(( Counsellor's Office - Deck 7, USS Artemis-A ))
Jashkaa levelled her gaze at Gila for a moment, unblinkingly. The counsellor had suggested that Gila host a dinner party for some guests, in order to try to relax. It wouldn’t work, but it might teach ehr something.
Jashkaa: You will try. I want an appointment for it, in your calendar, with me as an invitee, before I will sign off on your survey mission.
Jashkaa tried not to roll her eyes at the comic display of anxiety elicited in Gila by the counsellor’s suggestion.
Sadar: Y-Y-Y-Y-You!? B-B-B-But, I don’t have the f-f-faintest idea how to cook for Orions! And besides, I, uhh, I’m sure you’re very busy, especially with the latest batch of Ensigns just boarding and, uhh-
Jashkaa: ::pursing her lips in a subtle show of amusement:: Don’t worry, I won’t attend.
Sadar: Y-Y-You won’t? ::tries to hide obvious relief and failing:: O-Okay.
Jashkaa folded her hands in her lap and cast a weary eye in Gila’s direction.
Jashkaa: You don’t want me to come? ::she shook her head slightly:: It’s only so I know that you’ve arranged it.
Sadar: Ah... Y-Yes, that makes sense. ::considers:: I-I’ll, uhh... I-I’ll get that sorted. As quickly as possible…
Because she’d been asked to do something, Gila started stressing, and she unconsciously wrung her anxiety band around her finger.
Jashkaa: Aaaand that’s time for today, Gila. Let me know how it goes.
Gila rose from her seat with a nod.
Sadar: Th-Thank you for your time, Counselor.
With a final nod in farewell, Gila left the office with a hunched back and eyes cast down to the ground in thought. Jashkaa shook her head, and turned back to her desk in order to write her summation of the session. This was going to be a long one.

"You know, I'm really easy to get along with most of the time, but I don't like bullies and I don't like threats, and I don't like you, Culluh. You can try and stop us from getting to the truth but I promise you that if you do I will respond with all the 'unique technologies' at my command." - Kathryn Janeway
