Walking over Ryley leaned on his cane and raised his eyebrows. He didn’t make eye contact nearly stared at his fathers back out of ear shot as they were. “What?” He asked.

Mardusk interposed his bulk between Ryley and his parent’s blocking the view in each direction. In a carefully lowered voice he said “You okay, Doc? This doesn’t seem to be the happy-happy-joy-joy family reunion. I can always pull the fire alarm if you need an out, you know… And I have more beer.”

Ryley seemed slightly amused at the concern. He gave a weak smirk. “ Happy happy joy joy isn’t exactly my family type. We are more the painfully awkward my father hates me my mother is in the middle sort of family. So thanks for the offer but I’ll offload them shortly and it’ll be fine.” He said seriously.

“Copy that, Doc. But if you need the fire alarm, the code word is ‘Lemongrass’.” he said with a grin. Turning he looked at Ryley’s parents. “Ma’am it was indeed a pleasure to meet you. I hope you and Admiral Retired Obviously have a safe trip back to your Retired Obviously home… wherever that may be.” Turning back to Ryley, he said simply “Catch up to ya later, Doc.” and made his way to the Lounge doors.

Ryley gave a small smile and shook his head once. His mother smiled widely as she was addressed. “The pleasure was all mine, thank you for the chance to chat, I hope you have a nice evening,” she watched him go and turned to Ryley said “well he was a nice young man.”

Ryley rolled his eyes, “Stop doing that.” He said sitting back down by the older woman.

She feigned confusion. “What, can’t a mother be happy her son has at least a colleague to talk to.” She asked. “Come on Alexx.”

Before Ryley could reply his father was at their sides again. “Alexxander do you intend to keep us cooped up here for the next hour or so before our transport returns or do we at least get a tour of the ship?”

Without a word Ryley stood and cast a glance at his mother who finished her tea and followed. “This way.” He said evenly and led them out of the lounge.
