General A'amon smiled graciously at Marconis. "Emissary Marconis. Pride in
one's people is hardly considered presumptuous."

"Moving on would be a good idea.", agreed Marconis.
"If you will excuse us.", Lasiter said more than happy to bow out of
this affair. "The General and I have other matters to attend to.
Emissary, please do not hesitate to contact me if you should have a need.
Admiral Bedru, the Starfleet liason to the Diplomatic Council, will know
how to reach me. Welcome, sir, and good day."
"Thank you Admiral Lasiter."
Before departing, A'amon tilted his head at Marconis. "Emissary. Good luck
with your application to the Council." There was only the slightest
emphasis on the word 'application'.
