Pairing/Characters: Afra Lyon & Isthia Raven
Content Notes: None
Prompt: 26 Afra Lyon asks Isthia Raven to go to the [choice] because...
"Isthia," Afra began, considering the next step in this dance of protecting his Prime, "now that clean up is well on its course, and the galaxy is breathing a bit easier, I have to ask you for a favor."
The matron of the Raven clan looked at him, and the same humor he'd seen in Jeff danced in her eyes.
"I will," she said.
"But I haven't asked!"
"You wish me to be your escort for the public ceremony to invest Jeff with his official duties, because you are known to hold a particular place in The Rowan's life. Being escorted by her husband's own mother is a benediction in its own manner."
He flushed, deepening the green complexion, making him feel half his age and new to Tower life all over again. "Yes. I think my logic is sound? As the staff at the Earth Tower are very aware of why Callisto finally stopped having such a high turnover."
"I think it is a good choice to make," Isthia said. "Like it or not, there are politics involved, and this will help quell many rumors." She then smiled impishly. "Care to show me Earth, after?"
He grinned, nodding happily.
