Ensign Meris - A Quiet Place

[Meris/Brian]

(( Counseling Suites – Deck 7, USS Artemis-A ))

 

Meris stepped into the softly lit lounge, pausing to take in the space. The room carried the atmosphere of a refined retreat, with low seating in warm tones and bowls of fresh fruit gleaming under soft light. It reminded them faintly of the Civic Chambers of Wentaii in J’naris – a place designed for harmony and deliberation, where silence was as important as speech. They thought of the walking garden that wound through the pella plants there, a space set aside for balance between judgment and reflection.

 

oO A place built for quiet contemplative thought. For breathing. Oo

 

Rather than head straight for the inner door, Meris chose one of the seats. They settled with deliberate ease, letting their gaze wander over the lines of the room, absorbing the textures and colors as though cataloging them. Their hands rested loosely on their knees, posture open, waiting without hurry.

 

The hinged door squeaked and Meris looked up, their eyes taking in every detail of Commander Lux's appearance. They rose as the Counselor entered the anteroom.

 

Meris: Lieutenant Commander Lux I presume?

 

Lux: Response.

 

Meris: I am pleased to meet you Commander. ::offering their hand::

 

Lux: Response.
