Jek smiled as she came back into herself, kissing his cheek and then rising up. He shifted his weight and rose to his feet easily, turning to look at her he folded his arms into his sleeves in a very Jedi way. He took in a deep breath as she said that they were staying together, and he knew that she needed him to keep her focus and calm. "I would not have it any other way." he said honestly in agreement to stay with her. Taking a deep breath, he grounded himself in the Force to keep his focus as she told the others what they were going to be doing. He wondered briefly, if Aeris had also told An-Lok the new plan yet before she was turning to him and asking if he was ready. He gave her a nod and followed after her as she began to make a trek North, heading directly into the city. He was sure that they were going to need to head all the way through it before they would reach the Force Sensitives. There was a chill in the air so he drew on the Force to warm himself as they walked, trying not to stand out but he stood out greatly compared to her.<br/><br/>They were nearing shops and he slowed, reaching out to her through the Force to let her know as he fully stopped, staring into the window of what appeared to be a clothing shop. "I think I need different attire." he said, glancing at Aeris with a brief smile before he headed inside. "Just a brief stop." he said, aware that they still had the mission to complete and he would need to send word to the Jedi before they departed on the shuttle. He cast a look around, removing his hood as he began to walk towards a back corner to the less flashy items. He settled on a shirt of thick material in a dark green, a shade or two darker than her eyes, and black pair of pants more fitted than his current pair. He even chose a simple looking jacket that came to mid thigh and changed before stepping out to model for Aeris. "Well?" he asked, wondering if she would agree with his choices. The jacket was more than enough to hid his lightsaber and had a hood he could draw up to continue to hide his blonde hair if needed.<br/><br/>His Master had been a more simple man who wore chose the more scratchy and neutral materials to wear, so that had been what he wore. He was not given the choice of any other attire like some of the other Jedi's. No blues, or reds, and nothing other than the uniform. For the first time, he actually had the option to wear something else, so he decided to try.<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>An-Lok settled in and got comfortable, but when she closed her eyes and tried to mediate she got stuck. She was trying to force it, she was trying to bend the Force to her will as she had learned to do from becoming a Sith. It didn't matter how strong one was in the Force, the dark side made it hard to harness it naturally like those in the light. So she struggled to actually mediate the way she used too. She was getting angrier and more frustrated when Jax's calm surrounded her senses and eased the tension of her muscles, making her relax and melt. Then came his gentle guidance, showing her once again how to mediate and open back up to the Force. With deep calming breaths, her frustrations, tensions and all of her anger ebbed away. Just feeling the Force this way, that she had not in years filled her momentarily with happiness and she let it swirl around her. It mended the last of the dark side taint that showed on her skin, though she would not know this until later.<br/><br/>Aeris' voice invaded her thoughts to inform them that they were going to be splitting up and she didn't argue it when she felt that the other woman needed her space from them and the turmoil of emotions. She acknowledged the request and then sighed as she was pulled from mediation. An looked up at Jax when she felt him stand, her amber eyes studying him for a moment before she took his offer hand to rise back up to her feet. She brushed imaginary dirt from her clothing before looking to him as he asked if she was ready and if they should head west. Aeris had done what she had been trying to do in her fit of anger contained on the shuttle, every location of every Force Sensitive on the planet. It was true that the ones to the west were closer, but she was more drawn to the ones stronger in the Force to the South East. It was farther out in a settlement that would require at minimum a days travel. It would also mean better clothing for them both, and various other supplies. Pulling her hood far over her head to hide most of her face, she began to lead the way back towards the shuttle. "No, we will go South East." she told him, striding with purpose.<br/><br/>"You." she said at they approached the soldiers, pointing randomly at a group closest to them. One them jumped to attention "Lord Jonem!" he all but shouted and she held back a wince. She wasn't sure which solders had begun to use her last name during the war, but it was something that had stuck into this new war. "I want you to acquire transportation for us. A land speeder preferably." she told him, watching him salute before running off to complete her order. She pointed at the next man "We need supplies, enough for..." she paused to count the Force Sensitives "Five people for three days, ensure you grab a temporary shelter of some kind." she said, knowing that it was way too many supplies but she wanted to be sure they had more than enough. As the next one was running away, she pointed at the last man "Well, come along. We need one more thing, and you can carry it." she said, not intending to tell him it was just clothing.<br/><br/>An turned to Jax and looked him over before giving him a brief smile and motioning for him to walk beside her as they made their way into the city to find a shop to purchase better clothing for the cold of the planet. She had not changed her style much in the ways from what her former master had worn to what she wore as a Sith. Reinforced leather bracers she didn't always wear, darker colours and the leather tabards were the only change. She decided to try a form of communication they had not yet used.<span style="font-style: italic">"You wanted new clothing. Let's see what this cold planet had and go from there."</span>she thought, as they marched in on the other side of the city from the other half of their group.
