“Everyone will get a chance to hear you play, Mr. Songz. And a true gift it is to the crew. Thank you.” Cochrane said. He looked at Kel and said “I was just getting ready to take my seat, Mrs. Songz. Would you grant me the honor of escorting you to your chair?” and he offered her his arm. It was blatantly obvious that he had not been intending any such thing… but ever the gentleman.

“Oh!” Kel said, gazing at Cochrane. “Very well then,” she said. Sal kissed her cheek and dropped his arm, allowing the captain to help his wife sit. Kel took his arm and as they moved, she leaned heavily on the cane, doing her best to move with the grace and dignity her body did not seem to want to grant her.

Cochrane walked slowly and deliberately to the row of chairs reserved for the family of their musical guest. He helped Kel be seated in such a way that it didn’t seem like help; and then he said “Now then, as to refreshments Madame… you have access to anything. So what shall I get for you this evening?”

Settled as comfortably as she could, Kell gazed up at Alex and actually offered a small smile. “I can smell the ekal Sair made. A cup of that would be lovely, but as I have been reminded of lately, it a a big galaxy adn there are many things I’ve not experienced. If there is something you think I should absolutely try at last once, I’ll try that. Thank you, Captain.”

Shedda shared a grin with Sair. The captain was an enigma and a contradiction, until you got to know him. Then everything he did never surprised you. You may not expect it, but not surprised. “We are all looking forward to ot, Mr Songz. Koro,” she winked at the child, “has told me all about the amazing music you play.”

Sal grinned and placed a hand on his grandson’s head. “Ahh, well, Koro has been one of my favourite students, much like my daughter was,” he said, casting a fond glance at Sair.

“And we’re going to-” Koro began, excitedly bouncing on his toes.

“Shhh!” Sair said with a conspiratorial gleam in her eyes before touching her index finger to her lips. “It’s a secret, remember?”

Koro gave a solemn nod and placed a finger to his own lips. “Right, it’s a secret,” he whispered, causing his mother and grandfather to laugh.

Shedda chuckled softly as well and pretended like she didn’t hear a thing. “I am looking forward to hearing your suran play. I think I’ll grab a seat before the good ones are taken.” She turned to Fayth, “Care to join me, Cmdr?” she asked as she grabbed her drink off the bar and headed toward the gathered seating.

“Of course,” Eilah replied politely, grabbing his own drink and following Shedda to the seating. “Over there is going to be best, I think.”

Sair pointed Koro over to the seats set aside for them in the front and told him to sit with his grandmother. Turning to Sal, Sair took his hand and squeezed it. “Why don’t you get started warming up and I’ll give everyone the five minute warning.”

Sal nodded and leaned in to kiss her cheek.

Moving to the podium at the front, Sair pressed a key on a PADD set up there and a low chime sounded, the way she had heard was common in Federation performances to let people know it was time to find their seats.

OOC: I’ll start the concert on my next post.
