She just gazed at him with a nonchalant expression on her face. It was just a plain fact that his subtle or not so subtle threats and general crankiness had no effect on her. Too many Links with him had made her immune to it. “Uh huh. You know she’ll probably be mad at me too once she realizes all this is connected, right?” Relann leaned in. “So, what’s our self-defence mechanism here? I’m going to guess avoidance won’t work at all.”

He sighed, “Well we just won’t tell her will we. Solves that issue,” he said seriously and drank more coffee. “We don’t talk about it and comment on her hair? I don’t know, there’s a reason I don’t talk to my parents often. I never know what to say to them.”

There were lots of things that Relann knew and understood about Ryley that they simply didn’t speak about. After all, through Links they had seen parts of each others lives that they rarely spoke about with others. Only Jacen knew more than Ryley did about her. And if there was one topic they simply never discussed, it was his father. However, his reference to my parents made her tilt her head and gaze at her friend intently. “Do… you think she’ll be coming alone?” she asked carefully.

Ryley rolled his eyes. “Doubt it wherever she goes there he is. Besides he never could pass an opportunity to give me a telling off or see me embarrassed up. Not if it gave him a chance to compare my failures as an officer and as a son to his spotless career and promotion record.” He tapped his cane and pulled at the neck of his uniform again as if it were throttling him. “No. If The Admiral can come here and do that then he will. God I hate these things” he muttered.

“Why do you care?” she said softly. “I mean, after all this time and all you have accomplished, why does it matter if he approves or not? Or is this”-she gestured in a circle to his outfit-“a survival mechanism while they are here. I mean, I would get it if it was, but the Alexxander Ryley I know doesn’t need approval from anyone.” It would normally be at this point that Relann would be kicked out, except that he had come to her office, and he also knew that she’d stick by him through whatever this ended up actually being.

Ryley scowled darkly at the woman before him and considered either up ending the entire contents of his remaining coffee onto her and storming out or hitting her with the cane by accident he took a deep calming breath instead.

“Survival mechanism, purely to save me the headache it’s better than the happy hypo solution especially since…you know the whole narcotics thing,” he waved his hand in a similar circular motion to hers. “And I don’t care…” he added and his scowl darkened. “I don’t.”
