>Melora eyed the two Federation citizens with skepticism. "Not everyone is as observent as you, Ambassador. Most notice when I approach," she repiled off the cuff. "A comparison to former-Ambassador Dulath is something that I would consider a compliment considering the respect he has earned among so many people aboard the station."

>Just then, Plantoc Ra'aj approached from one of the adjacent hallways. "My apologies for not being earlier. I was tied up with a communique with the Homeworld." She glanced around and noticed that things appeared to be a bit tense. It was clear that Melora was up to her usual standards. I hope my absence did not make things difficult."
(ooc: what's with the formatting???)
(OOC: I am not sure. I am not on my usual work computer. It seems to be reading it this way for some reason. I tried something else this time. Let's hope it helped.)
"Plantoc....good to see you."
T'Kresh nodded to the Ambassador. "The same here."
"Good morning, Plantoc Ra'aj," said Melora. It wasn't clear if she was saying it because she meant it or to fill the formality.
