Jax watched Aeris with careful eyes as he finished of his third pastry of the morning. Listening to every word she told him, about how she was too nice to the soldiers and they didn't worry about any of the other Sith Lords like they did her. She hesitated in talking about the previous war, leading him to believe she wasn't truly a part of this new one between the light and dark sides of the force. They were not longer teasingly nudging each others feet as she was telling him more of herself. She hadn't sought to make herself more powerful among the Sith, instead hiding away. For that, he was actually rather glad and when she looked to him again, he could only offer up a reassuring smile while still entirely calm and relaxed. He was not disappointed in her, just a little sad that he had not been there at her side through it all. When she stood, ready to go to the hanger, he got up as well, disposed of the papers of what the two he ate and put the others in a pocket of his cloak before falling into step at her side as they headed towards the hanger. A shuttle could already be seen in the distance far above them, entering the planets atmosphere.<br/><br/>Giving her shoulder a gentle nudge as they walked Jax said "You know, as a Sith or not, I think the soldiers care about you more and are more willing to listen to you if they were trying to get a hold of you. Maybe that's not normal in your Imperial army, but I think that it is." He kept a slow pace as they walked, not in a hurry to leave so soon. He wasn't sure how things were going to work when the got onto the battlecruiser and did not want to be apart from her just yet.<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>An let out a light laugh when he asked if she was trying to duel him by showing him the facility at the top of the ship. "Not now, no. We haven't really got the time." she told him, not willing to share the fact she had been injured the last time she was in there with Aeris. She was also sure, having mastered more of the seven forms during and after the Mandalorian war that the fewer forms he chose would not hold up. Especially now, as she tended to prefer the flasher types of combat with various flips and leaps. She let him take it in a moment longer "Come on, we should have just enough time to show you the main power center, barracks and hangers before they arrive." she said, leading him back out into the hall and to the lift. They went down to approximately the middle, where the led the way to somewhere between the back and middle. She ignored the soldiers outside and around it while she showed him the power center, the core of the ship. "Someone is almost always here." she told him, walking around the circular console right in the middle of the room that went from floor to ceiling. She took slow, steps full of purpose before motioning for him to keep following her.<br/><br/>She led him to the lift and a few more floors down "Half the barrack on this floor, more that way." she said, pointing down the hall. "We have some more barracks on the floor below and the more important quarters, you'll remember are above where we are. Commanders, and Sith Lords don't have to share. There are also shower facilities with the rest of the barracks below and a smaller one at the end up here." she told him, leading the way into one of the doors right off the lift. It was the mess hall and she didn't go farther than the door. She didn't like how the soldiers stared, like Sith weren't meant to eat and only survived off of the Force. It was why she frequently called for food to be brought to her. She let him see it before marching back out to take the elevator at last to the hangers. Down in the hanger area, An-Lok took Jax's hand as she walked with him, telling him which hangers had fighters, which ones held cargo, where the shuttle docked and then which held Aeris's ship. "She kinda split off at the end of the war, to do her own thing." she said, removing her hood as she put in the code for that hanger. She felt through the Force, to the planet below them to find where the other two and found they were on the way. A nervousness creeped in on her then, laced with a fear on what Jax was going to think when he saw the dark sides corruption on her. He had always been like a brother to her, both having been raised from infancy by the Jedi and placed within the same Clan before the others joined.
