Jerrin had just folded his arms across his chest, but beyond the sullenness there was a tiny thread of fear. He was good at not showing it on his face though, even if he knew his mom and the counsellor likely would figure it all out. They always did. Feet crossed at the ankles, one foot moved back and forth.

Her story about Commander Range had not had the effect on Jerrin she would have preferred, but Siennadye was hardly one to be deterred in her efforts so easily. She could feel his fear as much as she did the very characteristic sullenness that came from all teenagers. She wondered how she would approach this situation. Before meeting the boy, she had not really thought of a specific plan. There were vaguely outlined options, but she didn’t want to make any choices until she had met him.

For her part, Vora just relaxed into the chair, glanced at Jerrin and then at Nox. “So, here we are. And you should know that we’ve also met with the captain, and Jerrin, by his own agreement, is going to be doing some work around the ship with different departments.”

She was glad to see Vora relaxing. For the most part, she was just wanted Vora here to assist if necessary. “I had heard something to that effect might be possible. I think it is an excellent idea.”

She turned her dark Betazoid gaze to Jerrin. She seemed relaxed and exuded a nonchalance. “I wonder, Jerrin, what you think I called you here for? I am curious to know what you think of me, counselors, Betazoid counselors, this office?

Nox, CNS

Jerrin half sighed, though it only came out as a soft exhale. “I’m here because I was stupid and got angry and hit someone, I don’t know you so don’t have an optinon, I don’t generally like counsellors though there has not been that many on this ship to actually see, I don’t care that you are Betazoid, or at least I don’t think it matters, and I really don’t have much to think about this office other than this chair is a bit on the small side for my liking and my mom must find sitting a lot of places weird at times since she’s actually technically taller than me,” he said, answering each question perfectly in the order she stated them.
