Lan's parents are both merchants, powerful empaths and telepaths and devout Silent Way practitioners, traditionalists to the point that Lan can't remember having heard their voice more than a handful of times. | Lan's parents are both merchants, powerful empaths and telepaths and devout Silent Way practitioners, traditionalists to the point that Lan can't remember having heard their voice more than a handful of times. | ||

The discovery of his disability has hit them hard, and they have always considered it as an ordeal sent to test their worth. This resulted in a somewhat stricter training regimen than usual for Lan. In the long term, this stern treatment helped him master his abilities and adjust to everyday life, but of course the young Lan begged to differ. | ||

This soured the relationship between the Riels, and during his last visit on Darona, Lan's mother bid him farewell vocally instead of using telepathy, something that she had only done in the past in the few occasions when she had to interact with aliens. | Later in life, Lan strayed further from his predestinations, to the point of joining Starfleet.

Both enjoyed each other's presence and sense of humour, which helped them greatly since their dates were almost systematically interrupted by catastrophic events of system-wide magnitude. | ||
