Furban turned and went into the Admirals domain as expected. Her entire life had been filled with expectations. Both from her and from others. "Admiral." she addressed Yamaguchi as she found himself facing the back of his chair while he stared out into space, thanks to the large viewport located behind his desk. "Nalla Furban," he commented as he turned to face her. He was sitting back in his chair as he regarded her. "I had never expected you to come and see me for anything, ever again." Yamaguchi regarded the small woman who he still had feelings for. Even after all of this time.

"I understand Admiral. I would like to see my daughter." Furban inquired of him without thinking about what she wanted to say or how she withed to say it first. It showed quickly too.

Yamaguchi regarded the small-framed woman before him, while he mentally counted to five in his head. Then he sat forward as his arms came to rest on his desk. "Our daughter Nalla." he reminded her gently but there was no mistaking the rebuke for what it was. "Or did you intend to reclaim her forever and block me out of her life again.?" There it was, the source of Yamaguchi's anger with her. His disdain for the small woman before him was clear as glass and yet. He was able to keep his voice calm and clear. "Because I'm not going to simply just let you waltz back into her life, take her and then disappear off to parts unknown... Not without a fight." Yamaguchi growled softly at the Deltan woman before him.

"No," Furban whispered, as her eyes darted around the room while the small-framed Deltan woman had begun to panic. She had known of Jake's temper but she had not expected the raw fury directed straight at her. She knew she needed to placate him and quickly. "Jake. She is and always will be, your daughter," she admitted. "I was wrong to challenge you on that matter..." she added after a moment. "I... I was only acting as I had been taught... How I had been raised..." she paused. "I am Betazed royalty and I had certain expectations of me..."

Yamaguchi blinked as he sat back in his chair. The effect would have been the same had Nalla vaulted his desk and then drove her fist into his face. "Nalla. Calm yourself..." he said quietly as he processed exactly what he had just been told. Nalla had changed and it was obvious to him now that she had done so.

Furban fought with her emotions for a moment before she slowly began to pull herself back together. "I apologize for my lack of control. Admiral," she commented quietly. The protocol was still protocol for a reason and she would forever be a slave to the formality that she had been raised and quite literally had beaten into her since she was a small child. Now she was a full-grown woman with a child of her own and she wanted to have a chance to lead her house. The House of Furban but this would require her to leave Starfleet and then find a mate so she could breed children for domestic arrangements like marriages and the like. Details of minutiae and all of which were details that Furban, herself found exceptionally boring. Furban still wanted to serve as a medical officer, she still had things she wanted to do. Plans she wished to act out and follow.

Yamaguchi knew that Nalla Furban was a slave to the system that had helped create her in the first place. He regarded her in silence while he waited for her to finish pulling herself together. He had not been expecting the quick apology at the start of the meeting and he had been quite prepared to fight for it. He had also been prepared to try and find a way to elicit it from her. He hadn't been expecting the quick surrender.

Yamaguchi was suddenly and instantly suspicious. He opened his mouth and breathed out before breathing back in again. "Then, Nalla... What are your intentions?"

"I wish to spend time with our daughter... Bethany has you and Torilla... But I'm still her biological mother and I will be involved with her life too."

"Yes. You will be." Yamaguchi answered quietly. "But first. I want to weigh in on the matter at hand. Both you and your mother had a rather bad habit of simply bragging into my life and my house. Calling you two a distraction doesn't really do it justice." he regarded the Deltan.

Yamaguchi recalled what their sexual encounter was like. Even Torilla couldn't fully compare to Nalla and Yamaguchi knew how his wife operated, he knew exactly how Torilla's body worked and he also knew how to excite her, tease her and please her. All within minutes of the opening act.
