Vel walked purposefully towards the counselor’s office, knowing she needed her evaluation before she could begin her duties, but wondering if she NEEDED a counselor. Surely logic could help her asses all of her issues and lead her to the correct decisions.
She had read the counselor’s file and knew she was held in high regard, so perhaps it would it hurt to see her side of things, to see how she came to conclusions. It fascinated Vel how other species used intuition and emotion to help make decisions and lead their lives.
As she approached the office she put her head down ever so slightly, as was her way, and fingered the comm. & listened to it’s chirps, “Cadet Vel, reporting for my scheduled Psych Eval.”

Cadet Vel-Doctor

=/\=Come on in,=/\= a slightly cheery voice replied through the comm from inside the office.

Lidra had a small but cozy office, and she had arranged things in a fairly practical and standard way. There was a sitting area (a small sofa and a couple slim armchairs) tucked on one side across from the 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.

The pink-haired Denobulan gestured to the sitting area as she lifted a steaming mug containing something sweet smelling from the replicator near her desk. “Welcome. I’m Liadra. Who might you be and can I get you anything to drink while I’m over here?”

Vel noted a light tone in the counselor’s voice upon her answering the comm as she stepped inside to take in the Lt. Commander’s office.
“I am Cadet Vel, as previously stated, I am reporting for my psych eval. You would be wanting more information than I have provided I would assume? Vel took in the pink liquid the counselor was about to imbibe. “Green tea with ginger, thank you. Would you mind if I asked what you are having?” Vel stepped into the room further and rested her hands behind her back at parade rest awaiting further instruction.”

OOC: Her hair is pink, not her drink. BUT, Liadra would absolutely go and find brightly coloured drinks to enjoy, lol.
IC:
Liadra’s face spread into an extra-wide grin. “Ktarian chocolate mocha. I have a terrible sweet tooth!” she said wth a light laugh. “Go on and take a seat cadet while I get your drink. I promise the chair and sofa don’t bite.” Yes, the cadet had to repeat herself, but she managed to do it without making it known, so there was that.

One would assume Vel should make herself “comfortable” and of course her couch will not bite. The couch does actually look quite soft and the counselor does appear to be rather… Friendly… as many species have been known to say. Bubbly? Vel knew she had heard this term used to describe people as well. Vel has been rather distracted lately with her work and studies, she always has been, which is another reason why she may have mistaken the pink details when doing the quick scan of the room. Maybe the counselor could help Vel learn how to, how do they say… Lighten up? “Counselor, could I try one of those mochas as well?”

Liada’s grey eyes considered Vel deeply for a moment and her smile didn’t grow, but somehow deepened. “Of course.”

Ordering a second mocha for the cadet, the counsellor, moved across the office and set the drink down in front of Vel before taking a seat in one of the armchairs. Wrapping her hands around her own mug, the Denobulan took a breif moment to savour the warmth radiating into her palms before she took a sip. Ahhh! Bliss, she thought to herself, grateful for even the small things.

“So, tell me about yourself and your time at the Academy so far,” Liadra said finally.

Lt. Cmdr. Liadra, CNS

Vel took the warm beverage and crossed to sit at the edge of the provided seat. Taking in the aroma of the chocolate she felt a sensation she did not know how to explain. She looked across at the counselor before taking a cautious sip, both because of the temperature and because she thinks she truly wanted to “like” this beverage, as well as Liadra, or, the counselor of course. Taking in the smooth concoction she couldn’t help but close her eyes for a second and just… “Be?” Vel, straightened and poised herself, but made it a point to sir back in the seat just a bit and look over at the counselor. “Thank you for seeing me. I have spent much of my time in Starfleet, and medical school studying, not only my core curriculum, but everything. I am afraid I am not very social, even for Vulcan standards. I think I would like to try and remedy that course of action, or shall you say, plot a new one?” Vel realizing she just said more about her feelings or personal life to any human or any being for that matter for as long as she could remember realized she was being foolish and began studying the colors in the counselor’s office to see for what era, scheme, or pattern she or whomever laid the decor in the room had made the plans. “I have had the field of medical studies focusing primarily on trauma, but I well adept in many specialties counselor.”

Liadra leaned back and nodded, sipping at her drink for a moment. “Being able to adapt is a very beneficial skill, especially in your field, and especially in Starfleet.” She noted Vel’s gaze travelling the room and she smiled slightly. Her little office hadn’t been modified all that much beyond the original layout but it was cozy and functional and suited her need to make her guests feel at ease. It was, however, also a place of work and though Liadra could be an unconventional counsellor at times, she was still very professional.

“What do you think a more social life look like for you, Vel?” the Denobulan asked simply.

OOC: Now is a good time to snip the thread down. Go ahead and get some practice. If you need guidance, let me know and I’ll walk you through it.
