Story at AO3.

Since this is a drabble, I'm actually posting the text here:

The Minbari of Jeffrey Sinclair’s time prided themselves on maintaining tradition, but centuries were a very long time. While Jeff’d realized that he’d be leaving behind what he knew-- family, friends, the art and music of Earth-- he hadn’t realized the degree to which Minbar a thousand years before his birth would be an alien place. The historic buildings and locations he’d visited as ambassador had seemed ancient, but few of them had been old enough to pre-date his new temporal address. The food was different, too, and the customs and the language.

Valen was Minbari but not of Minbar.
