Cipriani Arms Apartments
Lucine, groaning and rolling her eyes playfully as Forcias says he'll never stop trying to find new ways to please her, asks rhetorically, "Were you always this cheesy, dope? Or is that something you picked up over the last three years I missed? Bobbing her eyebrows, aware that it might be a bit too early to start cracking wise about the whole time travel deal but not really inclined to let it become some ultra serious thing constantly hovering over them, Lucine asks, Too soon?"
Finishing her toast and starting to clean up the dishes, as much to show she was joking about him handling all the chores as to try and control her tendency towards being a slob where housecleaning is concerned since she can tell Forcias is a bit more of a neat freak by the way he has kept her apartment in her absence, Lucine listens as he says that he has some exercise crap he might want at some point, then says, "Sure, whatever, then, as she is drying her hands once the dishes are dealt with, says, You can make that second bedroom your man cave, grinning as she adds, I can banish you there when you get on my nerves," knowing that it will also give him a place to retreat to when she inevitably gets on his.
Folding the dishtowel neatly as she considers what she wants or needs to do with the day, Lucine shrugs her shoulders after determining that making plans goes against the grain of her preference to just take things easy when she has time off from work, saying, "Well, I want and probably need a shower, with a grin as she lifts the tshirt she borrowed from Forcias over her head and tosses it to him as she starts heading to the refresher, trusting he'll follow as she adds, but other than that I think we'll just see where the day takes us, sound good to you?"
It is early evening before she and Forcias finally get dressed and leave the apartment, Lucine holding onto Forcias' tightly as he pilots his speeder bike towards the bar and grill they have decided to get dinner and drinks at. As the city hurtles past as Forcias weaves quickly and expertly between, under, over or around traffic, Lucine absently notes a few new buildings among the familiar mist shrouded sights, but doesn't detect any huge shifts in the architecture that make the city seem foreign to her.

No apprehension at all. That trait of Forcias’ actually had not changed at all. He was still the kind of guy that just always played it all by ear, and do unplanned things originally. If he wanted to stay in, he’d say it, if not he would also say something. Nothing was meticulously planned when it came to his own self, and thus he was just fine with what Lucine had suggested.
The early evening, upon arriving at the place they had decided to eat and have a few drinks, Forcias set down his speeder bike before letting Lucy get off first, following suite, he tilted his head from side to side and looked at the joint they had picked.
“Will you mind if I invite Aestrea, or even Vos?” Asked Forcias dubiously before adding on with a chuckle. “No, not Mace, but Ayla, the former doesn’t really do crowded space.” Which was true, Mace avoided those, and even if it was just a simple get together, or whatever, Forcias never really knew Mace to be one to just relax, and let her hair down so to speak. Ayla could be on the fence too most of the time, and even so, she was far more outgoing than her cousin. Horsea, her, was often if not always down for anything quite honestly . . .
Wrapping his arm around Lucine’s shoulder and making their way towards the bar and grill, Forcias sighed softly and nudged her gently. “I know you have never asked, but no one knows where Raan, Lyra and Jesse along with Bliss have gone off to.” Forcias informed her with a faint frown, and he also knew that everyone had tried to find some answers, but of course he had to let her know since after all Lucine was close to the Sunsoars.
“A few are still unaccounted for, just like the Drakes . . .” Said Forcias with a frown, after all, the last time he had ever heard from the Drakes, it wasn’t even Lara or Keith, it was the parents back on Naboo. But that aside, and truly not just wanting to hopefully spoil the evening, even if deep down he knew, Forcias figured that he would already tell her about Jesse in lieu of telling her to invite whomever she wanted to begin with here.
Misty’s Bar and Grill
Walking right after Lucine, Forcias just put scanned the place for a bit, which was still relatively empty being early and all, he gestured for her to pick a table whichever she wanted. Sitting down and grabbing the menu, he slid that in her direction and grinned. “On me, take whatever you want and drink whatever you want.” Winking playfully since after all, he was still the one driving tonight, he would have to just be mindful on how much he drank.

Misty's Bar and Grill
Lucine, tilting her head to the side at an inquisitive angle while looking at Forcias as though he has forgotten something, asks, "Shouldn't we wait until your pals show up, dope? Shaking her head playfully as though she is worried about his social skills, Lucine says, I don't see any harm in ordering drinks while we wait though," waving a server down and ordering a Corellian ale for herself.
Leaning back in the booth after taking a look around to see if Aestrea or Ayla had arrived before them, Lucine tries to shake off the effect of learning from Forcias that Raan and his entourage, along with the Drakes, are still missing in action has had on her mood; Lucine suspects that the news, which wasn't entirely surprising since she is fairly certain that had Raan and his closest associates returned while she had been missing one or more of them would have been there last night, would not have hit her so hard had it not made her more acutely aware of what Forcias must have been going through during the last three years, and making her hope that he had found some way to make some kind of peace with the constant worry and uncertainty.
Not one to willing get lost in her own thoughts given her tendency to avoid introspection and navel gazing as a general rule, Lucine is back to feeling chipper by the time their drinks arrive, and she moves closer to Forcias, putting one of his arms around her shoulders as she offers, "Hey, why don't you celebrate with your pals, I'll handle the driving tonight," figuring that it is only fair that she offers him the chance to cut loose given how often he plays designated driver, and more than happy to get the opportunity to try out his speeder bike after being a passenger on it so often.

Misty’s Bar and Grill
“No harm in ordering a drink to begin with.” Concurred Forcias with an amused expression, after all knowing his pals as Lucine put it, they would be the first ones to say to not even wait for them to begin with. Requesting an ice blaster as a beverage, Forcias just sent out the location of the bar and grill they were in to both Horsea and Ayla before putting his datapad away.
Knowing that Lucine wasn’t one to actually dwell for too long on some issues, Forcias just figured he’d let her know that Jesse and Bliss weren’t around as he distinctively remembered that she was actually close to the Sunsoars but since she wasn’t one to actually do SERIOUS CONVERSATIONS as a general rule, Forcias let that go until she was ready to actually talk about it.
Wrapping his arm around her when she lifted his arm, Forcias looked at her dubiously and tilted his head on the side with an amused expression. “I do hope that one of these days, you’ll consider them also your pals.” Smiling and pecking her lips tenderly before adding on in a low tone, “They have always been rooting for us.” Pulling his head back and frowning slightly with arched eyebrow. “Unless that is you telling me that you actually want to take the speeder bike for a spin this time around because you and I did a hovercar?” Laughing genuinely for in his mind this was all about that, Forcias’ laughter died down as Horsea had been the first one to approach their boot with a pleasant and happy smile.
“Now that is a laughter that I haven’t heard in a while.” Commented Horsea who was just casually dressed in jeans and just a simple tee and jacket. “Forcias.” Began to say Horsea before looking at the lieutenant with a relieved, peaceful, and even genuine happy expression. “Lucine. Ayla should come along in a little bit, she said she was wrapping up a few things back at the Academy.”
Taking a seat after placing her glass of Coruscant cooler, Horsea smiled knowingly looking at Lucy with an amused grin. “He totally smothered you last night, hasn’t he?” Teasingly looking at Forcias, truly glad and happy for him, for them both, Horsea was just glad that the one she still considered like her brother was once again happy.
“I did no such thing . . .” Quipped Forcias as he took a sip of his drink with a faint smirk on the corner of his lips.

Enroute to TaSpa!
Taking the front passenger seat in deference to Lily's wish that she do so in order, Elikapeka guesses, to allow Lily to sneak a bit more sleep in during the trip into the city, Elika smiles and asks in an amused tone, "Are there any unattractive Hapans, Beautiful? rhetorically after Lily points out that Delaana's brother, a Hapan just like his sister, is a "hottie", adding with an arched eyebrow and a surprised tone, He's with Lindsay's firm, really? Small universe, isn't it? Smiling in a way that reveals that she is more than a little nervous about the prospect of meeting Delaana's brother after Crystal chimes in to say that she feels Elika and he will get along, Elika says, I hope you're right, hon'. Revealing the source of her anxiety, which is not likely to come as any surprise to Crystal, Elika explains, Hopefully I won't do that thing where I talk too much when I'm nervous, or do that thing where I don't talk at all because I'm too nervous. Crinkling her nose, Elika adds while unconsciously fidgeting with the sleeves of her jacket, I just want to make a good impression, you know? Not leave her brother wondering if I belong in a mental ward or something."
Grateful for the change of subject when Lily brings up the subject of the sparring match that had been mentioned earlier, Elika laughs after Crystal explains how it is that Atlantis has been volunteered to spar shirtless with Valaras, joking, "That sounds like something Lily would come up with, hon', and then looks over her shoulder to see that Lily has apparently dozed off, scrunching her shoulders as she whispers to Crystal in an amused tone, No sneeze, she must really be tired." Not wanting to disturb Lily too much, feeling a bit guilty since she is the reason that her friend is so exhausted, Elika settles into her seat more comfortably and, taking Lily's pre-slumber advice, silently pays attention to Crystal as she operates the speeder to see what she can learn by doing so even though she is not sure that she will ever feel comfortable attempting to pilot on her own.
TaSpa!
Appearing as though materializing out of thin air somewhere near the reception desk as Crystal, Elika and Lily enter TaSpa!, Cosimo Sapora, the owner and often the host of TaSpa!, opens his arms wide while smiling exuberantly as he cries out, "Well, well, well, look who it is! Cosimo thought you had forgotten all about him, but I see it is not so! Now then, he says striding towards them while resting his chin atop the hairy knuckles of his fist, you have the packages, of course? Of course you do, I joke with you, I saw your reservation. Where is your fourth? Ah! Cosimo declares, waving like a showman towards the entrance as Delaana walks in, There she is! And such a lovely fourth she is too! Now that you are all here, let us see what we can do for you all, We start, he stops in front of Crystal, head tilting this way and that as he appraises her demeanor and comportment to gauge what kind of massage she needs, as always, with the massages! For you, he launches an index finger into the air, Echani postural massage! A snap of Cosimo's fingers causes a young, pale skinned woman with white hair to come and lead Crystal away to where she can change into loose-fitting clothes for her massage session, in which the Echani woman will use pulling, stretching, compression and rocking to relax Crystal's muscles as she leads her through a series of yoga-like postures and movements. As Crystal is led away, and before anyone has a chance to interrupt him, Cosimo walks in front of Lily, studies her for a moment, clucks his tongue in sympathy or despair, then lifts his arms into the air while announcing, Lorrdian deep tissue massage! Stomping a foot, Cosimo summons forth a tall, lightly muscled Lorrdian male with long, dark hair who leads Lily away to where she can undress and lay down so that he can knead, rub, and soothe her muscles by using his palms, knuckles, forearms, fingers, elbows, knees and feet to restore her body and spirit. Cosimo, having moved to appraise Delaana's posture while Lily was being led away, smiles as, after he has arrived at his conclusion about her needs, he holds his arms out at his sides as though what she needs is obvious to all as he shouts gleefully, Hot stone massage, of course! A snap of Cosimo's fingers causes a purple skinned female Twi'lek dressed in white to appear and lead Delaana away to where she will be treated to the hot stone massage in which heated stones are placed along her spine, chest, stomach, hands and feet while the Twi'lek uses kneading, long strokes, circular movements, vibrations and tapping to stimulate Delaana's muscles and release tension from them. Cosimo, already moving to study Elika's posture as Delaana is led away, taps his chin with a finger pensively for a moment before lifting the finger into the air and announcing, Kallidahin aromatherapy massage! Clapping his hands, Cosmio summons a four foot five inch, grey skinned female Kallidahin that leads Elika away to where she will receive a soothing massage that incorporates the use of essential oils to improve her mental and physical wellbeing. After the massages, Cosimo shouts out loudly and gleefully, Steam!"
After the massages, all of Cosimo's guests are left alone to change into soft, comfortable robes after having been provided with a bottle of water, and offered the option to take a warm shower before they are led to the steam room where all can enjoy the benefits of the steam room for a time before moving on to their next treatments.
Misty's Bar and Grill
Lucine, giving Forcias a playfully skeptical look when he suggests that his friends could also be hers, is a bit surprised to learn that Horsea and Ayla had been rooting for their relationship; knowing how close-knit the Kiffars are, or were before she and Forcias started seeing one another and created more than a little friction among them from what she understands, Lucine had always assumed that even those among the Kiffars Forcias had been tight with before they became a thing would have not held her in the highest regard simply because of the friction and the fact that were it not for her Forcias might not have felt the need to break from them. "Well, I guess anything's possible," Lucine jokes, guessing that she should at least allow for the possibility that she and Forcias' friends might become friends themselves even though she herself has, at her age and in the career she is in, never been particularly good at making new friends.
Shrugging with a smirk when Forcias asks whether her decision to play designated driver might have been motivated by a desire to try out his speeder bike, Lucine jokes, "Don't ask why, dope, just enjoy yourself. Arching an eyebrow suggestively, she quips, I promise you'll like me being in the driver's seat," while thinking fondly back on the hovercar incident that has Forcias laughing so hard.
Waving a hello to Horsea when she joins them, Lucine, greets her with a friendly, "Hey, then adds a, Right, after Horsea explains that Ayla will be joining them later since she is finishing some things up at the academy. Nah, Lucine says aloud when asked if Forcias had smothered her upon learning she was back, smiling as she nods to silently confirm that Horsea was right despite what she says out loud for Forcias' benefit. Patting Foricas' chest with one hand, Lucine tells Horsea with a conspiratorial wink, No such thing, that's right, dope. Even though she is not, by nature, one to share her feelings or anything about her life with those she doesn't know well, and it might be argued even with those she does, Lucine tells Horsea, We're moving in together though, so I'll be sure to let you know if any smothering occurs as a result," thinking that sharing that kind of news is at least a step in the direction of becoming friends with Forcias' friend.
Asking about what is going on in other's lives also seems like the kind of thing friends do, so Lucine asks Horsea, "So, what's new with you? Holding her hands up before Horsea can start answering, Lucine jokes, I know I missed out on a few years of crap, so feel free to stick to just the headlines if you want."

TaSpa!
It's those familiar voices in the airspeeder that actually got me to fall asleep, or catch a power nap. It was just comforting just hearing the familiar voices in the background, especially Elika's as I had no idea when I'd be hearing it again. I am sure that I had a smirk on the corner of my lips as I just fell asleep there, only to be awaken when we actually arrived at destination ... Okay that should be good enough for me to just walk and not look like a total zombie, hopefully whomever I get today for my massage does me right, and also won't mind if I fall asleep on the table. Smiling and actually quite content as we enter TaSpa! and lo' and behold, the owner is the one who greets us, I end up looking at him with a dubious expression as he clucks his tongue "Da, da, I am jetlagged, honey, I need your magic, Winking at him and blowing him a kiss after he declares what I need, I follow my masseur after telling Cosimo Definitely haven't lost your touch, amore, grazie mille!"
Changing and laying on the massage table letting the Lorrdian masseur who is definite cute, but my thoughts do not really go beyond that, I just end up telling him that there might be a chance that I end up falling asleep while he is doing his thing and that he shouldn't worry whatsoever but to just nudge me gently to wake me up. His first few kneading does it for me and actually do fall asleep face down and completely relaxed. While I am not one to just actually fall asleep in the presence of a complete stranger, this is one of those exceptions, especially that now my mind is at ease. Everything is just perfect, Gorgeous is back, alive and unharmed, it was just a freak accident, and nothing more. I don't actually know how long the session has gone for, but what I do know is that when I am finally gently nudged awake, I just feel so relaxed, and thanked the man with a grateful smile. Definitely feel lighter now and fully rested ...
Opting to shower leisurely, I put on that comfortable robe before walking towards the steam room with the bottle of water in hand. Hair up in a bun, I settle into the steam room with the ones I am with and smile contently. "Perfect massage as usual for you all I am guessing? It isn't a surprise quite honestly, Cosimo seems to always know what we need no matter the circumstances. Although what he might have said earlier probably or potentially made Gorgeous think about it. Hopefully she did not linger too long on that and she forgot all about it due to her massage ... Perhaps sooner or later it'll come up but for now, I look at Gorgeous and Baby Girl with an amused expression. "Ah Gorgeous, by the way the sneezing part thing, I don't usually sneeze when I am right there, I do when I am not at all, Winking at her playfully and chuckling before taking a sip of my water, I lean lay down on the marbled bench like and breathe softly. That's apparently my superpower according to Baby Girl, which is nothing compared to what she can do now. It is true, Crystal's knowledge in the Force, while it's still not widely known that she is in fact attuned to the Force, has apparently expanded. But what do I know, I am not a forceling. I just got some tidbits from her brother and Lover Boy, also from her, but that's about it. Anyways. Say, knowing Boss Man, he was there at the spaceport last night, right? Rhetorical statement, Andros would be there I am very sure because that would not surprise me at all as he cares a lot about Elika too. Looking at Gorgeous with a knowing smile. Recognized him as Andros immediately or not at all?"

After being dropped off by the aircab to her apartment complex, Lana immediately had rushed to her place to grab a quick shower and just freshen up overall, she had a few moment as she was getting dressed did she contact Nash first via holocomm whom she found already in his office at the lawfirm. They talked and just exchanged for a long time, telling him also that if he was busy, they could always touch base later on, but apparently he wasn't busy at all. To which Lana often told him that he was just being nice, but Nash being Nash, and of course she intimately knew him as they were siblings, never ever turned her down so to speak whenever she'd comm him, whenever she needed him. The same could be said about her when it came to him and they always ended up talking about everything and anything constantly.
Noticing the time and laughing at she cut the vid feed and just moved to voice, Lana told her brother that she was late, and she was actually heading to the spa with he knew who plus also his Childao's friends. At some point even Lindsay's voice could be heard in the background talking to her brother too. L isro, Nash. Te'ta'xida. Laughing and cutting the comm convo to her brother as she walked into TaSpa! Delaanna mouthed a sorry for being a little late, but was thankful also that it seemed that the trio she had the spa date with seemed to have just arrived too.
TaSpa!
Walking close to Elika, Lana placed her hand around her waist and pecked her cheek before murmuring to her "Nash says hi, my Shakal." Of course her brother said a few more things but it looked like she wouldn't be able to squeeze anything in for Cosimo seems to already been studying each and everyone of them to decide the best treatment for them all. Nevertheless she did smile at him when he complimented her and even winked before just standing there and curiously waiting for the massage she'd have today. That would certainly do the trick indeed, which was the reason why she smiled gratefully before following the Twi'lek. But before even doing that, Lana sneaked in a quick kiss to Elika, pecking her lips softly before walking over to get changed and receive her massage. Everything about her massage just relaxed her, and the hot stones definitely eased the tension away along with the expert movements from her masseuse. Considering that Lana had not treated herself to a massage for a while now, and in lieu of having a relaxing time, she had often been combat training or working out either here in Umgul or even in Honoghr when she'd visit her brother, this was just the perfect way to put her body and mind at ease.
Content at the end of her massage, Lana felt lighter and just less stiff than she had been. Taking a shower to wash off, Lana put on her robe, and made her way towards the steam room with all of them sitting down comfortably. Putting a thumbs up to answer Lily about her massage, Lana nodded and just eased in lazily in the steam just enjoying that relaxing moment. "Before I forget, my brother says hi, Lindsay as well." Lana informed them with a genuine happy smile.

TaSpa!
When they were still up in the air making their way to TaSpa! Crystal had laughed at Elika's comment about the sparring sitch that Atlantis was volunteered for, but Crystal had said that she was just emulating Lily at that time since after all her childhood friend had been away on business around the planet due to harmonizing the legislation. Further than that though, Crystal also pointed out to Elika some of the basics of piloting an airspeeder, but other than that, Crystal wasn't talking too loudly as it did appear that Lily at the back was catching some zzz until she had to wake her childhood friend up to let her know that they had arrived.
It seemed like a while indeed since she had last seen Cosimo, and she was grateful to see that he had not changed at all, he was still exuberant as ever. The massage he had chosen for her was new, she never had that one, but she figured that it would be good for her, and so with no apprehension at all, she changed into lose fitting clothes before following the indication of her masseuse but also letting her do her job. Crystal was just pleasantly surprised at how she felt when all of it was over. This definitely worked better than a chiropractor as even her tight spots had loosen up, and perhaps some of her bones had cracked, but it was the good kind. She just felt limber all over again, not that she wasn't before, but it was more obvious to her now.
Showering after putting her hair up in a ponytail, Crystal got into the robe and just felt so much more relaxed, and too think that this was just the first part of their pampering. She definitely missed this, and she was thankful that they would be able to do this again now that Elika had come back. It felt wrong to do it a while ago, and so she and Lily pretty much stopped doing it and just went on with their lives so to speak.
Tightening the knot around her waist, Crystal laid down in the steam room and just took a content breath as she listened to the talks currently. "More than perfect, I'd say the word after that." Crystal mumbled softly as she put a cloth over her face and just rested there peacefully and comfortably although she could not help but to laugh about the sneezing situation. "Oh please each time you sneezes, you have to message all of your friends to tell them to stop talking smack about you." Removing the cloth from her face and smiling, Crystal nodded when Andros was brought up. "He was there indeed, he actually arrived with Lana." Crystal figured that Andros must have picked her up before heading to the spaceport which was a very nice gesture from him but concerning Andros, actually. "Actually, baby girl, I told her that it was Andros." Winking at Elika, who had said that he did look different, unfortunately both Elika and Andros did not get a chance to interact at all.
"Awww, now you are definitely making me feel guilty, I definitely need to give Lindsay a comm soon." Resting her head, and just enjoying the steam, Crystal just relaxed but was still aware of their surroundings which was the reason why she still kept diminishing her presence in the Force since they were in a public place, not that the paparazzi kept hunting them or even the press. But still...

Forcias had not made any comments to Lucy being in the driver’s seat of the speeder bike, instead he just kept his statement to himself, and even just looked at her slyly while keeping his mouth shut and just keeping his own thoughts for himself in case one of his former CO was making her way here already . . .
Horsea was biting her lower lip and nodded understanding exactly what Lucy told her despite Forcias’ negation, she figured, she’d just purse her lips slightly before going “Ahuh . . .” which said it all, that she actually did not believe Forcias at all. From where she had been standing, totally was the case, and she was pretty sure that everyone else present saw it, although she said nothing about it, and did not want to embarrass him at all, or maybe she would, who knew?
The news of both Lucine and Forcias moving in together got her to look at the lieutenant with a smile, just that simple smile that said she was happy for them definitely. “To think that it all started with that infamous word of yours, you just said a few ago, when he handled your clearance, I remember thinking that he was obtuse, and just flat out told him that.” Revealed Horsea with a faint laughter and shaking her head which got Forcias to look at her with a faint glare.
“How was I supposed to know that exactly?” Muttered Forcias under his breath and shaking his head before actually just glancing at Lucine with a knowing smile, just glad that she was just interacting with Horsea with what seemed no apprehension at all. She was making the effort, which was touching for him, and actually, he just leaned over and pecked her temple before taking her hand and giving it a grateful squeeze.
“From salty goodness to dope, that is more fitting indeed.” Horsea winked playfully to Lucine before taking a sip of her drink and putting her glass down, of course she knew the ongoing rumors and retention was a strong suit for her, no matter what, but currently, it was about her which got Horsea to drum her fingertips on the table faintly. “Girl, the crap that you have missed, those were just crap so good for missing them because just quite uneventful.” Though since that wasn’t the important part truly, Horsea just shrugged lightly. “Single, still mingling, but just really annoyed at how so little the pool of decent male there is. Or maybe I am apparently being too demanding. But nope, other than that, my life is boring, and apparently I shouldn’t even say what I do because I intimidate the opposite gender.”
“Or keep fishing? Or sign up to some apps?”
“Ha ha.” Rolling her eyes and shaking her head, Horsea just shrugged, actually not caring whatsoever to begin with quite frankly. “In any case, nothing new at all but just same ol’ same ol’. How about you, settling in just fine, or . . .?”
Forcias knew that had some heavy double entendre there coming from Horsea, which was the reason why he looked at her with narrowed eyes but his expression relaxed soon enough before he noticed that Ayla had just walked into the bar and was immediately stopped by one of the guys standing there. “Oh boy.”
Looking behind her, Horsea had already an amused grin on the corner of her lips before noticing that actually that man bought Ayla a drink before her CO actually just took her drink and walked over to their table sitting down next to Horsea. “Freebie?”
“If only . . .” Said Ayla before shaking her head as unfortunately for that man, she read his thoughts clear as day, the man was already inebriated, but that was beside the point. That aside, Ayla smiled looking at Lucy and inclined her head. “Hey, Lucine, it’s good to have you back.” Ayla did not need to speak of that freak accident to her it was all in the past, and in any case, this was a small gathering and celebration, in any case.

TaSpa!
Elikapeka reaches up to pretend to scratch her nose to cover her amused smile as Lily, as playfully feisty as ever, tells Cosimo, as perceptive as ever, that she is jetlagged and in need of his uncanny ability to know just what kind of massage his clients need to address their particular aches and stressors. Forgetting about Cosimo and everything else when Delaana arrives and puts an arm around her waist as she pecks her cheek, Elika smiles kittenishly as she laces her fingers through Delaana's and whispers back, "Did you tell him that we might be visiting soon, my Ceesi?" Pouting theatrically when Cosimo, moving them along as efficiently and swiftly as ever, has Delaana whisked away by a rather attractive Twi'lek, Elika keeps a hold of her hand until it is no longer possible to do so, and is then herded away herself by her masseuse, a tiny Kallidahin.
The Kallidahin, unsurprisingly, is a talented masseuse, and by the end of their session Elika is feeling as relaxed and at ease mentally and physically as she can be given what she has been through and her personality; the massage, coupled with the millaflower and citrus scented oils and relaxing music that had been played throughout the session by her silent masseuse having all combined to push her worries, for the time being, away.
Entering the steam room after showering, in time to hear Lily asking how everyone's massages were, Elika sits down beside Delaana and, after Crystal has verbally confirmed that Lily's guess that the massages were perfect and Delaana has affirmed the sentiment with a thumbs up, lifts her arms out to her sides in an imitation of Cosimo as she does her best to approximate his enthusiastic delivery and declares, "But of course! Laughing when Lily corrects Elika's sneeze hypothesis, Elika tells her, I stand corrected, Beautiful, and then nods to agree with Crystal's answer about whether she had recognized Andros, who has made a few changes to his look since Elika last saw him that could potentially make it less easy than it had been to differentiate him from his twin brother. In my defense, Elika says while crinkling her nose, I had been given a strong sedative after being given a flask full of something alcoholic, adding, If I had been sober, I'm pretty sure I would have known it was Andros even with his new look, since she is, when not under the influence of one or more mood and mind altering substances, perceptive and observant enough that she trusts she'd know Atlantis from Andros based simply on their respective body language. Crinkling her nose again, worried that Andros might have taken offense to the fact that she had not spoken with him, Elika says to no one in particular, I should probably comm or text him and apologize for being so out of it that I never thanked him for being there, biting the corner of her lower lip as she adds, Hopefully he knows my lieutenant sedated me after getting me drunk, then laughs with a shake of her head, Who am I kidding? He had to know I was, right?" Sighing and deciding to let the subject go before she undoes all that the massage, steam, and time with Delaana and her friends have achieved, Elika leans her head back against the wall and relaxes, closing her eyes as she puts a hand over Delaana's and lacing their fingers together.

Lucine, smiling as she listens to Horsea describe Forcias as obtuse when talking about the first time he and Lucine met, nods as she agrees, "That sounds about right, and pats Forcias' chest comfortingly when he protests to let him know that she has no problem with him being obtuse, or a dope. Laughing when, after Horsea answers the question about what is new with her by saying that there is nothing truly new, Horsea goes on to bemoan the fact that she has found that there are not many decent men to choose from, Lucine jokingly suggests, Try lowering you standards, leaning her head on Forcias' shoulder as she adds teasingly, It's worked out pretty well for me so far."
Rolling her eyes along with Horsea when Forcias suggests resorting to apps and not giving up, Lucine, not knowing Horsea well enough to offer any advice of her own, shrugs when the topic is changed to how she is settling in, replying honestly, "Yeah, actually. I was worried it'd be some huge, steaming mess to deal with, but so far it seems like things are falling into place easily enough, smiling as she looks up at Forcias and admits sincerely despite her customarily teasing tone, Of course, the dope here has made things easier than they might have been, so I guess, she sighs with playful reluctance, I should be thankful he was crazy enough to wait around for so long."
Following the direction of Forcias' gaze when he says oh boy, Lucine smiles in amusement when she sees that Ayla has arrived and already has an admirer, then makes a whistling and crashing noise as, after Ayla successfully extracts herself from her admirer and joins them after the admirer has bought her a drink. Chuckling as Ayla's tone when replying to Horsea's assertion that the drink had been free reveals that said drink probably entailed enduring, at best, a cheesy come on, Lucine nods her chin and tells Ayla, "Thanks, it's good to be back, shrugging with a crooked smirk as she adds, Even if it doesn't feel like I was gone for as long as I was, to me anyway. How have you been?"

Comfortably settled, and just in a relaxed state of mind, I am also glad that all of them seem to be as well, especially Gorgeous, which gets me to look at her with an amused expression when she emulates our host. "Close, Gorgeous, very close. A louder voice would do also. Pausing right then and there and covering my mouth with my elbow I start sneezing before groaning. Oh for crying out loud ... Crap, no datapad! No general message this time. This is the part where I usually grab my datapad and send a group message to the people I have an affinity with, but nope, not happening right now although I look at Baby Girl with pursed lips. I blame the guys." Probably one of the guys, but whomever all in the same category. Da, that works, guys are to blame. Always.
I am just comfortably laying down, and just smile at the Boss Man part before raising my head to just look at Gorgeous lazily. "Alcoholic drink and strong sedative, and nothing embarrassing at all happened, good for me, I haven't missed a thing then. Chuckling and winking at her playfully as I finally just sit up and decide to just lean against the wall, I end up smiling knowingly because Gorgeous is right, I am pretty sure she would be able to tell that it was Andros. He might look more like Atlantis appearance wise, but personality wise, it was still the same so to speak, unless you were close to him. Andros is indeed still very much Andros, I suppose. Don't worry much about it, Gorgeous, I am very sure all he needs to know, he already does. Plus knowing him the bottom line will always be you are home. He was the one who commed me yesterday ordering me back home." That is enough said. Although even if he had not asked me yesterday, I would certainly be here already anyways, since my datapad and comlink went on a fritz ... But anyways, that is passé, we are here now and we are just having a relaxing spa day.
"Nashay are doing good, yes? Ship name, yes, everyone knows them as Nashay anyways. Smiling at Lana's transmitted greeting from the lawyers in Honoghr, I also actually wonder how my brother and Kassidy are doing, along with the rest. At least you and your brother are in constant contact, which is more than I can say about me and my brother. Muttering and rolling my eyes playfully, even if I look rightfully pissed, actually I am not at all as I end up smiling briefly. You two planning on making the trip to Honoghr soonish? Because if so I have a message for my brother if you see him, although it involves many explicit words, so I'll just write it down to give to him." Laughing and shaking my head I am actually curious when both Gorgeous and the Hapan Bombshell might make their way to Honoghr, it will certainly do them some good too, to spend time together.

Forcias had that amused expression, and even arched eyebrow when it definitely seemed that both Lucine and Horsea had decided to gang up on him. He just shook his head in fake disbelief as he placed one of his hands on Lucy’s thigh to give it a teasing squeeze as he narrowed his eyes looking at her. “At least please tell me that standard is a step higher than that surfer dude?” Muttered Forcias playfully and seemingly offended with a bruised ego. None of that honestly, he wasn’t offended, nor was he truly affected by it. Just truly he was glad that they were just talking and just exchanging and if he was the target, then he’d gladly be it.
After all, he just wanted them to get along, and with that he just actually smiled knowingly as he looked at one of his best friends who was just grinning while she listened to Lucy describing her impression since ‘coming back.’ “That he did, I suppose it’s true what they say, you can do a lot of crazy things for the ones you love . . .” Horsea was aware that Forcias was in love with Lucine, she knew that, heck even Mace knew it also Ayla, and she was pretty sure that Lucine felt the same way about Forcias, or at least started to as well.
Before Ayla even replied to Lucy’s question, she took out the flask that had been handed to her by Atlantis earlier and deposited it on the table in front of Lucy with a chuckle. “From Atlantis.” Explained Ayla, not really needing to go into details on the how and why she came into possession of Lucine’s flask, she knew that the lieutenant would understand right away the connection anyways. Drumming her gloved fingertips on the side of her glass, Ayla nodded knowing the circumstances of why Lucy had been MIA for a while. “Yes, I suppose that it wouldn’t be too different for you, with everyone that you know still being here.” It was truly difficult in a sense to wrap that around a person’s mind, but in the end all that mattered was that she was back. “Abridged version? I have been good, thanks, and I am still good, some elements that I wished were different, and some other elements I wished I had an answer to. But all in all, won’t complain at all.”
“Except for that cheesy pick up line you have just received?” Asked Horsea amusingly, before looking at Lucy and looking upwards. “How much did you lower your standards exactly, because it’s ridiculous.”
“I am not even going to complain, or counter any of that, whatsoever . . .” Taking a sip of his drink, Forcias just knew that he was outnumbered anyways, so there was no point whatsoever, except the fact that he still did look at Lucine and winked teasingly to her.
“Good decision, Kes, or you might end up in the dog house with your S.O.” Smirking and taking a sip of the drink bought to her by that guy, Ayla wouldn’t be surprised if sooner or later he tried again but she really wasn’t in the mood to entertain that notion to begin with.

Delaana had pursed her lips to prevent herself from laughing when Lily started sneezing, that was definitely a good indication that someone, whomever was talking about her. Although Lana said nothing of it and just bit her lower lip before shaking her head with still an amused expression. Then there was that Honoghr situation, which reminded her that question earlier from Elika, one that she couldn't quite reply for she was being led for her massage. Squeezing Elika's hand gently before replying to Lily, "Whenever it's convenient, but I did tell my brother soonish indeed." Lana supposed that statement could be also the answer for her Shakal's earlier question.
"Or you could make the trip with us, and give him yourself his message?" Lana suggested thoughtfully, not that she minded to begin with as she would gladly hand over the message to Lily's brother, it wasn't troublesome. "I actually saw your brother from time to time in the law firm when I was there. I have crossed his path." Lana was certain that Lily already knew that much, but also Crystal, but not really one to splat someone else's life that she didn't know that much at all, Lana just looked at Elika. "These last three years whenever I was on a break, I would most of the time go see my brother, which is the reason why it wasn't a big deal with me changing my plans." She admitted in reassurance since perhaps that was probably what made the architect feel guilty earlier that morning.
After all, Lana was not in a rush to go back to Honoghr, at least not anymore, and she was certain that potentially Elika would have to deal with some admin thing, probably, Lana wasn't sure at all. "We can probably go when everything here had been handled, perhaps?" Lana suggested thoughtfully, whatever or however that was being handled, Lana was very certain that Andros would be doing everything to make this whole situation easier for Elika, but also for the lieutenant that were just declared missing, at least.

Laughing when Lily ends up sneezing, Crystal was truly amused for it sounded like her own superpower had acted up to just prove that point to Elika. "Oh, Baby Girl, by default it'll always be the guys' fault." Crystal concurred albeit jokingly, it was their running inner joke quite honestly which was, Crystal was certain, something Elika was very familiar with. Nodding to confirm what Elika had just said about Andros, Crystal smiled knowingly. "He hasn't changed much, Andros is still very much Andros but also a little more approachable, although at least he got the press off everyone's back, so that has been a big relief for him." Crystal explained before tilting her head on her side just looking at Elika, "I am very sure he'll absolutely love getting a text or comm from you too, I was actually wondering if he was coming over our place this morning..." Obviously that did not happen, Andros didn't come and that was due probably to handling that situation about Elika and Lucy.
"Like Lily said, he definitely knew, he also talked for a bit with your Lieutenant yesterday right before Forcias walked into the bay." All in all it was a good reunion for everyone at least, and as it had been said earlier, or inferred, it was heavy on the PDA. "Too bad indeed sweetie that you were shot up with a sedative and drunk, you would have probably seen Lucy in a different light last night." Giggling lowly and shaking her head, Crystal was truly happy for Forcias, as the brief moments she had seen him at the Academy, he just seemed silent, at least much more silent than what she had been used to about him, not that she knew much of him, but nearly three years could do a lot for someone.
"Platonic love between you and your brother, I am sure that Kristijan is busy..." Crystal shot a warning glance at her childhood friend and shook her head before saying playfully. "Don't start, baby girl. I can already imagine your next statement which would include Kassidy." Rolling her eyes teasingly with a knowing grin, Crystal breathed softly just enjoying the steam right now, actually she could just stay right here, and even forego the whole mani and pedi, but it had already been booked and paid for anyways. "Why not make that trip to Honoghr and just see them, it's only fair after all, no? They came here a while back, maybe it should be our turn, that way we can stop with using Lana as the messenger." Winking playfully at the Hapan, Crystal was actually quite warming up to the idea of potentially one of these upcoming days or months, she'd make her way to Honoghr, plus there was also that one thing or that one person she wanted to see for herself, and not just have on a holocomm...

"More volume, got it, Elikapeka tells Lily when offered a bit of constructive criticism on her impersonation of Cosimo, and then tries not to laugh when Lily almost immediately proceeds to sneeze, after which she places the blame on the guys, which Crystal heartily agrees is always where any blame should be placed, causing Elika to smile consolingly to Lily while gesturing towards Crystal to convey her solidarity with them both where onus for the sneezing should most likely be placed. When Delaana says that she hopes their proposed trip to meet with her brother will take place sooner rather than later, Elika smiles in a way making it evident that she is looking forward to making the trip and spending time together even though she is, being Elika, mildly anxious about the impression she might make when meeting Delaana's brother. Looking more than a bit amused as Lily proposes that she and Delaana play courier for her, delivering a message to her brother when they visit Honoghr, which causes Delaana to propose that Lily come along with them so that she has no need of couriers, which in turn prompts Crystal to second Delaana's suggestion, Elika, knowing that Crystal also has reasons that she might want to visit Honoghr, suggests, Well, why don't we all just go to Honoghr together? Arching an eyebrow playfully, Elika tells Lily, With you along, the odds dramatically increase that you'll witness someone doing something embarrassing, Beautiful."
Smiling gratefully when Lily and Crystal reassure her that Andros will understand why she hadn't spoken with him the previous evening, Elika does her best to take their words to heart even though it is in her nature to worry about such things, and makes a mental note to reach out to Andros when the opportunity presents itself. Elika gives Crystal a look that manages to be both skeptical and amused when it is suggested that she might have seen her lieutenant in a different light had she not been intoxicated and sedated the previous evening, finding it hard to imagine her lieutenant as anything other than stoic and ever so serious. Nodding when Delaana suggests that they make the trip to Honoghr once all of the red tape generated by Elika's return after being missing has been navigated, Elika rests a palm against Delaana's cheek as she smiles kittenishly and says, "That sounds perfect, my Ceesi," the prospect of spending time away with Delaana making the matters of having lost years of her life due to an incomprehensible hyperdrive malfunction and of dealing with her uncertain employment situation seem less dire to her than it otherwise might, at least for the moment.
Misty's Bar and Grill
Lucine, unable to resist teasing Forcias just a little after he makes a playful jab at her former standards, rests her chin on her hand while adopting an exaggerated pondering expression for a moment before musing, "Well, he did have that really great long blonde hair . . . and then, relenting in her usual teasing and sarcasm for a moment, if only a little bit, smiles and pecks him on the cheek as she holds her thumb and index finger a few centimeters apart while she says, Maybe a teensy bit higher, dope."
Lucine chuckles knowingly when Ayla sets her flask on the table, having apparently been given that task by Atlantis, "I was wondering if I'd ever see that again, picking up the flask and returning it to her boot as she gives an abbreviated account of how the flask changed hands until being returned to her to Forcias, I loaned it to the geek, circling an index finger as she adds, when crap went sideways and she started having an anxiety fit."
Laughing when Ayla, as enigmatic as most Kiffar seem wont to be nearly all the time unless one also happens to be a Kiffar, replies to the question about how she has been in a way that doesn't really reveal very much at all, Lucine salutes her with her mug of ale as she proposes a playful toast, "To having no complaints, and then, deciding to go against expectation when Horsea asks just how low she had set her standards when starting to see Forcias, leans in closer to Forcias as she tells Horsea, Honestly, if anyone lowered their standards, it was him, and then winks as she tells Ayla, who has told Forcias he made a good decision when electing not to protest against Horsea's question, He's learning, slowly but surely."

Pursing his lips with narrowed eyes, Forcias was looking at Lucy with faked irritation describing that surfer dude. He ended up arching his eyebrow though with an amused expression and even ended tilting his head on the side commenting playfully. “The one he was with had pretty great long blonde hair too . . .” Chuckling before pecking her lips and winking at her, Forcias shrugged nonchalantly, “But fair enough, as long as I am still ranked a teensy bit higher, I can live with that.” Taking a sip of his drink remembering exactly that day they had met that infamous surfer dude whom Lucy had forgotten the name, it was still a happy memory despite what had happened afterwards . . .
“Naboo, huh?” Asked Horsea rhetorically not that she had been privy to the details as far from her to question her friends outright on the whats and whys, whatever both Forcias and Lucy shared that was between them both and really none of her business. Though she did get a nod from Forcias confirming her statements. Even if that had happened three years ago, she still remembered the comm a few of them had received from him actually concerning that certain darksider. She knew that Forcias had stayed behind to investigate further, but insofar that Rodrek, well actually Lincoln Baltzersen hadn’t been heard from just yet, and still that name was still blacklisted in Umgul.
“So I have seen.” Said Ayla as she flexed her gloved fingers at Lucy’s statement when she explained the flask loaning to Elika. “Psychometry, when Atlantis tossed your flask at me.” Probably again that might have been foreign to Lucy, that word or that Force power, not that they were in that part of comparing notes in their abilities. “I saw some recent images flashing in my mind when I held it, but actually Atlantis verbatim said earlier, if I could give the flask to Forcias if I saw him, because Crystal picked it up last night for your geek, but he knew it was yours when he took it this morning.” Since not only she did see Forcias, well it turned out to be a good coincidence since Ayla was with Lucy right here and right now.
Dubiously looking at his CO, Forcias furrowed his eyebrows slightly before taking a deep breath and looking at Lucy with a grin. “Psychometry is a Force power, it’s innate to her bloodline, although Horsea has it too, it allows them to see the history of the object they hold.” Explained Forcias before glancing at Ayla dubiously again. “Does Hon—” Pausing mid-name right then and there, Forcias amended his statement soon enough. “The General know?”
“No, Honoros doesn’t need to know, even if I saw him this morning.” Making a face and remembering exactly their exchange, although not really keen going through that again, Ayla pursed her lips and shook her head. “He wasn’t too thrilled you were back, Lucy, but at the same time there isn’t much he can do. Because yes, he felt your signature last night, and Forcias’ too.” Nodding in Kes’ direction, with a knowing smile, although Ayla wasn’t sure if Lucy knew that they had stygium in their lightsaber crystal chambers. “But to no complaints indeed, and to just live your life the way you want to with whomever you want to.” Lifting her glass in a toast for actually both Lucy and Forcias as she winked to the lieutenant herself. “And you are actually a high step up for him too, more than you’d might know.”
Laughing softly and agreeing to Ayla’s statement, Horsea inclined her head in confirmation. “Oh yeah, believe us, he did not lower his standards whatsoever, we both agree, well Mace, myself, and Ayla, all agree here, since he got with you, he changed in a good way.” Horsea knew that she was pretty much putting the guy she considered like her brother on the spot, but hey, it had to be said, although she could not help but to say, “Just a heads up though, if and when you get back to active duty, Lucine, do not be surprised if someone there is giving you the evil eye.” Rolling her eyes at the precise subject, Horsea shook her head somewhat bewildered at the whole situation.
“One of the Epicanthix siblings?” Venturing that guess, as after all Ayla didn’t really know the ongoings in the government building, but she had eyes, and she could see some of the looks thrown in Forcias’ direction whenever that woman was in the Academy at the same time as Forcias. “Bummer, here I was going to say the brother might have a crush on you, Horsea . . .”
Shuddering on the spot, not because of the crush or whatever but because of the affiliations there. “Yes, granted he might be good looking and even kind and all, but his sister is such a bitch.” Shaking her head and laughing before looking at Lucy explaining quickly. “Epicanthix siblings, they are actually directly under the Vyridian brothers command, they were part of the Tarakin commando left by their uncle, well the female hates me, I think, because she often saw me with your man.”
Opting to not say a thing whatsoever, Forcias just remained mute from there on out and just took a sip of his drink not that he did not care, but at the same time it wasn’t something that he wanted to get into.

Now that is a very good idea ... I can alre- Cutting my thoughts short and looking at the Hapan Bombshell who just informed me that she often saw my brother in the lawfirm "Brate, in the firm huh interesting ... Looking somewhat aggrieved then and there when Baby Girl tells me to not even start. Scoffing more in playful shock than anything Look Baby Girl, you and I both know that the Kasijan thing is a long time coming. Yep, that's their ship name, and apparently it has been sticking back in Honoghr just like Nashay, and Stefael. You are the one who held onto that bet of yours from our teenage years! Still laughing at that memory because those have truly been some good times. Although I am very sure that Gorgeous and the Hapan Bombshell know nothing about it which is why I just end up explaining to them both. Kayne here was the first one who saw it, Kassidy had a dead on crush on my older brother. She denied it, but all of us saw it. We grew up, and apparently from what I understood, she and Kris have been comming one another keeping in touch, and now they are together. So ... Winking at Gorgeous who mentioned that me also going to Honoghr might certainly increase the odds of someone doing something embarrassing. You bet that something embarrassing will happen, it always happen when we all get together."
Good times, always good times. Leaning back and taking a sip of my water just in a completely relaxed state of mind, I distinctly remember Crystal saying something about the lieutenant. "You do know I am going to need details about what happened last night with Lucy and Forcias, right, and what Gorgeous actually has missed." Not that it concerns me or anything but perhaps there is a story there, and some juicy ones, and hopefully it will get Kayne to spill the beans as something tells me that the Lieutenant is always serious around Gorgeous. Not that I ever saw the Lieutenant any differently from the brief moments I have seen her in the past. Something added to my to do list, I suppose ...
"I have plenty of banked offs to take, you think the guys will want to come or we are just restricting this to a girls' trip? It's more a question that I am asking Baby Girl, Although now that I really do think about it, maybe even Ryan will want to come since after all his and Crystal's brother is also there on Honoghr ... Groaning playfully and laughing while shaking my head. Da, Honoghr and Umgul are officially married from my point of view, so many connections."

The exchanges between Lily and Crystal amused her, it always did whenever Lana would listen to them talk to one another. She had to admit, it was refreshing to hear them bantering with one another again, and steadily. Lana knew that Lily's statement there potentially had that double entendre, as usual, which was the reason why Lana just nodded and said nothing further leaving that to Lily's imagination, and Lana didn't really want to give her more ammo for when they did go to Honoghr. "I am guessing you will be cashing in that bet with whomever you had it?" Lana asked Crystal dubiously, after all both Lily's brother and Kassidy were indeed officially together, and it was just undeniable.
More and more, Lana was definitely liking that plan that they would end up being a few going to Honoghr, after all each and everyone of them had a reason to actually go to Honoghr, and like Lily mentioned, there was definitely a lot of personal connections between the people of both planet. "My brother is looking forward to meeting you, my Shakal." That was true, and Lana was also certain that others would probably want to meet Elika too since after all, the architect was also a close and very important friend to both Lily and Crystal. From what Lana knew, and noticed the lawyers in Honoghr and the two government higher ups here had that solid long lasting friendship, plus they did patch things up in the past as well, at least Crystal and Stefanie.
Leaning her head against Elika's palm and smiling, Lana turned her head and pecked the palm of Elika's hand. "It's settled, although just one thing, and maybe this will be easier said than done, but don't worry too much about meeting my brother." Lana murmured softly, as she figured that potentially Elika might be anxious about meeting her brother, but there was no reason to be. "I might be biased when I say this, because he is my brother, but he has the patience of a saint." She knew what she was talking about, Nash was often, if not always there for her, he never cared what time it was for him or whatever, he answered her comms immediately or would get back to her quickly when he was unavailable at that time.
Taking Elika's hand and giving it a squeeze, before leaning over to peck her lips softly, Lana pulled her head back and smile knowingly hoping that Elika wouldn't stress too much when the time came when she would meet Nash.

"Well yes, it was bound to happen sooner or later, maybe it did happen later than what we all expected but it happened." Crystal agreed wholeheartedly to her childhood friend's statement before glancing at Lana and nodding in confirmation about cashing in her bet. "Oh yeah, I am definitely cashing in that bet, and perhaps that trip to Honoghr will be a good time as any." Nibbling her lower lip in amusement, it was somewhat fun, or at least it was that inside joke of hers that she got the upper hand so to speak against Kassidy who was just Lily personality wise. "No denials now from Kassidy Payne about that matter." Pretty pleased with how that turned out truly, she was happy for her friend, but also Lily's brother, who quite frankly had been a big brother for all of them while they were growing up.
Leaning her head against the marbled wall, Crystal took a deep breath and wondered if she should share that tidbit about Lucy and Forcias last night, although in the end, since Crystal didn't really want to debate on that, as Lily would get her answer one way or another anyways, Crystal decided on the spot to fill her in. "Okay, only because I know you are relentless, and this is something that will keep gnawing at you until you get your answer." That was true, and Crystal knew Lily to be that way anyways, courtesy of knowing one another since they were kids. "Last night, both Horsea and Forcias walked into the bay, Forcias was just standing there stoically, and from afar I saw Horsea saying something to him, and as if on cue as well, Andros stepped away from Lucy before the Kiffar just charged at Lucy, picked her up from the ground and went into a lip lock with her." Crystal was close enough to have seen that definitely, and she just knew that it was just a happy reunion so to speak. "Anyways, Lucy had her legs wrapped around his waist, and he walked out of the bay with her still in his arms just at the same time as us." Nudging her childhood friend, "Satisfied, counselor? Can the interrogation stop now?" Laughing and looking upwards while shaking her head, Crystal just leaned back against the wall once more and took a deep soothing breath.
Concerning the Honoghr trip since it was definitely starting to be a definitive plan, Crystal pondered that question, if they would take their significant others with them, she truly didn't know how that would turn out. "I don't know if Atlantis will be able to pull away." Considering his obligations as the headmaster of the Academy, it was a little more complicated for him unlike her brother. "Although Ryan probably, yes, since our other brother is there too. But I suppose we still have some little time to think about it?" Crystal wasn't really worried about it, for right now she was just too relaxed and just too much at ease to think about that plan fully just yet, plus she was certain that soon probably they would all be whisked away for the next part of their treatment.

Elikapeka smiles as she listens to Lily explaining the history behind the "Kasijan Thing" in her uniquely comical style, and then laughs when she affirms the idea that embarrassing situations tend to arise at exponential rates when she is around since that is a well known fact. Arching an eyebrow in amusement when Crystal, knowing that Lily will not be denied, relays her account of what occurred when her lieutenant and Forcias were reunited last night, Elika shakes her head incredulously once the story has been told in it's entirety, finding it hard to imagine her stoic and straight-laced lieutenant behaving with what sounds like a rather pronounced lack of inhibition.
When Delaana says that her brother is looking forward to meeting her, following that up with the suggestion that Elika not worry too much about said meeting, Elika smiles a bit uncertainly but gamely, knowing herself well enough that it is unlikely that she will be able to keep her social anxiety at bay no matter how many reassurances she receives, and so simply tells Delaana quietly, "I'll do my best, my Ceesi," sighing contentedly after they kiss. Listening to Crystal talk about the unlikelihood of Atlantis being able to join the venture to Honoghr, while Ryan likely will be able to do so, Elika feels her stomach flutter a bit as she considers traveling through hyperspace again after what she and her lieutenant just went through and is presented with something else to be anxious about.
Fortunately for Elika, she doesn't have long at all to fret about her newfound worry, Cosimo seeming to suddenly materialize in the steam room with a hand comically held over his eyes as he shouts exuberantly, "You are all decent, no? Theatrically widening his fingers just a bit as though cautiously peeking through them, then smiling widely as he sees there is no need to worry about seeing anything he should not see, Cosimo announces in a booming voice, It is time, my friends, for the manis and pedis! Waving for everyone to get up and get moving, Cosimo ushers the group from the steam room to where his manicurists are waiting, happily explaining, Cosimo has missed you all so that he is going to throw in hand and foot massages at no extra charge! Clapping his hands as they arrive in the studio, Cosimo tells the manicurists, Take extra special care of these lovely guests, they are friends of Cosimo! Once everyone is paired with a manicurist and seated comfortably, Cosimo lifts his arms an cries, Enjoy!" and then bows with a flurry before departing once more.
Elika, settling comfortably into her chair after discussing her mani and pedi wants with her manicurist and deciding on short nails with a subtle iridescent shimmer translucent blush design that she finds understated and delicate, manages to relax after a few moments of the hand massage that precedes the mani, setting her concerns and anxieties aside for the time being as the day's pampering continues.
Misty's Bar and Grill
Lucine smirks when Forcias points out that the surfer dude's female companion also had great hair, asking teasingly, "Oh, it was her hair that captured your attention, huh? Riiiighhht. Nodding, her smile fading just a little bit as she remembers the less fun parts of the trip to Naboo, when Horsea asks if she and Forcias are referring to individuals they had met while on Naboo, Lucine says, Yep," even as Forcias gives a nod to confirm that Horsea is correct.
Never having heard of psycho-whatever, Lucine is grateful that Forcias explains what Ayla was nattering on about when talking about getting mental flashes from her flask, and nods as she tells Ayla, "Tell the Grandmaster thanks when you see him," and resists the urge to ask just what images the woman had seen since she isn't sure she really wants to know what all Ayla might have learned from the flask. Not entirely surprised to learn that Honoros was less than pleased to learn that she is back, Lucine greets the news with a shrug of her shoulders that eloquently reveals how profoundly unconcerned she is by Honoros' opinion.
Smiling in amusement when Ayla and Horsea tease Forcias about his standards and suggest that he has changed in a good way since she and he have been together, Lucine nudges Forcias playfully in the ribs and gives him a look that silently manages to playfully ask him if he agrees with his friends, and then laughs when Horsea explains what she had meant about not being surprised to find herself on the receiving end of an evil eye from a certain Epicanthix. "Thanks for the heads up, Lucine tells Horsea, sounding more amused than concerned by the fact that the sister might be jelly that she is with Forcias , and then, changing the subject slightly, arches an eyebrow as she asks Horsea playfully, So, the brother is hot, not a jerk, and probs has a little crush on ya, huh? Holding her hands out questioningly, Lucine smirks and asks, Why aren't you trying to mingle with that, girl? Because of the sis', or are you worried he'll find you intimidating? Not knowing Horsea well enough to tease her much more than that, Lucine doesn't add anything further, instead asking, We all ready to order, or what?"
