City of Barterus, Celeste's estate, one week later
The news had finally settled in, or at least most of it. So far, only Everett knew apart from Lukas and she couldn't wait to finally see the latter again. In fact, she was overly excited since the sun had risen this morning and she had used the early hours to make some final preparations for his arrival. She couldn't wait to show him around on the planet they had conquered a whole while ago, from the Cauldron, where it all started, to all the special places she had discovered in the midst of the wide desert. She was, however, even more excited to show him all the things she had build up so far because the progress was hard to deny anymore, and even though the planet was still rather hostile with the dry terrain and the hot Rattataki sun was a lot to take in, she wanted to let him experience what her current home looked like.
It was a good thing that there were no external signs of her special cirumstances visible yet. Thus, she didn't have to tell anyone about it. All she had to do was staying away from drinks, but they rarely ever had alcohol here anyway and there were no pressing issues on her agenda. She had spent the days tending to her usual business, before she had negotiated some new trade agreements that would sooner or later benefit them. Her people knew that she would expect a guest soon, but she had shared them the details to avoid unnecessary commotion. "You want me to kiss his ass?", Everett had sarcastically asked her but she hadn't given him more than an eye roll as a reply as they had discussed this before and she knew that apart from his regular resentment he had shown himself willing to at least trying to get to know him better so that it would be easier for him to trust the Jedi. "Sure. Actually I've been thinking about giving you two some time tonight...perhaps a men's night out" she had, however, teased him back as it came to her mind and the look on his face was indeed priceless. It was a joke, but Celeste would not lose faith in the case. Perhaps, they'd even become friends sooner or later. Or perhaps it was it was wishful thinking but a truce was okay now anyway. A genuinely happy smile was on her lips as she approached the landing pad where she expected Lukas to land soon while Everett's last growl amused her strongly.
