"Mum!"
"Dad!"
The solid grey doors slid apart with a hiss and a clunk.
Long locks of golden brown hair chased, whipping along behind its eager owner.
"Mum!"
"Dad!"
"SLOW DOWN!" Came the abrupt gravely voice of her mother as she turned to cast her gaze over the eager child. Thick dark coffee, hot and steaming lapped at the rim of a well loved cup.
"Constance..." huffed the cups owner as a near disaster was avoided. "...weres the Borg!?"
Mother and daughter exchanged knowing smiles, love and admiration flowed freely between the pair as her question went unanswered.
"Mum...Nelix and I have been talking-"
"No...whatever it is...No!" Sated mum fraining annoyance. "You and Nelix mean trouble for me!" she held up her hand hoping to stop what was more than likely an wayward idea being broadcast.
"Mum...you know I love you..." a cheaky grin spread across the child's face, a grin well versed in getting its own way. Once the dipples emerged it was game over. "Mum...don't you think it would be great if..." Kathryn's lit eyes flittered over to the amused man on the sofa who sat patiently watching the scene unravel, hiding a grin behind his own steaming cup as his daughter made her play for her mothers more malleable side.
