grinning at his statement and looking at Ali knowingly, Ares shrugged nonchalantly before adding on. "Good for them, right?" The way Ares saw it, they were consenting adults and who were they to pass judgment anyways...

Lakehouse - Gardens - Pool (Lukas & Morgan)*Morgan had expected more adorable playful pleading, but not like that; that was even more adorable! How could she refuse that?! She'd become so enamored by him that she'd almost lost focus on keeping the water ball together, a small amount sloshing free before she regained control. Beaming and giggling, she replied,* "Aww, well you want it, you got it!" *And then she, gently, forced the water ball forward, releasing control just as it made contact with the boy's chest, the water exploding all over him. Still grinning, Morgan asked,* "You liked that?!"
Ares had pulled his arms away from her waist and leaned back on the lounge chair, speaking to her in her language. Smiling, Ali hid her own knowing laugh by taking a sip of her drink. She had felt Ice's contentment through the bond they shared, which was temporarily shut down, and Ali had a good idea why. Leaning back against Ares, her watchful eyes traveling back to Lukas and Morgan, she chuckled. "Oui. This will perhaps be good for both of them....at least for a little while." She mused, pursing her lips as she continued to watch the children play in the pool.

Andros was the epitome of the stereotypical tall, dark, handsome and brooding male, and right now he was doing things to her senses that contradicted his stern broodiness. When he slid his hands down to her thighs to secure her legs round his waist, she willingly allowed him to do so while running her fingers through his dark hair while returning his murmured "Hmmm..." with one of her own. Soon he was moving as he carried her through the hallway to another, more private room, closing the door and locking it behind them before laying her down on the bed..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A little while later, Ice wasn't sure how much time had passed exactly, both were resting against the pillows propped up against the headboard relishing the shenanigans that had just taken place minutes before. Eyes closed, she was just enjoying the moment when she felt him shift his body beside her. Opening her eyes, she turned her own body to face him. Leaning up on an elbow, she smiled when he spoke. She was silent for a few moments, casting a glance around the room before once again meeting his gaze with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes....we should probably go back. They'll be wondering...." She let the sentence trail off with a soft laugh as she sat up in the bed and looked back at him with a teasing half smirk. "Who said you couldn't come and see me tonight? That's if you want to continue this."
She grinned before leaning over to kiss him again, then moved away to get out of the bed to find her bathing suit where it had been discarded somewhere on the floor. After getting dressed once more and pulling on the white button up shirt she'd been wearing over the bikini, she turned to look at him. Chewing on her bottom lip, she arched an amused eyebrow as she spoke. "We should probably change the bed. I wouldn't want to be rude and just leave it for someone else to do...."

Lakehouse - Gardens
Nodding her agreement when Delaana suggests that Atlantis' apparent love of being in trouble with the women in his life is fascinating even though the reasons for that love are not clearly understood, Elikapeka laughs as she points out, "My Ceesi, I am not sure that even Atlantis himself actually understands the reasons," and then sits up to set her wine glass down on the table in front of her. Curling her legs up beneath her, Elika settles back beside Delaana comfortably, content for the moment to simply quietly enjoy being in the company of friends new and old, and falling unconsciously into her habit of observing rather than actively participating.
Pleased that the day seems to have, by and large, achieved what it had evolved to become intent on achieving, namely enabling everyone present to forget for at least a few hours about the recent troubles plaguing some of them, Elika smiles as she listens to the amusing banterings between those around her, and then returns her attention to Delaana when asked not to let the Hapan have more than two namana shots. Laughing with a nod of her head, Elika says, "Ok, my Ceesi. I will do my very best not to let you have more than two so long as you promise not to let me have any more than that either." While she doesn't plan on having any shots, Elika also knows that if she does relent and have one, history indicates that she will almost certainly have trouble keeping herself to any self-imposed limits afterwards.

Lakehouse — Gardens
Atlantis was feeling a little euphoric, and he seemed to be constantly smiling like a fool, after all he had just downed two shots of namana one after the other. Nonetheless, he was glad to hear that Crystal would at least try and relax and he kept looking at her with a warm smile. "I am sure you will, with enough push and incentives." Atlantis rested his forehead against her temple briefly and then pulled his head back upon feeling something peculiar. He furrowed his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the lakehouse, not really wanting to know what was going down there, he just cut himself entirely from the Force and that close affinity he had with his brother.
"If that is one way for you to relax for the day, then yes I will do it." Atlantis said to Crystal agreeing to at least sing with her whenever she was ready. And with that said and everything going on, with not only at the pool but also here at the recess area and inside of the lakehouse, Atlantis just chatted the afternoon away with most if not with everyone present here...
And soon it was the end of the afternoon, Atlantis was sitting right there and taking a deep comfortable breath, he had drunk a few more namanas but he spaced them and did not go over five so he could at least be alert to the happenings around this place. Standing up from his seat, he stretched a little and was actually glad to have this time to just relax for he knew that tomorrow would be another day, a much difficult day, that he was certain of. Glancing at the sky and seeing that the sun had moved, it really was a nice treat to have had the sun shining throughout the day without him influencing the mists whatsoever. "Do any of you need to be dropped off wherever?" Atlantis asked dubiously to the guests here, although he knew that all of them had come with their means of transportation, he could still pilot them wherever, also considering that perhaps Franz was going to take Ayodele to her place, Atlantis could certainly drop Delaana off to hers with Elika.

Though I wind up staying for longer than originally intended, I enjoy the remainder of the evening well enough; content to simply relax and indulge in the rare opportunity to be among friends with - at least for a short time - no other demands upon my time or thoughts given that I had embraced the no drama rule and used it as a welcome excuse to free my mind of all the concerns and other mental clutter typically bouncing around within it relating to my duties.
Shaking my head when Atlantis asks if any one needs to be dropped off anywhere, I smile and remind him, "I would actually prefer to walk, though I do thank you for your kind offer all the same," as I intend to return to the Mist Order's academy on foot as planned so that I might use the walk to order all the thoughts I have set aside for the duration of the gathering.
After exchanging my farewells with everyone, and assuring and reassuring Atlantis that he has no need to accompany me as he must assure he is available to see that those needing transportation have him to rely upon to provide it, I begin my trek to the academy. Though my doppleganger, predictably, materializes to taunt me by voicing thoughts or fears or random flotsam I have come to suspect rise from my subconscious, I am able to ignore her enough that, eventually, she fades into the background and is unable to prevent me from organizing my thoughts.

Andros laid back down on the bed and kept looking at Ice for the longest time in silence before smirking briefly when she pretty much told him that tonight was open also. Chuckling briefly, not in amusement about her but because he really had no apprehension in coming to find her tonight, Andros just kept looking at her even after the kiss. He even arched his eyebrow when she started to get dressed once more and just stood up right then and there and walked in her direction still naked, and placed his hands on her waist. "You make it hard to leave this room..." Andros muttered before moving his hands down and tugging her against him, "I hope you know." Closing his eyes briefly and trying to reign in that emotion that was running through him and those thoughts that were on his mind, he finally released her and retrieved his shorts too put that back on.
Looking towards the bed, he knew that she was right, and that they should probably do something about that, or maybe, he should. "You go ahead, I will take care of this." Andros said curtly, as he actually took care of the bed, changed the sheets and remade the bed perfectly as if it was untouched. Grabbing the sheets, Andros finally exited that said room and brought everything to the washer before stretching a little and knowing perfectly and exactly that he and Ice were gone for a long time, and that it was nearing the end of the afternoon.

Stepping outside with his usual expression on his features, there was one thing he was glad about, Horsea never put back on the electrical surges on his wrists and another thing he had noticed, Serrin seemed to have gone, which is why he turned to look at his brother a moment later, lifting his hand and briefly blinking, Andros tilted his head slightly on the side. "The party is over, I don't suppose a few here needs to be driven wherever?" Andros asked for he also had in mind to head to his office due to the messages he had received earlier and he perhaps wanted to address those issues, or maybe not, but he also knew that his office was his area where he was safe in a way and that people were safe from him.
