A day or two...

[Adron Malvern]

Hearing Anya speak on the matter more brought Adron a bit of comfort, and as it went on peace of mind. Eventually he came to a decision, though it was a difficult one to host.

As she took his hands he gave a moment of pause before leaning forward and placing a soft kiss on her lips.

"I can't promise it won't bother me a bit....but I promise I can try my best to look past it." He said, rubbing Anya's hand as he spoke.

"Like I said, it's a lot, but give me some time and I'm sure I could adapt to it." He finally decided. "That being said, he should live in the manor. No boy should be away from his mother." Adron said, turning his attention to the image of Carannia in the distance.

She watched him lean forward, her lips connected to his as she shivered and smiled as she pulled away when he did

I understand adron...it's something I've out off trying to deny it...something that I can't deny longer anymore. I will be there with you though...ill have to adapt again to mother hood...this time...actual motherhood

She looked out to see the carannia approaching as she took his hamd and squeezed it with a smile

we're unstoppable right? This is just another obstacle for us to get over...together...now let's enjoy this might shall we?

 

[Adron Malvern]

Just as their speeder began to pass over the building's of Carannia Adron smiled at Anya, running a soft hand over her cheek. "We are unstoppable, you're right." He said, reassuringly.

The speeder came to a slow stop on a rather slow street in the middle of the city. While the sidewalks were not particularly filled the streets and hoverzones above were packed with traffic, most wishing to use their speeders and pods as apposed to walking. Stepping out of the speeder Adron held his hand out for Anya, helping her out. "There is a very beautiful botanical center I thought we could go see." He said, glancing around the streets for a moment.

After Anya joined him they would make their way down the sidewalk. "I never actually came to Carannia that much as a kid. It's a hub of politics and deceit, my father wanted us kept out of the political games."

"However," He said, amusement filling his tone. "My oldest sister would sneak down here every chance she could get, she loved it here."

She have a smile, truely this man was a rock to her...someone who held her center she put a hand on his and glanced out seeing the city below

She felt the speeder slow, street seemed not as crowded however glancing up for but a second as she got out hand in adrons and noticed it was packed beyond belief

She looked around th place moving close to him as she looked to him, seemed like a city of sin and deceit hidden under a nice display...honestly she wasn't one for politic stuff till she met adron...now she was slowly and slowly become interested

your sister sounds like someone I would've gotten along with very well

She frowned a little...the fact that adron ha slots his family was something she shared with him...however she wasn't particularly close to her parents...unlike adron who was close to his family

 

[Adron Malvern]

As they made their way down the street Adron could not hep but notice the citizens that often paused as he walked by them. Some gave him respectful nods, others would outright bow to the man, and there were the occasional few who would sneer at the Count. Such was the life of a man who had risen through the political muck of his homeworld.

When Anya mentioned Adron's sister he could not help but chuckle at the thought. "I love you, but I think there would have been a scuffle over who means more to me. She was a b- she was crazily protective of me." He said.

"Anyway....you know earlier you mentioned having children with me....is that really what you want?" He questioned, his tone hinting more of curiosity then doubt. "It's just. I'm expected to take a wife soon as my duty to my house and....well I don't want you to feel pressured into doing anything you don't want to." He said.

She watched As some wpuld stop to look at adron, she had to remind herself that his house was well respected by most, she also saw some sneer and just glared at them, listening about his sister she snorted a bit and laughed

Hahaha that type huh? Either way I bet she would've liked me or at least start to

She next question kinda was a curveball, she took a minute to thinl...she had to say yes to herself she cpuld see herself being his wife and having his children, so she spoke

honestly adron...yes, I have had night where I stayed up working just to think on those thoughts, I can see myself at your side I can see myself carrying your children...i didn't want to push anything as it is a choice I knew you had to make first

 

[Adron Malvern]

Listening to Anya a smile came to his face once again. "Good." Was all he said in response.

Soon they had made it to the botanical center where Adron had planned for them to take a look at the massive gathering of fauna, both foreign and domestic. Taking the route into the park, he glanced over to Anya. "You know. I haven't been struggling with controlling the Dark Side as much lately. I've practiced using it more and more. It doesn't affect me as much. I wish I had more time to devote to my training." He said.

The park before them was filled with a mixture of elegant and beautiful flowers. Many seemed to hail from worlds like Felucia, which had extremely large plants, others seemed to simply come from other worlds able to host such things. Adron bent down to look at a bush of black roses, marveling at their beauty.

"I love roses, you know? Especially black ones. Although it's no secret that black is one of my favorite colors." He said with a smile.

"But my favorite color is actually silver, I think it's a bit better than black. A bit more...pure." He completed.

"One day, when we have kids we can bring them here...Hopefully by then all of these worlds will have some semblance of peace." He commented.

She Was a but confused by the response, but his smile just explained it all as she couldn't help and smile

She watched as they approached the gardens, her eyes took in the many colors from afar as she smiled, she glanced to adron as he explain how he had more control with the dark side now...she smiled proudly knowing she had helped him

I am very proud to here adron! It fills me with pride knowing that my experience has helped you. I've gotten ahead in my research of this grey area...apparently one can combine a sith holocron and a jedi one

She watched as the garden was now before her, she could nite the several different plants some larger then her entire body, however they stopped at some black roses. Anya crouch to inhale their scent looking up with a snile

black and silver...both that compliment one another in a wondrous way...almost metaphorical on how the force works

She wondered if she could take a white rose and black rose and try to cross breed them to get a silver color...surely she would need to make it a surpirse for adron. His next comment kinda shocked her for a minute, he was confirming to her that they'd have kids...she smiled and nodded

yeah...i wouldn't mind bringing our future kids to see these gardens...have us some little hands to help out in our own right?

 

[Adron Malvern]

Moving further down the garden Adron considered telling Anya of some of the plans he had been having once the New Republic was formed. An almost giddy smile came to his face before he turned to her. "I'll be twenty years old soon....and I'll have founded a new democratic government for peace and prosperity. I can't help but think I'm doing ok for myself."

Far from the young boy who was helpless on the day his family was murdered, Adron was now a man with both power and respect at his finger tips. His list of enemies grew shorter as his number of allies multiplied by the day, yet he still was not whole.

"Still....Not all my matters are closed. Serenno itself is still mucked in the negative politics of it's Count. But there time will come." He said, balling his hand into a fist as he considered the time when he would destroy the people who killed his family.

"Anyway. On that matter in the Republic I'll have a very important job for you. I want you to lead a special section of agents and warriors. Force-users who use their talents to protect the Republic. But we can talk about that later, I'm sorry sweetie, I need to stop talking about work." He chuckled, taking notice of a humongous Venus fly trap that was obviously imported into the planet. "I would not want to be eaten by that." He muttered.

She gaveba smile as she listened to him, she could tell he was very happy. About what she didn't know, however she listened to him she leaned to kiss his cheek

not to mention you have a wonderful and loyal lady at your side to help you out through it

Truely even anya had changed a lot...now 24 years old only a tear ago was she at the mercy of a man she could only call a monster now. But she left ended up finding adron and grew stronger in the force and as a person

She placed a hand on his fist and unballed it as she looked at him and spoke

one way or another they will fall...and you won't have to do it alone...you won't eve shave to do it alone

She listened again and smirked as she heard him go on, truely she felt honored that she would be in charge of a position like that. She thought it made sense she was a proud warrior herself

honestly I think it's a perfect time to discuss stuff, we both are alone with nothing to distract us so makes it easier...but forgetting about work was the goal so hahaha

She smiled and looked at the large plant as she nodded

probably worse then a sarlac pit

 

[Adron Malvern]

A smile came to Adron's face as Anya spoke her agreement of speaking about business, though he was still a bit hesitant to speak. "My mother often spent her time helping the people on Serenno. I wish to do the same for the entire galaxy. Why can't every person have the luxury and wealth of a Count? Ok...Perhaps that is a bit much but every being is deserving of a chance for greatness. Once the Republic is founded I want to bring peace to it. Don't get me wrong, I'll have every head that dares to threaten my people...but I still want what is best for them."

He gestured to the sky, for a bit of emphasis. "Each person will have a chance to touch the stars." He said.

"But first, we have to destroy our enemies. Than we can create a society of order and prosperity." He took Anya by her waist, pulling her closer to him.

"A society our children will be proud of...and their children....and theirs." He continued.

"I have so many plans, you know? New ships, better soldiers, greater allies." A smile came to his face as the thought of a successful Republic came to him.

She looked up to him as she smiles, him describing what he wanted for the people made her feel proud to know and love such a man... being part of it all to be able to help him

everyone should have enough to at least fees themselves have enough money for things they want and a roof over their head...a vision most leaders only speak of but you adron...i know you'll do it...no matter how many who raises against our people...they dare to raise against you...i will fight off those that wish to see your vision destroyed

When she was pulled close she blushed at his next line, really the fact that they would have a child sometime maybe in the near future was...shocking to anya. But the fact they'd be raised better then her made her happy

we'll see to that the dream of this republic is made real...id love nothing more then to be by your side when that happens

She rubbed her belly feeling a little hungry as she smiled to him

so what's the plan for dinner?

 

[Adron Malvern]

Placing a hand on Anya's chin Adron would smile down to her happily. "I'll be able to do anything with you by my side. My love."

When Anya's hand took to her stomach the Count smiled before gesturing down the main row, to lead out of the gardens. "Well there are quite a few choices, but I had something particularly delectable in mind. Plus it should bring back old memories." He said, hosting a rather devious smile.

Leading them back onto the street it was a short walk before the two found themselves at a restaurant, the exterior seemed to be modeled in a replica of Theed's palace. "Nubian food is some of my favorite." He said, opening the door to the establishment. They were quickly ushered to a nice booth in the back of the restaurant, quiet and private.

A pair of wine glasses was brought to the table as Adron ordered a drink for them. "A red wine please, surprise me." He said. Sitting across from Anya he could not help but smile at her beauty. "We'll visit naboo again very soon." He reassured.

She couldn't say anything but smile at him as she brushed a few strands of hair out of her face.

She followed him put of the gardens, she glanced over to him seeing the devious smile as she could only smile big

oh really now? So far you've definitly chosen the best places to go...and I know the test will be better then the last

She watched the theed replica get closer as her eyes widened listening to him...nubian food like all its stuff was a art and the taste was always amazing. She sat across from him as she listened to him order some wine

She looked over at him and...she couldn't believe it he looked amazing beyond words...truely he honored his parents in looks and in his personality

I do hope so, I think visiting the tea shop again wpuld be nice...getting some of the tea you got this time

 

[Adron Malvern]

It did not take long for the waiter to arrive at the table, placing a few menu's down and supplying the table with an apparently large bottle of wine. After pouring the drinks she made her way out and left the two to look over the selection.

"Anya...Can I ask you a question? Do you ever worry you're.....fighting the wrong battles?" He said, his tone shifting to a more serious one.

"I don't know, I just...I love to help the people but I worry if I focus too much on any one aspect of government I'll fail the Republic. It's just a lot to consider. Economy, Trade, Foreign Relations, War, Peace. All of these things will ultimately be my responsibility. Of course i'll have a staff, the senate, and representatives but still....I worry I won't be able to handle it."

He would down a small sip of his wine before shaking the thought from his head. "But also....sometimes I worry if I don't, who will?"

S she tanked the man and took her glass stirring it a bit before taking a sip and listening to adron as she sighed

I do sometimes...bur I look at it this way, roads gonna be rough for me and I may not enjoy it at all...but in the end I'll see my results finished as I want

She placed a hand on his as she gave a soft calming smile

you have me and plenty of others who will help you when you can't

 

[Adron Malvern]

A smile came to his face as he heard Anya's supportive words, something about this woman never ceased to amaze. Glancing back down to the menu he looked over a few of the selections, finding more than one thing he thought would be good for the evening.

"Of course....when we have children that will become your responsibility. I couldn't have my wife out in danger while she is carrying out child." He said, a smile coming over his face as the image of Anya with a slight bump on her belly came to mind.

The waiter finally returned to the table, asking what the couple would like to eat, Adron gestured for Anya to go first before he placed his own order. "I'll have the spring salad and steak, medium rare please." After taking the orders the waiter would take the menu's and make his way back to the kitchen. Watching as the young man walk away Adron could not help but exhale a bit. "Still...I feel more comfortable with you by my side."

Running a hand over his chin Adron couldn't help but chuckle a bit. "I have only been Archlord for a few weeks but...I still hope my term is short. Since I won't be keeping this as a lifetime position I wonder what I'll do once it's over. Probably focus my efforts on Serenno again, I still feel like there is so much there that can be done." He said.

She saw that smile and couldn't help but smile herself, knowing she was helping him was amazing. She felt she needed to as this man had helped her and got her in this position she was and took her as his own...

well of course, I couldn't see myself fighting id probably just do light things around the manor or contiune running the company you have or...who knows we shall see when that crossroad hits

The idea if having another child was a bit...frightening say the least...her first had been done in a hospital or officially at all. So having another with adron she thought wpuld feel odd...but yet the thought also made her smile simply thinking of actual motherhood

She ordered a spicy chicken pasta with a salad as she looked over an listened

I know and I enjoy you by my side I feel more complete

She chuckled at his next words and nodded with a smile as she stretched a arm

all you can do is do what you have in your head then set it up so the next can take command easily, and as i said I'll be there through it all

 

[Adron Malvern]

It did not take long at all for the food to be brought to the table and served to the couple. As the plates were laid down in front of them Adron glanced out the window, taking in the streets of Carannia for himself. "I was thinking of creating a new government building in Carannia. The Hall of Counts, where the Counts of Serenno can meet and discuss the future of the planet." He considered.

Taking a napkin from the table he placed it over his lap before smiling over to Anya. "But I suppose there are more important things to see to. Most of The Dominion's planets have relied on wardens and military governor's. They'll have to be replaced with a planetary elected administration. Which is good, we're finally getting to the recovery of our worlds, but still it will be a pain."

Taking a bite of the salad in front of him Adron smiled at the fresh taste and crunchy lettuce that was introduced. "This is pretty good." He said, continuing his meal.

"So Anya, are there any things you've wanted to do but couldn't? I want to make your dreams come true." He said, a smile spreading over his face once again.

She watched as the food was laid out, she could definitly smell hers as it had that distinct pepper smell to it, she glanced out to the street as she nodded

hall of counts huh...sounds actually like a good idea and a perfect city for it as well.

She weighs din with her opinion as she put her napkin in her own lap giving a smile back and listening again.

slow and steady adron, theed wasn't built in a day and governments take just a little bit longer

She said and started on her salad enjoying the dressing they had put on along side the selection of vegetables as she nodded. She glance up at him when he asked and then down...could she ask for any more? She had a home food clothing money to spend a warm bed and someone to sleep with...really she couldn't think of anything

I don't know....youve given me everything I could...i really didn't dream of much when I had nothing and now...i have all I could want

She thought for a moment before something came to mind

maybe...personal armor or maybe a ship I guess
