Jek couldn’t hide his grin when he turned his attention to Aeris and watched her interaction with the boy. Holding her hand had not been enough, but he also knew their focus should be fully on the mission and not what their future might be like. But the same as his interaction served to distract her, her interaction had distracted him. She was so sweet with him, allowing him to see some of her memories of the temple. He had only told stories while showing him his lightsaber, but her interaction seemed to have meant more to the boy and he couldn’t miss the all too familiar mischievous smile as the siblings said their goodbyes and they moved to part ways and he gave him a wink. “I can drive.” He said, enjoying the practice it allowed him now that he was comfortable with it. He got back into the speeder with them and then followed the directions to the terminal. He parked and got out, before turning “You can come with me, if you like to make sure it is the Jedi Council I contact.” He said, aware it was probably for the best if she watched him.<br/><br/>Jek took a deep breath and then put in the code for a direct line to the Jedi Council, schooling his features into something neutral, he did nothing to hide the young alien peeking over his shoulder. He gave them the coordinates of the planet, the location of the town and then the house of each Force Sensitive child on the planet, but he stressed the young boy they left behind and his strength in the Force. He did a bow about to end the call when one of them said “I sense a change in you, young Jek. A great attachment has formed in your short time away from us and the Jedi.”<br/><br/>“Yes, Master. But you had to have known something like this would happen. Excuse me Masters, I have other matters to attend to.” Jek said, quickly ending the call by mashing the button a little too hard. “Come on, we have two more to get before we have to leave.” He said, leading her back to the speeder where he got in.<span style="font-style: italic">“I need to meditate if we are going to contact the council in the future. They could sense my love and attachment to you.”</span>He thought to her before using the Force t guide him to the location of the next recruit.<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>An-Lok hide her surprise well as a servant first answered the door and then the owner. She could sense that this was going to cause issues for sure when she realized that this man saw only men as authority, which made her angry. She frowned, drawing heavily from the Dark Side of the Force as she pushed her way inside past the servant. “We’re here to have a talk, about the Force Sensitive you have here. I know it isn’t you. I can sense that you have no power, so you make up for it with money to push your weight around.” She said, dark and commanding as she stood there in the main hall of the home. She glanced at Jax, glad he was still close to the door as she took in a deep breath and felt out through the Force to find out which one, she had come for, only to realize it was the servant who answered the door. He was strong in the Force, but he used all of his energy to hide it. She extended her hand to the man “I can promise you great power, so you never have to take orders from the likes of men like him again.”<br/><br/>“Now hold on! I bought the boy fair and square! He belongs to me and he will serve this family until his death!” The man bellowed, advancing on her. Suddenly she wished that Jax hadn’t followed her as she reacted with use of the Force, she stopped his breathing and raised him into the air, firing lightening at him so his clothes smoked. “I am a Sith Lord, you will not speak to me that way!” she ground out through her teeth, torturing the man with moments of breath only to choke it away as she shocked him with powerful bits of lightening. If not stopped, she was going to kill him, with no promise that this last man would even join them.
