Would it be seen as arrogant for someone outside of the family culture to speak with the parents in a situation like this? In other words, what sorts of things should I be sensitive to in preparation for the meeting?

If you know where the family is from, it might be helpful to look up some cultural norms. I.E., is all information filtered through the father/patriarch, when is it/is it not appropriate to make eye contact and with whom, polite greetings (in some cultures, women shaking hands with men is a no no, etc.). Also, being sure you can correctly pronounce last and first names (be careful about using first names...also a cultural thing) shows care on your part. Also, take note of appropriate dress (typically, more conservative dress (pinwear is what I think you NPC girls deam it
is a better choice).
