"Honesty Ambassador, I don't know how it could have happened" George apologized as he and Delenn walked down the corridor the next day. "I'm sure the package was clearly marked, but somehow it was delivered to the Narn representative.
"As long as I get them back, I don't mind; these things happen" she said to the package handler as they neared the door where she proceeded to signal.
"Enter" the voice of G'Kar called from inside.
Delenn entered the quarters of the Narn ambassador. Two empty boxes lay just inside the door, and on his table appeared what she believed to be two small tortoises. At the same time, cooing could be heard from behind a divider to G'Kar's bedroom. She checked the label on the boxes and confirmed that both were hers. "G'Kar, I believe you have some things that belong to me."
G'Kar immediately stepped between the table and Delenn. "Perhaps they were intended for you, but fate has sent them my way. I cannot allow you to imprison my brothers any longer" as the vaguely reptilian ambassador said as he turned around and stroked the shell of one of the reptiles.
"Brothers?"
"Well, a distant familial relation perhaps. But I cannot bear to see them caged and used for who knows what purposes. If need be I will take the matter to Sinclair and the council myself. You can have this correspondence that came with the boxes, though" he added as he handed her a note which she took and read.
Delenn, I was unable to completely understand this portion of the ritual so I did the best I could with what was available. Enclosed please find two pigeons and two turtles. Yours in obedience, Lennier.
"And what about the birds, G'Kar? Are they distant relatives too?" she asked with more than a bit of annoyance.
"Of course not! I just like the sounds they make. It's rather...soothing, don't you think?"
"I wouldn't know" she said as she turned and stormed out.
