“I will hold an early morning training session for all of you and the ones already here in the training room.” Jek decided to tell them, to give them reason to settle in. He stopped a soldier to have them spread word of the others and to ensure they would have full use of the training room with no interruptions from the soldiers.<br/><br/>After a few moments, he followed after Aeris into the mess hall. He allowed her to go first and choose something to eat before he got something for himself and then went to sit down beside her. He gave her knee a gentle squeeze as he whispered in her ear “At least eat something for me. Its been a long day and we made no stops for food while gathering everyone up.” He pointed out, holding back from kissing her cheek because he could wait until they were alone. “I love you.” He added softly, before tucking into his own meal. He’d gotten something a little heartier and filling than she had, but he took his time as he did his best to coax her into eating and at least finishing most of her soup. “I’ll be right back.” He told her, taking their dirty dishes to the bin before returning to her side.<br/><br/>“Shall we?” he asked, offering her his hand to help her to her feet before he was offering her his arm to walk with her back to their quarters. He ended up wrapping his arm around her shoulders as they were in the lift, keeping her firmly pressed into his side as he let her feel just how much he loved and cared for her. He was hoping to try and make whatever it was she had to tell him easier to get out. He would place absolutely no judgements on what she had to tell him, because as long as he could continue to have her in his life that was all that mattered.<br/><br/>****<br/><br/>An-Lok snickered softly when one of them called Jax “Boss”, she had to control herself because all she wanted to do was laugh. None of them, except for their last, had seemed to pick up on the fact she had been first to approach and speak with all of them. “Right now, you’ll find that he isn’t much of anything.” She decided to quip, grinning deviously at him. “He follows where I go, and was a Jedi.” She decided to tell them before they were all being served dinner, leaving out that they were a couple because they could find that out in time if their earlier display had not given it away already. She took the first bowl but hadn’t taken a bite of it when he saw down. She gave him a quick smile, raising the bowl up to start eating. Because of its warmth she ate it all and handed the dish back before settling in front of the fire, stretching out her hands towards the flames to warm them.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">“You know, there is a chance you might not fit in the tent either.”</span>An decided to inform him, watching all three recruits talk around the fire about the difference in their lives and experiences in the Force, though it sounded like most had spent more time hiding their connection than embracing it. She merely shook her head, knowing that Jek was going to be in his glory training these three. She knew he tried to hide that he was taking on the role of teacher, but the soldiers always told where the former Jedi were on the ship so his sneaking did nothing. She pushed those thoughts aside, turning to look at her boyfriend. She looked him over slowly before giving a subtle gesture towards the Speeder.<span style="font-style: italic">“I think we both might just fit in the back, if you want to move the blanket while they’re distracted.”</span>She said, smiling at him to hide that she was still only just a little upset with him still. She would be over it before they ever got back to the shuttle anyway, and most especially after spending a night pressed into him.<br/><br/>The three recruits were all faced away from them, trying to take turns lifting a rather large boulder with the Force and once all in the tent she was sure they weren’t going to notice his missing if he stayed sitting up with her.
