| He didn't mind the changes that were being made to his room. If anything, it made it seem much more like home to him now as opposed to a brooding fortress of solitude. The place was much livelier now, and it brought a warmth to Castle Stark that the structure had not seen since its construction, and if buildings could talk, Stark was rather certain the castle would express some form of gratitude for the change.
"You have no need to apologize, my love. Pregnancy can be overwhelming, just as much as all this change can be. You never need to apologize for these things. A sweater should do you fine, though. It won't be too cold."

| She sighed and stayed with her arms around him for only a few moments before she pulled away. Ana smiled again. "Well lets go then. I'm anxious to get out of here for a while." She was a little concerned that the Shadowguard would not like this idea, but she was sure that if Alyn told them no, they would at least have to respect that.

| "We can take my personal transport. It's in the hangar." Stark was referring to the Infinite Thought, of course, and not one of the yachts. Such would not be needed for an inter-planetary jaunt and it was much quicker than taking a speeder. Offering his arm to Ana, he'd escort her through the halls towards the castle hangar. "There is a zoo in Frezen as well, if you'd like to go see it."

| "A zoo? I've never been to one." Ana commented as she walked with he fiancée. Today was something she kind of needed, just to get away with him would be fantastic. Ana held tightly onto his arm as they walked to the hangar to the transport. "You're driving, right?" She gave him a small, knowing smirk in regards to her own extraordinary driving and flying skills.

| "Oh, certainly I'm flying... but you'll be taking the stick from the co-pilot's chair once we get out in the air." He winked as they finally entered the hangar at last. The side hatch was open and awaiting them, granting entrance to the interior three-deck design. With the bottom deck dedicated to systems, the main deck housed Stark's private quarters, a small armory and most notably, the Eta-2 interceptor, speeder bike and a pair of dormant battle droids that stood side by side before the case that held his armor.
"So you've never been to a zoo, eh? Well now... this should be something of a treat. I heard they want to put a baby sarlacc on display at some point."

| Ana shook her head as they boarded the transport. "I would very much rather not. I will take a pass on the flying." She smiled some and did manage to settle down in the co-pilots chair anyway, but she would not be flying the thing if she had her way. She had no desire or will to. It had been scary enough last time and she did not want to deal with the stress.
"A baby sarlacc? That sounds.....interesting for certain....."

| "I'm sure 'interesting' is the correct term," Stark said with some amusement as he departed the hangar smoothly, heading for the upper atmosphere until he settled in a cruising altitude. "There's a number of other animals, of course, some from desert worlds and some from ice worlds. It's a rather interesting zoo, after all. I think they have one of those wampa from Hoth too. Big, angry creatures."

| "Well that all sounds very exciting." She said, thinking of the myriad of creatures that could have been in one of these zoos that he spoke of. For the duration of the trip, Ana would sit back and relax some. They had done so much over the past several days to plan their wedding and their life. She smiled some before she glanced to him. "Is this hard for you? Being without your shadowguards or whomever?"

| "Not at all," Stark said easily, lost in thought. As such, his words weren't as guarded as they might have been. "I'm more than capable of handling my own defense, and yours, without them around. They just add to the help." Glancing around at the controls, he hit the autopilot and then leaned back to look at his future wife. "Is this hard for you," he teased her, "Just the two of us, all alone?"

| She looked over at him lazily and offered a half smile. "No." She said, pausing thoughtfully before she spoke again. "No, I quite prefer it, actually." Ana said. "Why would it be difficult?" he must not have known how she felt. His life was perhaps a bit too grand for her, and she would have loved it if it was just the two of them. she was better that way. But she was adapting to this life, and she would insist on some normalcy. Ana had made it quite clear to people that she didn't want to be waited on at all times, whether Alyn knew that or not. It was difficult to get people to listen, however.

| "Everything takes adaptability my love. I am used to this as much as I am to having all the people around. Coming up in the military taught me the value of the team mentality. Tutors and business taught me how to adapt to leadership even prior to the military. I am used to all of this... but peace and quiet is by and large the best I have, especially with you." He pursed his lips for a moment, thinking.
"I know you think all the guards are a tad much, Ana, but you must understand, while I am confident in my ability to defend myself and you, I am still one man... and I would never wish you to be in harm's way if I can prevent it. If my security seems overbearing, it is only because I love you and our son and I'd never see you injured because of my overconfidence in myself alone."

| "How do you think you would adapt if it were the other way around, Alyn?" she asked, out of sheer curiosity. "If you married me and came to live in my home on Naboo with no servants or shadowguard of billions of credits and a huge company? Would that be hard to adapt to, do you think?" Ana was just curious if it was be difficult for him to give up everything he knew. Of course that was not what was happening.
"I do not think anyone is going to try and hurt me, or Jackson, Alyn. If you have reason to believe it, then I wish that you would share it with me so that I can at least be prepared and maybe it would help me understand why all this is necessary."

| "If I came to live on Naboo," Stark mused, "With no servants and no Shadowguard and without all my wealth and my company... I'd still be quite content because I'd have you and out son, and with my business sense and smarts, I'd end up with a good job and more than likely make smart investments with the money I did make. Give it ten years and we'd be more than moderately wealthy. It's all a matter of adaptation, my love. I could just as easily live a simply life."
There were things he didn't want to tell her, largely because he didn't want her to worry. "I'd not worry too much about specifics."

| "If there are specifics, Alyn, I would rather know about them and be ready, rather than be sheltered and naive. A marriage takes two people and it will not work if one keeps things from the other." Ana explained to him carefully. "I can handle the truth, I hope you know. I am not made of glass, I promise."
She would focus her gaze ahead, again, and take a deep breath. "And....I can sort of shoot....if I have to."

| "You've got me on that one," he admitted ruefully. "Mainly it's House Garth I worry about. Other than that, I could always throw some random names in there. I mean, I could say the Hutt Cartel wants me dead," his tone was joking though. "No, no. I shouldn't jest. That was all my uncle, actually. I know you can shoot, my dear, and I have faith in you, but what kind of husband would I be if I didn't protect my pregnant future wife from all manner of dangers?" He did have a point in that, and granted, there were likely a large number of people who'd want him dead if they knew certain things, but the public face of Alyn Stark was all but spotless.
