"I think the people know," Valery said with a soft smile. Whether or not her father and husband did, she wasn't sure. And if they did, they probably didn't really care at all. But she new that change would never come from those who benefit from cruel rules and traditions. So as long as the people were aware of what happened, there was at least a chance some things could one day change.

For now, she focused on her family though and after looking down at the triplets for a moment, she glanced up at Vera. "You taught her that, hm?" She chuckled and interlaced fingers. "Maybe we should let her keep one. She has been fantastic with training and helping with the babies." But right as she said this, Valery watched BB-610 quickly rolling up to Vera.

With an army of Racyons behind him.

The little Racyon at the stall had crawled onto Vera's shoulder, and with a happy giggle, she turned around to her father to show him just how adorable she really was. But when she noticed that her friend was getting swarmed, Vera raised both her hands. All at once, the army of Racyons stood up and remained still while they looked at Vera as if she was their supreme leader. "Be nice to Bee," she told them with another giggle.

"...she has an army now. Just what exactly are you teaching her?" Valery grinned at her husband. But this was just the beginning.

A loud shriek from a little girl drew Vera's eyes to Serena, who was getting chased by a Racyon as well, and trying to run away from Inanna Harth and to Cato Harth . "A bad plushie!" Vera called out. "Come on, Bee! We must help! I'm Padawan Noble, and Jedi always help!" With that, she ran off, much to the surprise of the stall owner, who watched a child run off with one of his Racyons on her shoulder. "Hey! You've gotta pay for that!"

"Oh dear... Babe? Can you go after Vera? I'll uh, pay for our new pet?" She flashed a sheepish smile and quickly pushed the carrier with the triplets in the direction of the stall.

Meanwhile, Vera was closing in fast, hopefully with Bee right behind her, and used the Force to jump at the Racyon chasing Serena with her arms wide, hoping to tackle the creature to the ground before picking it up to take it away and bring it to her army of friends.

Padawan Noble was coming to the rescue.

Dreidi spotted Corazona von Ascania though she seemed busy with others in conversation, Dreidi just allowed her friend to sense her presence through the Force and let her know that she would be around if the princess wanted to catch up later. For now, Dreidi decided to explore the gardens, the stalls were intriguing however, grand gardens were not something she was accustomed to and Dreidi wanted to see how the very wealthy lived and how they adorned their palaces and the gardens they owned. While she never lived in poverty like some, Dreidi was not uber wealthy, she was just comfortable.

Entering the gardens, Dreidi let her gaze look around, her golden eyes taking in the details as she was curious how one could take care of so many different flowers as well as shape some of them into the detailed sculptures that they were. Dreidi was walking at a leisurely pace, she was not use to seeing so much green plant life, Coruscant was metallic and industrial and while Dathomir was home to a variety of flora, they were not as colourful as these and much more dangerous. Nothing in this garden seemed to be prepared to eat you if you stood too close.

As she wandered, she noticed a trio of fellow Jedi talking. While she did not recognise any of them, Dreidi decided it would be a good time to introduce herself. Walking over, she gave a warm smile to all of them. "Hi, I'm Dreidi Xeraic. Pleasure to meet you guys." She gave a wave of her hand.

"Prescient, too, which is simply fascinating." A quick search using his ocular overlay revealed that the creatures were already being studied Globex's biotechnicians, though they had yet to figure out how that part worked. The fact that the subjects were seemingly clever enough to nonverbally demand pampering in exchange for cooperation likely didn't help.

The kit Thania petted seemed to like her, but Desric kept his distance for now.

Truth be told he much preferred people to animals; much easier to understand.

"Oh? Not since coming to the Core, I take it?" His statement could easily be construed as a reference to her stated homeworld, but the truth was that Cadence had already run a preliminary background check.

It was enough to pull together easily accessible details like public employment history.

As she commented on the purpose of her visit, Desric lips quirked up in amusement. "I certainly do. Neither Senators nor PR directors have the luxury of anonymity or clearly demarcated work hours." A diplomat, eh? He was inclined to believe her - but that did not preclude her from being SIA. Hell, the difference was academic, at times.

Globex simply assumed that all diplomats moonlight as spies, for instance.

As such they were given easy, but not too easy, access to 'the right information.'

"I see most things~" Cadence cheerfully noted, her photoreceptors directed at Thania.

 

[Kahlil Noble]

".. Well technically she's a princess, so I guess I taught her how to rule?"

Kahlil was just as bewildered as Valery this time as he watched the army Vera had gotten under her command. It was.. Fascinating just how much she grew. But also panic inducing as she ran off with them. He just ended up laughing as he reached out to set the needed credits on the counter before heading off in a jog to follow her. He'd watch for now, more curious on what would happen than with stopping her.

Vera had yet to make him think he needed to stop her, after all.

---

“My Shyriiwook is a little rusty.”

"I hardly remember any of mine," Cato said somewhat ashamedly. Considering he lived on Kashyyyk for years, one would think he had more lasting familiarity with the native tongue.

But there was hardly any time to dwell on that matter, as Serena made a sugar-induced break for it, tailing a racyon. Inanna, with some quick thinking, made the firs move; Shapeshifting into a larger racyon herself and effectively herding Serena back to Cato. He followed from behind, ready and waiting to scoop Serena back up as she came running back to the safety of her father. He picked her up, and chuckled, "Gotcha. You know you're not supposed to just go running off like that without one of us," Cato shook a finger.

"Don't worry, though. That one was just-" her mom? He found her racyon form again just in time to see an older kid coming in to capture the fuzzy little Inanna. "Aw, jeez. Wait-!" He tried to warn both of them, approaching too late to make his point.

"Prescient, too, which is simply fascinating."

I noticed that Desric is keeping his distance from the racyon. It's unlikely that he is afraid of them, and he is clearly fascinated. Maybe he just doesn't want to take a risk? I grabbed the racyon I've been petting and held her in my arms. After getting her dose of snuggles, it seems like the racyon is looking at Desric now, her eyes resembling what we call the 'puppy eyes'.
​

"Mhhm. Look at this one, cute isn't she. You're not afraid of her, aren't you?"​

I walked closer to Desric, offering him if he wanted to interact with the Racyon I had just picked up while still letting him keep some distance from it.
​

"Oh? Not since coming to the Core, I take it?" His statement could easily be construed as a reference to her stated homeworld, but the truth was that Cadence had already run a preliminary background check.

"Not since coming back to the core. Let's just say I had a past with someone related to one of the houses."​

I corrected the young senator. I did spend my late teenage years in the core. I was fortunate enough to be inducted to the Galactic Relations program. It was not until my graduation that I moved to Ord Trasi. That might be unnecessary information, but he'll figure it out sooner than later, might as well hearing it from me. ​

"I see most things~" Cadence cheerfully noted, her photoreceptors directed at Thania.

Not to mention, it seems like the AI has been conducting a thorough background check on me, even spewing a cheeky remark. I just gave it my smile. Suddenly, an idea popped on my mind. Why don't I ask the senator to walk around. We have been standing at the stand for sometimes now, and I can hear a familiar voice from another racyon seller stand across where we are right now. I glanced to the source of the sound to find that it's Valery Noble 's. I sure would love to talk to her, but I'm right in the middle of an important conversation and I'd much rather not risk anything. Besides, it will be easier to distract the senator from his AI companion when I have him in my arms, and he sure seems like a nice and cute company himself. Two can play this game.
​

As she commented on the purpose of her visit, Desric lips quirked up in amusement. "I certainly do. Neither Senators nor PR directors have the luxury of anonymity or clearly demarcated work hours." A diplomat, eh?

"Hmm I don't doubt that. I'm sure you have a list of colleagues and friends you need to show courtesy to today. Well, why don't you walk me around while doing that, Senator. I'm sure I can be a decent companion while looking pretty in your arms."​

I offered Desric my arm, knowing full well what I'm doing. Am I being too forward? Maybe. Could it backfire? I doubt it. Best case, he's melted and I'll have an easier time. Worst case, he thinks I'm just using him to get introduced to someone, and that'll wash away his suspicion. I can always mend the bridge later on.​

[Inanna Harth]

Inanna did not sense Vera coming. She did hear Cato...

"Aw, jeez. Wait-!"

... but not until it was too late.

Vera collided with Inanna, snatching her up from the ground. For a moment the Shi'ido was too stunned to do much more than flail in the tight grasp of childish hands, but once she got her bearings, she got a better understanding of what was going on. Vera had already amassed quite the collection of racyons, but neither that nor the fact that Inanna was considerably larger than the kits seemed to deter the girl.

The obvious solution to her predicament was to change back into a woman. But Inanna had no idea what this brat might do if she started skinshifting in her hands, and she really wasn't in the mood to be squished, dropped, or otherwise injured today. So she decided to try the diplomatic solution instead.

"Put me down, please," she said, black lips moving around sharp rodent teeth. "I'm not for sale."

"Biomolecules are not synthesized. They are grown, cultivated and harvested outside of the biodomes that protect our cities. And to answer your question, Lady Dune; I am here for the festival. I trust that the same goes for you?"

"Huh." Giselle scratched her head before answering, "Er, yes. Although, I'm technically supposed to be on a date." Which is to say, she'd been stood up by her date.

How was it that her cousin Corazona had two men to choose from, yet Giselle couldn't even get a single suitor to court her? She glanced self-consciously down at the candy she had been eating, suddenly very aware of her waistline... but then kept on eating.

"Well, I hope you are enjoying yourself. Are you planning on adopting a racyon?" All the offworlders had been going crazy over them.

[Liin Terallo]

My eyebrows rise in shock. "A date? Oh I am terribly sorry if I am making you late for it by chatting, Lady Dune." The very idea causing anyone misery in that regard is foreign to me.

I give a little nod in her comment. However to her question I shake my head. "I have only just arrived and so far my visit is pleasant, thank you. But no, I will not be adopting anything. I have not ever had a pet. I cannot spare the time for one. There is always much work to be done." I do not believe any in my family have had a pet for generations. I find the notion of it entirely bizarre.

"I will not keep you as you have somewhere else to be." The Lady had been a nice distraction to say the least. I find myself closing and lowering my fan. There is little that Eiden can report on me. However I cannot allow this trip to be fruitless in regards to benefits for New Cov. I am not on vacation, afterall.

"A date? Oh I am terribly sorry if I am making you late for it by chatting, Lady Dune."

"Oh no, not at all. Baron von Dessau's eldest son was supposed to meet me here, but he never showed up. I'm not about to just leave the harvest festival over a boy, even if he is the heir to the House of Anhalt." She waved the bag of chocolates as if it were justification enough for her staying.

"Ah, I see. I don't have any pets myself either, but that's only because my mother is allergic. It's something in their fur..." She trailed off, watching as a small army of racyon kits passed by, chased by a gaggle of barefoot and shrieking peasant children. "They are cute, though. And supposedly they have magic powers."

Liin had closed and lowered her fan, evidently no longer concerned about being seen. "That's a lovely dress, by the way," Giselle remarked, now that she had an unobscured view of the gown. "Wherever did you get it?"

Ukatis Harvest Festival - Ascania - Ukatis
Corazona von Ascania | Inanna Harth | Cato Harth | Valery Noble | Kahlil Noble | BB-610

Nothing quite escapes a doctor's eyes. Even as he shuffled away the figurine, every little detail out in his peripheral vision gave him a clue. Not that he willfully did this. No, it was ingrained in him. But it provided a little light on the nature of who he was talking with. The way her hands clenched the figurine, protectively so. The softness and care taken with the name spoken between her lips. Her eyes darting to and fro, watching but also sometimes wanting.

Merlyn knew better than to take up someone's time at this stage in the festivities. A courtesy he would pay to her that he would not take up much more of her time.

His hands stopped for a moment, however, right before almost sealing the figurine into a spare compartment as she made her opinion of his choice. Different colored eyes. Seaglass. A brief glance inside at the figurine before looking back up at her and downward again. This happened a few more times before a small grin etched itself into the side of his mouth. His arms moved to close the bag before stopping. A pause and a discerning look fell upon the figurine.

"Well, if-."

His words were cut down immediately by the question posed by the woman keeping him company. A pair of raised eyebrows followed before his expression upon her turned confused for a moment. Before exploding in a mixture of chuckling and laughter. One arm wrapped around his side, clutching tight.

"You certainly have Jedi on the brain, don't you?" Merlyn breathed out between a few fits of chuckles before settling, rubbing the bridge of his nose with a finger, "While I am flattered you would think so highly of me, I am afraid I am just a traveler. A friend passing through."

It would be made especially true if he touched that stone on her finger. Why did she wear it? Did she know? Ukatis was a planet that just recently came into the Galactic Alliance and opened itself up to be exposed to the greater galaxy. So, the question would be: did she know its properties? Suspicion reared its ugly head, especially in the context of her previous question, before settling back down.

This was supposed to be a festival, right? Full of dancing and music and food.

"Well, as I was trying to say before-. Do . . . do you hear that?" Merlyn peered over her shoulder, far past her. The sound of a child shrieking. And he could feel it too, the raw emotion behind it, even with the dull ache of the stone. The fear. Not shrieking due to childish wonder or upset at not getting her way. No, this was fear. A child's fear. Scared and running. Looking for safety. For family.

Gently gesturing his arms out to signal his conversational partner he was passing by her, Merlyn took a step around and past the fellow figurine collector before peering and locking eyes. A screaming child chased by a fully grown raycon. Rabies? Had it gone feral?

"Oh. No."

Without another mention or word, his feet took off almost without his body, leaning forward and rushing through the crowd. Snaking through and occasionally giving a slight push to those that simply needed to learn to get out of his way, Merlyn closed the distance almost rapidly. His attention remained on the vermin even as the child lept into the arms of her father. If the creature took a leap too, he could catch it mid-air before it-.

His feet skidded to a halt as his arms swayed about to help balance and stop himself as another blur--well, perhaps to anyone not quick enough--leapt into the air and tackled the beast. A child? Tiny ripples in the force, all converging and singing in harmony around the child. And the army of raycons following her. What was happening here?

Bending his knees and crouching down, Merlyn draped his arms over his knees before shuffling closer to the scene, careful not to disturb or step on the army. His feet never left the ground, instead sliding and nudging the raycons with his legs and hands to let him through. He briefly rubbed an ear. Did he hear right? A talking raycon? Speaking basic?

His eyes shifted to the small girl who had brazenly tackled this creatures. A small thumbs up was given.

"You're faster than me. Good job. Solid form by the way," Merlyn nodded with a smile before rubbing a hand along the bottom of his jaw as he peered once more at the she-beast, "But I think she's a shapeshifer. A shapechanger, if you will."

Cupping his hand up against and around the bottom of his face, Merlyn tapped his finger a few times against his cheek while in thought.

"I think we should let her go. So she can explain why she scared a child like that," Merlyn tilted his head at the creature before looking back at the rambunctious child, "What do you think?"

The choice was, quite literally, in her little hands.

It seemed Thania had noticed his hesitation. "That she is," Desric noted, initially unsure how she knew the gender without cybernetic eyes - but then, she might have just glanced at the genitals, no biometric scans needed. "And no, though I am not used to interacting with animals." Some Serennians used steeds recreationally, but his family had always favoured repulsorcraft.

Then again, this particular creature had been bred for the nobility, had it not? He had to assume the instinct to bite fingers had long since been bred out of that branch of the species. On that note, he gave it a tentative pet.

It did not, as it were, bite him. Cadence sent him a mental message that could be summarised as 'sniggering in binary'.

As she expanded on her past meetings with Serennians, he gave her a nod and a smile - it sounded as if said past could be described as complicated, but that was not surprising. Especially if she'd interacted with house politics.

If she had, the background check would no doubt prove an interesting read.

"Something like that," Desric said, though in truth most of those he might want to interact with were visitors like him. Ukatis as a whole was not terribly important to him or his work. Giving her a thoughtful look, he considers her proposition for a moment then took her hand - it seemed harmless enough. It was not as if they were attending a ball or the like.

He looked like he was about to say something, but the words died in his throat in response to a debacle involving screaming children, a veritable army of racyons, and... was that Vera Noble? "... that was unexpected."

The Kel Dor teen was perfectly fine if Loomi wanted to stay out in the marketplace. He really just didn’t want her to feel pressured into staying if she didn’t want to. Ko also listened to what reason the Cathar woman had for being here. Speaking about Mandalorians and how they don’t get along. Ko thought for a second, was there anyone Mandalorians got along with? That was sort of their thing, warmongering. Then again Ko didn’t personally know any Mandalorians.

However, Loomi seemed to recognize them as Jonyna. So they two must’ve had some sort of prior experience. Ko more so eyed the little creature in her arms. Still thinking about grabbing one of the strays out here for Loomi to possibly bombard with affection. But soon enough there was another new face that joined them. Other than feeling pretty certain she was a Jedi despite the unique attire, he didn’t recognize her. “Hello, I’m Ko.” He replied, now just for the new person to buy Jonyna as well. “And this is Loomi too.” Ko added, introducing his Godoan friend too.

Then Ko’s attention went back to the marketplace they were in and the stalls around them. Now that Loomi had pointed it out he did notice a fair few onlookers. Now their attention was more divided up by the quartet of strangers rather than just the teenage Godoan and Kel Dor. But Ko’s covered eyes looked around at the vendors more so. He stepped away a bit before turning back to the three ladies he now found himself with and asked. “Hey, I’m gonna get myself something to drink, is there anything ya’ll might want me to get?” Ko was getting kind of parched and also thought that it might make him feel a little less hungry too.

“I’m a…Cathar…we don’t get along…This is Guffy by the way…say hi if you want…”

"Oh," Loomi frowned, giving a meek wave to the racyon.

She knew that Mandalorian, Minerva Fhirdiad . She seemed a kind woman from what she had interacted with, though she had notably been in an emotional state during that mission. There must have been some long-passed history there that she simply wasn't knowledgeable about.

The Godoan didn't know much history in the first place.

"Hi, I'm Dreidi Xeraic. Pleasure to meet you guys."

Another person? Loomi turned, fixing her eye on the woman's face. She was older, more mature looking, and notably very pale. Was she a witch? Whatever the case, she was very cool, and having more people around who stood out in a crowd around her made the Godoan's nerves calm ever so slightly. Ko was quick to introduce them both and ask if they wanted to any drinks, stating he wished to get one. In that moment an idea popped into Loomi's head.

"Why don't we all go?" she suggested, turning back to Jonyna specifically. "It could help clear your head, and I'm kinda thirsty myself. Uh... as long as someone tells me what's on the menu."

She still couldn't read very well.

"I could....go for a drink..." Her breathing was practiced and slow, letting herself keep her heart rate down. She couldn't fight them, that was always her first instinct. And her mind wouldn't let her run away.

A dress made by the tailor of the Sal-Soren, that was something that had gotten Lily very excited. It was different to items of clothing that she would usually wear and she was eager to show it off. Especially visiting a new world with her Master, who was wearing something in a similar style. The dress had already been shown off to friends, her mother and her aunt, everyone had their own views and comments on her outfit. Her mother was not exactly pleased with what she decided was too much skin showing, that was till her aunt interjected and stated that she would attempt to get Aunty Kat into even more revealing outfits than this when she was going out. That caused her mother to glare and mutter that she supposed it wasn't too bad. Lily was super appreciative of her aunt for that.

Now she was on Ukatis and checking out a festival, and the stalls that were set up. It wasn't too dissimilar to events that had happened on Eshan in the past, not that she had really attended those in the past. She was never big on checking out stalls and such before, she had been to several as a child and by the time she was older grew bored of them. This was a new world, it was new and different that Lily had to check it out, the feelings she felt inside made her realise that she might wish to check out the new festival on Eshan if she got the opportunity. Especially since it would be a chance to visit home and see her mother in person.

Her hands adopting the usual position of behind her as her gaze watched the people of the stalls. Curious at their body languages and assessing the people of this world, Lily was a people watcher for sure, she found it helped in conversations and allowed her to practical her social skills more. It was a tricky balance of not watching too much and doing enough to gain some understanding and insight. As she walked with Briana, Lily stopped as she watched a gambling vendor play a dice game with customers. As the vendor won a couple of times, Lily tilted her head, a game of chance but something was off.

"Master... There is something off about that vendor and the game he is advertising. His body language is too confident, too certain for a game of chance..." She whisper to her Master, there was something deceptive going on but Lily was not sure what, since it was a game of chance, how could one cheat at that?

Smiling to the trio as they introduced themselves to her, she was pleased to meet them all. Loomi and Ko seemed to be Padawans, it was good to see the latest bunch of Padawans, remembering that she had not long been one herself. "Pleasure to meet you all." She nodded her head, then looked back in the direction she had come, knowing there were drinks served in the market area. She tilted her head and shrugged, she had gotten a good look around and it had been nice to get away from the crowds but she wasn't against returning there if she was able to continue to getting to know the new people she was conversing with.

"Sure, a drink can be good. Might want to avoid the racyon stall area. Last I saw, that area was getting busy and a bit chaotic." She could only imagine how things were ramping up since she last saw, especially with the children, Dreidi knew from her own experiences how children and animals could get into all kinds of mischief and dangers. It was what made playing with animals so exciting. And perhaps why she was interested in having her own animal companion, someone to help her out and keep her company. As well as introducing a little more chaos into her life.

Letting the others lead the way, Dreidi was happy to follow behind them. "How are you two finding life as Padawans?" Dreidi asked curious as she attempted to make small talk.

He had almost forgotten just how fast life moved around Vera. It was impossible for her to sit still and simply let him enjoy a stress-free evening, wasn't it? Of course it was, as BB-610 hadn't spent so much as a minute catching his bearings by the time the little Noble had already decided to rush off from one danger to another, so the droid once again found himself rolling along after her in an attempt to sway any future injuries or issues.

As one of the pests was snatched up in Vera's grabby little hands, BB-610 eyed it with suspicion, head tilted as his photoreceptors analysed it thoroughly. It was bigger - perhaps a mature one? The creatures were terrifying as juveniles, so the astromech observed the monster's every little twitch in search for any encroaching dangers. BB-610 wasn't about to take his chances with whatever a fully grown one could end up causing.

"Put me down, please. I'm not for sale."

It talked!

Deceiver! Demon! Kill it!

Tool-bay disk sliding open, BB-610 primed his electro-shock prod, crackling with energy as the droid inched closer to the racyon, entirely prepared to zap the little monstrosity away from Vera as he bweeped and snarled in as threatening a manner as he could with deep strings of low binary. The astromech steered the shock prod closer still, watching as the beast's fur stood on its ends, just about ready to electrocute the thing before a man approached.

BB-610 diverted his attention, peering up at the stranger, while the weapon continued to flirt with the idea of conjuring up a crispy rat. The beast's owner, perhaps? An accomplice? This was Ukatis, after all, where BB-610 had almost ruined their precious event. These were assassins! Bounty hunters! Disguised as a mere fluffy creature with its handler. How genius... The droid truly couldn't be angry at such deviously intelligent adversaries. Truly worthy foes for somebody of his calibre. Unfortunately for them, this was BB-610! Droid of The Galactic Alliance's very own Sword of the Jedi! And he would sooner die than allow any more harm to his beloved galax━━

"But I think she's a shapeshifer."

Oh that made sense.

BB-610 withdrew the electro-shock prod, casting a glance back to the shapeshifter in question. Bweeping quietly, he asked Vera to put it down slowly, optic trained on the vermin's every movement. The astromech turned to the little girl the racyon had been chasing, running up over to what the droid assumed was her father. Well, at least she'd gotten away to safety. Looks like Vera wasn't the worst protégé in the galaxy.

 

[Makko Vyres]

"Oh dear... Babe? Can you go after Vera? I'll uh, pay for our new pet?" She flashed a sheepish smile and quickly pushed the carrier with the triplets in the direction of the stall.

Makko had meandered around the festival for a time. He didn't really know what he was doing here. A glance at the life she led now, he supposed. Even though he was in touch, helping Cora publish a weekly digest on the gossip of the upper classes, it made it very different to see Utakis up close.

The locals still seemed a little weary of outsiders, he noted. There were lots of girls in flowery dresses. Given the months since the wedding, Makko was starting to think he should get out of his own head and go talking to people more. Not today.

A pack of vermin rushed past and he was certain that the droid from the engagement party beeped along.

With Khalil heading off on a mission at a quick step, Makko decided to approach Valery Noble

She would have noticed him sooner or later.

"Hey Valery," he said. "I mean, Master Noble."

He had never been good at formalities. He peered at the triplets and grinned. Given how much he obviously liked children, he was amazed he had entirely avoided being roped into babysitting by any of the Jedi at the enclave.

".. Well technically she's a princess, so I guess I taught her how to rule?"

Valery shot her husband a bit of a glare, but she quickly realized that he was just as confused. Vera, just like him, had always been good with animals, but it was certainly strange to see her use those abilities to calm down an army of Racyons, and have them all follow her. Luckily, Kahlil was already in pursuit, so Valery took the baby stroller and walked over to the stall, where Kahlil left behind some credits.

"I'm so sorry," she began, but the man didn't really want to hear much of it now that he got his payment. So instead, she turned to a familiar presence she felt approaching. "Hey Makko," she said with a warm smile. "How are you doing today?" She then asked, but she knew what he was dealing with, and that this planet caused a lot of that stress. So as she caught him looking down at the triplets with a grin, Valery reached down and picked up Aeryn, who was awake and squealing happily. "Would you like to hold her? This is Aeryn," she said. Valery was never one to just let anybody even touch her kids, but he seemed like he could need a bit of cheering up.

Meanwhile though...

Vera completely ignored Cato Harth when he called after her, and ran away with the captured Racyon. For some reason, she couldn't connect with it in the same way she had commanded the army of Racyons, so she planned to just take him away and try something else once he was reunited with the pack. At least, until others showed up and began to overwhelm her. It began with BB-610 approaching with a shock prod, ready to attack the villainous creature if it was necessary. But then...

"The plushie can talk!" Vera yelled, both scared and amazed at the same time. But before she could make a decision about what to do with the creature, Merlyn Ambrozius made his approach and tried to get her to put Inanna down. Vera didn't like this at all, and rotated her torso away, as if she was shielding the rodent with her own body.

"Mommy said I shouldn't talk to strangers."

She then quickly looked around, hoping to see a familiar face who could help, and finally spotted Kahlil Noble walking over. "Daddy!" she called out, her voice hinting that she was overwhelmed. "The bad plushie can talk!" She yelled while she held up the animal with both hands to show it off. But with his approach, she calmed down enough to realize it was the animal itself who had asked her to let go.

She didn't want to make it feel bad.

"Hmm, I'm sorry if I hurt you, but you shouldn't scare people." Vera set the shapeshifted rodent down and gently booped her nose as punishment. "Next time, I'll have to bring you to the Council."
