“Sometimes,” She said shyly before elaborating. “It was worst in the Academy when people talked about home and family, I would get angry or upset sometimes both.” Kala blinked the tears back that she had been soo dutifully hiding, she hated this part of the conversation. “I would let myself become consumed in my work, I wouldn’t eat or I’d have to blow off steam in the holodeck but not the good kind, I’d just shout for hours at my father telling him what I thought, that I miss him and my family but never have I let it affect my work, I am proud of what I have achieved even if he isn’t.”
~Ens. Kala Gorvel.

“And it worked?” Guy asked as he leaned her some wipes “Sometimes human-computer interaction can help. Sometimes, instead human-human interaction is the key. If the holodeck instead of helping you did harm you, why you’d not try go for a week on your homeworld and talk with your family in a neutral zone?” Guy posed down the notebook and the pen “I did try it. I failed if I need to be completely honest, my mother is still by this idea, my father instead has changed partner and doesn’t even recognize me as his son by now. But yet, it helped me to… to end this pain. Somewhat I realized that even if I am stuck with this job, I know I can now do whatever I want, because I do not have a family anymore to trust to.
It came to a price tho and that’s the fact I am seen like a jerk, which I believe I am because I limit my interaction. I am not that trustworthy and willing to trust. Still I’ve tried to reason with them and… and I believed in them again for once again.” He stared at Kala’s eyes directly almost dropping a tear himself keeping his composure and serious face.

Taking the tissues Kala dabbed the corner of her eyes before crunching it up as if to capture the sadness and lock it away. “Its honestly only temporary pain relief and I just don’t know if I can face them, him nor the other way around. I haven’t seen then face to face in so many years” She added before watching the man in front of him now face his own personal emotions as if Kala was his mirror.

“If you want to know and try to resolve it, this is one of the way. It is direct and you can face those who hunts you all the days. Otherwise we can try a more passive approach and try pass some time together talking about beautiful things happened to both of us.”

“I think I’d like that, I don’t think I have ever spoken to anyone not even another counselor this in-depth about… my problems” Kala said in a shaky voice before adding. “Its nice in a sadistic way to have someone who knows my pain, I would like to spend more time with you, over the next few months?” She asked in a questioning tone “Just talk about anything but this… until I’m ready again?”
~Ens. Kala Gorvel.

“A-Alright.” Guy was surprised, involuntary rising one of his eyebrows while writing down stuff and then putting datas into the PaDD “If the direct approach isn’t viable… well I can book you a weekly session for three/four months after which I’ll be reviewing your case again and decide whether it is necessary to continue, or stop these sessions.” Guy inputted some dates into the calendar “Or… Or if you just want to stop.” He said it almost with a regretful tone. It was awkward, pretty awkward for him.

Since he stepped the Ark Angel stuff were suddenly going weirdly for the Counselor, but the visit of the Ensign changed him pretty heavily as he remained silent and astonished, not criticizing the patient’s story. Maybe because she was like a past him? Who knows.
“For today we’re done, Ms. Kala. If you have something to ask?” He questioned the Ensign.

Kala shook her head and bowed it slightly. “Thank you, I think this talk has helped me a lot and given me something to think about.” She stood up and smiled at the man in front of her, not really the hugging type like some counselors liked to do at the end of a session she stood awkwardly alone for a moment “Well, I suppose I best be off I’ve cried enough for one day I think” A nervous chuckle leaving the bottom of her chest.
~Ens. Kala Gorvel.

Guy followed after and got up using both arms to make pressure on the legs. As he stood up, the Uniform was somewhat rough and he needed to adjust it “Next session is Wednesday, 1630 hours. Don’t be late, don’t take… anything with you. I appreciated your gift but I am nothing worth of being gifted.” He said holding his PaDD under his armpit with the other hand leaning forward for a hand shake “So, we’ll see then? In the meanwhile work hard you’ll notice that after all your family is just a part of your life, not everything.” He kinda smiled with roughness and awkwardness.

Kala smiled politely and shook his hand before adding, the fact he said he was not worth being gifted only meant she was most certainly going to bring something again for him. “I’ll be here at 1630 on Wednesday” She repeated before adding, “Thanks for everything Counsellor.” With the pleasantries over she released his hand, turned, and proceeded to leave the room with a more positive mood than when she arrived.
~Ens. Kala Gorvel

Guy looked the Ensign leaving with sense of weirdness that day. He perhaps stopped her and said few words: “You’re a great person.” And then “You’re fit for duty, for now.”

For the rest of the duty shift, he remained stuck with a thought of his parents and how harshly he had to fight to get well as he was at that point. Perhaps it was a liberation for him being assigned on the Ark Angel since the accident? Maybe. Only time could say.
For now the door opened, and swiftly closed behind, leaving the Lieutenant to think about it for some days along.

OOC: and this is done! If you would like to appoint me another session, remember to be kind to the new Guy. Still don’t let your guard down ;)
