Jek didn't want to let go of Aeris as she clung to him, returning her kiss and wishing that it could only last a little longer but knew they didn't have the time or luxury with the mission still at stake. He nuzzled into her hair, savoring it for just that moment longer "You have nothing to apologize for." he told her, gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "I would do anything for you." he added, not looking away from her until he had no choice because the other man was coming. He took a deep breath to return his focus to the mission and keep a calm that would cover all around him to help ensure that the mans emotions didn't become overwhelming. "Yes, we should." he said, getting into the front of the speeder with her. He refrained from reaching out to hold her hand as she took off at full speed, their hoods falling from their heads. He could feel her need to clear her mind, so he decided to get comfortable and meditate in hopes it would aid her through their bond.<br/><br/>Jek continued to mediate until they reached their destination, where he opened his eyes slowly and hopped out of the speeder before turning to Aeris. "Lead the way." he told her, watching as the man they had just recruited got out to follow after them. He looked towards her, wondering if she would allow the man to follow or risk leaving him with the speeder he could potentially steal.<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>An-Lok turned her glare towards Jax when she caught his smile, but she couldn't stay made at him and it faded away into a small smile as they took off to start their mission. She turned her attention back to the mission before frowning when she noticed which direction they were going in. When he gave her the chance to tell him that she was going in the wrong direction she turned towards him and watched him as she said "You do know Aeris told us to go west, but I chose south east and where the stronger Force Sensitives are." she smiled as she watched his reaction. Holding tight to the speeder as he changed direction, causing her to laugh out loud. "We're behind, how about you see how fast this thing goes before it gets dark." she said, trying to coax him into driving a little recklessly to give her the rush that she wanted.<br/><br/>An had settled down after awhile, able to curl up in the seat to watch scenery go by or stare at Jax. They had been driving for hours with no sign of any settlements or towns as she had expected when choosing to go south east. The sky was changing colours, and she was beginning to feel sore and hungry. "Hey, you wanna choose a place to park us and set up camp!?" she called to him, not sure if any creatures were out there to contend with but confident they would be able to hand it with their lightsabers.
