Yes, I've been very eager to see you, dear, as he said."<br> <br>Natska blushes, and it takes an effort of will to keep her ears from folding back at the praise. She accepts Hector's hand, and then Alexi's. "Yes, it is a pleasure! Your daughter is a very wonderful woman, who has won my heart many times over. I am Natska Ilyushkin." She bows her head to her love's parents, then settles into her own seat, smoothing out her dress. "She speaks highly of you both as well and I have been looking forward to meeting you."<br> <br>Cassidy folds her in her lap, letting the other three speak for the time being as she smiles, tail swaying happily behind her. "As I understand it, you've quite taken her heart, as well. Sounds like good love to me!" Alexi smiles and reaches up to rub at one of her ears as Hector nods. "Well met, miss Illyushkin. Please, do relax. Whatever happens here tonight, your coupling has our blessing. We know how Cass is, and nothing we could say would discourage her, anyway. Instead, we'd just like to get to know a little bit more about the woman our darling kit has been so smitten with. As we understand it, you were part of the Lightbringer unit? That certainly is a noble service, and a fair honour. Even if you missed its hayday."<br> <br>Natska relaxes, unable to feel anything but happy and comfortable in the face of such a warm reception. She reaches over and gives Cassidy's hand a squeeze, then smiles at Hector. "Yes, Cass can be very determined." She sits there a moment, then gives Hector a nod. "It was, and still is, an honor to work with your daughter. The Lightbringers were great, and even if I missed the more intense days I took as many assignments with them as I could. We did some good things as a unit, yes."<br> <br>Cassidy smiles fondly, squeezing Natska's hand in return, waving over a waiter to place her order with while the other three converse. "Yes, that is certainly a good thing to hear," Hector says, smiling at his own bond. "We are a military family, after all. Generally you try not to work on assignment with anyone you care deeply for, but when you often end up working alongside family, that is hard. So at least you two enjoy working together. Hopefully, that will give you an edge in your teamwork." Alexi speaks up, then, nodding. "Ah, but what about -you- yourself, dear?" The older fennec reaches up to adjust her glasses before smiling at Natska. "Cassidy tells me that you're fond of exploring as well? That is a good thing! Shared hobbies and interests are very good for a long, happy relationship."<br> <br>Natska shifts her weight in her seat a little, nodding. "Originally I just served my year and then left the army; I hadn't even thought of returning until I was asked to join the Lightbringers. And that was before we made our feelings known to eachother." She gives Cassidy another soft, warm smile, then pauses as food is ordered; for herself, Natska requests a grilled fish with a salad and a white wine. "I love exploring, yes. I have done a lot of work with the Freeswords, and covered a lot of Stillwater. Cass and I have gone exploring together as well, and we do make an excellent team. I like experiencing my life, seeing new things, and grand adventures. And I love indulging in the little things, like a warm meal after a long day, that quiet moment in the middle of the afternoon when the whole city pauses for a nice breeze, and time spent with the girl I love." She pauses then, her ear flicking, and looks over at Cass. "Goodness, I usually don't talk about myself this much. Usually I am asking other people about themselves."<br> <br>Cassidy can't help but giggles softly, wrapping an arm around Natska and nods, ordering a steak for herself, with a side of potatos and a glass of wine. Her father orders the same, except with a red wine instead of white, while her mother orders a bit of fish, like Natska had. "I know! But I like hearing the sound of your voice anyway, so please! Talk on," the younger vixen says with a grin. "My, my. You are quite an adorable couple," says the older woman, next. "A shame we won't have any grandchildren, but I can certainly overlook that with how happy you seem to make her. The way her face lights up when she's talking about you warms my heart. I have no doubt that you'll be a lovely addition to our family." Hector laughs softly and rubs at his chin. "We'll just have to put more pressure on Beth when she comes of age, huh?" he jests.<br> <br>Natska quietly murrs at Cass' giggle, delighted by the sound. She puts an arm around her beloved and gives her a quick hug back, then draws in a breath and nods at Cass' parents. "I am glad that does not bother you. I love Cassidy, with all of my heart, and I intend to spend the rest of my making her happy." She pauses a moment to sip at a glass of water, then smiles and shrugs. "I don't know what else I should cover. I came from a small family in a farming village. My father runs the general store. Mother's family was from a village just on the Cliffside side of the border." The jaguar pauses, and scratches at her ear. "Cass and I are similar enough to share many things - our appreciation for nice dresses, for good cake and cookies, for a glass of wine and some quiet reading as the evening winds down. But every day she delights me with something, and I hope I make her feel the same."<br> <br>Alexi flashes a warm smile and nods. "Nothing wrong with humble beginning. I, myself, was the daughter of a priest in Shralesta. And a bit of a priestess, myself, before I bonded with Hector here." She looks over at her daughter for a moment before grinning. "Yes, I think she feels very much the same. Whenever she would tell us about you during our family dinners, the expression she'd wear reminded me of my own, years ago." Hector rests a hand on Alexi's shoulder and gives a flick of his ears. "Yes, an unusual pairing, admittedly, but I also harbour no doubts that the feeling between you two is genuine." Cassidy blushes a little at that and scratches gently at Natska's back. "Yes, I am very much happy with her! She brought a lot of warmth and happiness into my life."

Dressed up in her favorite blue evening gown and long white gloves, with her hair done up tonight, Natska leads the way to the Blue Square Grill. The cafe's sign is a simple blue painted square and it is a smaller establishment, but the appointments and decor on the inside are rather classy. The party is led to a quiet table in the back, and there Natska pauses, smiling at Cassidy.

Cassidy follows along Natska, a happy smile on her face as she goes. She's dressed up in her more extravagant black and red dress, with the white ruffles. Her parents are likewise dressed in their finery. Her mother, the other fennec, was dressed up in a shimmery purple gown worn over her greying tan fur. Her father, a more typical red fox, was dressed in a black tailcoat not too different from the suits Cass usually wore. All three noble foxes seem fairly content to be here, though the vixens definitely moreso.

"Thank you again for coming tonight," Natska offers her beloved's parents, with a small curtsey. "It was kind of you to make time on short notice." She smiles then, and holds Cass' chair for her.

Cassidy settles into the chair, nodding happily as she looks up to her parents. "Yes, thank you!" Likewise, the male pulls out a chair for his bond before settling down next to her. "It is no problem. Cassidy has told us much about you, and speaks quite highly. We have been looking forward to getting to meet you." He offers a hand to the jaguar, a kind smile on his face. "I am Hector Solacious, and this is Alexi," he states, gesturing to his bond who offers a hand in turn. "A pleasure! Yes, I've been very eager to see you, dear, as he said."
