Counselor's Office

[Counselor Artasa Avery]

Tasa hung another landscape on the wall of her new office, then stepped back to view the effect. Her long black hair was braided down her back to keep it out of her way, but several strands had escaped anyway, curling slightly against her face and neck. Another transfer... and just when she was starting to really feel at home...

From his crib in the corner, Liam cooed softly, coaxing a smile out of his mother. At least he seemed to be taking the move well. "Sleep tight, little one..."

She had no appointments yet, but she wondered if any of the crew might stop in anyway.

[Seirtuk]

Walked down the Corridor toward what he knew was the Counselors office and, rang the Chime.

[Counselor Artasa Avery]

"Come in," she called, sitting down behind her desk.

[Seirtuk]

As the door opened he stepped in slowly as he took in the office and such, he raised a Brow in approval not that one was neded just he was impressed. he walked to the desk and took a seat." Wanted to meet our knew Counselor. It has been a long time since we have had a Counselor." I assume you have read my Files but anything youi wish to know about myself or the crew?
I know they certainly will want to get to know you."

[Counselor Artasa Avery]

She nods. "I like to set a preliminary appointment with the crew members to get to know them a little outside of their files. Just to kind of get a feel for where they are mentally and emotionally before I try to help them with their problems." She reaches for her notebook and flips it to the page with his name on it, scanning over the notes she'd made from his file in the first two columns on the page. "If there's anything you'd like to talk about now, I have some time. Or if you have any questions for me, I'd be happy to answer them."

[Seirtuk]

He gave a thoughtful nod." I have no real question though I hope Liam is doing well. I do want to make you aware that should you study closely my Medical files you will notice a few anomalies I am uncertain whether Commander Tarrosh left any notes but, I did have rather a terrible ordeal with the Borg. I do from time to time seem to sense them, whether i do or it is something else i cannot say. I wanted to make you aware."

[Counselor Artasa Avery]

"Liam is adjusting very well," she said with a smile. "And I'll be certain to look at your files more closely when I have a moment. This ordeal with the borg... I admit I haven't had any experience with them, or those who have met them, so it will be a learning experience for me."

[Seirtuk]

Gets more comfortable in the seat," Well only so much you can glean from files I am sure whatever is in them you are up to date already. What it may not tell you is ther was a Time I was acting Commanding officer of the Intrepid that being long before Fleet Captain Holmes took Full Command. Sometimes I feel that i was Commanding officer of the Triton." Shruggs, But thats not possible right?

[Counselor Artasa Avery]

"I suppose it is," she said, making a note in the third column in her notebook. "Why were you acting as the commanding officer?" She leaned forward slightly, showing her interest.

In his sleep, Liam cooed softly, earning a warm smile from his mother.

[Seirtuk]

"I cannot explain. Just there are timesI can see myself in the Command chair, yet I know I turned down a chance at a full Command some years ago. I had my fill of Command at Acting Commanding officer of the Intrepid." he blinked he really did not aim to intrude or keep her from Liam. "Please excuse my manners you must be tired I should go."

[Counselor Artasa Avery]

"It's quite alright," she said with a smile. "I enjoy having someone to talk to- well, someone who can talk back anyway. Please, feel free to drop by anytime."

[Seirtuk]

Stood gave a polite nod looked Liams way and gave a slight smile uncharacteristic of Vulcans but then he did enjoy his Romulan heritage as well. "Have a good evening then." he turned and exited her office.

It was several weeks later and her new office was finally beginning to feel like home. She was busy transferring notes from her last appointment from her notebook to a PADD. A soft lullabye played through the room: a recording of her mother from years ago.

Tasa looked up from her work to check on Liam. He was playing contentedly with a toy her father had given him, a model of a starfleet ship. Holding it in his chubby green hands, he chewed on the edge, drool dribbling down his chin. Tasa laughed, and he turned toward the sound. His mouth opened into that huge baby grin as he laughed too, making his mother laugh even harder. "What's so funny, Green Bean?" she asked, making faces at him.

Liam put his thumb to his chin, fingers outstretched in the sign for mommy. They he raised his hands to be picked up. Tasa got up and lifted Liam in her arms, hugging him tightly.

[Lt. Ivery Kestra]

He had the worse case of the needing to talk to someone. The Counselor seamed to be a good choice she was approchable and needless to say possibly able to help him out of this rather difficult mental state he got himself worked into over the past few days. Being unable to report to duty because of illness now that he was well enough he desided to come for a visit under the intent of seeing how little Liam was doing now that the whole away mission got done and he was properly reintegrated back into his duties as cheif of medican. He rang the chimes and waited for a response.

[Counselor Artasa Avery]

"Come in," she called, moving to sit behind her desk and shifting Liam to sit in her lap.
