Ben started down the passage way, then realized he wasn’t sure where T’Lora’s quarters were. “Maybe you should lead the way.” He let T’Lora guide him as he held her hand and they proceeded. In his mind he was wondering what her quarters would be like, he knew his were pretty spartan. Maybe doctors had larger living spaces than other crew members. He was also anticipating the mind-meld, wondering what it would be like to know someone’s thoughts and dreams. The idea seemed so very intimate, he quickly scanned his thoughts, was there anything he wouldn’t want T’Lora to know, he couldn’t really think of anything. If he was willing to share his life, his mind was also part of the deal.
