Finally, he was on his last check-in, the Counselor’s office was only a short distance from the sickbay, and he was oddly the only one in line. Hmm, was I supposed to check in with the Counselor first? As he entered, he noticed that the atmosphere was more inviting, he almost felt relaxed. Around him there were floral arrangements in colorful vases, the furniture also appeared to be non-standard issued, actually plush. He also noticed that the light fixtures were brass and fashioned into multiple styles. Finally, he found himself standing in front of the counselor, “Cadet Wiley reporting, Ma’am.”

OOC: Welcome aboard! Just a couple notes as you get settled: don’t forget to sign off at the end of each post. I’ve done it above as an example (name, rank and position/dept). Secondly, normally, just like we wouldn’t assume anything about another person’s character, we try to not assume much about another person’s space. Since Liadra has been on the ship a little while now and her office is fairly well established, describing it for me would be a no-no. But I love that you are using description and so I can make this work for us. I’m simply going to assume for this thread that there is a reception area before you actually get into the individual offices (with the assumption that there is more than one counsellor on a ship this busy and Liadra manages any assistants).

The dark haired ensign turned and smiled at John. “Good day!” she greeted. “I’m not actually a counsellor, just an assistant but Dr. Liadra should be available in a couple minutes if you want to have a seat,” she said, gesturing to one of the plush chairs in the waiting area.

“Actually,” I’m free,” a cheery sounding woman said as she came out of one of the offices. She was very clearly Denobulan from her ridges and colouring and her grey eyes were piercing as she took in the cadet. But just in case one might think her overly serious, her normally blond hair was dyed a pale pink. “I have some time if you want to come with me.”

After his initial mistake with entering the Security office without knocking, he was relieved to know that at least someone on this vessel was going to be forgiving to him today. He no longer felt as nervous as he had only twenty minutes earlier. Noticing the dark haired ensign’s rank, John said, “thank you, ensign.” He then turned to the Denobulan counsellor and replied, “thank you, ma’am. I am ready and willing.”

Gesturing with her head, she smiled warmly at Wiley. “Well then, come on in, if you dare,” Liadra said with a comically exaggerated waggle of her eyebrows.

Inside, the small office wasn’t oppressively so, and she had the sitting area (a small sofa and a couple slim armchairs) tucked on one side across from her desk where another chair was opposite where she worked. On the wall above the sitting area was a moderate sized painting that was clearly abstract with washes of yellows, blues and greys. Beside her desk was a large leafy dark green plant with a single stalk of trumpet shaped flowers in a vivid violet.

“Why don’t you have a seat and tell me your name?” Liadra said as she stepped through the door.
