Kreshkova, S.: Zhis is a big decision, Papa. I haf responsibilities here. I may not haf as many as you, but I do vear zhree pips now.

Sasch saw him eyeing her pips. Her jaw tensed, and her brow furrowed.

Kreshkova, S.: Even if I decide to go, I can’t leave Captain Promontory in a bind. I vould need time to get zhings settled - IF I go vizh you.

Kreshkova, D.: Vhy is zhis an if?

Kreshkova, S.: Because zhe decision is mine, not yours. Unless you are making zhis an order.

oO Vhy does everyzhing feel like a fight vizh him? Oo

Kreshkova, D.: How much time?

Kreshkova, S.: To decide?

She’d want to talk this over with Rory and Tito and Captain Promontory, too.

Kreshkova, S.: At least a veek.

Sasch’s shoulders sagged as she watched his forehead crease and his nostrils flare.

Kreshkova, D.: You half forty eight hours.

oO Of course I do. Oo

Kreshkova, S.: You are not making zhis easy.

Sasch looked down at her untouched pirozhki and pushed the plate back.

Kreshkova, S.: Forgif me. I’ve lost my appetite.

Kreshkova, D.: Response

Kreshkova, S.: Vhy? Because I vant to teach. Somezhing hasn’t felt right lately.

She took a hurried breath.

Kreshkova, S.: I miss flying, Papa. ::She nodded slowly, her eyes misting over:: A lot.

Tossing her napkin over her plate, she leaned in.

Kreshkova, S.: Even zhough I vould love teaching flight… I don’t know if I vant to go.

Kreshkova, D.: Response

Kreshkova, S.: Because zhere is no room for any opinion ozher zhan your own.

I am in Starfleet.

You are my superior officer, but I am also your daughter.

You gave me my love of flight.

You gave me my love for sailing.

Zhat is how I vant to remember you.

Not as an Admiral sitting across me scowling because I didn’t give you zhe answer you vant right avay.

Kreshkova, D.: Response
