/\/Gotcah.See you in a bit.\/\

\/\Ok\/\

*enters and a small smile appears on her face as she sees her nephew*

Hi Jo'tra...can I - can I hold him?Co'bal?

*vlad starts to stir, Jo'tra picks him up and hands him to Lorelei*

<*considers having the child scream loudly and have a tantrum.... still considering....*>

*cradles Vlad in inexperienced arms*

Hey little guy,hey.*voice wobbles*You're so perfect.*looks up at the others*He's got Anie's eyes.

*nods to them both*

well I have business else where, if you will excuse me...

*starts to walk out*

Lorelei don't forget to visit my parents memorial

*leaves*

So Lorelie, he's your nephew, what do you want his future to be

~~I won't forget,Jo'tra.I'll never forget.~~

I - um - *swallows*Hard as it for me to admit,I didn't - that is,me and Anie - we didn't have that great a relationship the last well,year or so...hell,never mind the last year.The last 20 years,more like it.

*looks down at Vlad*

We argued the last time we spoke...we always argued.All I ever wanted was to make peace with her...

*blinks furiously*

You were her friend.What d'you think she'd have wanted...when she wasn't running around killing the families of her friends?

He's very strong in the force, I think he should go to the academy, when he's old enough he should make his choice then, Puppet must be made to understand when he is old enough he should be allowed to make up his mind what he wants to do with his life, he is welcome here with me and Craxus, there is a home for him on Naboo if he wants

*Gives Loreli a data pad*

When he is of age give him this, it is everything I could find about his family, his heretige, the people who loved him and his choices about what to do next.

Do you think this is the right thing to do?

I...I have friends on Naboo as well.Counsillor Illium and his wife...I want to give him the choice,I really do.But I'm not sure how receptive Master Puppet may be to letting him go if he - wants a normal life.

*looks up,as if searching for answers*

The Anie I knew would've wanted him to have a normal childhood,have what she,we never had.

I don't know what to do!

If it's a normal life you want for him, take him to the palace on Naboo, my sister will look after him, then he can make up his mind what he wants to do

Your sister...

*frowns*

No offense,Co'bal,but I don't really know you.Or your sister.I'd - I guess I'd feel better if I knew the kind of people he'd be going to...like Meta.I know her.

He's you're nephew, but my family are on Naboo and are high up in the palace court

*Hands over a datapad*

This is them and their addresses on Naboo, if you of Vlad need anything go to them

<*lurks* *remembers she could be a ghost if she wanted, but anoon advoided lori in life... why change now?*>

Thanks.But - I think I'll keep them in reserve,if you don't mind.Meta says she owes me one.

Ok, but they will be there if you need them

*Tickles Vlad*

See you little fella, it's up to Auntie to prod you along the right path now
