A few hours had passed since his not so productive conversation with Cochrane but despite his best efforts hitting several hundred pucks at an empty hocket net Luke needed something or somewhere to cool down. He didn’t know how or even why he gravitated towards the Counselling suits but he knew that if anyone was able to help him it would be someone who was trained in doing just that. He had changed into his uniform, there was no relaxing after the hour he just had and after this, he planned on going to do some extra work, give on of the ensigns the night off, hell maybe all of them. He hesitated outside the door but when someone left, an engineer he was exposed and decided since he had already been seen he might as well head inside. He looked around to see if anyone was free when he saw the all to familiar white hair of Counsellor Rollo. “Excuse me counsellor” He called out trying to get her attention.

Rollo had just accompanied NEProctor out of her office and was about to check with Yeoman Brooks to see if her next appt was going to show up, when someone called her. Turning, she saw Lt Wyatt, looking agitated. Brooks said something to her softly, Zef heard and nodded, then moved over to Luke.

“I wasn’t expecting to see you. What can I do for you?”

—Rollo, CNS

“Sorry, I was just hoping to see if you had a minute It was either this or find myself at the bottom of a bottle and honestly I dont want to be that person.” Luke admitted looking between Zef and the other woman. “I can wait, or I can come back later but If I dont try and figure this out Im going to go crazy or worst hurt someone.” He wasn’t a violent type but Cochran had cause one of humans primal natures out of him, violence, anger and a little bit of hate. Despite what Cochran told him or thought those were not him.

It was a cry for help and Zef couldn’t ignore it or put it off. The reality was that it might not turn out to be as serious as Wyatt let on, but with an admission that he might hurt himself or someone else, she had to investigate immediately. “Alright, let’s go into my office and sort this out.” She turned and held a hand out in the direction he should go and then told Brooks. “Reschedule my appts for the next two hours. This might take a while.”

—Rollo, CNS

A pang of guilt stung him but Luke was however grateful, he needed to speak to someone whilst his emotions were still raw and he knew that what he said was the harsh reality of it, he followed Rollo smiling somewhat at Brooks as they disappeared towards what was either her office or a counselling suite. He stood awkwardly waiting for his next instructions.

Rollo led him into her office and closed the door behind them. Luke would see a choice of seating options. There were a couple of chairs on the visiting side of her desk and also a seating area. “Sit wherever you like. Would you like something to drink?” She didn’t offer everyone a refreshment, but he appeared in emotional distress and just dealing with ‘normal’ things like a glass of tea or cup of coffee, might make him a little more comfortable.

While he made his choices, she walked to the small replicator and ordered a glass of iced coconut water for herself.

—Rollo, CNS

“No thankyou I’m good” He replied not really feeling the want nor need for any refreshments of the solid or liquid variety. Luke scanned the room and chose a random seat, there wasn’t any reason behind the one he chose, just that it was closest.

  • Lt Luke Wyatt

She returned, drink in hand and took a seat opposite him. “Alright then. Why are you feeling on the edge? What’s happened to put you in such a state?”

—Rollo, CNS

Luke moved uncomfortably in his seat until he calmed himself and he remembered that he had come to her. “I think I’m making some terrible decision, and I feel powerless, I feel people are making my choices for me and I’m going little crazy. I just left the Captain and I was about to go see Lietenant Calloway but I don’t want to do anything stupid. Which usually happens.” He avoided making eye contact with Zef.

  • Lieutenant Luke Wyatt

Zef’s brows furrowed a bit. “Why would it be stupid to go and see the Lt?” She needed some background with details.

—Rollo, CNS

He shrugged and then realised he was acting childish, “I haven’t been doing such a good job of being a friend. I have feelings for her and well that’s something Im not sure is such a good idea given her current state of mind.” He explained the words not entirely his own but the truth to some degree. “I just dont know what to do, I’m torn between trying to make something of it or to leave entirely.”

  • Lt Luke Wyatt

Zef was sure there was more going on than Wyatt was admitting to. He and Faye had been seeing each other, hadn’t they? Isn’t that what Faye told her? She took a drink from the cup on the table near her and settle back into the chair. “I think there are more to these feelings for Lt Calloway than you’re admitting to. Remember, I’m the counselor for the entire ship. That means I receive information from other sources. Is there more you’d like to tell me?”

—Rollo, CNS

Luke wondered what she meant then realised, ‘ of course she’s been speaking to Faye aswell, dummy’ “Oh well, what do you want me to say that I like Faye more than I should but everyone is telling me that its a terrible idea, even Faye herself what’s the point in trying. I tried being a friend but it just got complicated… In a good way but then it just went all wrong and I’m not sure what to do anymore.”
