Compromise
By: Jeanka
A frown came to his face and the soldier gave him a note. Upon reading it, the frown became deeper. He stood and the entire chamber of high government officials silenced. "I must retire for the evening." He gave them no other explanation before leaving the room. Three soldiers followed closely behind him ever watchful for any danger.
He would have preferred them to remain in the assembly, but they would never have agreed to letting him out of their sight. Stopping in front of his office doors, one bodyguard keyed it open and they posted themselves at the door. The elderly man sat at his desk and activated a holographic communication screen to extent in front of him. A picture of a woman appeared on it and she asked, "Do you wish to send a communication to someone, Ambassador?"
"I apparently received a transmittion from my son. Can you get him for me?" the Ambassador asked. He pushed a button to have the time where his son was displayed for him.
"The Commander did mention that it wasn't urgent," the AI reminded him.
The old face glared at her. "Contract my son," he said with a dangerous tone in his voice. The AI disappeared and a symbol of the Karovan world replaced it. It was the planet he had represented ever since giving up his Ranger Title to his youngest son.
A new face came on the screen. "I didn't mean right away, dad," Andros said. "I could have waited till morning."
His father smiled at him. It had been weeks since Andros had called and due to the time difference on the planets, the Ambassador rarely got the chance to call him back. "I know, but I figured this was the best time. Your team is asleep I presume."
"I wouldn't call you if they weren't," Andros reminded him. The family had agreed that for security reasons no one could know that Andros and Karone were related to them unless the entire family had consensus on who they told.
"So, what do you wish to speak to me about?" the Ambassador asked. It wasn't like Andros to bother him with meaningless affairs.
"Well, actually, it's a girl," said Andros as he turned to the station in front of him. He hadn't expected his father to call back so fast and his was in the middle of a sensor grid repositionment.
The Ambassador raised an eyebrow. "A girl?" he repeated, very curious as to why his son would call him.
"Yeah," replied Andros as he looked up at him. "I want permission to tell her."
The smile vanished and a frown began to appear. This was not a decision that could be made over one call. What Andros was asking for was a family meeting and no one had the time. Plus, they did not know this girl or if she could be trusted. "Zhane wasn't enough?" the Ambassador muttered loud enough so Andros could hear.
"Listen, I know this isn't the best timing, but I really want her to know me. I can't move on in our relationship without telling her," said Andros.
"And how long has this relationship been going on?" the older man asked.
Andros said noting for a moment as he tried to gather the words. They hadn't been dating that long, but they had hit it off and she had told him everything and it wasn't fair to her that he had to hold back. "Earth time or Eltarian?" he asked.
The Ambassador growled. "That doesn't matter. Is she half-eltarian of not?"
"Not," Andros answered sounding almost guilty.
His father sighed. "Son, you'll have to do better then this if you want to be allowed to tell her. What would your mother say?"
"My mother would love her. Ashley is sweet-"
"Ashley?" the ambassador interrupted him at the name didn't know. "Is that her name?"
"Yes, and she's the most-"
"No child of mine will marry a girl from such a sheltered planet. What's its name? Oh, yes. Earth."
Andros could feel the disapproval, but he wasn't going to give up. "Then, what about Karone? Isn't time to tell her?
"That is a question for your mother," the Ambassador said. "Ask her. I want no part in that decision."
There weren't many times that Andros felt like hitting someone other than a monster, but on these rare occurrences, he often found the other person facing him on a view screen. "Maybe she'll know without your approval," threatened Andros fully aware of the danger he was purposing.
"What would you say to a compromise?" the Ambassador asked.
"What are you suggesting?" asked Andros.
"Neither your mother or I have met either of these girl so we cannot make an accurate assessment. However, if she is willing, we'll send Luana to meet them and make our decision on her evaluation."
Andros did his best to not yell out. It was sick to think of Ashley as an elevation, but he knew that was the only way his father would even consider letting him tell her. "Who's going to ask Luana?" Andros asked.
"I will, seeing you're so busy," his father answered. "She'll contract you when she's made up her mind."
Andros nodded sensing the end to the conversation. "I'll contract you when she arrives," said Andros.
"Keep them safe," said the ambassador as he closed the channel. "Or the price will be high."
