[font=Agency FB] Zenaida at home

Having mixed feelings about getting back home. It's been a while since she saw her family, except for Elias that is. They'll be glad to see her, and so is Zenaida. But there is a problem. Mason being the problem. Zenaida knows no one in her family will like this, her and a Navy officer. They'll laugh and say 'okay and now back being serious, you were saying?' How is she going to tell them the recent events that happened in Liberty with Mason and later in Bretonia. They surely wouldn't understand.

Zena arrived at Porto Novo, she had sent a message to Elias so that he would know where she went all of a sudden. Zena convinced herself to keep it quiet and make up her own mind. She would have to talk to Mason again. It will be the conversation with a yes or no in the end. Go left and say goodbye to the ones on the right, go right and say goodbye to the one on the left.

She docked on Porto Novo, thinking of just making the best out of seeing her family again and just see what happens.

Once arrived in the hangar it didn't take long for her brother Caesar to notice her. He came running towards Zenaida.
'Is it really you?!' Caesar said cheerful.
Zena with the back towards him, checking up some things on her ship recognized his voice straight away. Turning around, making up a smile on her face, the cheer in his voice made more confusion in Zenaida's mind. 'He doesn't know yet' she thought.
'Hey Caesar.' Zenaida managed to push the words out cheerful.
Caesar gave her a short hug. 'We missed you a lot you know' .
'Same here, I asked Elias to come home too, so that we would all see each other again'
'Elias coming too? That's awesome. Why didn't you tell us you were coming?'
'I wanted it to be a surprise.'
'Alright, so mom and dad don't know right?'
'Yeah, they don't know yet'
'Come on then, let's go and surprise them!' Elias pulled on Zena's hand, she just let herself be dragged with him.
'Caesar, always cheerful' she thought as they both walked through some hallways to the quarters where their parents would be.
When they approached the door to the quarters'¦
'Wait here Zen.'
'Okay.' She was next to the door on the hallway.
Caesar walked towards the door, opening it with a keycard.
'Ohhh mom?, dad? I got a surprise for you'
Zenaida could hear some muffed voice from her mother replying, not really able to make up what she said. Only a short moment later Caesar stuck his head outside of the door and waved to Zenaida gesturing her to come. She pushed herself off the wall and walked to the door. Standing in the door opening, there were her parents.
'Hey there' Zenaida walked up to them both of them having a stunned look. A slight small onto Zena's face.
'Zen, I didn't expect to see you here.' Her dad said.
'I decided to come and say hi.' Zena walked closer to them, giving both her mother and her father a tight family kind of hug, they returned it. Her mother hugging Zenaida tightly.
'I really missed you, Zen. I bet you have a lot to tell us about your time in Liberty right?'
Zenaida walked over to the couch in the living room and sat down. 'yeah a lot.' She said curt.
'Caesar, could you take care of something to drink?'
Without much of a response he already took off to the kitchen.
'So why this sudden visit out of nowhere?' Bastiaan, her father asked as he sat down into his favorite chair. The chair he always said while smoking his cigar.
'I just felt like seeing your faces again, it's been way too long. I ran into Elias in New York. We did some flying again togeth-' Zenaida was interrupted by her mother, Alice.
'Elias? How's he? Is he also coming?'
'I asked him to come, we both missed you all a lot. But it seems he's still busy removing some unwanted ones.'
'Ah, the boy never knows when to stop, hehe.' Bastiaan chuckled with his heavy voice of all the smoking he did. A satisfying look on his face.
'Yeah~' Zenaida replied curt.
Alice sat down next Zenaida on the couch. 'I missed you.' Giving Zenaida another tight hug. Zenaida just let it happen, loosely laid her arm around her mother.
'hm, are you feeling okay?' Alice sat back giving Zenaida a concerned look. Both her arms on Zenaida's shoulders giving her a good look in her eyes.
'You don't look too good.' her voice caring and calm towards Zenaida.
'Something happened?' The heavier voice of Bastiaan came forward.
Zenaida sat up straight forcing a smile. 'I met someone.'
'Someone hm?' Alice said.
'Yeah, I sort of'¦ love him' Zenaida made a little chuckle.
'You fall in love with someone?' Her mother said. A smile appeared on her face.
'Yeah, there is just a problem. I don't know if he loves me and something else...'
'Who's he?' Her father said. He laid his cigar away.
'Oh you don't know him. His name is Eric~' Zenaida acted as if she was really in love. Lying to her parents didn't feel good. But she has to find out.
'But uh... his parents are in the Navy.'
'Heh, is that so?' Bastiaan had a sincere sound to his voice.
'He isn't though, he told me the navy wasn't anything for him. Too lazy.' She chuckled again a little.
'But he's really nice. I wanted to ask for advice to you, which is why I came here.'
Caesar came walking in the room, holding a few glasses with drinks and placed them on the table.
'What did I hear, Zen is in love?'
'hm, yeah~' Zenaida held her dad in watch wanting to see his reaction, but not trying to get too much attention.
'Zenaida, my girl.' Bastiaan started.
'How did you meet him?'
'Hm, on Freeport 2. He was there since his parents were involved with the fighting with Rheinland. He was a volunteer there to help the wounded.'
'What would his parents think of him loving you?'
'I don't know~ why would they be against it?'
'Zenaida'¦'
'Dad, if you don't want me to, tell me. It's okay'
'Bas'¦' Alice gave Bastiaan a look as in 'just say it'
'You know how we think about the Navy, Zenaida.'
Zenaida stood up and walked over to her dad, while smiling. Giving him a small kiss on his cheek. 'Thanks'
'You're welcome' He sat back in his chair.
Caesar sat down on another chair sipping from his drink, just observing the scene.
'Don't worry, if you say no. It's no. Maybe better for him too, don't you think?'
Her dad nodded 'You're a smart girl Zen, I'm proud of you.'

['¦]

Zenaida knew enough, the answer she expected. There was no room for Mason in her family. They wouldn't allow her to be with him. It convinced her to not talk about it anymore to her family. She talked about the shoot outs she had, with a lot of pirates. Her parents and Caesar listen more than talking themselves. Her dad seemed to look proud, but Zenaida felt like what she told him about 'Eric' didn't comfort him well. Her mother just sat back smiling as she listened to the stories of Zenaida. 'Eric' wasn't mentioned anymore. Zenaida was relieved about that in some way. But it was still troubling her. If they knew'¦

Zenaida stayed for the night. She still had her own room at home. Always looking the same. She laid on her bed staring at a family picture that was hanging on the wall. She sighed and rolled over, she still wasn't sure on what to do with Mason. Zenaida did get sleep that night, quite a lot actually. The next morning she said goodbye to Caesar and her parents. Saying she was heading back to Liberty, back doing what she all Tantalo's do. She made up her mind. She would go and talk to Mason. But it had to be face to face. Not looking at some screen while both being in a spaceship. That just doesn't work, not for this subject.
