| Ana shrugged slightly as she slipped her arm into his in order to begin walking down the corridor together. "It could be hard, or it could be easy. I suppose it depends on how deep her issues run. She hasn't been in the tabloids since she returned home, that I could find, so it might not be too awful. She might just need help...integrating. I am not sure." Ana was quiet as he spoke about his cousin. "I understand. Well I will dutifully avoid him, though I won't be completely rude should something happen and I do run into him somewhere." She said as she squeezed his arm lightly.
"But yes, a pink shirt...with a lace cravat and cuffs." She nearly sighed. "You'll look stunning in pink...I probably won't be able to keep my hands off of you." Ana was almost unable to keep a straight face any longer. "If only to make the hideous thing go away." She finally relented about the shirt. While she had many clothes, nothing in her closet was pink, or lavender.
Ana looked up ahead and noticed that Jackson was not in sight, neither was Tarin, so she could only assume they had gone ahead to the ship. "I could leave as early as tomorrow. We could make some arrangements for a few days in the Lake Country before going to Theed. I think Jackson would do well in the fresh air...and to play in the grass." There wasn't really an abundance of it on Lorrd, so Jackson's grass stained clothing might have caused Mrs. Miteya to throw an aneurism at the sight. "And swim in the lake...I think he would like that." The more she thought about it, the more this seemed like a good idea for them.

| "Well, with your help... perhaps she can make integration easier." Stark gave his wife's arm a light squeeze in return. "If anyone can tune a person up, it would be you. You have as much skill with helping people as I do in building circuits." Stark chuckled and continued to walk with her. "If she hasn't made the tabloids, that's a step in the right direction, I'd say. Keeping out of the media's eye is problematic at times, especially if you're towards the top of the social chain."
Wrinkling his nose at the mention of the pink shirt, Stark said no more, just in case she did put him in one for the sake of getting a laugh. She could be wily, Ana could. "Tomorrow would be sufficient to depart. I don't see any reason for holding back, after all. Jackson needs to get off-world as often as possible. I traveled much when I was younger. The fact that there is more to see than snow and sand does a young boy good. The chance to swim in a non-artificial lake, as well, would be pleasant."

| There would, in fact, be a pink shirt tucked into his bag. Ana would often joke with him about things like that. a lot of the time, it would make him laugh, and that was healthy in a relationship. "I think that, Miss Ilyone went through something traumatic enough to straighten her out. Before she went missing, she had been a bit of a wild child. I just am supposed to help her settle in to her new life. And Mr. Ilyone...to ensure a smooth transition." She smiled. "She will be fine, I am sure." Ana smiled a bit.
"Enough about work. We'll have a few days vacation first....and you can teach Jackson how to swim. I'm sure you know how, don't you?" She teased. Of course he had to know how. Ana continued to walk down the corridor with her arm in his. "I definitely would like him to see more of the galaxy. It would help him learn more than he ever could from just holo books here." She said. "I would be happy to take him to Coruscant with me next time I go, also. He might enjoy the ballet....hopefully more than his father." Ana smirked, joking with him again.
"You know...." Ana tested the waters a little. "He might enjoy going out to the shipyards with you. If you haven't noticed, he's been building ships with his blocks like a pro. Like his daddy, he says." She cleared her throat slightly. "Maybe when we get back from Naboo?"

| "Jackson? Enjoy the ballet? Let's hope he doesn't enjoy it too much." Stark wrinkled his nose and shook his head. "The last thing I'd like to see is him giving up a promising career to become a dancer. Still, as long as he is happy, that's what matters. It is past time he learned to swim, though." Falling silent for a moment, he glanced towards Ana. "I assume you'll be spending a lot of time with Miss Ilyone. I assume as well that Jackson might be well be around her as well. I know you say she used to be a wild child, but do you believe she may have a negative effect on him?"
Considering taking Jackson on a tour of the Kol Huro System, Stark nodded. "It might do him some good to see what he will be presiding over one day. A very good suggestion, my dear. Very good indeed. Between Naboo, Coruscant and all the field trips, I'll be surprised if his mind doesn't just overload."

| "He may just enjoy watching it, Alyn, unlike you. There is nothing wrong with that." She smiled, but then her smile faded some when he mentioned Ilanah Ilyone. Unfortunately, Ana knew a great deal about the girls missing years, which was why she mostly needed to go to Naboo. Aside from the obvious issues with the Crown. Those issues were not something she could share with Alyn, or anyone else for that matter. "I am not sure. Like I said, I think she's changed, but she needs some PR to clear up her past. I am not sure that it is anything that we need to worry a huge deal about."
"But we do not have to let Jackson be around her if you don't feel comfortable. You'll be there, and when I need to be in Theed, you can keep Jackson and do something fun, if you want. He's young enough that I don't think it could influence him too much." Ana said, though she was uncertain. Alyn had brought up a valid point.
"As for the trips...I do not think that he will overload. He would be more than excited to go anywhere with you, you know that, right? He loves ships too, all kinds of them."

| "Oh, I don't mean to imply that she can't be around Jackson!" Stark was quick to say, "Certainly, he could do with meeting some new people. I just want to make sure she wasn't... well, unstable or anything. Still, if you trust the family around her, then I do as well." With a grin, Stark reached out and squeezed Ana's shoulder. "well, now you have me looking forward to this trip quite a bit. Some greenery will do us both good, especially greenery that isn't cultivated inside walls. The desert and snow are a bit much for me at times, too.
"So with Naboo on the itinerary, shall I pack heavy or light?"

| Ana shook her head some. "It's nice there this time of year, so light, I imagine. Besides, I assumed we would be taking one if the bigger ships, and it's only going to be a short transport ride off world if there is anything any of us didn't pack that we might need. However unlikely that is " she said. After having travelled extensively in one of those ships, she knew how well they were stocked, even with the Starks personal items.
"I am glad you are looking forward to it. It'll be good for Jackson too, and especially for him to spend some time with just you while I am working." Ana said thoughtfully. "But I promise not to work too much." She smiled and nudged him lightly with her elbow. Yes, it was a dig at him for being a workaholic sometimes, but she was just as guilty of it. "Anyway...let's take our son to the zoo...we can pack when we get back and leave this evening."

| "Well, I didn't want to make too much of a bad impression. I figured we could just take my personal transport and forgo all the major pomp and ceremony. It would be quite a bit less publicity as well. After all, to get to Naboo, we hardly need a liner or a yacht." Stark made a joke of the last part. "Still, you make a good point about not working too much. I'll do my best to get out with Jackson as much as possible while we are on Naboo. As you say though, my lovely wife, enough of the planning! To the zoo, my dear! To the zoo!"
