The Admiral's mood barely changed. His tone subdued slightly, but
was still rather upbeat.
"You know that is a sore subject among the Lasiter family. The poor
relations, or lack of any relations at all, has made certain things
difficult. Affairs on both sides were not handled exactly in the best Emily
Post style you know. Let us just leave the topic with this thought. I am
happy to know that the young Lasiter is on the station. I trust that he is
well, for the sake of the Admiral. {OOC: referring to his brother}
However, our relations, no matter what state they may be in, are just that
ours."
While he was polite and still somewhat cheerful, one got the
distinct impression that there was some bad blood between them. Some thing
that family bonds could not see the course to reconcilliation.
