//Tal’kaela’s parents did NOT approve of her friendship with the senators at all.  Her mother didn’t like the idea of her little uhlan daughter being in such close contact with anyone of political importance this early on in her military career.  She feared it would make Tal’kaela a target for blame if and when the senators disappeared.  Besides this, she has a special hatred for the Tal Shiar, so she was especially displeased about Tal’kaela becoming so close with the Vice Chairman.  She knows her daughter, and was afraid that Tal’kaela would get sucked into a twisted game of cat and mouse and end up stripped of her title, dead, or worse.  As for her own opinion of the senators and their politics, she was more tolerant of Letant than Vreenak, but she had a grudging respect for both of them.  She was always extremely careful about voicing her personal opinions about their politics.

Tal’kaela’s father, like her mother, was concerned that harm would end up coming to Tal’kaela, but he was also concerned that they would “corrupt” her. He didn’t like the idea of his idealistic daughter becoming apathetic or callous.  Although another part of him had to admit that she could, potentially, learn from them if everything went well, but he highly doubted that it would and would much rather she learn from someone safer.  He believed both Vreenak and Letant to be good senators, from what he could tell, but he was always hesitant to form solid opinions on political figures.

Tal'kaela uttered a heavy sigh and felt a familiar stab of grief in her side.

I miss him too.  Very much.

Tal'kaela sat tense in front of her screen as she read the message over and over.  It starts… She knew that after Vreenak’s death, rumors would spread and accusations would arise, but despite the fact that she had done her best to mentally prepare herself, she wasn’t prepared for the gut wrenching feeling this question gave her.  She took a deep breath and carefully formulated her response.

From what I recall, it was never unusual for senators to go missing or fall victim to accidents.  But yes, it is indeed a coincidence.

Tal’kaela stared at the message on her screen, finding an anxiety gripping her.  Was this a joke?  Was it a Tal Shiar agent trying to get something out of her?  Or, by some chance, was this some kind of wild invitation…?  She stared at the message with her fingers hovering over her keyboard before tentatively replying:

Perhaps someday if the opportunity ever presents itself.

//I never would have guessed, no! When I created her character, I created her to desperately seek (positive) attention and approval from her superiors.  When she got what she wished for, she was about as surprised as I was. =P
