Aeris was glad when Jek complied with her, telling her to go ahead. She smiled happily as she did just that, going on to provide him with as much pleasure as he could take until he begged for release. She happily complied, enjoying every touch he gave her in return until they had both reached completion. She smiled as his hands rubbed her sides as she melted into him, and again when he returned her words of love. She had stayed with him for several minutes at least, until she couldn’t wait any longer and had gotten up to relieve herself, take her pill, and collect their food.<br/><br/>She grinned at him when he told her that he was very happy before kissing her cheek and then digging into the meal. When she’d mentioned the training session, he nearly choked on his food, and she only barely managed to contain her laughter, snickering quietly to herself instead. After he composed himself, he flashed her a grin, looking particularly mischievous, which piqued her interest, considering her rare it was for her to see such a look on his face. It was cute, and it took every ounce of self-control she had not to forget about the food and climb into his lap right then.<br/><br/>She resisted, if only barely, and listened as he gave his answer. She couldn’t help but laugh this time. It light, airy, and completely happy. “Works for me,” she grinned, kissing him back. She was more than happy to grant him whatever he desired, so if he wished to stay here and spend more time alone with her, she would gladly comply.<br/><br/>“Patience and self-control never were my strengths, though, were they?” she mused, placing the tray off to the side and moving to sit in his lap, straddling him and wrapping her arms around the back of his neck. This time it was her turn to give him the not-so-rare mischievous look before she leaned in and kissed him softly. It was a brief kiss, followed by a peck on his nose and a grin as she leaned back just a little. If he wished to finish their food, she would allow it, but she was quite comfortable here, so she had no intention of moving.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>Jax had wanted to joke about how nice it must be to be small enough to move relatively freely in such confined spaces, but he’d managed not to. Being small or being tall both came with perks and their own downsides, as he well knew. The world was made for average people, so there were times when anyone on either end of the spectrum would have trouble, whether that meant difficulty reaching things on a shelf that an average person could reach, or bumping your head on a doorframe that is set a little too low.<br/><br/>This situation just happened to play to her strengths and not his. Besides, small people tended to get mad when you pointed out their size. They also tended to have big personalities to make up for their size, and she was no exception. He would rather not be on the receiving end of her wrath, if he could avoid it. It was just not worth it to make that joke.<br/><br/>Once they’d worked together to put things up, they took their seats by the fire and began to eat. An-Lok ended up not eating much, which he guessed shouldn’t be a surprise. She’d eaten more in the past couple of days than he thought he’d seen her eat since they’d been reunited. Plus, the food the soldiers had gotten for them was rather hearty, meant to hold you over for an extended period of time, just in case, so it was no wonder that she couldn’t finish it all. He accepted the bowl when she handed it to him, shrugging and dumping what remained into his own bowl, finishing both of their food while she took the tent apart and tidied up.<br/><br/>Once he’d finished eating, he stood and began to pack the remaining items into the crates as she arranged for the shuttle to meet them in the city. He loaded the crates while the recruits packed put out the fire and packed up the last few items so that he could load the final crates back into the trunk. He chuckled when An was quick to into the front of the speeder and suggest that they get going. “Yeah, sure,” he said as he gestured for the recruits to load up.<br/><br/>He snickered to himself at the third recruit’s hesitation, the amusement that An didn’t hide, and the second recruit’s confusion. “Don’t worry, the seat covers are easy to clean,” he teased, waving dismissively. “WHAT!?” the second recruit literally jumped right back out and Jax couldn’t help but laugh. It was really too easy. “What I meant was that they<span style="font-style: italic">have</span>been cleaned,” he assured them with thinly veiled amusement. When they both eyed him incredulously, he chuckled and pulled something from the trunk, tossing it to them before he closed the trunk. “Wipe it down again if you don’t believe me,” he shrugged as he hopped into the driver’s seat, grinning at An-Lok when the two eyed one another, as if to decide who would do it.<br/><br/>“We don’t have all day, you know,” he told them, only partially joking this time, hurrying them along until they had both wiped down their own half of the backseat and then loaded themselves up, still not seeming to fully trust the seats. He started the engine, snickering to himself and checking to make sure that the first recruit was ready on their speeder bike before he took off, leading them back towards the city at a faster pace than the previous day, but not fast enough to terrify their already traumatized recruits.
