Marlene grinned. “I certainly do.” She downed the remainder of her drink, and called over the bartender, motioning that he bring two glasses. He nodded and then returned shortly with two glasses of the brown liquid she had been drinking.

“I insist you share some of this with me,” She said, sliding one of the drinks over to Liadra. “This is from my own personal stash. It’s a maple flavored bourbon.” She became more serious. “And if you tell another soul about my authentic alcohol stores I will slip itching powder into your food.” She gave the other woman a wink.

“Death by itching. What an unpleasant way to go,” the Denobulan said with a quiet laugh, genuinely amused. “But sure, I shall try some. Just don’t ask me to finish it if I don’t like it.”

Liadra eyed the drink and took a cautious sip. It was strong, that much was certain, but there was a slight sweetness to it she wasn’t expecting. “I’m not sure if I like it, but I don’t dislike it either.”

“So, ask me questons,” The green skinned doctor said, after a sip of her drink, her edge seemingly gone. “That is what you counselors are so good at.”

“Questions are just one means to get to know a person. A decent therapist is able to use the many unspoken ways of communication to gather information too.” Liadra smirked. “It really depends on the motive of the question-asking. What am I trying to achieve? Is that the best way way to reach that goal? Is it in the best interest of the person before me? But I’ll indulge you at the moment and ask one, or more, depending on your answer,” she said with a wide grin.

Eyeing Marlene, Liadra became a tiny bit more serious. “What worries you about people knowing about your file?”
