(USS Illuminar- FO’s Quarters - FO Commander Sienna Verin, CTO/ CTac- Ensign (sg)T'Mur -2200)


T’mur and Sienna barely made it back to their quarters before they attacked each other.  T’Mur pressed Sienna against the wall and hastily removed her uniform, to give her body the attention that she so desperately wanted to give it.


After, they lay in bed, neither of them prepared to sleep.  T’Mur rolled over on top of Sienna and kissed her gently.


“I want to do something,” she said.


“Whatever you want my love. Anything, anything at all.” Sienna laughed as she wrapped both her arms and legs around T’Mur to hold their bodies together. “Have I told you today that you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen?”  Yes, Sy was besotted.


“I want to tell my father,” T’Mur said. “Now.  While we have a moment.  And before anything else happens.”


“Are our long distance communications up and running? I know our power issues are mostly repaired. If we can make the call,then let us make it.” Sienna smiled at that. “Are you sure that your Father will be all right with me? I’m not exactly the ideal Vulcan mate.”


T’Mur kissed Sienna again and bounced off the bed. “But you are the ideal mate for me. And that… my love… should be enough.”


She made her way over to the communication center in Sy’s office and brought it to life with a tap.


::Luma, I want to speak with my father on Vulcan. Can you arrange that?::


::Easily.:: Luma opened the connection and it eventually connected. Luma decided to stay quiet and just watch. She had long ago been given permission to hang out in Sienna’s shared quarters and listen.


After a time a visual channel opened to show Davelahn. He looked… for lack of a better description, surprised.


=^=Daughter. I am gratified to see you well.=^=


“As am I you father,” she replied stoically. “You remember Sienna Williams-Verin.”  It was a statement not a question.


Davelahn nodded to the commander. =^=Yes. How could I forget the young woman who offered to… how did you put it? Punch me in the face?=^=


Sienna laughed, “Hello, Davelahn.  It’s good to see you doing so well.” Sienna spoke kindly, putting her arm around T’Mur’s waist as she leaned over the woman’s shoulder.


“Father,” T’Mur began, “ I have some news to deliver. The treatment I received on Vulcan did something to me that was most unexpected. Apparently it reset my mating instincts. I went into a transitional Pon Farr.”


=^=Indeed.=^= Davelahn’s right eyebrow raised higher than one might have believed possible. =^=You seem to have fared the transition well. Am I to assume that you have found a bond mate?=^=


T’Mur held Sienna’s arm tightly. “You may make that assumption. I have been bonded to Sienna.”


Davelahn was quiet for a moment. He looked down at something below the monitor. Then he looked up.


=^=Daughter, it is my impression that you have selected your mate wisely.  Clearly she had bonded herself to you even before such an event as your Pon Farr. It is … acceptable to make this connection. I am appreciative of the news.=^=


“Father, there is more,” T’Mur continued.


Sienna stayed quiet while T’Mur and her Father spoke.  But she kept her hand around T’Mur’s body, needing the connection with her mate.


=^=More?  Indeed?  What more could there be?=^=


T’Mur looked into Sienna’s dark, beautiful eye and gave a leased look that would have to pass for a smile. “Sienna has asked that we have a Betazoid wedding. On Earth. A … traditional Betazoid wedding. You are, of course, invited.”


Davelahn gave a scowl. =^=T’Mur, I would have words with Sienna Williams-Verin.=^=


Now it was T’Mur’s turn to look surprised. She looked up at Sienna.


“In Earth-speak that means we are about to have a disagreement.” Sienna spoke with a smile. “If you have something to say, T’Mur’s going to hear it regardless. Our bond is pretty new and deep.”  Sy opened her hand and placed it on T’Mur’s wrist, needing the contact. “I really hope we are not going to have a disagreement, Davelahn.”


=^=It is an intriguing predilection of people to assume the worst possible scenario. I do not believe that a disagreement at this time would be logical. Besides, I do not think that I have any rights to make decisions for T’Mur. She is an adult and makes her own decisions. It would be preferable if we could speak alone. =^=


T’Mur nodded knowing that Sienna would never willingly separate herself from her mate. She stood up from the chair and offered it to Sienna.


“I believe I understand the gist of the conversation,” T’Mur said amused. “I can wait in the bedroom. I will be right here, love.”


She kissed Sienna’s hand and walked out of the office to sit on the edge of the bed. She wasn’t concerned about the conversation but she did wonder how the conversation would unfold.


Sienna was not thrilled to have T’Mur walk away, it felt like a part of her was gone. “Well?” She asked curiously, “Do you object to the Betazoid Priest, the ceremony in general or the fact it will take place on Earth? I would be more than happy to have another ceremony on Vulcan if you feel that is necessary, I don’t know what the Vulcan ceremony would be. She is my world, and she makes me happy. It is a human thing to tell the world that she is mine.”


=^=I have no issue with your ceremony. I would ask a favor. I have not been a very good father for T’Mur. I am attempting to be part of her world. The world she has chosen. And the people she has chosen to spend it with. I ask that you allow me to continue with those efforts. It is clear that you love her, and she you. The do anything to jeopardize that would only be illogical. I would like us… to be friends.=^=


Sienna seemed surprised, “I don’t know you well enough to say that I can be your friend, but I am willing to be open to a relationship forming if it will.  I don’t hate you, I just hate the way she was treated which is something that you allowed to happen.  But I also understand that if her life had been different, I would not be blessed with her as my world. Is that sufficient?” She nodded, giving her word. She would be open minded.


=^=More than sufficient. I have one more boon to ask but we need T’Mur back in the room.=^=


As if on cue T’Mur appeared behind Sienna and wrapped her arms around her waist, nuzzling her hair. “I am here father.”


=^=It is my understanding that these affairs have active participants other than the bride and … bride?  Would it be permissible for me to… =^= he struggled slightly with the words, =^=to give the bride away. Well, my daughter.  I believe that is the correct phrase.=^=


Sy glanced at T’Mur, “That is up to her, but I’m sure we can figure something out to make it work. I want the Betazoid Ambassador Dr. Riven Mias to perform the ceremony. He is a mind-healer and a priest and he helped me a great deal.” Sienna kept her look on T’Mur. “What do Vulcans have for a ceremony? I can’t imagine huge parties like other species do to celebrate unions.” Sienna knew that with her Admiral parents, grandparents and her twin being a Captain, her wedding would be extremely political for the renewed Starfleet.


=^=Vilcan ceremonies are a bit more … functional.  They are called kin-it-ka-li-fe. Translated it means marriage or challenge. It is an opportunity for one of the betrothed to challenge the marriage in a combat to the death. Ka-li-fe.=^=


T’Mur hugged Sy. “I would like to have the Vulcan ceremony. We can see who will challenge me for you. “


“And you would kill someone if they did?” Sienna was not sure if she was hoping Lynn would be stupid enough to challenge for Sienna. She doubted it. “I doubt anyone would be that stupid but I have to admit I would enjoy seeing her blood on the sand. No. I don’t really mean that, it’s a great fantasy but it would be a mess if it was true. She doesn’t deserve death for hurting me.”


T’Mur looked sternly in Sienna’s eyes and kissed her. “Yes, she does.”  Then she looked up and winked. “And you. Would you kill for the honor of my hand?”


“As soon as you teach me how.” Sienna replied, dazed after the kiss. “Right now I guarantee that the other person would win.”


“You might just surprise yourself,” T’Mur said. Then turned her attention back to her father. “We shall discuss the kin-it-ka-li-fe.”


=^=Very well. You will send me the details of the ceremony on Earth.=^=. It was not a question.


“I will, father,” T’Mur replied.


=^=Is there anything further you would care to discuss with me?=^=


“Not at this time,” T’Mur replied.


=^=Then I will take my leave of you. Live long and prosper daughter. Live lon and prosper Sienna Williams-Verin. =^=


“Good bye father. Live lone and prosper.”


=^=And daughter, I am pleased for you.=^=


The screen went blank. T’Mur stepped around the chair and sat herself in Sienna’s lap, snuggling into her.
