Cliff shot the woman a look, completely dumbfounded by what he was hearing about Maria. For one, she wasn't one to nag. For two--
"Who said 'daughter'? She's my boss."
A girl he rescued seven years ago, and a girl who rescued him and everything he cared about only a year or so before. Time flew, but Maria had matured into a strong young woman and a kind, compassionate leader.
"She's just been with Quark for a long time. Earthling girl. We didn't abduct her, but we couldn't just send her back where she'd be shuffled around from place to place until she found a home. 'Sides, of all the people I know, she's the one who understands our cause the most.
I dunno where you got that, and I'll bet ya 10 fol that you've got a daughter just like what you described."
