Far Hearts

A shuttlecraft arrived at Aegis’s shipping lanes and received permission to dock. The message that arrived with the ship was that those aboard were “For Dr. Mimi tr’Jeth Dabi,” clearly he never would accept her working name. Those aboard stayed until Mimi had time to come to the shuttle and accept her delivery.

 

Mimi was still on the CnC when the message arrived for her and it would be a little while before they docked. “Well, that’s something. Besides I need a bit of a break.” She nodded to Brown that he was in charge until her return or was needed. Mimi got in the turbolift and ordered it to the docking ring to eat and get her delivery when it arrived.

 

The shuttle hatch opened after Mimi responded to the driver and surprisingly, Loxil tr’Jeth Dabi exited with a smile to Mimi when she spotted her. “I’m so glad to see a familiar face. Jolan Tru, Ailhun*!” She approached Mimi and handed her a lightweight box. “These are the document chips that Torate said he wrote you about.” She paused while Mimi took possession.

 

Two others exited the shuttle in complete silence and fell in behind Loxil. Both of the other women did not carry anything and did not wear any jewelry. “These are t’Pentha and t’Merniq, both here to serve us. If accepted, they too will come to our house.”

 

Mimi smiled at Loxil. “It’s nice to see you too. So this is what I have to deal with now,” Mimi replied.

 

Loxil bent slightly at her waist towards Mimi and when she returned straight up, she spoke, “Ie, for our husband has asked of this before he went… “ She didn’t finish the statement but both women knew where he went. “I am also here to assist au in any way possible. Our house’s land area has been deconstructed, so Torate felt that my best efforts would be to help here.”

 

Loxil didn’t mention that all of the documents were in Rihannsu, some even in the ancient text. She already was informed that she’d be working closely with Mimi with these, since they could NOT be run through the station’s translation machine, being the details of the contracts were not common knowledge to the Federation, much less anyone outside of ch’Rihan, what was left of it, and ch’Havran.

 

Mimi’s face went emotionless, “Can’t believe he’s on a top secret mission...”

 

Loxil pressed her fingers against Mimi’s lips to quiet her. “Na in words, Ailhun (first wife).”

 

She quietly talked to Loxil, “Thing is I have more pressing matters to attend to at the moment. Like being in command of this station. I’m sure you know where my quarters are at.”

 

“Au are in Command?” Loxil bows slightly from the waist again, “I can na bother au with further mentions. Do au have a roll I can sleep on?”

 

“There are two other rooms you can chose from: a small room across from mine or a room that is about the size of mine across from the kitchen,” Mimi replied.

 

“I will have my things transported to the larger room, t’Pentha and t’Merniq will be fine sharing the smaller room, or even at the foot of my bed if you wish the room for other purposes.” Loxil turned her body and pointed past the other women, “… and Torate sent other things to be saved.” She motioned to the boxes being brought out of the shuttle.

 

Mimi looked at the boxes, “What are in the boxes?”

 

Loxil looked back at them, as if to remember their contents, “Ailhun they contain various items belonging to the tr’Jeth Dabi house. Au may want to familiarize yourself with them or when you have time, I shall unpack and tell you the details behind each piece. Au will find that au have married into a house of great wealth, a myriad of history, and challenging roles for each to attend.” She smiled and knew that Mimi wouldn’t ever understand the complete Rihannsu depth behind many of the items - since she wasn’t actually a Rihan herself.

 

Mimi looked at the boxes and sighed. “So much more to learn, but I’m sure I’ll understand as best as possible,” she said. “Our quarters are on deck 38.”

 

As they walked the corridor, before they parted ways, Loxil made sure that the other documents were on Mimi’s mind. “Please see the construction files at your best effort. They require some signatures, which Torate has granted au. The tr’Jeth Dabi land granted our house has been designated,” she paused for a moment searching for a compatible word, “constructionable now, and decisions must be made about structures. Torate has designated au as constable over the house property in his absence.” She motioned to the data box again, then bowing slightly from her waist, much like other cultures of servitude, in respect and honor to the Ailhun of the house.

 

Mimi looked at the box and smiled and said, “How considerate that he remembered that I’m here to help. Loxil, once you arrive at our quarters, I would like for you to put this on my desk. It’s on your right as you enter. I will look them over in the next few days. I must take a stroll before I come home, to help clear my mind and focus on what I need to do at home and at work.”

 

Just before they parted ways at one of the hallways’ divides, Loxil took Mimi’s hand and placed it up against hers, sister-ring to sister-ring. The backs of the rings actually fit together when they held their hands just right. Neither Loxil nor Torate had showed Mimi this exclusive feature. “I am here to serve our Ailhun.” She released her hand and slightly bowed again, separating herself from Mimi, heading in the direction of her new room.
