Dira stood in her bedroom, staring at the tidy piles of clothing on her bed. Unlike her day to day life in her quarters, she was actually a rather organized person. Eyeing the formal wear, she tapped her combadge, calling the other person who probably was already packed and ready to go given they were leaving in half an hour. =/\=Myqian to Haven. Did I remind you to pack several formal outfits? From what my mother has said, there are a few events other than the wedding itself.=/\= Her mother was normally a very practical person, but having made to decision to finally remarry she was apparently going all out and celebrating with abandon.

As Zoi finished zipping her bag closed, she smiled at the comm from Dira. She was nervous, going to meet Diras family so she had overpacked. Her bag was large and filled with easily 10 outfits more than she could possibly need. She replied with a sigh, =/\= Yes my love, quite a few. I didn’t know which outfits would look best with yours for the wedding so I packed several options for the wedding and surrounding events. Are you ready?=/\=

=/\=Just about. Have everything and I just need to get it into my bag now. I’ll meet you at the Shuttle Bay.=/\= Dira was gong to have to steel herself for that period of time on Deck 9 but so long as she stayed focus on the purpose of her presence there, it would be fine.

Zoi had never met any of her past relationship partners’ families. She had never let herself get that close or that involved. Usually when her partners suggested meeting the family, she generally let them go shortly after. Dira was different, in so many ways. Zoi was finally allowing herself to be free to pursue something real and connected. Maybe one day, if her mother was having a good day. She could take Dira to meet her. The thought alone scared Zoi but not so badly that she wanted to stop.

A little while later, and on time for their planned departure, Dira shifted the bag on her shoulder and picked up another in her other hand. She made her way to the lower shuttlebay level on Deck 9, stilling the twisting in her stomach as their shuttle came into view. Petty office Limiz was holding a PADD and inspecting the shuttle. They turned and took in Myqian, a faint look of surprise disappearing beneath their smile as they took in the loose purple and bright blue floral dress and sandals she was wearing. “Captain, the shuttle is just about ready for you,” they said.

“Thank you, Kers,” she said, stepping inside and dropping her bag inside before coming back out to wait for Zoi.

The door to the bay slid open and the XO stepped through. Royal smiled at Dira and walked over. “Justt wanted to stop by and wish you safe travels. Oh, and I had a quick question. I do or do not prioritize loss of life support systems over power failures to the spa? I can never keep those two straight.” and he grinned.

She gave him a withering glare. “Listen, smart ass,” Dira said, breaking into a grin, “I better come back to a ship in one piece. A scratch on the paint? Sure, it happens, but no missing parts, not downed systems, and for the love of all that is divine in this galaxy, stay the hell away form subspace bubble m’kay?” As much as they were joking she was also very serious.

Sinclair feigned offense. “Who? Me? What trouble could little ‘ol me get into being in charge of ship like this with no adult supervision?” and then he grinned. “But I’ll keep it one piece. You go and have fun and relax a bit. Enjoy the wedding.” He smiled and turned to walk back the way he came. As he did, he turned and walked backwards so he could face her. “And technically, if we are crushed by a black hole… we are still in one piece!” and he smiled and turned and waved over his shoulder as he walked out of the shuttle bay.

Dira shook her head and stepped back into the shuttle, leaving the ramp open as she did pre-flight checks. Was she nervous about leaving the ship? Yes. Did she trust her crew? Very much yes. But it was still hard to be leaving for more than just a day or two. This was a bigger journey.

Just as Sinclair exited, Zoi walked past him. “Had to have a last word with the Captain? Try not to get into too much trouble, will you Sinclair?” She grinned and winked as she walked past to join her love.

For the trip, she wore a simple warm rust colored silk camisole with a long silk skirt that flowed around her feet cinched low on her waist by a dark brown macrame belt. Her hair was down, the cascade of loose blonde curls laying down her back. She tossed her bag next to Diras and took a seat at the controls.
