An-Lok followed after Aeris onto the ship and to the conference room, she watched her take a seat before moving to sit across from her. She smiled as Jax sat next to her, causing her to lean back and slightly towards him. Her hand hidden by the table, she reached over to set her hand on his knee.<br/><br/>Jek gave Jax a half smile and shrug that said much the same thing as the look the other had given him. It spoke of everything and nothing all at once. He trailed after him as the last to enter the ship, he stopped to look around before drawing up the ramp and closing the door behind them as a precaution. He then followed after the rest and sat himself down beside Aeris, offering them all a smile before taking a deep breath and sending his calm over them all in hopes that it would help. It seemed to have the desired effect on An-Lok as more tension eased from her shoulders.<br/><br/>An gave Jax knee a squeeze when he said he was glad that they were all together again and she nodded her agreement at the statement, and it seemed Jek agreed as well with a smile. They allowed the others to talk, both still adjusting a bit to their bond restoring itself and mending. Though she was the first to speak.<br/><br/>"We would have had the five and then some," An-Lok said as she removed her hand from Jax's knee to lean forwards, her forearms on the edge of the table as she spoke mostly with her hands. "But they were younglings and... I couldn't allow them to be forced down the Sith path at such young ages. As much as it bothered me to do so, I set them free." she said, locking eyes with Aeris to let her know she was blaming her for the pressing guilt even though it had been the sleeping child in her arms that changed her mind. "It was never our job to know what they were needed for, it is not our job to ask. But if we press on with our mission, than perhaps..." she trailed off, opening her hands in offer before resting them on the tables surface.<br/><br/>"Perhaps, we find out why and our mission ends up complete." Jek finished, catching on to what the younger woman was trying to say. He looked across at the other man<span style="font-style: italic">"And maybe we free a few to send them to the Jedi."</span>he added, not wanting the girls to know because he didn't want to be excluded. If the girls chose to keep them from helping, the rest of the soldiers would not allow them as free a reign around the ship as they were going to require.<br/><br/>"So, does that settle it then? We continue about our mission to gather Force Sensitives in the hopes the reason why is revealed?" An-Lok asked, folding her fingers together while leaning into the table. Their numbers were divided on what they needed and wanted to get completed, it was easy to see and feel within the room. But it was also easy to feel their desire to remain together.
