| Ana listened to him quietly, then sat herself up on the balcony railing as he finished speaking. "Family, huh?" She murmured as she rested her hands flat on the railing, to keep herself steady. They hadn't discussed that yet, of course, but she had assumed he wanted a family. Then again with the little she knew of Alyn's father, maybe he didn't.
"So....did you pick a date?" she finally asked, regarding their wedding. "Since everyone knows how....we'll need a date."

| True, they hadn't discussed a family yet, but Stark assumed it would come with time. It was a rather natural occurrence, after all. Stark, however, had taken care not to speak of his father to many people at all. "I wished to speak of you about the date; I figured we should pick it together."

| Ana motioned to her datapad, so that he could hand it to her. If he would, she would scroll through the dates in the calender. "How's tomorrow sound for you? Busy at all?" She said, nonchalantly. "Or next Tuesday." Ana finally looked up, and there was a smirk on her face. It was more than clear that she was joking with him. She was sure that it would take far longer than even next Tuesday for whomever Alyn hired to plan such a thing. It seemed that it would be a huge celebration after all, not just for them either, but the entire Province, should they care to be involved.
"Can you tell that I could be decidedly unhelpful here?" Ana smiled warmly as she teased further. "Tell me, then, what dates were you thinking, my love?" She offered him the datapad.

| Stark laughed as she made her jests. "I wouldn't say unhelpful, my love. I was considering within the next three months. That will give the multitude of planners time to work and design what must be done."

| She had been joking, but it seemed that he was not joking at all. Three months? Ana smiled some and then pointed to a date. "That one, then." She said quietly. "And I....well....I am sure whoever you are hiring can handle it. Being Lord of the province and all....I imagine there are strings that can be pulled." Time would fly by, she had no doubt about that.

| "A Primeday. Very good choice, my love. I don't see needing to pull any special strings, but invitations to various dignitaries and the local government will need to be sent out. It might seem a monumental task, but it will all come together easily. Fret not, my dear, but it will be perfect when it happens." Stark wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close again. "Have you selected any ideas for your bridesmaids?"

| "I am hardly worried, Alyn. And as long as I don't have to do all the planning, I will not fret over anything." Except flowers. She loved flowers, and had every intention on being fussy to no end about those. And she had a general idea in her head, but she was positive that she could convey that idea to someone and they could just make it happen.
"I would kind of have to have friends, in order to have bridesmaids, wouldn't I?" She sighed, laying her head on his shoulder after he pulled her close again. "Irlilia, maybe?" The Shadowguard was as close to a friend as she had in a while. There were a few girls she still kept loose contact with from school and had lunch with once and a while, but generally, she had been too busy. "I am sure she would be thrilled to have the chance to wear something fluffy.
"Speaking of....is Malinara any better? She doesn't glare -quite- as much....." Ana frowned some.

| "Then you are more than welcome to give a hand in whatever planning you wish and leave the rest to the host of wedding planners who, I fear, will necessitate this to be a much larger event than need be. Nonetheless, I indulge the people in whatever they enjoy doing. As for Miss Dannen, I am sure she would be quite happy to be one of your bridesmaids." Stark frowned slightly. "You mean you have no friends from Naboo? Nobody at all that would stand with you? I assumed that Representative Vanden would stand in the place of your father, if nothing else.
"And yes, Malinara... she does not respond to perceived threats well, and you were, at first, what she believed would be a temporary threat. Now that she's come to accept you as a permanent fixture, so to speak, she has raised no issue."

| "Acquaintances, really. Some girlfriends from school that I rarely see. I've kept busy, mostly." She said, smiling some. "I'll call them." Ana reassured him. "Maybe, if you'd send someone, they could come for a bit before to help or....just...." She would falter some. "I am not very good at these things. I could plan fancy parties, but this is beyond my realm. Either way, I'll call them."
Ana let out a sigh and glanced up at him. 'What about you? The man who has everything. Who do you have in mind?"

| "Well I'm certain there are those among my Shadowguard who would stand in for bridesmaids if the need arises." Stark chuckled. "You'd be the safest woman at a wedding ever, I daresay. Nonetheless, it would do you some good to have friends from home as well. I would not wish you to stand there on such a happy day with nobody but guards about you, even if they were in dresses.
"As for me? It is likely Jendos Merced will be my best man; he and I went through the war together and for as little as we are able to visit one another, we talk often. Barring that, I will likely have Gadrid as a groomsman, as well as as Azaghor. Likely as not, I may ask a few others to make an appearance. I would enjoy it if Moff Shirnoq could make it to the wedding, if his schedule allows."

| "I think I can claim Irlilia as mine, at this point. She likes me better, anyway. You never got a pedicure with her." Ana smirked some, trying not to crack a smile as she teased him about the Shadowguard that she had become friends with. She felt a little uncomfortable about it all, to tell the truth.
"How....many guests are you considering Alyn? Is this going to turn into a circus?"

| "Oh, she does have a fond spot for you, no doubt. I'm glad the two of you bonded well. Out of all the Shadowguard, she is perhaps the second most insidious when it comes to appearing harmless. And there is that matter of a pedicure." Stark laughed along with her, then considered her question. He didn't want an extreme amount of guests, but there would have to be certain invitees based off of formality.
"Around two hundred, if I can wrangle it. Perhaps one seventy-five. There are likely to be holocams as well and news crews, but a direct number will be small."

| "I am not quite sure that two hundred guests is a small amount." she said, concerned. Ana supposed it really didn't matter, except for the part where there would be 400 (or more, depending on species) eyes staring at her. "It will be fine though." She said, more trying to reassure herself than anything.
"I hope you won't be mad at me, but I did something to maybe help you through this political nonsense." She said, changing the subject. Ana moved away and brought him back her data pad with the letter she had written, that had already been sent out, to the Lorrdian people.

| "Two hundred is a relatively small amount for all the hats I wear, my love. And what did you do politically?" A measure of concern crept into Stark's voice, worried less for himself than for her. He doubted she did anything drastic, but he did want her to be well-received by his people.

| Ana handed him the datapad with the communication she had written, that had already been sent out. "It's been sent, so, whats done is done." she said as she watched him to gauge a reaction. "And if you are upset, I understand, but I am not sorry." She believed firmly that it was the right thing to do for him, and it would show the people that she was more than what they probably thought of her as so far. Gold-digging hussy. Of course, she didn't know that for certain, it was just an assumption. That was how she would have seen the situation for sure.
