Jek gave a brief nod to agree with her, aware the pair were probably going to cause issues on their chosen path. He was quiet the rest of the way, and he climbed out of the speeder as they arrived at their destination, falling into step beside Aeris as the other pair followed after them. He allowed her to knock on the door before arching a brow when the sound of an argument reached his ears and he turned to look at Aeris, as if to silent ask if she was sure she wanted this pair.<br/><br/>"DO NOT ANSWER THAT DOOR!!!" A female voice was easily heard, a male voice responded back, quieter but you could tell it was male. There was more yelling and then a man appeared in the doorway, opening the door with a tense smile, it faded as the female voice rang out again "I told you not to answer that door!" she appeared behind him, far away from the door. Jek took a deep breath and stepped forwards, he went to fold his arms into large sleeves he didn't have and instead presented his empty hands "For now, we have only come to talk." he said, extending his hand to catch the heavy pot she threw at him. He spun it slowly, before setting it down gently on the floor.<br/><br/>"That was amazing!" the man said, grinning like a fool. "If you come with us, you could learn to do the same." Jek said, deciding to fold one hand over the other and letting rest in front of him in a more formal matter. "No!" she shouted again, and it was only years of training that kept Jek from reacting. "Why?" he asked simply, leaving the question hanging in the air. "Because our entire life is here!"<br/><br/>"But that life can go with us." the man had argued back, gesturing to the bags inside the door that appeared as though he had packed them in haste as they didn't appear fully closed and one had an article of clothing half staying out of it. "No!"<br/><br/>"Yes!"<br/><br/>"No!"<br/><br/>"I'll leave without you." he counted, and before his partner could even respond the man behind them had and Jek stepped off to the side, taking Aeris with him. The first man they had picked up was an outward explosion of anger, entirely directed at the couple, so Jek kept his love behind him, standing at just the right angle to hid that he was holding her hand. His focus was fully on her though it didn't appear to be that way. He rubbed her knuckles, placing himself in the way of the emotional onslaught.<br/><br/>"Quit arguing! Do you have any idea how lucky the two of you are just be together!? Do you not know how much it hurts not to have the one you love there!?" his hurt was so easily felt so very easily through the Force, he had no control, no way of grasping it. That void he carried, was felt for the first time by the other three, and he watched the couple deflate while the other woman tried to calm him. "I want to go... There is nothing for us here. We haven't been able to find jobs and..." he trailed off, giving her a pleading look. She deflated and walked over, wrapping her arms around him and giving him a brief kiss "Let me get what you missed." she told him before disappearing back into the house.<br/><br/>Jek had tuned them out to turn to Aeris, when the first man lost control of his emotion she his only concern. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her to him and whispering the same reassurances as before, his love for her invading his entire being as he thought much the way she had before, that the fact he would do anything and everything for her was why attachment was forbidden. He was contemplating dark thoughts of ending the mans life to end his suffering if it meant they no longer affected his love.<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>An-Lok smiled up at Jax when he wrapped a blanket around her and began to prepare them a meal. She settled in and just, watched him, utterly in love with him. She did nothing to hide it, not looking away from him when he looked her way. She rose up and went to sit right in his lap, straddling him as she moved the blanket to be around him while her fingers tangled in his hair. She said nothing as she kissed him deeply and passionately, pressing her body into his. "I want you for dessert." she whispered against his lips, aware if she didn't move off of him that their food was likely going to burn. She was reluctant as she slid off of lap to sit beside him, leaning into his side as she shared the blanket with him. It occured to her watching his hands with the meal that she hadn't put the bed into the tent.<br/><br/>"Excuse me." she said, slipping away from him and hurrying over to dig through the crate the tent had been in find if bedding was in there. She gave him a small shy grin before hurrying to put them inside the tent so that she actually could enjoy him after their meal like she wanted. She returned to his side when finished and kissed his cheek, setting her head on his shoulder to settle against him. Even though they had a mission to do in the morning, she had silent hopes for more things like this in their future. Ever since the Force brought them back together, she didn't just see being a Sith Lord in her future. She saw him.
