Occlus has a very, very happy (and immensely eager to please) pet to do whatever she wants with, it seems.

Her favorite kind.

It is a good thing they have a day before the others return.

A day seems to be barely enough to worship her Mistress in.

Still, Ani can manage coherency and propriety by the time their alts show back up. Mostly. Even if she still feels like she's floating.

Occlus makes sure she's arranged to show off her new collar.

The Keres acknowledges this with a raised brow.

Mmmmmmm yes she is fully behind this plan. (Teasing her alts will probably be a lot more fun when there's more of them around.)

Naraka has so many questions about Anakin's life now. Including 'how are we alts.'

...Also 'is that as hot as it looks.'

...Possibly Naraka should ever do some introspection.

"Ready to go?"

"We should collect my son - but, I do believe yes." She glances up at Occlus. "Mistress?"

"Indeed." She stands and gestures for her pet to do the same.

She rises, obediently, and pokes Luke for his current location.

Collecting him's easy enough, at least.

And then back through Naraka's portal, to Ellayania's world.

"Welcome back. I see we have new guests. Greetings. I am Ellayania."

She smiles. (Feeling - the lightning sort of person, she supposes - everywhere is rather interesting.) "Greetings." She inclines her head lightly, smiling. "This is my Mistress, Occlus, and my son, Luke Skywalker. I'm Anakin Skywalker - or just Ani, really."

She orients herself to Occlus's individual Force signature briefly, then, "I apologize for any abruptness, but - I have resurrecting someone as a high priority. Still, Luke is able to stay and talk."

"Nice to meet you," Luke says, smiling as well. (He seems to be the same sort of person as Naruto, actually, if significantly more - distantly so, perhaps, than how Naraka and Tentou are the same person.)

(And - it's more obvious with Luke - but Anakin is herself a bit distant from the other crows.)

"I will not keep you, then. If the Keres will show the way to the temple, I will send my avatar to speak with Luke."

"Sure." She gives Naraka a quick kiss. "This way, then."

Luke follows.

Naraka smiles at her girlfriend, then opens a portal into the world they're getting their resurrections from.

Setting things up is quick enough... (Naraka won't be in the room with them.)

"Thanks."

Does Occlus want to stay with Ani for this - ?

(Possibly they should have discussed that earlier.)

Hug.

"Do you feel like you need the support?"

Hug.

"I - in some ways, but... I can feel you through our bond. Always." Lean. "And also it might be - complicating. To have you there at first."

"Very well." She presses a kiss to the top of her pet's head and strokes her hair. "I'll be just outside."

Nuzzle.

"Thank you, Mistress. I love you."

"I know you do, pet."

And she leaves the room.

And she settles in to wait for the spells to be cast, for Elesse to wake up...
