Gabriel Pryce
Out of Time
Gabriel stood, arms across his chest in the doorway of his home. Or rather, his family's home. His father, the Diktat of Corellia, had long been off-world helping coordinate Corellian Defense Fleet forces in the defense of the sector and the impending invasion of Coruscant. They hadn't spoken in years and so he hadn't been home in just as long. So when his mother had called and told him that she'd wanted to see him he thought she had meant for her own benefit. Yet here he was, his second day home on a nice, well-earned vacation from the Coruscant temple to find two run-away farm brats on his doorstep. Two farm brats that had somehow convinced his father to lay out this elaborate plan to get him home in time to meet them.
"Family friends" his mother had said. He glowered at the twins beneath bush brows and a not-yet groomed beard in a pair of linen sleeping pants and a white tank top. He hadn't even gotten his caf yet. He didn't want to let them inside but their presence was causing the nearby nerf to moo incessantly, the newcomers seen as a threat to the nerf's newborn calf. And it grated on him. He sighed heavily and gestured for the two to enter.
"Come in you two."
