The Doctor stood in front of the counselors office wondering how things would go this time. Laughing to herself not really even sure how things went the last time. Mustering up any courage she might have left after her disastrous arrival aboard the Wolverine, and determined to be a bit more self confident she knocked a bit too loudly on the door….

The tiny office was even smaller than most people expected, but Ayla was used to it. Still, she wished she had a replicator there, since it was a useful tool during session, but since no one else had them either it was at least fair. It didn’t mean that people couldn’t surprise her, and the knock rather than the chime threw for her a moment. She listened for a moment and got up to open the door, since the vocal command wasn’t an option. She stood just off to the side so as to not be imposing to whomever might be there.

Seeing the new face, she smiled warmly. “Hello, come on in and let me know what I can do for you,” she said with a wave of her hand, letting Mantis enter.

At least with the smaller space, there was little room for clutter, so a desk on one side with her chair and a set of chairs on the opposite side of the room were all the furniture to be found. There was only a few feet between them, but she had managed to make the place not entirely utilitarian by the addition of a mirror ball. It sat in a wrought iron stand beside the desk and in the corner, and on the wall between the two chairs was a slightly abstract tapestry depicting a sunrise/sunset scene over water.

Squeezing past the woman in the entrance of the tiny office space she let her eyes scan the surroundings and slid into the first chair she came to. “Hello there Ma’am,” the words escaped her lips with a slight Irish lilt. “I’m a new doctor just arrived from the academy, reporting for my psych evaluation. Mantis, the names Lenore Mantis Ma’am.” Looking up confidently as she could, shoulders back extending a hand.

The Napean took the proffered hand as she sat in the other chair and gave it a firm squeeze while she bowed her head, as a compromise between greeting styles. Her hazel eyes gazed directly at Lenore and exuded warmth. “Welcome aboard the Wolverine, Lenore. I’m Ayla Sharise, the one and only counsellor aboard. And please, you can dispense with the ‘ma’ams’. I prefer a more casual space. Otherwise it makes it harder to have the open conversations people sometimes need to.”

Tucking a loose set of chocolate strands of hair that had fallen out of her single braid, her leaf shaped forehead ridge was prominently visible. “So, tell me about your last days at the Academy and what’s happened to this point. How’s the transition been?”
