Jek hung his head as soon as Aeris said they needed to talk, knowing that she was going to confront him. The ddeeper their bond had gotten, the less from her he had been able to hide from her. He felt ashamed for even having tried when their bond had progressed as far as it had, they almost didn't need to talk, even telepathically. She was Sith but spoke wisdom like she was still with the Jedi. He was supposed to be the peacekeeper, it made hm smile only slightly. "I never intended to keep it from you." he said, his voice deeper tahn usual as he looked back up at her, their eyes locking. His brown eyes held his love for her, he was sorry he had kept it a secret has her green eyes captivated him. He leaned into her touch, staring back into her eyes. He believed every single word that she said and that if he wanted to turn and leave right then and there, that she would. But he would harm her in the process, making her break an oath.<br/><br/>Returning her kiss, he took a deep breath as she leaned away and he tapped the plate to remind her to eat. "I will not stop you from taking Force Sensitives, but I will continue to help train them in how they can use the Force. But I will send word back to the council each time we are on a world that there is children there strong in the Force. They can save the younglings." he told her, kissing her softly as he gently tucked some of her hair behind her ear. "I will no longer hide anything from you, my only wish is your happiness." he said, taking something off of the plate to eat. "I love you." he told her, completely and fully committed to her.<br/><br/>When they had finished eating he got up and offered her his hand to walk with her to the lift. He would drop off the plate at the mess hall before meeting her in the hanger bay.<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>An-Lok was glad that Jax managed to resist the tempations, it was a test for them both to resist. Though their greatest trial was going to be the mission and if anything went wrong, would their attention to the other cause problems. She had to take a deep breath as she began to wash herself as well, her hair went up high on her head to avoid a need to wash it just yet. She did her best to wash quickly, following after him after turning the water off and wrapping a towel around her body. An smiled when he asked if he should be getting new robes. She toweled off and put her underwear on as she hesitated in putting her usual attire. She knew the planet was going to be cold, but she didn't have anything really warm enough from spending so long on Korriban.<br/><br/>"Maybe we both need to think about new robes." she said, pulling on her black bottoms, a fitted black under shirt before she was putting on a long sleeve tunic with fitted sleeves. She put on a reinforced leather bracer to each arm and her leather tabbards before her belt and putting her lightsaber in its place. She slid into her boots before grabbing her cloak and putting it on. When she looked at him and saw he was holding his hand out to her, she took it and followed him to the lift and down to the mess hall where she almost let go. She chose to ignore the looks, creating an imposing figure as the Sith Lord that she was. They waited in line like the rest, but then she hit a problem. She hadn't worked out hard like Jax had, but she did need food and had a habit of forgetting meals. She glanced at the cook when he heaved an annoyed sigh and opened her mouth to tell him as such before he served her himself. She gave him a small smile before nodding her thanks and going to sit with Jax.<br/><br/>An settled in to eat, her thigh pressed against his to continue to be close to him as they ate. She wondered what it would be like for them during the mission. She could tell that he had something on his mind, but would ask him about it when they were alone. For now they needed to finish eating before heading down to the shuttle to meet the others. She ate quietly, glad the cook learned some of her habits as it was very filling though there was not much on her plate. When they had finished, she rose to put the plate in the bin for those that needed washing before turning to him so they could go to the hanger. it was almost time for them to drop out of hyper space.
