She traipsed to the door, her gauzy skirt of her dress floating about her. She shot Roger a withering look, making him smirk as she opened the door. She stepped to the side and gestured. “Good day, Séan,” Eela said with more ease than he had probably seen in any of their interactions thus far.

Séan smiled in greeting and entered into Eela’s apartment.

Behind Eela, standing in the hallway at the entrance of the foyer was a tall Human male, who was older, probably around Eela’s age. He had red hair and a beard that had gone about half white. He was dressed in grey slacks and pale green sweater. “I’ll go make myself scarce,” he declared, moving into the foyer to stand at the coat closet a few feet from Eela.

She smirked. “You don’t have to.”

He laughed. “Perhaps, but then you have zero excuses.”

Eela shook he head and gestured between the two men. “Séan Iven, Roger Kellen. Roger, Séan.”

Roger reached out his hand to Iven. “It’s good to meet you. And kudos and commiserations. She’s a lot of work, this one. Trust me I know,” he said with a conspiratorial wink.

Eela just laughed, clearly not offended.

Séan took the offered hand and gave it a firm gripped shake while he minded his strength. “Good to meet you as well Roger. I’m happy to put in the work. Eela is worth the effort.”

Counselor Iven

Eela just snorted her amusement and flicked her hands in the direction of the door. “Go on,” she said to Roger. “And keep your Admirally self out trouble, you hear.”

Roger grabbed his leather coat from the closet and grinned. “But I thought you said you’d be the one to bail me out.” She gave him a withering look that made him laugh. “Have fun.” He slipped out the door.

She shook her head and gestured for Séan to follow her to the kitchen. She led him through the hallway opposite the foyer which was filled with framed images that documented the six decades and of Dasca’s life. Family, friends, three quadrants of travel- the highlights of much of her life where there. Though not everything. Nothing from her wedding but the other images on display were also deeply important, like those of all her grandparents and her late parents, or her promotion ceremony when she made Captain.

In the kitchen Eela set the water to boil. “Coffee, tea? Water? I also have a juice concoction I made earlier.”
