Alexander was practically leaping around the room when his father finally arrived home. Worf looked exhausted, but that fact was completely missed by his young son, who was eager to speak with him.
"Father!" He exclaimed, "Father, I helped the captain!"
When Worf did not acknowledge him, Alexander moved to stand in front of him, blocking his path.
"Father! Did you hear me? I helped Captain Picard! We trapped the Ferengi! Father? Father!"
"Alexander!" Worf's tone caused an immediate halt to Alexander's exclamations and he wilted, looking down at his feet. There was a long silence in which the boy shifted uncomfortably. He looked up when he felt his father's hand rest on his shoulder.
"You performed admirably. You have brought honour to our house."
Alexander beamed.
