The song … particularly that last verse sent a shiver through Jace … he pictured himself being trapped on the arboretum and eaten by that plant.

“I see a snack right here! His spots are very clear! He’s a Trill working at the helm this year! He’s got a meaty thigh, I caught his wandering eye, I’d like to study all his internal geography!
So ten-der, so sweet, I really need a piece of meat! Can do, can do, This gal says the Helm will do!”

The words came to his head unbidden … and he shook again as he remembered them again.

He had been wanting to put the Counsellor visit off, but he knew that given this … he would either see the Counsellor or do something crazy … like become a dentist.

His hand reached out and tapped the Counsellor’s chime, he hoped this wasn’t too early or too late for the Counsellor.
