Sharah was in the arboretum today, and she was pretty sure that she would be most of the day. She’d left instructions for the staff where she would be, but to only come get her if it was an emergency. She had a very specific project she would be working on it and she didn’t want to be distracted. What was the project? Tel’eck and Ron’al. She was going to put them to work with a very special plant. And if they couldn’t work together well it wouldn’t go well for them. She had no doubt that Tel’eck was more than capable of doing it. She’d spent enough time around her to see that she could keep reign on any temper she might have. But from her one experience with Ron’al the boy had a temper and was angry and very prejudice. And that kind of anger and near hatred was something he had learned. He’d admitted it, that his father had told him all about it. And Sharah could NOT tolerate bullies.

She had several plants set out and tools, their parents were supposed to be coming with them as well. She finished setting everything out and waited for them to arrive.

It was mid-morning and today the school’s had off due to several races having holidays around the Federation. As a result Tel’eck arrived five minutes or so before she was expected to be in the Arboretum. Not too far behind her was Ron’al. Both were accompanied by their respective parents Drudoc and Faval. Faval looked.....to put it lightly grumpy as a Vulcan could be, Drudoc was the air of her usual self of self-discipline and command presence. Ron’al by any stretch of the imagination was even more grumpy looking then his father at having to be here. Tel’eck seemed cheery enough, but was also clearly taking this punishment seriously in the spirit it was to be given.

After changing into some garb suited for dirty work, both children and their parents came over to where Fayth was. Faval was the first to speak. “..So Lieutenant, what exactly is my son to be doing today?” He asked.

Sharah turned to the Lt. He might outrank her a bit, but he was also her subordinate. Which is something she felt he should strongly remember since he was passed over for the position, there must be a reason. Perhaps he should meditate on that a bit. But she kept it to herself. However, the single raised eyebrow and subtle shift in her stance would remind him VERY strongly of the Vulcan monks who taught in the schools. It was a look Sharah wasn’t even aware she had mastered, but it would be intimidating to the man. “Not just your son, Lt. Faval. As adults we are responsible for teaching the children, not just your own, how a Star Fleet officer and a decent person should act. You both,” and her gaze took in Drudoc as well as the children, “will be assisting the children in their work. The counselor will be joining us as well. But in the mean time Lt you will be working with Tel’eck and Cpt you will be working with Ro’nal. I’ve checked your records and you both have the basic understanding of how to transplant a plant. All four of you are equally responsible for the quality of the work. Cpt., Ro’nal follow me, please.”

Sharah leads them over to a more tropical area. There are several plants in pots here. “There was a problem with the irrigation system. These plants need to be put back into the bed. They are unique and very delicate. Instructions are on the PaDD in the crate Ro’nal. These are living breathing organisms the penalty for harming them will be severe.” Among these plants is a Chameleon rose from Betazed. It will change colors with Ro’nal’s mood and the captains.

Sharah returns and looks at Faval and Tel’eck. “Come with me, please.” She leads them to a different area. The light here was very dark. Among the plants were midnight orchids, Antarian Moon Blossoms, Night-Blooming Throgni, and a pet Vine. “These, except the vine, are night blooming plants. They are delicate and you will have to work in the low light. The vine is a Pet Vine from Betazed, it likes this area and the other plants here. It thrives. It will shriek if you hurt it. They are out growing this area and need to be moved to the ajacent bed for more room. Instructions are on the PaDD in the crate Tel’eck. These are living breathing organisms; the penalty for harming them will be severe.”

Sharah then moved away. She’d be able to tell what was going on without being right next to either pair, but she did return to both pairs frequently in case they needed assistance.
