A Familial Eve (ME/NR)

[Yasha Cadera]

Vanquo
Cadera Estate

Yasha stood at the entrance to the Estate on Vanquo’s Lake Adara, watching the construction crew continue to build the out buildings and expansive estate. Aunt Peggy oversaw the entire escapade, transplanting the Westralis Estate out of enemy space and meticulously transplanting it to Vanquo.

Never you mind, Yasha! I got it! She said, pushing aside her sister Aditya from the blueprints and modifications. Sisters bickered like sisters, even after a double resurrection. Yasha sighed into her hot mug of stim caf, waiting for the others to arrive.

Family time was rare in the Infernal’s life. Such a rare occurrence that even her grandfather Girak gave his crew Leave just so he could arrive. Cousins and grandparents rescued from Panatha settled in, Girak’s husband Hector lending whatever hand he could, and wife Ada hurtled herself into meddling with the children. The brutes, or so she called them.

Ada and Aditya already made use of the training circle out back, Aditya breaking her mother’s nose on three separate occasions in a week. Family, Panathan style.

Even Adara was scheduled to arrive, home from boarding school. Would Aunt Kay arrive, yet? Had Ambrose rescued her? It would be a fantastic day. Yasha returned into the main house, to check on Alex and Noah, and their stim caf levels. [member="Caz Australis"] was also inside, her wife was the stability in Yasha’s years. Kind, Noble and healing, Caz was the light Yasha could fathom and to say she loved her was too small a measure of Yasha’s affection. Hopefully Caz’ika was inside sipping another warm mug of tea, or finishing up some other kind of busy work.

“I know it’s not done yet, but hey, home. A home outside the Sundari Palace, anyway. How was your flight in? Are you tired? I’m sorry all the bedrooms aren’t ready. The kids will have to camp out here in the main room tonight.”

OOC: Open to all Clan Cadera/family & Clan Corek/Feanor

 

[Neyana]

Well, out of all of the people who shows up, Nicole might have been the only newest addition to this little gathering of sorts. Before this travel, she had some talks with Alex, and after that long night of debates, Nicole finally gave in and moved on to join her sister in this gathering of sorts. Well, it did give Sarah something to do and she did want to spend more time with her family. The Echani stood in front of Alex as everyone else around here is too damn tall and would hinder her view. Why was she the shortest?

No matter, her gaze met the rather tall woman and she bluntly decided to speak without thinking. "Wow you are a giant." She's probably going to get an ear full for that statement, but hey at Nicole's height it might be true. "Ehm, I mean. Hello." And she moved a hand to slightly wave at her.

 

[Gaia Sunaris Cadera]

Beth sat on a stool in the kitchen as she watched the constructions crews outside the window. In her hand was a warm cup of Sapir tea. The estate had been packed with the stuff, especially with the hope that [member="Kay Arenais"] might be rescued soon. And… In truth, Beth was beginning to really like it. Beth used her free hand, elbow on the table, to hold her head.

Beth hair was down, mostly straight minus the natural curls towards the ends. A simple blue dress. Casual was the way to go, today. At least, based off how she woke up that morning.

Any minute now the rest of the family should show up - [member="Alexandra Feanor"], [member="Noah Corek"], and their lot. And then all of the Mandalorians and their lot. Man, she had a huge family. Another sip of the tea as she thought about [member="Aditya Fitz Kierke"] and her sister, Peggy. Even the great-grandparents were here – Ada, Papa, and Hector.

Beth rubbed tired eyes as she checked the clock on the wall. Any minute. She really couldn’t wait to see [member="Adara Raxis"], though. It had been much too long since she last saw her little sister. Between running around with school, the NR, and the Clans, Beth’s spare time had been reduced to almost nothing. On the table in front of her was a datapad on the Twi’lek gastrointestinal system. She sighed, at least she would be finished soon. Soon didn’t mean much, when it felt like forever away, though.

She turned the datapad off as she stood, tea in hand, and began to walk towards where the others should be arriving. Really, she couldn’t wait. She loved finally getting sometime with her friends and family.

 

[Caz Australis]

Caz sat crosslegged on a cushion on the floor in a beam of sunlight as she sipped her tea and listened to the quiet around her. Yasha had made this home as comfortable for Caz as the Australis homestead was. She relished the warmth of the sun on her bare feet as she wiggled her toes. Mindfulness was something that Caz felt important and practiced often. Their life was chaotic at best. Caz balanced that with her magic, her peaceful demeanor and her insistence on taking time to enjoy the little things in life.

There will still a few people in her world that didn't understand her relationship with Yasha and Kaine. Some thought it was wrong, even. But Caz, and her partners knew that their life was the best life for them. They practiced compassion, understanding, transparent communication and each day set their egos aside knowing they were on the same team. They loved each other and all of the children fiercely and refused to let the nay-sayers shed negative light on them.

Caz finished the last sip of her tea and then studied the leaves for a few moments.... she smiled at what they told her. She stood and stretched like a cat, and padded her way through the house to find Yasha and have a little time before the others arrived.


[member="Yasha Cadera"]

 

[Adara Raxis]

The shuttle which touched down was pristine, matte black, and near silent. It pressed upon the shuttle pad like an aristocratic raptor, beak up to release its' precious cargo. Adara stepped off, four of her Militibus ex Infernis guards and two black robed figures following behind her. The black and burgundy robed women were silent, and walked with the skills of trained Handmaidens.

At her feet, the ground uneven, Adara sighed and raised up in a three inch levitation, and floated to the front door, where her mother sipped on her stimcaf.

"Buir! Oh, Buir I made it! I'm home!" The child threw her arms around her mother's neck, after watching [member="Nicole Sarah Feanor"] gaze up, up, up and call her mother a giant. Well, she wasn't wrong.

"My name is Adara, who might you be?" Adara asked the new addition, offering information in exchange, but bluntly guarding herself until she heard the answer. Once satisfied, Adara smiled and trotted into the house, stopping first to remove her shoes as the two Handmaidens untied Adara's woollen travelling coat and unpinned the child's hat, before preening her dress and putting her overcoat away. Hair tumbling down her back in lazy curls, Adara's mismatched red and blue eyes shone in what appeared to be a healthy sheen. There was a liveliness to Yasha's daughter which was foreign on Manda'yaim. She trotted in her stocking feet to to [member="Caz Australis"] and swung open her arms.

"Mama Caz! Oh, Mama, you're here! I was hoping you would be. How are Lov and Lam!? Is Lam in terrible mischief, yet?" The girl hopped up on her tip toes for a hug, one of many she needed if she was honest with herself. Boarding School was such a chore, when one missed their families. A blur flashed behind Caz, the incoming flurry of Reyn "Ram'ika" Australis-Cadera to rush after his sister.

"ADAAAAAAAAARRAAAAAAA!"

[member="Beth Cadera"]

 

[Gaia Sunaris Cadera]

Cassiopeia peeked into the oven for the hundredth time. It was the first time she had made this specific cake – the Hummingbird cake. It looked delicious, at least per the recipes. But, most importantly, she had to do it right. There were a million kids here, including her own. Who happened to be slightly reclusive, sitting at a small table and tinkering with some type of contraption.

Cassiopeia gave her a smile as she wiped her hands on the apron out of habit. Underneath the apron was a simple white top and a skirt. Hopefully, she wouldn’t get any of the ingredients on her outfit. She hoped, though, that the variety of cooking and baked goods would be well worth the wait. She took a moment to glance at Beth, who seemed lost in her own world. Education was rough, but the girl was smart. She excelled in her class. [member="Yasha Cadera"] should be proud. Not only of Beth, but all her children. They were prodigies. Smart, powerful. Strong.

She walked over to Lily. “Hey, honey. Want to go play with the other kids? Adara should be here, soon, too.” She used her hand to brush some of Lily’s hair out of her face. Lily seemed content with that and ran off to the other kids. “Go on, Beth. You know you’ll want to see Adara the minute she gets here,” she said as she finally hanged up her apron. In the meantime, she began to fix a large pot of tea with enough cups to provide to the guests.

Bah, she should get a hobby outside of the kitchen.

 

[Loreena Arenais-Valhoun]

Lori was doing her best to be sneaky. She had gotten the invitation and of course did her best to arrive quickly. Yet she wanted it to be a surprise.

Many had already arrived. And one would think that that would make her sneaking impossible! But no! Lori was trained in this.

She didn't try to hide herself after parking her training fighter near the shuttle that [member="Adara Raxis"] arrived in. Nope! It wasn't until after she had stepped inside of the estate that was still under construction, that Lori took the initiative.

Slinking up against the walls, she moved quietly and hid herself behind a curtain. There were cousins here that she knew and loved, [member="Yasha Cadera"], Adara and [member="Beth Cadera"] among them. Now if only they'd come closer so that she could jump on them....or at the very least in front of them. The thought of bursting out a SURPRISE nearly made her giggle-snort. But she had to keep quiet.


Shhhhh....

 

[Darlyn Excron]

Family.

Darlyn sighed and ran a hand through his hair as he paced the shuttle's exit ramp, waiting for the thing to land on Vanquo down below. Darlyn had received the invitation to come visit, and he'd be poor sport to ignore it. Which is why he was waiting patiently for the shuttle to make landfall, and get off onto solid ground. It wasn't exactly common knowledge Darlyn was by all measures family here, he never advertised it though he never lied about it either. So it was very probable that he would be turning heads if anyone he knew outside of this meeting happened to be there.

When at last the ship touched down, and the ramp lowered for the red maned man to walk down. He wasted no time doing so, thankful at least that his new suit was quite comfortable. Unlike the charcoal suit he had for more, business days, the one he had now was more than comfortable enough to wear somewhat casually. And still able to hide his flask of whiskey, a godsend that was. His blaster and personal lightsaber were hidden as well, seeing as he had no reason to be ready for combat, but when you were visiting Mandalorians it was best to be at least semi ready for a friendly brawl or two, or twenty.

Ignoring that, however, the place was pleasant. Also ignoring the construction for that statement. Not at all a bad place to be... the Darksider smiled a bit as he made his way to the estate. Peaceful, quiet. It was nice honestly, maybe he'd needed time away from Commenor more than he expected. Not that he was free of everything, but a moment of levity would be nice. In regards to that, he looked around until he spotted Yasha, the mountain of a woman, and wasted no time walking up to her, and somehow managing to get a hand on her shoulder with a smirk. "Su cuy'gar, vabi'r." He hated the implication he was old, but he'd never pass the chance to teasingly call the Mand'alor 'niece'. It was too funny.

He also quickly let go, so she didn't have an excuse to throw him through a wall and actually start something. Something fun, but not the right time. "I'm guessing I've got more introductions to make eh?"

[Adenn Kyramud]

A family gathering, meant for those within a specific clan, and those part of said clan and family. Yet somehow, Adenn had managed to get himself invited to a family gathering of Clan Cadera and close co. The invitation he had gotten, it was from none other than [member="Aditya Fitz Kierke"], the Mand'alors mother.

The estate for Cadera was impressive, but still under construction. Thus, it was rife for other entrances. However, Adenn was not here for that, he had been invited, and he would enter the way an invited guest would, through the front entrance. That was also where the problem lay, [member="Yasha Cadera"], the Mand'alor, stood by the entrance. While Adenn was no means afraid or intimidated of her, he knew it would be awkward for him, and thus for her. He, an outsider of Cadera, had been invited here, and by the Mand'alors mothers. For Mandas sake, that was as awkward as it got.

Thankfully though, [member="Nicole Sarah Feanor"] and [member="Darlyn Excron"] where there as well. Adenn then sighed to himself, he'd best get this out of the way now. To prevent any awkwardness later, or at least lessen it. With that in mind, Adenn made his way towards the front entrance, and where they were standing. As he approached, he was in full view of them. And what a view. They'd see a fully armed and armored Mandalorian with a cloak over his left shoulder with Clan Mortuis symbol on it. On his back was a jetpack and a beskad, on his hips 2 westar 35 pistols, on his belt his lightsaber, and several other weapons(in BIO).

It took a few moments for him to get to them, but when he did, Adenn greeted them.
"Su cuy'gar vod." Looking around then, Adenn noticed that they were mostly, if not all, somehow part of Cadera and co. Chuckling dryly, Adenn spoke before any questions for his presence could be asked. "Before you ask, I was invited here, and I didn't want to be rude, so I came." Adenn laughed dryly, almost humorlessly. "Unless I should leave Mand'alor, it is a family gathering for you. And I am no Cadera." He didn't mean the last part as an insult, merely as a statement of fact. Then he looked at them quizzically, awaiting an answer. If they didn't wish for an outsider to be there, then he didn't wish to intrude.

[member="Darlyn Excron"] [member="Loreena Arenais"] [member="Cassiopeia Caranthyr"] [member="Adara Raxis"] [member="Caz Australis"] [member="Beth Cadera"] [member="Nicole Sarah Feanor"] [member="Yasha Cadera"]

 

[Mandalorian Prophet]

Who had two blue thumbs and surely stood out? This guy. Cleru had been taken away from his family at a young age for the betterment of his people, which he didn't resent. Because of that he had been able to help a great number of Chiss that well. He didn't actually know. So when [member="Beth Cadera"] invited him to meet the family, he was eager to participate. See what family life was like.

He had no idea there'd be this many people though.

Red eyes glanced about nervously as he took in just the sheer number of people he was seeing walk around. There were of course Houses with his people, but the consisted of several families, none of which were this large. So he stood next to the entrance, dressed in simple clothing, just waiting to see at least one person he might recognize.

 

[Noah Corek]

[member="Yasha Cadera"] - [member="Nicole Sarah Feanor"] - [member="Beth Cadera"] - [member="Caz Australis"] - [member="Adara Raxis"] - [member="Cassiopeia Caranthyr"] - [member="Loreena Arenais"] - [member="Darlyn Excron"] - [member="Adenn Kyramud"] - [member="Cleru"]

If you had told Noah Corek twenty years ago that at this stage in his life he would be at the Mand'alor's estate sitting next to his redheaded Jedi wife while sipping stimcaf that he had 'sweetened' with Corellian whiskey he had 'found' while he bounced his three year old son on his knee, he would have probably called you crazy......and then shot you for wasting his time. But now here he was, in the exact aforementioned situation. Junior was currently playing some game on his datapad, a learning game though let no one say that Noah Corek didn't value child development.

Noah smiled as soon as Yasha entered the room and chuckled when she began to speak. "Even in it's unfinished state it is a great home and will be a great place to raise the little ones. Speaking of which, Junior don't you have something to give your ba'vodu Yasha?" Junior looked up at his father with his wide green eyes before smiling, hopping down from his fathers lap and rushing over to his aunt and wrapping her legs in a hug. After untangling himself he pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it, a bit awkwardly with his smaller fingers.

After Junior opened the paper he grabbed both ends and shoved it up towards his aunt. The picture was a crudely drawn family portrait of everyone he had ever met from both the Corek, Feanor and Cadera family. Once Yasha would take the picture Junior rushed back to his father, thrusting his arms upward to indicate he wanted to be let back onto his fathers lap. Junior often uses gestures, movements and actions instead of words, he could talk he just choose not to sometimes.

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

[member="Noah Corek"] and [member="Yasha Cadera"] were nearby, with [member="Nicole Sarah Feanor"] commenting on Yasha's height with zero hesitation.

Things had certainly changed as she sat there with a smile on her face and Morgan sitting beside her and in her arms as she ran her hand through Morgan's hair, the little girl playing with some toy that held her focus. It was some simple wooden toy, a weird thing to see but Alexandra had made it for her daughter and she smiled to see Morgan using it. Her eyes were drawn away though when Yasha started to speak, her own lips parting to finish the thought that Noah had started. Morgan didn't have anything but Alex knew the girl kept looking at Yasha, a smile on the little one's face every time.

"Like Noah said, even unfinished your home is wonderful Yasha, as for camping out, that wont be too bad for our kids, do try to remember where me and Noah live. Our home is in the middle of a forest." She smiled and let Morgan get up as the little one walked over and reached up to give Yasha the wooden toy,

Alex herself remained sitting, smiling and grabbing at the cup with some tea in it. She wasn't much of a stimcaf drinker herself, not liking the way it sped up her heart and not liking how she felt after it stopped. It was a crash made worse by her biology and she had to be careful with most things as anything that affected her in an ill way caused her more issues than it was worth. These days she just smiled, tended to her garden or worked on projects and favors she owed. None of what she did in recent years were of her own volition.

And still this was a change of course for that, being around a group of people she owed nothing to, and just smiling at nothing in particular.

Sarah did provide some humor to the situation, quickly talking about how Yasha was a giant and making Alex giggle a small bit, something else she did not get to do often. So much so that her hand came to her mouth out of pure reaction, finding the sound wrong at first before remembering it was just a laugh. Daeda began working at the inside of her mind as slivers slipped out from the depths, Hel still crawling around inside, always there no matter what people do to get rid of her.

Alex was the reason for that though, unable to ignore and dispel that dark half of her that she had cleaved from her own soul some half a century ago.

"Noah and I would love to meet more of your family Yasha."

 

[Yasha Cadera]

"A giant!?" Who was this, again? Nobody but [member="Alexandra Feanor"] 's sister could be so bold with an immediate response. Yasha's lips, which were poised over her mug of stim-can looked down, down, down to the girl and grinned with a snorting laugh. "Yes, I'm a giant. Hope you don't mind. Welcome, [member="Nicole Sarah Feanor"] . Ale'ika, Noa'ik and the kids're... Right here. Come on in. And Adara, my daughter, was going to be much more polite next time she meets someone in our home, correct, little girl?"

[member="Darlyn Excron"] meandered over, his spiffy suit a sight of delight for Yasha's eyes. The Mand'alor grinned even deeper, setting her mug down on the landing and opening her arms. "Oh, Ba'vodu! How gracious for you, at your advanced age, to come to our gathering today! QUICK! We shall get you to a rocking chair." Knowing she would pay for that later, Yasha went to walk inside and give her wife [member="Caz Australis"] a warm and delighted kiss.

"My beautiful c'yare. Are you ready Fo--ooh!" Yasha deked to the side as Reyn came flying down the hall, launching at his sister Adara. One always had to be on their toes in the Cadera house. Another proximity chime had Yasha turning around. The moment [member="Adenn Kyramud"] arrived, a cantankerous sound peppered the stairs. Aditya, in a soft purple dress floating around her knees, slid to the door.

"Mine! He's mine! Yasha, you let him in, he's m-Adenn? You're awful blue in the fa-oh. Beth! Your blue boy's here! The one you snogged at the Chiss party!" Aditya could not have been louder if she was commanding a battlefield over suppression fire.

"Ah... Bethany Daughter Cadera!? You going to explain to me wh-ah... Come in, both of you, any friend of my mother and my daughter are friends of ours, as long as I don't have to track you down later and charge you litres of blood for every tear." [member="Beth Cadera"] was going to spill, oh yes... She would.

"Hey, you didn't trip fall and die on the way here... Looking good, Bucket." Aditya pulled her braided hair behind her ear, taking Adenn's hand and tugging him into the house, as Yasha muttered an 'oh boy, here we go' behind her head. "Come! Come, come, come, there's a place to put your helmet down, right over here."

Yasha wove around her mother's attempt at foreplay with a shake of her head. She could have sworn she saw Tuulu and [member="Loreena Arenais"] around the halls, didn't they? "Has anyone seen my stim caf?"

Dekeing around Beth, Yasha offered Darlyn a seat, and ventured in to see Alex and [member="Noah Corek"] sitting on the couch with their two children. Tugging her arm around Caz's waist, Yasha softened as Noah Junior toddled over with a drawn picture in his chubby hands.

"Junior? Well thank you, little Mando. Awww, did you draw this for me?" Yasha picked him up with one arm, bringing him up for a kiss to his cheek, before setting him back down. "I love you, too my little buddy. Go on! Back to your Buir'e... Caz, have you seen my stim caf? I swear I put it down just over there... Does anyone need anything to drink? There's stim caf, tea and juice in the kitchen!"

Voices peppered around her house, likely footfalls and the chatter of family and friends. This was to be an excellent and wonderful day.

 

[Gaia Sunaris Cadera]

Beth took another sip of the tea in her hand as she walked towards the entrance. Low and behold, she nearly ran into [member="Caz Australis"]! “Caz! Hey,” she said with a smile as she made her way to [member="Yasha Cadera"], [member="Noah Corek"], and [member="Alexandra Feanor"] and their little tater tots. She was sure [member="Loreena Arenais"] was going to show up, though… She wasn’t sure why she was sure she would. Wonder if she got delayed?

Nonetheless, Beth continued to meander towards the entrance. “Ram’ika!” She yelled as he nearly ran her over in getting to [member="Adara Raxis"]. Well, Adara was definitely here. “Adaraaa! Ram incoming, 11 o’clock.” Was it 11’clock? Whatever, Adara would figure it out. And hear it from a mile away, anyway. She placed her cup of tea on a cabinet as she rounded the corner – only to hear Aditya scream something about him being mine. And then… Blue boy? Her blue boy? Beth’s eyes widened, her ears went straight up, and all the energy she didn’t have suddenly rushed into her with very pink cheeks. First of all, why in the Gods name would she do that?

And secondly, and perhaps most importantly, he came! Beth power walked to the entrance as [member="Darlyn Excron"] and [member="Adenn Kyramud"] were invited in. Of course, he came – why wouldn’t he have?

She gave a huge, excited grin to [member="Cleru"] the minute she saw him standing outside the entrance. Beth may have nearly knocked Yasha out of her way like Ram did. Poor Cleru, though, he looked very… Out of place, and awkward, but… He just hadn’t been introduced yet. “Cleru, I'm glad you came,” she said softly as she ran over to give him a tight hug. She almost went for a kiss, but realizing her family was right there she stopped herself. Perhaps it was a little too early to show that kind of affection in front of them. Whatever, anyway.

After the hug, her eyes widened slightly as she shyly waved for him to come into the building so she could do a proper introduction to her extremely, ridiculously large family. “Buir, this is Cleru from the Ascendancy. We met at the Masquerade,” she said with a big grin. “Cleru, this is… My family.” Well... Most of her family. One was missing, but... She hadn't really talked to him much, anyway.

 

[Neyana]

She continues to stare at [member="Yasha Cadera"] and generally walks closer towards her to get a 'better' view on how tall she was compared to herself. Yup. Definitely a giant. Her rather nervous glance turned to a mean one at the snickering by both Yasha as well as her own sister! "That's not funny!" She exclaimed turning over to stare at [member="Alexandra Feanor"] as well as [member="Noah Corek"]. "You try seeing the world at my size. I bet it's not that great."

After her little outburst, a sigh escapes those lips and she turned to gave a nod back to Yasha. "Yes, I'm Nicole, and you must be Yasha. If you don't mind, I do have a question to ask later." Her gaze meets the others around the scene, [member="Beth Cadera"] and her outburst towards Adara and [member="Cleru"], [member="Darlyn Excron"] as well as [member="Adenn Kyramud"]'s entrance, and then [member="Caz Australis"]. "As, you might be a tad busy right now and its not that important."

Her gaze soon turned to [member="Adara Raxis"] and she gave a small nod to her. "I'm Nicole, Alex's younger sister. Nice to meet you." Though by how hectic the scene currently is, Nicole isn't going to expect much else of a response and just goes over to depart from the group to stand somewhere else probably to watch everything from afar.

Why did she feel like some-kind of outcast here?

 

[Mandalorian Prophet]

Cleru smiled brightly as soon as [member="Beth Cadera"] came into view. A friendly face among the strangers. He returned the hug, but unlike Beth he went right for the kiss. He wasn't sure if that was appropriate or not, but seeing her again.. Well. He couldn't not. It was a brief embrace before the Chiss broke away, still smiling. "It's good to see you again Beth." He then followed her into the main room, his eyes wide as he glanced to all the people.

There really were a lot of folks here.

He laughed nervously at [member="Yasha Cadera"] 's threat. There was no doubt in his mind that Manda'lor would indeed make good on it. "I don't have any intention of it."

 

[Adenn Kyramud]

Adenn heard the tale end of what Yasha said to the girl, and he couldn’t help but shake his head. Then he snorted about her comment to [member="Darlyn Excron"], he certainly looked the part. Before Adenn could say anything, he heard a loud cantankerous sound from the what might have been the stairs area.

A few seconds later Adenn saw Aditya round the corner in a purple dress. She was yelling loudly, as loudly as Adenn had only so far heard on the battlefield. She was also shouting something about “Mine. He’s mine.” Adenn wondered if she meant him before she was suddenly talking about Cleru, that Chiss that had been flirting with Beth at the ball.

Adenn snorted to himself at the thought, Aditya thought he was the Chiss for a moment. And then she yelled down the house about Cleru being snogged at the ball. Shaking his head to himself, Adenn was about to speak. Then the Mand’alor said that he’d be charged in blood for every tear he caused, should he cause any, and Adenn shut his mouth. A Mandalorian always kept their promise after all, and Adenn very much liked his blood right where it was. But then [member="Beth Cadera"] and [member="Cleru"] met. While Beth was rather subdued in her reaction, Cleru wasn't. He full on kissed her, and in front of her very family, Adenn excluded. Not being able to help himself, Adenn spoke then.
"Get a room you two, and don't forget protection."

Then Aditya tucked her hair behind her ear and grabbed his hand. She said something about him looking good, so Adenn replied in turn.
“I won’t die of a mere fall. You look good as well Aditya.” He said slightly tentatively. Adenn was rather at a loss of words, he certainly hadn’t expected this from the Cadera family.

Before he could do anything, speak with anyone, or so much as blink, he was being dragged away. Adenn heard the Mand’alor go “here we go again” before he was gone. Blinking in surprise, Adenn was very confused then, where and how had something like this happened before? And then Aditya said he should take his helmet off and place it over somewhere. Shaking his head, Adenn spoke up then.
“Uh, Aditya, it’s good to see you and all but.” He shrugged then. “This is all rather sudden. How about…”

Adenn stopped short then, still holding her hand, they’d already entered the house and were slightly away from everyone else. He turned towards Aditya then, tilting his head sideways then.
“How’ve you been Aditya? How’s life, what’ve you been up to. Etcetera.” Adenn chuckled to himself then, he had just noticed the part she said about him taking his helmet off. “Take off my helmet? Hm, have you earned that privilege yet?” He poked her nose in amusement, and then let out a chuckle.

[member="Yasha Cadera"] [member="Aditya Fitz Kierke"]

 

[Loreena Arenais-Valhoun]

Well she wasn't expecting [member="Darlyn Excron"] to be here! Yet here he was! Even with all the chatter going on from everyone else, she picked up on his voice easily.

And so she had foregone her original plan of jumping out at her cousins and instead, just stuck her hands in her pockets and strolled out from her hiding spot as if she was taking a walk in the park.

Lori made her way over to her Uncle and grinned up at him. "I love your suit!
That colour is perfect!" No doubt her boyfriend [member="Zeke Tune"] could wear that colour too. She'd have to ask him if he had a purple suit one day. The man had a plethora of suits.

"How goes it?" Lori hadn't been home on Commenor for a bit. She was busy paying off her debt which had finally been done! Of course she was working on Jedi training with her Dad as well. Although she wasn't studying that as much as he'd like, she was certain.

 

[Darlyn Excron]

She would pay for it later.

He would be certain of it.

But regardless of future payment plans he had in store, he wasn't one to turn down a free seat. He was frankly just delighted Yasha didn't decide to try and throw him through a window, it was probably at least partly because of the recent construction. So when it was given, regardless of circumstance he was only too happy to sit down and relieve his aching feet. No sooner than he had started taking the seat however, was he watching [member="Loreena Arenais"] walk up to him. Of course it made sense, she was Mandalorian by family, so it was perfectly logical. He'd simply forgotten, which made his genuine smile at her all the more unexpected. "If it ain't the little lass, thanks for your kind words. Thought it would go well with the promotions going around it seems."

Fully seated, he rested his head on one of his hands, and considered what to say. "It goes well enough. Commenor's had a bit of a political reversal you know, back to a republic and all that. Having to setup the House to fill its new role, new ministers, promotions here there, left and right... A bit chaotic you could say. But I can't really complain, I have a vastly better living space nowadays. I'm more interrested in what's going on with you, the little twerp who doesn't send her best uncle any holomail to keep him up to date." He gave a small laugh and wink at her, just in case she was concerned he was actually upset. "How have you been?"

[Loreena Arenais-Valhoun]

Well Lori hadn't had any promotions. If anything, she's had a demotion now that she was no longer a Princess, no longer holding any type of potential authority over a planet and it's people. Instead she was just the same ol' goofball Lori with no title hanging over her head. Other than Captain, that is.

She nodded some as she listened to the changes that Commenor was experiencing. Did [member="Darlyn Excron"] feel overwhelmed yet? Lori was certain that her Mom did when she was President. It made her also wonder how much tea or alcohol Darlyn has consumed now. Did the smount increase? Surely her Mom's tea addiction only grew in order to help her handle the stress.

"Sorry Uncle Darlyn...I've been fine. Just sorta going from one place to the next.
I paid off my debt, so now I'm home free. I'll still be working to pay for my crew and maintaining my ship, though. And when I can, I train with my Dad." When she's not spending tine with her boyfriend, that is. She wondered what Darlyn thought about Zeke. He didn't really say when they were all at the Estate. Lori already knew that her Dad didn't really approve....
