Jek gave Aeris a smile, projecting a calm and reassurance to her through their Force Bone when she blushed at the fact that she was leading the way. He was far too happy to follow after her, as he had when they were children. It had always been the girls who were the leaders and he had no qualms of following after now. Besides, every little quirk of hers was utterly perfect. Even how she led them through the streets to food, with aid of the Force. And he couldn't help but grin as they got to the market and she took his hand to lead her right over to a stand that had similar pastries as the ones offered by the place they stayed in. The fruit he took went into a pocket, saving it for later as he picked a few items, ensuring to take a few extras as always due to habit. He would offer whatever they didn't eat to the others when they got back. Once they had paid, he followed her to a table and settled in across from her. The pastry wasn't as sweet but it wasn't savory either, it was like a perfect blend. "It's great." he told her with a smile, glancing around briefly before reaching across to give her hand a squeeze. "I think its almost as good as yours." he told her lightly, not at all teasing. "Don't stop." he added, delighted to have heard the sound again. It brought up so many pleasant memories from their youth, when they had been together.<br/><br/>Jek at in silence as Aeris called the shuttle for them, listening as she berated some soldier on the other line. He waited until she was done, munching on some meat filled pastry. He was going to ask what she meant by An-Lok being right when she went back to eating and seemed to perk back up after the brief interaction. He chose to ask later, smiling at her as he gently nudged her foot beneath the table with his own to tease her lightly as he used to when they were preteens. It was far easier for him now as an adult to keep a neutral look on his face. He took another bite of the pastry, content to sit with her and take his time as she had given them enough to eat and get to the hanger.<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>An-Lok returned Jax's gentle kiss when they finished the meal, which left her reluctant to get up but she did so and began to walk around the room to pick up her clothes and put them back on. She pulled on her black fabric pants, closed her tunic tight around her and put the black leather tabards over it before she was putting on her belt to keep them securely closed. She sat on the bed to put her boots on and summoned her lightsaber to hook onto her belt as she made for the door. She watched him put on his robe, looked him over and then shook her head "You look too much like a Jedi." she told him, stepping into his personal space to caress his cheeks before pulling his hood up. She pulled it so that his face was hidden in the shadows, she stole a quick kiss before stepping away to grab her own robe. She mainly wore it for the effect her own hood could provide, though she left the hood down as she pulled her hair over her shoulder to begin braiding it. She felt like free flowing hair got in the way and had been braiding it since childhood. "I think, I should show you the command deck first." she said, leading the way out into the hall and down towards the lift. An had learned during the Mandalorian war, commanding soliders, to walk with purpose and it had led to her walking with a heavy step than she used to, her boots clicked in the hall of the cruiser as she walked.<br/><br/>She was silent as she braided her hair, appearing to be in thought as she stared at him. She finished braiding her hair as they arrived on the command deck and she left it on her shoulder while pulling her hood up to cover the rest of her hair while she marched out into the room, hoping that he was right behind her. She knew the presence of someone new trained in the force appearing would cause tensions among the soliders but she ignored them as she strode towards the man in charge, sending Force lightening to fry the droid making repairs to the console she liked to sit at. It was better if it didn't work when she kicked her boots up on it. "I may have failed in obtaining the Force Sensitives clustered in that little town, but," her tone was harsh and demanding "I acquired something far better than a bunch of children who cannot fight." she told him, turning and raising her hand in a gesture towards Jax. "A former Jedi I used to know quite well. He has defected from the order and wishes to aid in our fight." she said, pulling from what she had told him of his own mission. Though she was intent on never letting him return now that they were together again, she would not willingly give up their love for what she felt were corrupt Jedi views. No, the Sith were not much better, but she didn't have to ignore her emotions or answer to a council. "He will be joining us, and he will share quarters with me. If anyone on this battlecrusier tries to talk about it in secret or spread rumors, I will deal with them myself. Is that understood?" she ground out, standing before him in a stance that said she was ready to cut him down if he did not agree.<br/><br/>Getting an agreement from him on both fronts, An spoke with him a while longer about the mission and visiting of other planets before turning to Jax. "Come, I'll show you the mess hall and where the hanger bays are. Anything else you wish to know the location of?" she asked him, leading the way back to the lift, her outfit perfectly billowing around her. "Maybe the power control center or the barracks." she added as the lift doors closed on them and they began their journey down into the main body of the ship. She stopped it on the top floor, deciding to surprise him with the training center as she had Aeris. "Actually, come with me. You'll like this." she said, not hiding her devious grin.
