It had been a slow and steady exchange of messages as Eela had gotten her family settled into their apartment downstairs and then took the time she needed to steady herself before tonight.

A hair stylist and makeup artist had left a short while ago and she was still in her robe, though her stylist had secured the dria. She had a few minutes before she needed to get into her gown and Caridee was going to come up to help. Last she heard there was a cranky baby they were dealing with and she was really hoping this evening would be enjoyable for her daughter and son-in-law.

She found herself pacing and laughed aloud. Moving to her bedroom, she sent another message to Karilan: Call me? I’m apparently nervous about tonight and waiting for Caridee to come up to help me with my gown isn’t helping. I’m pacing. Please distract me.

~Eela

It was less than a minute when the comms chirped =/\= Nervous? You? Whatever for? =/\= the face in the screen said with a grin. =/\= Is it because of the dashing Mr. Jones, perhaps? Or is it that if you screw this up you will forever be known as ‘that’ politician?” Karilan said with a laugh.

Karilan

Eela laughed as she settled into the overstuffed armchair in the corner of her bedroom. It allowed her to look out the window at the far corner of her patio and the skyline beyond it. She settled the screen on the side table and leaned back into the chair, tilting her head up. =/\=Worse, I’ll be the Starfleet captain that screwed things up for Oed.=/\= She looked down at the screen. =/\=The populace will certainly have something to say about that. Though perhaps we can just go ahead and say that it’s because I’m hoping to make quite the impression when I enter tonight. This gown I told you about before… I never thought I’d be so excited to wear a garment outside of my Starfleet uniform. It just tells me that I should have been going to far more formal parties in my life,=/\= she said with a laugh.

~Eela

Bump

=/\= Orrrrr… you should have had particular guests that made you want to wear such garments. =/\= Karilan said with a wicked grin. =/\= Now then… enough about the dashing Mr. Jones. Tonight is going to be fine, Eeela. You and Hyrushi have done a marvelous job organizing this. The stage is set, the guests are primping and prepping, and the curtain is about to go up. Tell me… are you ready to walk out there and show them what Eela Dasca is made of? =/\=

Karilan

Eela inhaled deeply, her eyes alit. =/\=You know what? I am. In a way I didn’t expect to be.=/\= She leaned forward in the armchair. =/\=He might be many curse words combined, but the day Cory showed up, he did me a huge favour. He showed me how much I had been holding myself back, making myself smaller, and the moment he grabbed me he forced me to toss all of that away. I’m not saying I have a lot figured out, but I feel more myself than I have in a very long time. If I even knew before. And Karilan? It’s a wonderful feeling,=/\= Eela said with a beaming smile. =/\=And best of all, for the first time Caridee gets to see me actually in action. She grew up with a Starfleet Captain as a mother but she wasn’t watching me work. She usually saw me after I was off-duty. And tonight she gets to who her mother has always been and that if nothing short of a gift.=/\=
