“Geoff, nor any of the plants, are a burden. They bring me a lot of peace.” Sharah really isn’t sure what else to say or if she should. Her plants are personal, but Geoff belongs to Tabris. “I…I might could teach you. Geoff is sentient so it might work. I don’t know. As far as I know there is no other empath, anywhere, that can sense plants like I do. But sentient plants are much like small animals, so it would be possible, I think. But you probably would rather stay away from me.”

Tabris nodded and said, “I would like nothing more than to learn from you.” He said with a pause as he thought ‘I’d like to give you a hug out of comfort but I don’t dare without permission. “I still forgive you and invite you to react to my thoughts if you wish. I also would love to learn from you.”

Tabris might be willing to forgive her, but she wasn’t. Sharah lived in a world where even other telepaths found her to have a lack of discipline. The problem with that was they had no idea. They had no idea how disciplined and strong she really was. And to show them could hurt them. So she lives to a higher standard than they could possibly imagine, and she gives no room for mistakes. And there were the rumors that Tabris overheard. She looks down her ring catching her eye I love you, Sharah. Stop being afraid.

Today though she’d spent a large amount of time with the XO, CNS, and doctor. It wasn’t a pleasant experience but it was a good one. So n the flip side of her shame and self directed disappointment is the crew of Ark Angel. Who, at least those she directly worked with, were accepting and kind. They wanted to help and let her be her. Which was overwhelmingly confusing to Sharah. “I would be happy to try and show you.” She looks around, “I seem to have stepped into the middle of your work. I’ll move out of the way.”

Tabris nodded, understanding that he had spoken his piece and was going to let the lieutenant be regarding the incident. He didn’t hold her accountable, he didn’t know why she was being so hard on herself, and he didn’t want to make her feel bad for continuing with it so he dropped it. Those previous thoughts were in the open should she want to hear them but he wasn’t going to push the matter. “I would be honored to learn from you Sharah, if you don’t mind me using your given name that is I don’t want to be rude.” He said with a smile. “No problem at all, this is your home on-board after all. Please don’t let me be in your way.” He said before the ringing of the chime.

Meanwhile at the door it suddenly chimed showing someone was outside!

Mystery Visitor

Sharah only knew a couple people who could get to her door without her knowing who it was… “Come in.”

Lt jg Fayth, CSO

The door opened and there was EXR-11! It whirred into the room, and its head swiveled around a full 360 degrees to take in the room’s appearance before settling on the two officers. =/\= Greetings sentients, EXR-11 would like to offer our services to hold things in construction of your humble living space, if you like? =/\= It said, clearly again it was Tel’eck, just with her voice disguised and muffled this time with a slight voice filter applied showing the children had tried to make modifications to their robot.

EXR-11

Sharah grinned, the appearance of the children’s robot making her smile. She shrugged. “Certainly EXR-11. This is En Tabris Adam. It will be up to him. En this is EXR-11.” Sharah moved out of the way towards the bedroom. She didn’t want her toes being rolled over.

Lt jg Fayth, CSO

Whirring on its treads EXR-11 shifted to focus fully upon Tabris. =/\= Greetings to you Ensign! How might I help if such is desired? =/\= It stated

EXR-11

Tabris looked the robot up and down with a grin on his face as he said, “It’s very good to meet you EXR-11. I would love your help with this project.” He replied, figuring it was created by the kids on-board but wasn’t aware that it was being remote controlled. He started by saying, “How would be best for me to share your duties, verbally or shall I upload the plans?” Tabris asked as he got on one knee to be eye level with the robot’s dome.
