Aeris could feel Jek’s amusement through the Force, and she couldn’t help but smile when no one was looking. Her mood felt lighter and calmer now as they headed to their third destination. This time they were actually looking for a pair of Force Sensitives, a married couple. She glanced back to the backseat, where their newest recruit was chatting away and the first seemed at least a little calmer. She wasn’t quite sure how they would fit all of the recruits in the backseat, but they would figure something out, she thought.<br/><br/>When she glanced at Jek, she noted the frown on his face. He told her that the two had decided to go after the stronger Force Sensitives to the south east instead of the ones to the west. It didn’t surprise her that An-Lok had ignored her suggestion and gone for the stronger ones. If it had been her choice, she would have gathered those near their currently location and then taken the shuttle to another location closer to the groups out that way, including those the other pair were heading towards, since she thought that they could have collected more recruits in less, or at least the same amount of time that way. In the end, though, it was An-Lok and Jax who had to choose their own path. She couldn’t make their decisions for them, nor would she try. All she could do was give her opinion and let them decide what was right for them.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">“You’re probably right,”</span>she agreed with him,<span style="font-style: italic">“It’s probably best if we finish up and get our recruits back to the cruiser before the storm hits. We can go after them tomorrow, if they aren’t back,”</span>she added, glancing his way to see if he agreed. There was little they could do for them now, and they had their own recruits to worry about.  She figured it would be sometime tomorrow before Jax and An finished collecting their recruits, so there was no reason to keep the shuttle and their recruits here tonight. They could always take the shuttle out to the south east tomorrow or use the time to collect a couple more recruits.<br/><br/>For now, she focused on getting them to their next destination. It took over an hour for them to arrive at their next destination, and when they arrived, she turned the speeder off and hopped out. She looked to Jek and the other two who were climbing out to follow, then shrugged. She didn’t really care if they came or not. Actually, she had a feeling that they might just come in handy, so she didn’t stop them from following as she headed towards the house and knocked at the door.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Jax was going to offer An-Lok some help in unloading the boxes and setting up the tent, but she seemed to have it under control and gestured for him to stay away. When she asked him to build a fire, he nodded an agreement. “Yeah, sure,” he said as he went about collecting what he needed. He picked a spot and prepared it so that it would be protected from the elements as much as possible, and so that there was no danger of it spreading anywhere unintended—not that there was a great risk of that, since it seemed that there was a storm rolling in.<br/><br/>He finished about the same time she finished setting up the tent and took a seat near the fire. He looked up at the sky as he felt her sit next to him. He watched as the clouds rolled in, looking over at An when she asked if they’d been given a cover for the speeder, concluding as he had that there was likely to be snow tonight. “I’m not sure,” he said before standing, “I’ll check. He walked over to look through the boxes, both to get out some food to heat up, and to see if he could find a cover for the speeder.<br/><br/>“Yep. Here we are,” he said, pulling one from a box before closing it back up. He proceeded to quickly place the cover over the speeder, ensuring that it was well secured. Once the speeder was covered, he collected the food and utensils he had set aside, as well as a blanket, closed the last box, and headed back to the fire. He first wrapped the blanket around An, feeling that it would soon get colder as the clouds brought with them a chilly breeze. He gave her a quick kiss on the top of her head before he got the food warming over the fire and then took a seat next to her to rest while they waited for the food.
