Posted by Lieutenant Symar (Chief Medical Officer) in Mutual Feelings (Tag XO)
It had been about a week since Symar and T’Aria had first found the trust in each other to share a Mind Meld. Since joining the Chernov and revealing his true identity to the XO and his junior officer, Ensign Kastarak, for the first time Symar felt like he had a true connection with people on board a Starship. Over the last week, Symar and T’Aria had been spending a couple of evenings together, brought on by the bond they formed during the meld. Having the ability to express emotions as a Vulcan-Romulan hybrid certainly had its advantages in situations like this, but it definitely didn’t stop the nerves/

Symar stood in front of the door to the XO’s quarters for a few seconds before clicking the time and bouncing on the balls of his feet.

-Lieutenant Symar: Chief Medical Officer-

T’Aria sat curled up on her couch, invested in the off-white pages of her dimly lit PaDD. Her stylus traced the lines of pre-Time of Awakening myths and glazed over the rigid, logic-bound annotations provided by ancient Vulcan archaeologists. Their words carried undisputable weight, but the constraints of their thinking deprived them of the nuance in each tale. To researchers, the stories were monochromatic and described the ancient way of life. These stories, to the Ancients, answered timeless questions and existed in shades of grey. T’Aria intended to understand both perspectives and chose to read each tale three times. Once to appreciate, once to decipher, and once to compare. She was mid-way through her second read of a creation myth when the chime alerted her to a visitor. Was she expecting somone?

Setting the PaDD aside, T’Aria rose and approached the door with an unhurried ‘come in!’

“Doctor Symar,” she greeted when the doors peeled open to reveal a familiar and ever-welcome face. Unsure of the nature of his visit, however, she kept her words neutral and concise. “To what do I owe the pleasuree?”

— T’Aria
