| Putting on the shirt with a faint grimace, for it was not one of his best shirts, though it would work in this case, he breathed a sigh of relief, turning his head slightly from side to side to be able to pop his neck. "It's a suitable color, I suppose," he said agreeably. Normally he would have chosen black, but as he was rather fond of Ana, he would allow her pick of his shirt for the moment. "Then again, it's often been said that women have a far better sense of fashion than men."
As they departed the room, Stark glanced down at her with a very serious look for a moment. "Those clothes are mine. I often dress in women's clothing in my spare time." He gave it a brief pause; likely long enough to elicit a strange look from her before laughing again. "No, I jest with you, dear Ana. I had them brought when I knew you would be on board the vessel. Furthermore, some of them belong to one or another of the females on my Shadowguard; they were gifts to you as they have different tastes."

| Ana actually burst out laughing. "You would not do well in heels. I suppose that is what I get for teasing you. " She said softly after she calmed down some. "I appreciate the thought though. Everyone here has been welcoming and you....well...you're amazing." She admitted as they walked. "You're going to make it difficult for me to leave, I have a feeling. " Ana said as she rubbed his arm lightly
Ana sauntered along quietly for a while, keeping pace with him easily. "Thank you, again....for everything." Ana finally said as she stopped and looked up at him.

| "The longer you spend around me, the more you'll find I surround myself with pleasant people so that I might be able to keep a pleasant mindset." He considered her as he walked beside her. Ana was a good woman; he could tell that much from the short time he'd been around her. "Well then, if it is difficult for you to leave, then you're free to stay as long as you'd like. It would be a true shame to see you depart."
"And there's no need for thanks, Ana." He stopped next to her, looking down at her. "It's my pleasure to have you on board with me. If I didn't want you here, you wouldn't be here."

| Ana Riley did not have an impulsive bone in her body, or so she thought. Without really thinking about it, she pushed herself up on her toes some and met his lips with hers, very gently at first. It was totally out of character for her, for anyone that knew her well, and not many people did anymore. As she kissed him, she trailed her hands behind his neck and eventually her fingertips founds their way into his dark hair.
Finally though, she pulled back and looked up at him, her cheeks flushed. "I am...so sorry...."

| Stark was impulsive at times, in contrast to Ana, but he kissed her in return, arms sliding down around her waist to pull her close to him. As such, she may find it a tad difficult to pull back in the long run. "Don't apologize, Ana... I told you, I enjoy having you here with me. I enjoy your company. I... I want you to stay. I know you have a lot of ties to Naboo and Representative Vanden, but I'd very much like it if you agreed to stay. I know the Representative can always find another aide, or one who could work part-time..."
He knew he was babbling, and not having control of his speech was something that irked him, down inside somewhere, but he did like this woman, perhaps more than he should.

| Ana didn't move far, she couldn't gave even if she wanted to. Which she didn't. His words tumbled around in her mind for a moment and she smiled slightly. "He's not there much anyway...." She tried to rationalize out loud. It was kind of a huge step, but not one thing about it felt wrong at all.
Even she had no idea how he felt, she felt the same way. Maybe it was too soon, maybe it wasn't. There were many things she was unsure about. "And it is hard to get to know someone that long distance...isn't it? " she said, starting to ramble also.

| "It is hard, especially considering how long you'd remain on Naboo for work that Representative Vanden may need, and all the distances that I must travel, especially now that I may become interim senator of Lorrd. As you said... he's not there much anyway, and then it might be easier for him to get a replacement. At least with you with me, you could always offer good advice in the Senate."
He really was rambling now, and to cover it, he simply pulled her back against him and moved to kiss her again. Hopefully she'd agree to stay... hopefully she'd also agree to come to Lorrd. And from there... who could say?

| Ana felt his rambling was cute, and it gave alot away about the man. "I don't want to say no...." she managed to breathe out. But she knew she would need to find someone suitable herself, and she would.never leave Artemis with someone incompetent. She cared too much for him to do that, but she did not voice any of that to Alyn.
Instead, she let him kiss her again, returning the gesture with an equal passion and a somewhat hidden desire. It helped her also, and kept her mind from worrying about the future.

| When the kiss broke, what felt like long minutes later to Stark, he dropped his arms from around her to simply his hands resting at her waist, giving her the option to move back further if she wanted. "Then don't say no. That's all there is. It's something to sleep on, you know? Speaking of which, it is late. If you'd like, I'll have the chef send some of his ice cream to my room. There's tables in there," he was quick to add, realizing how the statement may have looked; not that he didn't want Ana, who was quite attractive, but a straightforward nature didn't always help things.
"It's rather up to you; if you'd like to sit and talk, as opposed to roaming the ship."

| She was quite flushed when he removed his arms from around her. "I didn't think tables were required for ice cream." She murmured., quite possibly more embarrassed than she was just moments ago. She simply nodded though, agreeing with what he suggested, though if she was honest with herself, she didn't care much about the ice cream at that very moment. And his innuendo did not bother her either, as she felt the same way.
"I guess it is good we hadn't gotten far." Ana said, starting back towards his room.

| Stark hadn't actually intended an innuendo; he'd thought the table might make for a good resting place for a bowl of ice cream, though ice cream was equally the last thing on his mind as he looked into her eyes. If anything, he could care less about the desert as he offered her his arm as they turned back towards his room. "Oh, I agree. Otherwise it would be such an awfully long walk back and that would be a true shame now, wouldn't it?" Embarrassment was obvious in her eyes and tone, but he felt nothing of the same. He wanted her and it was a natural emotion to go with; attraction, that was.

| Ana walked along with Alyn quietly and once they were back behind closed doors, she glanced to him. "Maybe we should...I'm thinking....forget the ice cream? "She said as she reached beside the door and summed the lights slightly, hoping that was ok. She was feeling pretty confident anyway, so why not.
"Now, Mr. Stark...we should do something about that shirt you made such a horrible face at when I picked it out for you." She smirked.

| "Now there's an amazing idea!" Stark exclaimed with a short laugh. "Ice cream might be nice later on, but at the moment, I find the conversation too... ah... fascinating to allow it to be broken up by ice cream." The dimmed lights were hardly an issue, as he still met her stare for stare. "Another good idea, Miss Riley, let me get right on fixing that and then we can continue our discussion."
The shirt hit the floor next to him as he moved forward with barely a whisper of sound, arms coming to rest about her again. "Now what were you saying?"

| "I thought it was a perfectly lovely shirt." She pouted playfully as he discarded the garment. When he pulled her close again, Ana looked up at him and smiled a little. "I don't believe I was saying anything, actually." Ana said as her fingertips lightly danced across his flesh.
She leaned up to kiss him again, but stopped just short. "I will come to Lorrd with you...but you need to come to Naboo with me and advise Artemis of your intentions...." Ana whispered.

| He suppressed a short laugh as she spoke of how lovely the shirt was. "Oh, perhaps a lovely enough shirt... but quite the wrong color to what I prefer. Blacks, blues, greens and on occasion, a silver. I'm not much for the normal greys." Leaning down to kiss her in turn, he tightened his hands about her waist for a moment, waiting until the kiss was done before nuzzling against her throat for a moment prior to brushing his lips against her ear. "Then I will be happy to come to Naboo and speak with Representative Vanden. Send him a message in the morning, and we will leave for Lorrd by midday."
Shuffling slightly towards one side, he would lead her towards the back room, where he slept.
