~~~ Hands at the U.N.
When he appeared several people twitched, "Sorry, not sure how not to startle you. I suppose I could send Rex or Sweety down to warble at you but not sure it would be any better." Rex was with his daughter's family. Sweety blew a small flame at Hands for the teasing before she relaxed on Savory's shoulder.
Isa wanted to giggle at the two but didn't, "Greeting Hands. We were discussing reasons why you can't give us your tech as you have it now. Please have a seat and we're going to break for lunch soon." She wondered about the other woman in the purple suit but didn't ask.
"This is Sky and a member of my pack. She's here to help Savory help me. Before anyone asks my girl is dying and from the looks of it nothing can be done. I won't answer any further questions about it since it has nothing to do with why we are here." He took a cup of tea from Daisy and smiled at her. It was a sad and tired smile, but he did his best.
The representative from China looked at him, "Dragons? They are part of our myths and culture; do they really exist? Have you ever met one?" He was leaning forward and looking very intense. Kim was giving the two little dragons an intense look.
Hands snorted and grinned, "Yup, twice. Once was when my brother woke from being sent into the past and she delivered a load of gifts from her great grandsire and again, at one Christmas we visited family." He laughed, "Both times it was the same dragon and she was beautiful. The time at Christmas was when I received my little dragon Rex. She traumatized half my family when she showed up. Since there was a large viewer on the table he called up images of the visit at the pack house. He showed the entire visit including her leaping into the air and changing to her full form. Just for good measure he showed what his house looked like after she left, "This is what she left for me. For Ray? He had someone come in to evaluate the worth and the man staggered out and ended up drinking himself to sleep.
Everyone watched the videos in shock. When it came to the section of what his house on the pack Property looked like they all twitched, and a number drooled, "Good god, that's..." One representative said. There wasn't much else he could say.
The Chinese representative stood and bowed to them, "Thank you for what you showed us Pack Father. I wish to talk to you more about the visits. Would you be willing to come to our embassy for a meal and to talk?" He'd been shocked by what he'd seen and wanted to discuss the Dragon's further.
Hands stood and returned the bow before sitting back down, "I will see but right now I'm dealing with my daughter. Not sure when it will be possible. If nothing else, I'll bring you to the ship and we can have a meal there. In case you are worried you won't show up with body parts in the wrong..." He twitched when Sky thumped him.
Several of the representative's groaned at both. One very old representative started laughing, "For that alone I know you are from Earth. That is an old cult classic and only someone from here would know about it."
"Damn human pack fathers and their bad humor. I will deal with him later. No making bad jokes based on Space Balls. He's as bad as his brother Ray." She thumped him again for good measure before nipping an ear and growling.
"Sorry and I do apologize. I'm very worried about my pup and it's causing problems with my humor. I'll do my best to avoid it. Having said it, ask questions and I'll do my best to answer them. The invitation is still there, and I know Vyra has indicated we'll bring people up. It will be small groups and we'll ensure the crew understands how humans view relationships." He sipped on the tea again.
One representative laughed, "So are there Folician males aboard? Might like to meet one or two." She winked at eye at Hands even as her assistant wanted to sigh.
