Posted by Civilian Jordar (Director of Building and Construction) in A new start and for once he wasn’t getting shot at
Jordar was pacing the hall of his flat, nothing special to most but it was who lived there that was fantastic. Rondara was with him, his half Zaldan half Orion daughter that was the light of his world, the star of his night, and who he hadn’t seen for the past 5 years. That photo was still on his desk, the two of them with her beaming at him, the ‘merc’ as he was known just a softie with his little girl. She called down the hall “Dad it’s time to go!” and he snapped out if it, “Of course, I hear you’re giving Ms. Karina lots of trouble?” His daughter nodded as he smiled, “Good, she deserves it”.

As the bright 7 year old beamed he scooped her up and spun her around before saying, “Alright, socks, shoes, and out the door.” He went to grab a cup of coffee while his daughter finished getting ready and met her outside in the bright sun. They walked hand in hand towards the school building where he ducked his head inside and winked to Karina, “I’ll see you later?” Before he saw Rondara off playing with her friends.

Karina waved at Rondara, just like she did the other children, as she ran past eager to go play with the other children. Rondara was a bright child, smart, and had made great leaps in her education gap while on Delotha, and that had shown no signs of changing here. Karina adored her and it was hard to keep her distance until things settled. Rondara gave her no end of trouble, but at the same time Karina was delighted to see her grow.

She flashed Jodar a quick smile and nodded. “I’ll bring her home.” Jodar was supposed to call and say he had to stay at work and Karina would take her home. It would allow them to have reason to talk. They had no idea if they were being watched so it was better to be cautious. Karina stood in the doorway watching the children until the bell rang.
