They stepped out a minute later and approached Fen’s desk. Jeanette was dressed slightly casually in tan slacks, a light blue sweater and a simple black blazer in a soft material that was left open. it was comfortable for travelling but still made her look put together. Her long bright blond hair hung loose.

Jones was dressed in black slacks and a dark green turtleneck sweater, his piercing pale blue eyes scanning the floor critically. He had thick, wavy dark brown hair streaked with silver and short trimmed beard.

Inside Hyrushi’s office, they had received the notification that Mathis and Jones were on their way up. Eela sat in a chair in the sitting area they often conversed in (more friendly than at his desk) and she uncrossed the leg from her knee. “Well, here we go. Whatever happens, we’ve got precious little time to work it all out, and I know her record, so I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.”

~Eela Dasca, Lt. Gov.

Kenzo’s face remained impassive and neutral, but he said “I will reserve my opinion until after we have our meeting. But I hope she meets your expectations, at least. That will give us at least a small something to work with.”

In the reception area, Dorma Fen greeted the two individuals with aplomb and courtesy. “Madame Ambassador, welcome. Mr. Jones, a pleasure. The Ho error and Lieutenant Governor are waiting inside. Please-” and the large, tall wooden doors to the Governor’s office swung outward, “- do go in. And if I can be of assistance, just let me know.” and she gestured to the now-open doorway.

“Thank you,” Jeanette said with a bow of her head.

Jones leaned over slightly and gave Fen a smile. “I look forward to working together. Please do forward anything that needs to come our way through me and I’ll make sure it’s seen to.”

Inside, Hyrushi rose as the doors opened. He was dressed in a dark gray silk suit with a dark green vest and shirt. His hair, as usual, was long and straight down his back. “Madame Ambassador, welcome. May I introduce Captain Eela Dasca, the colony’s Lieutenant Governor. And I am Kenzo B’tren-Hyrushi, Governor. Please do be seated.” and he gestured to the open seats on the couch and the other unoccupied chair.

Hyrushi, Governor

Mathis offered a sincere smile. “Thank you. I’d like to introduce you both to my attaché, Dashiel Jones.”

Dash bowed his head to both Hyrushi and Dasca. “I’m honoured to be here for such an important time,” he said to the Governor. He shifted his attention to Eela and smiled. “And ma’am, it’s a pleasure to meet you again. Your reputation precedes you. Good things, of course.”

Dasca couldn’t help the snort that escaped. “I’m glad you clarified. Depending on who you talk to, that reputation could be a varied thing, especially lately.” She also couldn’t help mirroring his smile as there was something infectious about it.

They both took a seat.

Mathis gazed at the two people she most needed to build a rapport with. “I would like to start by offering my sincerest apologies. I was assigned to this situation rather last minute and given only partial information. A situation I have since addressed and proceeded to fix. But that is no excuse for how things went down with Ambassador Kek. While it was on the surface a positive conversation, I am very aware that mistakes have been made in regards to Oed and the level of consultation that should have occurred but did not. I cannot change that, so all I can offer is my apologies and my promise that going forward I will be working with you. We are content to let you take the lead. I am here to offer my assistance however I can, but you two are the leaders of this planet and the one people will be looking to for guidance about how to react to the Vren. I know I have to earn people’s trust here and that takes time we might not have. So all I ask is for you to believe me when I say that I am here with the best of intentions and there will be more communication in advance going forward.” At her core, Mathis was a straight-shooter, so she hoped her sincerity came through both her words and emotions.

There was no dissembling. Just honesty and more than a touch of humbleness that was not in anyway put upon. “I believe you,” Dasca said, as much for Kenzo’s benefit as their guests’. “We’ll have a hard enough time convincing the colonists that this is a good thing without external variables thrust upon us without our consideration.”
