“Let’s get something to eat.” Capall said and he walked with her out of the stables.

Five Months Later....

=/\= Lord and Lady McKenzie to the Bridge, please. =/\= the voice of the ship’s captain said over the comms. The last three weeks had been the busiest time for the Clan since their on-boarding. Preparations were being made to disembark onto their new home: Oed V. They had been training, practicing, and preparing for this event every day for months on end. Some were resistant, and they would be departing Oed to go back to Earth just as some who had originally declined the opportunity were now making their way from the traditional Clan lands on Earth to the (hopefully not for much longer) barren land of Oed V.

Capall looked at Runa and said “Well… this is it, my lady. Are you ready?” He was dressed in his formal great kilt and looked every bit the Scottish Lord that he was. It had taken time for him to adjust to the new role in the Clan hierarchy; and it took some others time to adjust tohim in the role as well. Bu those… ‘conversations’… had been had; and now it was time for Lord and Lady McKenzie to make their first formal contact with the Oedian government.

Runa was dressed in traditional Nordic style. Underdress, apron dress, belt, broaches, but instead of her cape, she wore a tartan shawl of McKenzie colors. “You know it really should be Mike and Revna doing this, but I swear if they aren’t waiting at the hatch…” she let the words trail off as she tucked her hand onto Capall’s arm. “I’m ready. Let’s go see about our new home, Lord McKenzie.” She stretched up slightly and kissed him, “For luck, and for later.”
