It took time, but Ari could not avoid doing a check to the counselor. He wanted to be perfect, while working and be lucid. Lastly, the death of his parents lead him to have serious problems and time to time felt depressed. Not even Luna could make him happy…
But going straightforward directly on the Counselor’s office door, Ari felt almost at ease and not intimidated by the counselor figure. Usually he would have probably hesitated, but not this time, first for his determination. Second because now he had a role that he could not ignore.

“Well. Time to time is good to talk to someone without fears.” Commented.
With a gentle press he touched what was the bell and a silent moment passed. He prepared himself checking his uniform, his pips, his shoes. Then again checked the same clothes, and then again and again. Yeah, he thought, now I’m nervous. And to be honest he was super nervous, trembling like a crispy leaf moved by the calm wind of a spring night.

Morganna was sitting in one of the chairs with her feet up on a small stool, a cup of tea next to her and a pillow behind her back. She carefully stood up, allowing herself to acclimate to the change of position “Enter.” She said as she tugged the uniform jacket over her well rounded abdomen. She stepped around to the front of her desk to greet the visitor.

Ari entered in the room, cozy and comfortable as always. And looking around he greeted the Lady with brief hand shake.
“I’m Lieutenant Salemberger, here for the check-in.” Mourned with a rough voice, which he later cleared out.

“Lt. Salemberger, I’m Lt Cmdr Morganna Salazar, please have a seat. Would you care for some refreshments while we chat?” Morganna asked walking over to the replicator to order whatever the Science Officer wanted.

Ari took all the time to seat properly and for brief moments he doubted if he wanted or not some water “If I could have some water, ma’am? Today I ran through the whole ship.” He said smiling.
In his own, he was still so nervous that Miss Morganna could probably notice it. His leg kept tapping the floor and a regular rhythm could be heard; his head, instead, was looking straight on the floor. “Why it always happens?” Asked to his ego in his mind “it is just a counselor check? What is wrong with you?!”

Morganna brought over the glass of water to Ari, she had picked up on his nervousness “I promise I don’t bite.” She said sitting back down in her chair “Where are you from originally?” Morganna asked picking up the cup that held her tea.

Ari took willingly the glass of water, but this last was all trembling with Ari’s arms and almost dripped off the glassy container.
“A-aight. Ehrm…” it took time to remember where the heck he was from. I mean, he knew, but the stress he was living in that moment made him pretty much a new person “I was born on Unity the moon Colony. My father was a human while my mother was a Trill. I don’t have a lot of memories of my hometown as we moved afterwards to the capital of my mother’s planet. And to be honest,” he giggled “I still struggle to say whether I’m Trill or Human first. But as you can see I have Trill and Human traits, like these body stains.”
Finally, after the chat had started, Ari was able to calm down and sip a bit of the water he requested before.

Morganna smiled “I understand that feeling.” She said “I’m half Betazoid and Half Human.” She said “Some days I wonder about whether I am one or the other. What about the body stains? Do they bother you?” Morganna asked.

CNS

“Why should they?” He asked gently “To be honest… seems that people likes them and I like them too. It is part of me and they are pretty.” He said “But sometimes, Betazoids recognizes me as theirs same species and, there’s nothing wrong. Just it makes fade away that humanity I have in me.”
Ari reflected and in that moment he felt like a pain in the chest. Remembering his origins confused him and was pretty much what remained of his parents. Sipping again a bit of water he took a deep breath and continued “Didn’t knew you were half human and half betazoid too. Sometimes is hard to tell.” He smiled

“It can be hard to tell.” Morganna agreed “I have spent many years training myself to control my abilities.” She said “I have the ability to read emotions and I rely on my instincts and ability to read body language.” She said “How do you reenergize your humanity?” She asked.

CNS

“How do I?” Asked quietly thinking at the same time what to reply “I usually… Visit Earth, precisely my parents city, San Francisco and when I can, play some golf. It was my father’s favorite sport.” Ari said, playing with his numbs and looking straight down his hands “perhaps, I feel so humane and at ease, when I see earthlings. Do you feel the same when you visit Earth?”

Morganna nodded “I do feel more human when I spend some time on Earth. I enjoy going home and seeing my family in El Paso.” She said “The arid climit is comforting to me.” She said “I enjoy going hiking in the areas surrounding my family home.” She said “Although, I feel better anytime I am on Earth anywhere. I often use the holodeck to help reconnect with humanity.” She said “What do you think will be your biggest challenge being aboard the Odin?” Morganna asked.
