[The face on the screen is very human: a tall, well-built korean man in a dark blue winter jacket with white snow fresh in his hair. The accent, language, and name, however, match someone else entirely. Kang stuffs his hands into his pockets and leans against the wall of the office building behind him.]

I'm sure most of us that have moved on-planet have found lodgings. For those who haven't, or need repairs, I have more than enough experience with construction, and I can assist.

[Private to Crucible:]

The results are in.

That is understandable, this climate is quite unforgiving.

[That much made sense to him, though the weather was little bother for the bronze it would be much worse for draconians.

He dips his head slightly in acknowledgment of the news, his expression unreadable for a moment. To know now at least to a greater margin where there relation through blood lay. A nephew then, or great-nephew rather than a direct product of his own eggs or a far more distant relation.

His thoughtful look remained for a moment longer before he spoke, his tone not unfriendly. Kang after all was one draconian that he would proud to have relation to. Though he may not admit it as directly as much.]

Uncle indeed, far from a distant relation then it seems. Even on Krynn however one would have difficulty locating my clutchmates, of those who remain at least.

[governorkang]

[He smiles wryly. It's an attempt to inject some humor into the situation.]

You'll understand if you aren't invited to family functions.

[The next part is serious, and it's a big thing for him to allow.]

I'd prefer you keep our relation quiet, unless it comes up directly in conversation. Aurican, of course, is mine to deal with.

[dragonlordbight]

[He gives a wry chuckle. Better to go along with the humor to lighten the mood.]

Of course, it would make for quite the awkward function otherwise I would wager.

[Crucible inclines his head to Kang's request, his expression and tone making it clear that he took it just as seriously.]

I shall not speak a word of it unless the matter comes up specifically. Of course, such is your right.

[governorkang]

[Another small smile, though this one has a hint of actual humor and genuineness to it.]

Thank you.

[For respecting his wishes, for agreeing to the test in the first place... and for helping to bring him peace of mind.]

[dragonlordbight]

[Crucible inclines his head slightly in acknowledgment, a genuine small smile of his own evident on his features.]

You are welcome, Kang.

[It was the least he could do, for one whose people had suffered greatly at the hands of his own.]
