Sample post:
"Calindra, darling..." her mother cooed as she made her way to her daughter and kissed her on both cheeks. To Calindra it had always sounded like she was saying dah-ling; her mother always omitted the 'R' for whatever reason, but she knew it was a mark of affection from her. One she used when she was particularly amused.

"Mother," she said, making a point of accentuating the 'R' in her greeting as she warmly returned her mother's kisses. Her father had manoeuvred next to his wife and opened his arms in his usual warm and cheerful way. She of course buried herself against his chest, revelling in his arms as he wrapped them around her. She felt safe and loved in a way only her father could ever make her feel. She loved the warmth and the smell of him: musky and masculine, with a hint of pipe smoke.

" — are those wisps of grey I see in your beard?!" she teased as he let her go. He feigned a wounded heart, mock dismay crossed his features. Both ladies started laughing.

"Oh, I don't know, Calindra, dear... I rather like old Greybeard. He almost looks distinguished."

"Almost!" Calindra agreed with her, their laughter resounding throughout the room. She saw that her father's ego was sufficiently deflated, so she finally came to his rescue. "Oh..! Don't take it so hard..! We tease those we love!" she quipped before kissing him on the cheek.

"You call that love!" he harrumphed, giving her a stern look as he extended the other cheek and pointed to it intently, waiting for another. Grinning, Calindra humoured him and gave him two more on each cheek.

"There! That should tide you over for the week..!"

"Nonsense! I shall demand restitution every day for the next two months. Jibing your father so..!"

" — but I'm only here a week!"

"Fine, every morning and evening it will be then, and an extra serving at tea."

"Fine then, every morning and evening it will be; with an extra serving at tea," she agreed to the general applause from her mother.

"Oh, well negotiated, dear!" she said, clapping approvingly.

Calindra gave her father a conspiring glance, "Doesn't mother seem especially good humoured tonight, father..? She must be up to something..."

Her mother's gave her a reproachful look, but her father came to his wife's defense.

"Now, now..! Your mother isn't up to anything, Calindra. She's only excited at the guest that came calling just before Vigil."

Calindra looked at her father, cocking her head at him questioningly. She then glanced over to her mother.

"Indeed dear," her mother admitted, "there is an Star Fleet officer in the main hall. He's expressly asked to see you."

"To see me? Here? An officer..? Well now, that explains the topic you were discussing when I interrupted."

"Err... Yes," her father admitted with some gravity before he gruffly waved for the servant. "Would you be so kind as to let the Lieutenant in, will you..? And bring that bottle of whiskey my daughter brought with her."

There was a customary bow before the greying man with the wispy white hair turned around and walked out of the room.

From experience, Calindra knew that beyond the double doors were two more servants waiting for instructions. By now, both had overheard what had been requested, had conferred to determine whom would be fetching their guest, while the other would saunter off to prepare the glasses and whiskey. The old man had only to shut the door behind him and wait discretely in case he was needed.

A silence swept through the room as they waited; her father brooding, Calindra frowning pensively, and her mother... Calindra could feel her excitement, and her eyes settled on her mother. "You know," Calindra ventured, "how would the Star Fleet officer know where to find me? I didn't actually advertise where I was going, or why."

Her mother's eyes met hers, and her father twirled around, noticing the two women staring at each other. Silence weighed heavily between them a moment, and was interrupted by the door opening. "Sir, mesdames, Lieutenant Sigmundus," the old man said as he held the doors open for the young officer.

Everyone observed him as he entered; taking in his insignias and his pristinely pressed uniform, but what jumped out to Calindra was the amount of code cylinders this particular 'Lieutenant' had – far too many for the rank he held. The officer had a handsome beardless face, intelligent blue eyes and blond hair that peaked from under his his cap. In true naval fashion he walked into the room, clicked his heels and saluted. His salute was politely returned by brief nods from everyone else in the room, to which the man's arm was crisply returned to his side.

"Greetings, Lieutenant," Calindra said as she stepped forward to extend her hand in greeting, "please be at ease, we don't stand on ceremony here. My name is Calindra."

"Of course, m'am," he said taking Calindra's hand and giving it a good polite shake, his cheeks burning as he met her eyes.

Calindra suppressed a small knowing smile, and turned to present her parents: "This is my mother and father, the Admiral Anaxagores Hejaran III and Trade Commissioner Tatjana Vigihan Hejaran."

He hesitated a fraction of a second before extending his hand to each of her parents. "Sir, madame," he said reverently, "thank you for seeing me on so short notice."

"No trouble at all," the Admiral assured, "in fact we were just about to have a few drinks. Would you care to join us? You must be parched." At that, one of the servants had entered the room with the bottle of Andoran Whiskey that Calindra had offered her father the day before. It was laid up on a tray with other glasses, which was laid down close to the Baron's chair. The elderly servant took his station behind the serving tray as the younger one left the room, closing the door behind him.

There was a chink and a small clank as the greying servant uncapped the bottle and set a glass upright to add ice.

"Er..."

"Don't give him that nonsense about being on duty, Lieutenant," Calindra stated merrily, "I've been wanting to try that bottle of Andoran whiskey since I got my hands on it."
