" That's good. I hope it stays that way." Balus replied to his father. Hearing his name, he turned," Oh, uh yeah, that was great fun. You having a blast, me worrying we're gonna get eaten." He replied with a bit of a smirk. " I guess it was one of those cool things I\ll never forget though." When Krystal said something about chemestry, he clued in on something she had told him. " Oh man, I'm being so stupid. Krystal, you don't have to force yourself to eat. I don't want you to suffer later."

Krystal heard what Balus said and realized what he just did for her. "No Balus it is ok as I do miss food and seeing nothing is critical right now might be nice to eat again, even if it is just to enjoy the taste and the likes. Besides your parents went to this trouble and it would be rude of me not to accept!" She smiles back at him.

" Uhhh.. okay, but it's your call." Balus replied, unsure. " Remember, I have to put up with you being miserable too." He grinned

"It is not my fault. You are the one that raved about the buns so in essence it is...your fault." She winks and sticks out her tongue before she realizes where she is and blushes. "My apologies Mr and Mrs. Walkir as I realize that was not table appropriate. Especially at a table so esteemed." By this she means a politicians table as she always ate at home with Richol or with her mates at work, and neither of those options really involved manners as all were mechanics.

(Balus and Krystal)
"and yet that's still more dignified then the joke Upperhouseman Patyl told the last time he dined here." Balus' father smirked, trying to put Krystal at ease. Two children enter the dining room now: The first is a precocious little girl with short straight blond hair. "Wowie Gil! Balus has a girlfriend!" as she rushes up to look at Krystal like she's a some kind of new toy that Balus brought home for her.
Gilad is dressed in dark black jeans and a black t-shirt - his hair is uncombed and unwashed, his face sullen. "Hey big bro - how's riding?"
Balus' mom starts to bring the dishes to the table. "Sit down everyone, dinner is served."
(Rogers and Fegh)
The other two men are big, but normal talus like him, as they spin out collapsible nightsticks. Krell smirks as he puts his hands in his pockets. "Now, why are you being so hard to talk to? You think your powers make you better than us norms? That what they teach you? Be a good little powered fascist?"
Rogers is walking off base a short distance away and overhears this.

Balus squated down to Tessa's level, grinning," Now cut that out. Krystal works with me on the Victory. You act like your big brother can't meet somebody." He held his hand out for a fist shake to Gilad," Nothing bub. Just snuck home for a visit before we ship out again. You complaining?"
At the girlfriend comment, he couldn't help but glance at Krystal to see what her reaction would be. He hadn't considered that, but then he couldn't keep her exotic looks out of his mind since he had met her.

All Krystal can think of is how cute these kids are. She stares right into the eyes of Tessa. "Hello my name is Krystal." But then it is interrupted by the announcement for dinner. She to overheard the girlfriend comment but has never really thought of it. Balus is a fine specimen of a man but she has never even had that thought of anything that way so is taken aback by the whole statement. Still that whole feeling is covered up by the self consciousness that is occurring from having so many eyes on her. As such she acts properly and puts food on her plate as it is passed around. Realizing she is now also going to be looked on by little eyes instead of the bun she was going to eat she realizes to set a good example and puts a healthy amount on her plate. This way saving an explanation to a young impressionable female that may or may not succeed is saved.
She does know she will regret it.

"I'm not sure what we have to say to each other," Upho was tired of trying to be politically correct, "we haven't spoken since you washed out. Remember? You couldn't handle it. Now you show up here in front of {whatever building they are in front of} and you have something to talk about with me? Whatever it is, I'm not interested. So why don't you take them and go, and I can continue on my way?"
Upho picked up on the implied threat with them extending their weapons. He keeps an eye on them but looks at Krell dead on. He prepares himself incase they decide to attack.

McKay Rogers was headed out for a 24 hour leave. He was told that he'd receive a new assignment when he reported back in the next day. So he cleaned up and pulled on a loose fitting white button up shirt, some tan linen pants and a pair of sandals. As he left the base he looked more like some guy on holiday than a trained spec ops soldier. Well, some guy that looks like a five foot tall lizard man that is. He was just glad he had normal musculature and did have to buy custom clothes.
Rogers was about 50 yards behind Upho when he passed through the base gate but after being stopped by Krell , that distance has been cut to almost nothing.
Just about to pass the aircar, Rogers freezes when he sees the weapons being pulled, his chameleon ability kicks in as he wills himself into mercury form as he blends into his surroundings.

(Balus and Krystal)
The young girl sits down at the table smiling as Giliad tries his best to shake with his brother's big hands. "Naw man, just wondering how it's been. After all, I see you all the time on the billboards."
Balus' parents give a slight throat clearing to get Gil to sit down.
(GM NOTE: is it Tessa? Because in your profile it says Treena)
(Rogers and Fegh)
Rogers, you can see the two big Talus men charge the other man. The third one stands back. "Sorry you couldn't be reasonable, buddy. But then again, your kind rarely is."

Seeing one of the goons pounce to attack, Upho spins to throw a punch at the first attacker and also catch the second with a tail whip.

Krystal can understand the concern of the parents as she too did not like the billboard but will remain quiet on that topic as she already made her comment and need not make Balus feel more uncomfortable. She does decide to change the subject though in an effort to help.
"So that makes me wonder what is was like raising Balus as a child then...." She trails off with one of those evil type grins levelled at Balus.

As Rogers watches the scene play out he realizes that the men from the aircar are trying to abduct Fegh.
In an attempt to stop them, Rogers quickly whips out a pseudopod at each of the attackers feet, trying to trip them up as they rush Fegh.

"Man, don't bring up those stupid billboards." Balus sighed, glancing at his parents. " That's just propaganda crap to get more people to enlist. I didn't do any of the stuff they show on them. In fact I didn't have anything to do with making them."
He shot back a dirty look at Krystal. " Hard on the grocery bill for one thing."

Krystal takes a moment to look up and down Balus, "Well I could guess that just by looking but I was hoping for something else. You know blackmail worthy!" She grins ear to ear and gives a wink. She is not serious about it but thought small talk would be good as she is not used to this type of setting.
