    Complete First Comes Marriage, Then Comes Love

    Fifteen year old Daanarri Au'laana Ruulathaai Meorrrei sat on the edge of the overly cushioned seat on her mother's opulent yacht, watching Jovan Station grow larger in the transparisteel viewport. She'd been in the incense-filled confines of the Pride Mother's Sun Palace for ... forrreverrr... and being able to get away and spend some time exploring was very exciting.

    Even if it was with her mother.

    Daani looked over her shoulder at the older female, feeling a little guilty. Taataani had a datapad in hand, like usual, doing business of some kind. She'd also refused to allow Daani to sit in the cockpit, though she had been able to change out of the diaphanous robes of a rrou'korrta into something more comfortable. That had turned out to be sweatpants and a colorful large t-shirt that slipped off her shoulder over a utilitarian black sports bra, complete with a pair of battered sneakers... her mother had barely raised an eyebrow.

    As the yacht gently bumped the station and she could feel the vibrations of the docking mechanisms catching, Daani jumped up and ran to the hatch, even her blond curls bouncing with anticipation at the wonders laying just beyond the door.

    "Au'laana, whjy the hurrrjy? The sstatjion jissn't gojing anjywherre."

    Taataani put away her reading glasses and her files, following her youngest daughter at a more reasonable pace. The gangplank hadn't even lowered yet. The two Senatorial Guard wore the more functional blue uniforms they were assigned when not on assignments of state. Each stood waiting at the hatch, doing their best to ignore the teenager.

    Taataani at last arrived, giving Daani a glance and a brow raise.

    "Ssweatpantss, daughterr? jI rrealjize jyou'rre not clojissterred jin the rrojyal palace anjymorre, but jyourr sstjill gojing out jin publjic."

    Daani's ears swiveled down a bit, and her tail twitched as her mother complained about her clothes.

    "Thejy'rre fasshjionable," she said, straightening her back a little. She'd interacted with the Emissary of the Pride and served Kei'samaarraa'ssee'jaakreea herself. She could stand up to her own mother.

    When she caught Taataani's eye, Daani slumped down.

    "jI can change laterr, jif jyou want," she muttered, and then the hatch was opened and she barely held herself back from racing down into the station in front of the guards. Ears forward, she looked eagerly for any sign of her older sisters as they walked slowly and respectfully into the station.

    "Au'laana!"

    Rai was just as quick to the gangplank as her younger sister, wrapping her up in a boistrous hug. She kissed Daani on the cheek, then held her at arm's length to get a full look at her.

    "Rrou'ani jI thought jyou barreljy esscaped the palace jin rrou'korrta rrobess, wherre djid jyou get ssuch cute clothess?"

    “Netaali!” Daani squealed, pushing past the senatorial guards and grabbing Rai’faani in a hug.

    ”jI had a ssmall allowance frrom Motherrr forr the trrjip,” she confided, standing back and striking a bit of a pose. “Sshe doesssn’t apprrove, but they were deljiverrred fasst.”

    Daani hooked her arm through her older sister’s. “Can jyou sshow me arrround? Have jyou been herrre a lot? Wherrre’s the besst food, jI’m ssstarrvjing!”

    "Sailla'ss taken carre of that, darrljing. We'rre havjing tiia'haa'ko thjiss evenjing."

    Taataani followed down the gangplank in impeccable attire, wearing a mantle of blue zeyd with a blue and white patterned dress beneath. An Alliance starbird brooch glittered gold at her shoulder, accenting ear jewelry and flair weaved into a blonde wig that stacked into a bun atop her head. For now, she was contented to see her two youngest daughters bonding. Eventually she approached Rai'faani, kissing her on the cheek.

    "Hello Netaali."

    Daani inwardly sighed at the thought of a stuffy family dinner. Tiia'haa'ko was not exactly what she'd had in mind for her first visit on an interstellar space station as an almost-adult. Still, she couldn't remember the last time they'd all been together at home to have a traditional meal. Maybe never!

    She looped her arm through Rai'fa's and tugged her a little to get the group moving. "Rrou'ani, the Ssun Palace jiss sso beautjiful, jyou have no jidea. And the ljittle cubljingss!" Daani squee'd a little at the thought of the twin heirs to the Carshoulis Cluster.

    "Djid jyou know jI wasss therrre?" She dropped her voice to a conspiratorial whisper.

    The group began to move out of the bay, headed towards the concourse. The Senatorial Guard followed, though they kept a respectful three paces back.

    "Motherr told me." Rai couldn't give a toss about the royal sprogs, but it was a huge moment for Daani and she was legitimately proud of her younger sister. "jI wjissh jI could have been on the dajiss to celebrrate, but onljy motherr got a rrojyal jinvjite.

    Again, half truth and half lie, but Rai gave an affectionate squeeze.

    "jYou've grrown up sso much ljittle ssjissterr. jI can't beljieve jit."

    "jYou two almosst look ljike twjinss now."

    T'yeellaa met her familial entourage at the doorway, dressed in her crimsons and golds. She paused for a moment, getting a good look at Daani, then to Rai'fa, then to Mother.

    "jIt'ss almosst a full rreunjion."

    The eldest Meorrrei sister rushed in, giving the youngest sister a hug.

    "jI haven't sseen jyou jin sso long, Au'laana!"

    Daani was scooped up into T’yeellaa’s arms, and she returned the hug fiercely. It was wonderful to be welcomed like this, but strange at the same time. She felt as though her beautiful older sisters were strangers, people she knew and loved, but who she barely knew. They had always had their own lives, and she had been off with their brother Cirrsseetto for more than a few years.

    ”jIt hass been a long tjime,” she said breathlessly when she was back on her feet. “I can’t beljieve jyou arrre jin charrrge of thjiss whole statjion! Can jyou sshow me arrround?”

    "K'ohta'rrou Meorrrei jiss actualljy ssecond jin command, Au'laana, though jI'm ssurre sshe wjill have no trrouble arrrangjing a tourr forr uss."

    Though she spoke to her youngest, Taataani's attention fixed squarely on her eldest daughter with a hospitable-yet-cool expression.

    T'yeellaa's ears glowed with indignation at the way her mother effortlessly damned with praise. It took restraint to keep those same ears from pivoting back to show her injury. After all, it had been T'yeellaa to insist on recognition of what she'd struggled to earn on her own. What vexed her was that she couldn't even tell if the rrou'fai was slighting her out of that reminder, or to keep blood in the water. Ambition was her birthright, after all.

    "No trrouble at all, Rrou'fai."

    Rai'faani watched her mother and sister pace their ramparts and rolled her eyes.

    "Ohh botherrr..."

    She glanced to her eager younger sister, shrugging.

    "What'ss to ssee? jIt'ss harrdljy Prrjime. jIt'ss a flea-bjitten prrovjincjial wajy sstatjion."

    She paused, cutting her eyes as her ears perked.

    "Of courrsse, the Sshatterrsstarr jissn't awful..."

    "Ooh, what'ss the Sshatterrrsstarr? jIt ssoundss awesssome." Daani extricated herself from between her mother and T'y and returned to Rai'faani's side. "Do thejy have food therre?"

    "jIt'ss jusst anotherr one of Netaali'ss flessh potss, though jI'm ssurre therre'ss tjime forr that asss well."

    The Senator glanced at her youngest, ears perking slightly.

    "That rremjindss me, Au'laana, jI hope jyou djidn't sspend all of jyourr tjime clojissterred jin the Ssun Palace. jYou sshould be sstarrtjing krre'rrou ssoon."

    Daani opened her mouth to reply and ended up closing it again, like a fish. She tried again, before a blush could creep over her face and embarrass her even further.

    "jI wass jin the Ssun Palace the whole tjime, Mama, jyou know that." She looked sideways at Rai'fa and raised her eyebrows. "jI djid ssee wherre the arr'nomaa ljive when thejy arre not, jyou know. Therre arre sso manjy of them!"

    Arr'u, arr'u everrjywherre..." Rai droned out in a sigh, "...and not a cock to fuck."

    She looked to her younger sister with a look of half incredulity and awe. She then shook her head.

    "Well, now that jyou'rre awajy frrom the rrojyal herrd, jI sshould fjind jyou ssomethjing prrettjy to rrjide all jyourr own."

    T'yeellaa listened to the direction the conversation was taking as they moved along the concourse.

    "Oh come on, Au'laana'ss sstjill a jyearr awajy, gjive orr take."

    She put a hand on her youngest sister's shoulder.

    "Plentjy of tjime forr that laterr. Don't be jin ssuch a hurrrjy to grrow up."

    Daani grimaced. “jI’m not jin a hurrjy. But prractjicalljy everrjyone jin the palace would assk me when jI wass comjing of age. And jif jI needed a ssujitable match.”

    She pouted. “Nejitherr of jyou have been mated, sso whjy jiss mjy theorretjical marrjiage sso jimporrtant?! jI’m gojing to be a pjilot, anjywajy.”

    "Who ssajid anjythjing about bejing mated?" Rai shrank back, mock-aghast. "jI'm jusst talkjing about fjindjing ssomeone cute and rrjidjing hjim tjill he can't walk forr a dajy."

    With a shrug and a glib expression, Rai cut her eyes to her youngest sister. She then hooked an arm around her shoulder, gently steering Daani towards a few potential candidates passing down the concourse.

    "jI bet jI could even fjind jyou a pjilot herre too, jif jyou want to sswap notess...among otherr thjingss."
