*Xan* (temping)
Listening to Xadalyn is so strange. She's fighting my dad for a crown that he's never even said that he wanted. And just last night we were talking about how she's never had a chance to be normal, to have a regular life. But now, watching them, they both look like they do want it, even if dad is advocating sharing. Of course, that would mean that he'd be here on Antar, and I will be, too. I'm not going to let him leave me out of this.
*You're part of this, too, Xan, although I don't know if you want to be.* Dad tells me silently and I feel a bit better, although I don't let it show on my face. This is far too serious.
*Thanks Dad,* I tell him, guessing that he's leaving me out of the conversation just to avoid confusion and creating more issues. Bad enough that she thinks Dad is here to oust her. We don't need her thinking that it's two against one. Or maybe, two against a whole planet -- even if theoretically, Dad is the rightful king.
"Xadalyn, Max doesn't want to fight you... He wants to help, not hinder...he wants to get to know you, if you'll let him...we all do..." Mom says.
I'm trying to decide if I should say anything. I don't want to betray what Xadalyn said to me and I don't want to complicate things by getting involved, but as Dad said, I already AM involved.
"Xada?" I say. Her expression doesn't change but I hope there's some softening of her stance. "I want to know you, too. Isn't there some way we can do that? Maybe you can come with us to Earth -- for just a little while."

Xada
"Xadalyn, Max doesn't want to fight you... He wants to help, not hinder...he wants to get to know you, if you'll let him...we all do..." Liz says but I don't respond then Xan says something completely unexpected.
"Xada? I want to know you, too. Isn't there some way we can do that? Maybe you can come with us to Earth -- for just a little while."
I give him what I'm sure is a strange look. Why in the world would I want to go to Earth. Of course maybe I could get Max to trust me enougth to give me the seal. I finally say. "I suppose I could use a vacation." I say slightly unsure of myself

I look up sharply at Xan's suggestion. It's perfect. We need to spend some time together away from all this -- although I have some doubts as to how Xadalyn is going to fit in around Roswell. Well, we'll just have to teach her to be a normal girl. Give her a piece of the safe childhood she was never allowed to enjoy...
"That will be wonderful," I tell Xadalyn after she agrees. "We can leave Larak and your grandmother in charge for a few more weeks."
It seems natural and I hope Xadalyn agrees. Afterall, Larak had been her regent for years. Surely he could continue for another short while ... unless Xadalyn was still angry at him for recognising me. Of course she doesn't like her grandmother much, either, but I really don't think there's anyone-else I would want to put in that position. Not yet, anyway. I just hope the two of them are strong enough to deal with Nicholas and the Khivar loyalists...

OOC: sorry, I know the ending of this is really... But I really can't think of how to end it better, hope it works...

I think both Max and I are surprised a little as Xab steps forward, although not literally, talking to his sister. He echoes my words about wanting to get to know her, and then, out of no where, he makes a suggestion.
"Maybe you can come with us to Earth -- for just a little while...?"
I blink slightly, unable to hide my surprise and look over at Max who is obviously just as shocked. He likes the idea though, I know he does... I can feel his delight at the prospect of getting to know her, and his hope that she'll accept...
Xada is the one who looks the most uncertain about it all it seems, but then, slowly, she seems to agree, saying that she could use a vacation. Her tone suggests that she's a little nervous, or even wary, but I suppose that's to be expected - she doesn't exactly know us that well, even if Max is her father and Xan's her brother... We're still little more than strangers, add to which the fact that she has all the things that come with ruling a planet to worry about... She may only be eighteen in truth, but I'm sure inside she feels a whole lot older, and I only hope that if she does come, she will truely get the chance to relax as a girl her age should...
I nod slightly as Max voices his support of the plan, although I'm not too sure how well the thought of leaving Adayla in charge will go down... Larek has been close to her though, maybe that will be enough to placate her to the idea... I suppose really that's her choice...or it is Max's... I don't really know where we stand as far as the reigning Monarch at the moment after everything that's happened... To some it's Max I suppose, and to others Xadalyn...
Trying not to think about that for the moment though, I concentrate on the plan which has been raised, and voicing my support, smiling and nodding again. "I agree, I think it's a great idea Xan... Thank you Xada..." It might sound a strange thing to say, to be thanking her for accepting, but in effect, by agreeing, she's giving us what I think we all need most...time...

I'm pleased when Liz again voices her agreement to the plan. I knew she would. She seems to understand me so well, even to having similiar mis-givings about things at times. I send her a burst of love and thankfulness through our connection. I don't know where I'd be without her. She makes everything seem do-able. Even ruling a strange planet and winning over a subborn daughter whom I never knew and is used to getting her own way over everything -- used to being a Queen.
"Wonderful," I agree, turning my attention back to Xadalyn. "I'm looking forward to introducing you to your Aunt Isabel and your cousins -- " I catch myself there, thinking about those unruly but loveable boys. I hope that Xadalyn can handle them.
"How long would it take to arrange for transport or for you to settle your obiligations here?" I ask, knowing that beam probably used a lot of energy and might take some time to set up. I'll be happy to spend a few more days here, especially now that Isabel and Michael at least know where we are. "I'd like to send Justin home tonight, even if you're not able to leave that soon."
