While the briefing that Gabe had just completed was a
difficult,
stress-filled one, the next event in his schedule was one that he had been looking forward to since he first heard of the possibility. He had quickly made his way onto the main concourse on the deck that Audra's ship was docked on. It did not take him long to find the boarding tube. Standing at its entrance was his family. He walked over with a smile, "It looks like the party can officially start. We are all here." Ariel glanced at her baby brother. "Last to arrive again, I see," she said playfully. They were the two closest in age of the four siblings. (Gabe?) Daphne eyed her younger sister with a look of warning. She had always taken on a role of caretaker among the group. It was only natural considering the fact that she was the eldest. "At least we are all here." She turned to Celine, "Have you heard from LA recently?" "We have not really had too much chance to talk. He is working undercover so access is somewhat limited." There was a touch of sadness to Celine's voice as she responded to the question. Daphne rested a
hand on her sister-in-law. Being in Special Ops, she knew how difficult it
could be to develop relationships. "You will be able to catch up once
things have settled in."
Ariel listened carefully to the conversation. She felt bad that LA
was separated from his family, but at least they were close to the rest of the
Ares clan. Mama and Papa were only planetside and most of the siblings
seemed to know be stationed within the Sol System. "We should probably
consider moving on to the restaurant."
Daphne nodded. "Sounds like a plan." She turned to Gabe before continuing. "I thought we could go to La Belle Cusine for lunch." "Perhaps we could see if your parents are available to join us," added Celine. "That would make it a real family reunion." Ariel nodded. "That would be a wonderful idea. We can give them
a call once we get down there."
