Dinner was now passed, and the guests had all enjoyed the food, and no small amount of the spirits. In fact, it appeard that Matt had been amongst the most temperate at the gathering. This was partly because of the talk he knew would soon be coming with Samuel and his desire - his need - to be completely in charge of his faculties, and the fact that this being a wedding night, his bride was certain to have, well, certain expectations of him.
He needed to be certain he could live up to those.
(ooc: after two millennia, he still worried about *that*?!? men!!)
Carrhae could not help but notice that Matt was quieter than usual. She did not
believe he was having misgivings, but just what the cause of his reticence she
would have to discover later when they were alone.
She invited her grandfather to stay at the beach house throughout his visit to Terra. He would come to her apartment in San Francisco tomorrow evening for dinner and a long talk. He had looked quizzically at her explanation that she needed to stay near Star Fleet Command (she was not ready to tell him that she was going to be on punishment--nor would she tell him why).
Seeing that Matt and Samuel had disappeared into her private study with the very
obvious intent of having privacy, she turned to her other guests and said, "The
beach at this time of the evening is a pleasant place to walk. Once I change,
would any of you wish to join me?"
(responses?)
Carrhae nodded and turned over the care of their guest to Kalina while she went
upstairs.
Kalina made certain that all took their leisure as they wished. There was a library and a game room with a variety of entertainment. And, of course, the garden downstairs.
Within ten minutes, Carrhae returned. She still wore her hair unbound, but she
was now dressed in jeans and a white silk blouse with sandals on her feet.
"If you are ready, let us be off," she said to whomever was going along.
