New Chapter: Bo

One of these days, Sharrevaliir and his heart-brother would remember that an adult pegasus was not, actually, the best minder for a half-human child.

Boesild was only just hitting the gangly growth spurt that would likely have him towering over his father in due time.

The colt with him and Sharr's own pegasus, was just as gangly, nowhere near the more solid lines of a pegasus who had the right to choose to be away from their dam.

He wasn't being given a chance to disapprove, though, as Meryvin was nickering encouragingly, and Bo had the solid set of jaw and shoulders that said he was going to defend his actions.

"Where's the dam?" Sharr asked, choosing the less confrontational road.

"He doesn't have one any more," Bo told his father. "The herd was taking care of him." Meryvin tossed his head in agreement, and Sharr softened a bit. "Alright. But don't be surprised if Methri is a little odd; you're younger than he is, and he hasn't even gone to see if he can make a friend."

"I know. And I will not be a pest to him over it," Bo promised.

"Alright, let's go see if Mama has grains to be used for mashes, since he's so young." Sharr smiled at his son, and laid a hand on his shoulder as they went to do that, leaving the colt with Meryvin for now.





It was Korvallen in the kitchen when he heard a very suspicious sound in the main room of the family home. He had been apprised of Bo befriending a colt. He'd even decided that it was just as inevitable as Sharr fathering more children than Corellon Himself. What he did not expect was to step back into the room to see Bo coaxing the colt through the door.

"Bo." He kept his voice low, using the avuncular tone that he had so much practice with thanks to Elué and Charic both.

"Uncle?"

"Pegasi do not sleep in trees. Not even tree homes."

"But he might get scared without me!"

Kor met the boy's eyes from across the span of the room before answering. "Then you have to sleep where he sleeps, not the other way around."

Bo considered. Technically, if they remained directly under the tree's branches, he was allowed to be on the ground, and Meryvin would be with them.

"Yes, uncle."

Kor returned to his work in the kitchen, and only glanced back in when he heard Methri helping move something — a thing that turned out to be Bo's mattress. He smiled to himself and decided Sharr's boys were a law unto themselves, as always.

Sam is waiting for UNIT's adviser.



Expert on Loan

Sam Carter didn't quite know what to expect as she waited for a so-called civilian adviser at an upper level of the base. She was still not fully in the loop concerning recent alliances with a paramilitary and scientific project out of the United Kingdom that called themselves UNIT. That the two groups had agreed, provisionally, to assist one another in research about alien encounters was good enough for General Landry to extend courtesy of the base to this adviser.

An airman finally brought the adviser to her, and Sam had studied the woman as she walked in. Mature, short hair, functional but feminine outfit and make-up as well as shoes that wouldn't break her neck if she started running was a good start. The woman gave a smile that Sam could only term as 'professional' to the airman, before sizing Sam up with knowing eyes.

"Tegan Jovanka, and you're Sam Carter. You're my liaison here, and I've been asked to work with you on deciphering petroglyphs from the Outback. Warning you now, I don't much care for ranks and military nonsense," she said firmly. "Kate's father was about the only one I ever respected enough to grant his rank to him."

Sam laughed, even as she ran that against what she had been told of this partnership. This woman had to mean the head of that project, as it had been more militaristic under the current leader's father.

"Some people will be testy about it, but not me. I only insist with jackass men that just see a pair of tits," Sam said, going for informal and brassy… and felt the other woman shift gears, the smile becoming something more real and warm.

"A good way to do it," Tegan told her. "Let's go get me settled, then work!"

Summary:

Amanda is reviewing the data, and planning.



Plans for Reconciliation

It was not, she decided for her own sanity, a matter of pride. Pride implied emotion, and Sarek was a man who never, ever let emotion rule his life. Amanda's mouth almost twitched into a smile, remembering their courtship, and how carefully controlled he had been, belying that 'fact' of her husband's existence.

Given that Sarek was firmly wedded to the concept of the Federation, a bastion of support as more systems were explored and invited to join them, it was not that aspect causing this fracture of family unity.

She was certain that Sarek had merely mapped out a logical path of progression for their son, and was struggling with the consequences of Spock choosing a different path. The echoes of his first son had no doubt pushed him to look at himself, placing blame there, even as he rejected Spock's choices as illogical.

Blame was another emotionally tinged word, less clinical than 'fault' or 'error', and yet Amanda did have some awareness of her husband's need to seek perfection in all things. To have a second child reject the clear path ahead was a data point too many in Sarek's calculations of the universe.

It could also, she conceded, be that Spock's choice of Starfleet, not aboard a Vulcan science vessel, would put their son in the path of having to choose violence, something her husband rejected deeply. He fully embraced Surak's teachings, and saw force of arms as a barbaric necessity at best.

Amanda would have to carefully follow Spock's career, as the deeds he would perform came to light, so that when — and she knew eventually it would happen — Sarek capitulated to the choice, she could show him their son's commitment to avoiding violence as much as possible.

Yes, she would do that, for their reconciliation.
