Questions and Pride

Sarek watched Saavik as she explained her family. He suppressed a pleased smile. He almost wished he could have allowed Amanda to adopt this little one.

"I am by tradition and law an adult in Vulcan society. I may speak at council though a wise person of my age listens. Formal maturity is obtained when one reaches 50 standard years. However due to our association with The Federation we may vote in the Federation at21 standard years and join a university at 18 standard years or 17 with parental permission." Saavik explained.

The President started at this news as did Admiral Kirk. Well that explains a lot. Kirk thought.

Sarek should she be explaining all of this? Amanda sent. What about the privacy laws?

Amanda it is not a state secret and It is out. It may be of use to Vulcan. Some things should have been explained long ago. Sarek returned as he looked at his son.

The president squirmed as did the other humans. Lord no wonder he was pissed when Spock entered Star Fleet he was just a baby by Vulcan standards.

Really Sarek that is just …. Oh you. We will discuss this latter. Saavik does our house proud.

Indeed my wife she will make a fine daughter. Sarek sent.

Amanda started and looked at Sarek. You promised.

I have not bonded them Amanda at least not yet. I have every hope My son will see the Logic and seek it on his own.

Amanda rolled her eyes and then looked down to hide a smile.

"I took my Kashwan and passed in in my second attempt." Saavik explained as she answered the classes questions.

"Why tow time Saavik?" Johnnie asked. "You are strong and agile."

"I helped the others cross that was not allowed and … I captured a Leymath before it could hurt the others. Again not allowed."

"You did what!" Mc Coy said jumping to his feet. He looked at Spock "Are you crazy? You let her take on one of those things alone?"

"Of course not doctor. Puppy was with her as Il Cheya was with me." Spock replied.

James Kirk looked at his lifelong friend and decided he was crazy. There was no logic to that. However he said nothing. The dog was big but a year ago it had been not fully grown. A real puppy. He sighed. Vulcans for all their logic scared him at times with their ruthless streak.

"The presentation is over. May I make my seat?" Saavik asked calmly.

"Of course." Principle Skinner choked out. "Well done Saavik."

This child is ….this Saavik will be a leader for certain. We must have her for Starfleet. I will suggest it to James Kirk. The president mused. No way I want her in politics….She would capture the Romulans and Klingons single handedly. Lords help us all.
