The corners of Sair’s mouth tugged upwards just a hair. “Sometimes the thrill of the new is the thing that allows us to toss caution aside and leap where we might not normally. And wonderful things can happen from that, just as much as sometimes we can get deeply hurt,” she observed. “Do you feel though, despite how it ended, that you now have a clearer picture of what is important to you in a relationship and how you want to proceed with one in the future?”

Alex smiled and said “I have a clearer picture that my first instinct was correct: don’t get involved with someone stationed on the ship.” and he chuckled again. “And I know what I don’t want… thats for certain. So I suppose some new knowledge is a good thing.”

“Knowing what you don’t want is often as useful as knowing what you do,” Sair said, warmth infused in her bright voice. “So what do you intend to do with this newfound knowledge?” Whether there was anything to do or was necessary was beside the point. For the moment she was still gathering information and figuring out how Cochrane thought.

Alex thought for a moment and then said “Use it to make more informed decisions about my personal relationships going forward; and as a reminder to trust my gut instinct more. And finally… as a basis to looking for what I do want in someone, I think. I’m going to look at relationships like the ancient Terran artist Michelangelo did sculpting. See the formless marble, then try to remove what isn’t a sculpture. Allow the relationship to simply create itself. Hard, given my predilection for giving orders and expecting them to be followed.” and he laughed.

Sair chuckled. “Do you find it hard to take off the uniform and just be Alexander Cochrane?” she asked, phrasing it that way quite intentionally. Even if you had hobbies and things to do on downtime, you could still find that separation difficult, f it was even necessary. For some people it wasn’t.
