She looked up at him, and then played the message on the speaker so he heard it too. The man perked an eyebrow, as he didn't understand what it meant. "Get a personal ship...we're leaving." She murmured. Her heart fluttered a little as she allowed to help her off of the floor where she had been sitting. As he left, confused, but with orders, she dashed off to her bedroom and dressed and packed, though doing both at the same time was proving to be a complete mess.

Into the case she threw clothes, and then she finally oriented herself in a silk gown that was a stunning cobalt blue shade. Nimbled fingers laced the tightly corseted bodice and then she slipped on shoes. The guard would arrive moments later to take her bag, and at the moment she was rifling through her jewelry box. Finally, as he waited for her, she located the slender platinum band that she hadn't worn in so many years and slid it easily onto her finger. It should have never left there in the first place.

"I'll send messages once we're off planet..." She told him as she grabbed her datapad and work case on her way out of the condo to meet the ship, which wasn't far. Ilanah felt that if she needed to get away, it was what she needed, and she did. Her job could still be done even if she was somewhere else in the galaxy. It didn't matter.

Within an hour of the receipt of the message, her guard had her settled on board of a comfortable ship and he was setting her specified coordinates. And as they left Coruscant, she took the time to send a message to Tremaine to let him know that she was doing some work off planet and she would contact him soon about important matters. And then, she waited, impatiently.

Before he had even set the ship down on the landing pad, Ilanah had given him instruction that he had to take the ship elsewhere on the planet and hide it and that she would be fine. He was reluctant of course, but had no room to argue. Instead, he helped her with her bag and off of the ship before he left her standing in front of that villa.

Ilanah drew in a small breath,and then let out a light sigh as she looked up at the home. it was quiet and beautiful, and perfect for what they needed.

As she arrived, he stood there, watching her from the top balcony. His cloak flowed with the small gusts of wind that blew in from the hills that surrounded this serene villa. The lake nearby glistened in the sun light as it began to set for the day. If she were to look up, she would notice his dark eyes looking down at her from a few stories above.

Ilanah wandered through the halls, remembering the place piece by piece. She hadn't really thought about what she was going to say to him yet, or how she was going to apologize to him. Half of her expected him not to forgive her. But she hoped that he would. Finally, she stopped in an empty doorway, her gaze on the back of a dark cloaked figure on the balcony.

"Kal...."

She rested her head on his chest, breathing in his scent as she forced herself not to shed anymore tears. Her emotions were all over the place, however. "I asked too much of you....I should have just....when I realized you were just you we should have just come back here and started over. I was wrong and I am so sorry...." She murmured,her voice cracking a bit.

"I'll understand if you can't forgive me, but Kal, I just....want us to be us. You said you would do anything, and so will I."

"I've fallen, Lana. Farther than I've been...and I couldn't stop it. The pain and suffering I've endured has affected me, and a part of me inside that likes it. It likes the fact that I've got the power to go anywhere, do anything, and get anything. The power I have is intoxicating and I don't know if that part of me inside would give it away..."

Ilanah rested her palms on his chest lightly, her fingertips rubbing the black fabric of his shirt lightly. For several moments, she didn't look at him. "I realized when you were away..." She paused. "I still love you. I need you. You need me." She said as she tried not to think about what he must have gone through. This was not exactly what she had hoped would happen here, but part of her had expected this anger.

"I wish I could tell you how I feel...I don't think I can...." There weren't words.

"It was selfish....I wanted to have you close...that was the only way I could think of without having to leave Coruscant. Heh. Not a very well thought out plan on my part. You should have told me it was a stupid idea." She smiled a little as she looked up at the man. Idly, she reached up and rested her left hand on his cheek, then traced her thumb lightly over his jaw line and then his lips before she let out a low sigh. The cool metal of the ring on her left finger would brush lightly against his warm skin also.

"None of that matters right now, does it?" Ilanah said as she turned back to face him, leaving the sunset and the balcony behind her. "All that matters to me is that you're alive and here." She offered a small smile. Her thoughts turned first to Adoven, who was who knows where recruiting, and Tremaine, who was still on Coruscant working. The thought occurred to her right then that she just needed to be honest with him, even if it killed her.

"You're the only person I trust, Kal. I need a guardian. I am afraid of what is happening in this Galaxy." A moment later she would add. "There are those out there that want to stop it...."
