“I have to drop by my office. This”-she gestured around them-“wasn’t exactly my plan today and while the rest of the team will handle my cases ore they’ll be rescheduled, I have to grab a couple things from my office and Sickbay,” she said honestly. “Bu I also had a idea I wanted to run by you. Tomorrow, if you’re feeling up for it and I feel it’ll be okay for you, what would you say to Daggum dropping by and having coffee or something with us? You two can have some time to chat, if you like as well. But if you agree, I do need your permission to talk about our work together with him.”

“I’m sorry,” Viyara replied, her cheeks turning slightly pink as guilt washed over her. “I … I didn’t mean this to happen and to make things complicated for you.” She bowed her head and slightly chewed on her lower lip. And while she really liked the idea of Daggum dropping by, her mind was to focused on feeling guilty about this situation to articulate that.

Janna turned slightly to the french press and gave the contents a swirl, let it settle a moment and then slowly pressed the plunger. “S!$t happens, Viyara,” Janna said with a shrug. “Save apologies for when they actually matter. My doing my job doesn’t require one,” she said giving Nazeen a wink. “I wouldn’t be here with you if I didn’t think that this took priority and we both know that this is exactly where we both need to be,” she said as she slid the carafe over to Viyara.

Peering at Janna, Viyara nodded and even smiled ever so slightly. For even though she didn’t like feeling like she was incarcerated in a gold cage, she was very grateful for Janna and what she was trying to do for her. “Thank you-,” she whispered, hesitating slightly at the end. She had been about to add ‘Counsellor’, but then wondered if using her first name would be okay or too personal. So she left it at just ‘thank you’.

As she had before, Janna just smiled and gave a reassuring nod.

“You don’t have to decide just this second, but how do you feel about the idea of a friend coming for a visit. I mentioned Daggum since he was the one who knows at least some of your story and got you to talk to me, but any friend you feel comfortable with is okay.”

Smiling softly as she looked back up, Viyara replied, “I’d like to see him and I think he’d be relieved to know that I’m with you and getting help. I think he’s really worried about me. So you can talk to him and ask if he wants to come here.” She didn’t mention anyone else. After all, he was the only friend she had. So who else would there be who’d want to visit her? Or who she’d want to know at least some details about what was going on?

“Okay,” Kingston replied. She had had a plan in mind but as had happened often since they started their session today, Janna was being adaptable. “How do you feel about having say about half an hour to hour on your own here right now? I have a couple small tasks you can do while you have some downtime and I think actually now would be a good time for me to do my errands.”
