| "That's quite good thinking darling. Taking command of the household already." He gave her a teasing smile, then finished dressing, to include pulling on his boots and slip a hold-out knife into one of them, ideally when Ana was not watching. It never hurt to be armed himself, after all. "Well, shall we gather everyone together and head for the motor pool? I'm sure by now the repulsor-limo I requested has arrived."

| He had forgotten, it seemed, the appointment that she had. But the tap on the door should have been enough to remind him of such. And not quite an hour later, the physician who had arrived was leaving, and Alyn would have a photograph in his hand. An actual paper, not just a holodisc, at her insistence. "It looks like a bean." She smiled some, pointing out the shape of their developing child as she straightened her top and skirt again. No, she wasn't showing t all yet, but she still wore looser clothing for comfort, and while it may not have been in fashion on Lorrd yet, it was still quite the fashionable outfit and she loved it.
She moved over to him. "I'm sure everyone is waiting on us. Do you want to go?" She asked as she slid her arms around him once again. "We can take that too. You can be all boastful and proud if you want. We are among friends, after all." She whispered before she kissed him lightly..

| Stark was not quite so forgetful as to miss the appointment; however, an upside of the wealthy was having people wait on occasion, and it would take time to prepare the armored repulsor limo and ensure the escort vehicles were prepped. Looking at the picture of their son, or as Ana called it, their bean, Stark felt himself smiling widely. "of course we're taking this with us! We certainly have to show off this picture to our friends. You, my love, are positively glowing.
At least we know our son is healthy and growing well. And of course, let us be off. We have a lot of fun ahead of us today, and this has just added to it."

| Ana nodded some and smiled. "I'm glad you're happy." she said softly before she turned from him and grabbed her handbag. "And already such a proud father. You know...." Ana said thoughtfully. "That makes you more of a father than either of ours put together." It was the truth, at least, but she was pretty sure he already knew that he was a better man than either of them ever could have been.
She would let him keep ahold of the photo, while she started from the room. Her friends were waiting not far, and quite patiently, for them. Ana had let them know, well, she let Irlilia know, that Alyn was coming with them for the day.

| The photo was tucked into an inner pocket of his shirt, keeping the picture of their son close to his heart. "I suppose that is the best I can do; to be the best father possible to our son." Moving downstairs to the group, Stark greeted everyone warmly. After a few moments, he outlined the plan for at least getting there. Stark, Ana, Ana's three friends and Jendos Merced would be loading up in one of Stark's Astral-8 landspeeders, accompanied by a pair of Arrow-23 landspeeders for security, that would also serve to carry the Shadowguard.

| By the time they got there, Ana could already tell that Elena was drooling over Jendos, a situation that Ana easily remedied by making sure Jendos was in the car next to Alyn and Elena was a safe distance away. She was sure that Alyn would want to share his news with his friend.
Ana would settle on alyns other side before she laced her fingers with his and squeezed gently. "Well this should be fun. I've never actually been out of the castle...."

| (Jendos has allowed me to auto his character for these posts. )
The Astral-8 was staged alongside the already-loaded Arrow-23 landspeeders in the giant central room towards one wing of the castle. Outside of aerial access, this was the solitary path in and out; at least listed on the blueprints. Once everyone was loaded up comfortably, there was the slight feeling of dropping down as the massive floor lift dropped nearly two kilometers. From there, they'd proceed out through the Summit's cave entrance into the mountain and past the the various garrisons and switchbacks of the mountain, through the Breaker garrison, the Waypoint garrison until they terminated in a relatively lush valley; one of very few on Lorrd, which put them at Passage, a veritable miniature fortress that guarded the path to Castle Stark and its upper checkpoints. From there, it was fifty kilometers to the Portal and then an additional six kilometers out from the Portal to the entrance to Stark's ruling area of the Kinyov Province.
At their maximum speed, the drive to Qatamer would only take some twenty minutes. From Qatamer, Stark had organized transport for them and their vehicles to Lorrd City aboard a converted cargo freighter. There would be plenty of time for conversation and Stark noted rather quickly the interest Elena took in Jendos, which was returned somewhat by the current head of House Malos.
Stark had taken the opportunity, when Irlilia was not pointing out certain landmarks to Ana, to whisper to her. "It will be a pleasant trip my darling; perhaps not the shortest, but as you've said, you have not been able to get out and I'd like you to see as much of Lorrd as you can. Unfortunately, the Kinyov Province happens to be rather much of a desert, so there may not be much to see here."

| Ana took note of the things that Irlilia was pointing out to her, barely paying attention to the conversation elsewhere in the vehicle. She would, however keep a light grip on Alyns hand, her fingers entwined with his. It was comforting to her, as she was nervous for some reason.
When he leaned over to whisper to her, she turned to him and smiled. "Desert or not, it's still beautiful. All climates have their own kind of beauty." She said in response. "And yes, I would like to see more also. I admit, I am a little worried about getting tired. I'm sure of it comes to it, you could take me home. Not everyone would have to have their day cut short, right?" Ana asked before she idly fussed with the collar of his shirt with her free hand.
"Or Irlilia can. I'm sure it'll be just fine though...."

| "If you become tired my love, I can most certainly see to it that you get home. You forget, Lorrd City is our largest spaceport, and I have my yachts overhead. It's a simple matter of landing one and then simply flying it back to Castle Stark." He gave her hand a light squeeze to go with his smile. In no time at all, they would be at Qatamer and then at last, Lorrd City, where their small convoy emerged from the spaceport.
With the windows tinted, none could see in, but all within would be able to see out easily enough at the bustling city. Placed in one of the few moderately temperate zones, it was quite filled with all manner of people.

| Ana glanced to him and gave him a brief, sweet smile. "There is that plural again...yachts. Like you're rich or something." She teased him before she leaned over and gave him a kiss, despite the huff that she heard come from Ina. "I have quite fond memories of at least one of those yachts." She murmured in his ear, with a smile.
"So where exactly are we going. The girls and I didn't have a set plan....and as you've probably noticed, they all have very different tastes in things."

| Stark chuckled at her comment, turning his head to kiss her as well; his smile growing more mischievous as she mentioned fond memories. Oh, they were fond memories indeed, and always worthy of revisiting in the flesh, so to speak, but now was neither the appropriate place or time to entertain such thoughts. As he considered her question, he was aware of Jendos chatting up Elena on the far side of the car, despite the distance between them.
"I figured I would let you all talk amongst yourselves, or we can drive around until we find something that looks interesting to you; any of you. I didn't know a shopping trip necessarily had to be fully planned out."

| Ana shook her head some, resting a hand against his chest as she kept herself close to him. "In Theed, there is kind of a shopping district." She said, to which the girls, except Elena, agreed. She was too busy flirting mercilessly. "Is there something like that here? That way we don't necessarily all have to be stuck in the same place if we don't want to be?" It was just a suggestion, as she really didn't know much about Lorrd City, something that needed to be remedied soon.
She was a little concerned that Alyn would be bored on this venture out, but he seemed content enough so far.

| "And of course my love, Lorrd City has a shopping district, in which we find ourselves now. I certainly wouldn't let you and your friends wander around the slums." He kept an ear out on Elena and Jendos. Jendos, it seemed, was falling prey to Elena's charms. Shaking his head in amusement, Stark continued speaking. "At any point, all you need do is ask the driver to stop and we shall all pile out like a happy little family and seek out wherever it is you'd like to shop."

| "You and about a half dozen others barely let me out of your sights." She murmured, smirking at him some. "How about here?" Ana suggested as they entered a more busy area of the district. when he would pull the vehicle to a stop, Ana would watch the girls get out, including Elena, who hung back and waited for alyn's friend.
"Oh that's not going to end well..." Ana said to Alyn before she gave him a small smile and got out. It was busier than she expected, and so much different from home. "Are you going to let me sneak off for a while, Mr. Stark?" She asked, a bit of a mischievous grin crossing her lips as she did.

| "Oh, trust me my love, I intend to pick up a few things myself, so while you'll be well within the sights of the watchers, you may indeed be briefly out of my sight." As she had the driver stop, he let her move towards the door after her friends left, then pulled her close for a brief kiss. "Of course, Miss Riley. Irlilia will be with you, as well as a handful of the others. I'm sure you won't see all of them, and as it stands, I do have a few things to grab."
