Sharah hurried down the stairs to the last room on the left. She had a larger PaDD somewhere in all those crates. What did she do with it? She was really going to need an actual computer console eventually. She opened ine crate and it was clothes, she opened another and it was pots and dirt and seed packets. Ah! That one. She opened it and dug through the books for the larger PaDD and then sat down crossed legged, middle of the bed, and messes around with it until she got it to make the secure connection and the propped it up against a couple of pillows.Fayth
A fee moments passed and then the nondescript face of Commander Korczak appeared. He smiled and said =/\= Hello, Sharah… how are you? =/\= and then his brow furrowed slightly. =/\= Are you busy? You dont seem to be in the same place you were when we talked previously. We can reschedule, if you need to. =/\=
Korczak, Counselor
=/\=Hello Janusz.=/\= The man didn’t miss a thing. She supposed that’s why she liked him as a counselor. She couldn’t hide things or beat about the bush. =/\= No, I’m not busy. This…” she looked around a bemused expression on her face. “This is my room. I’ve moved. Officially as of today.=/\=
Fayth
His brows rose slightly and he said =/\= Moved? Oh, do tell. Was this a planned transition, or more of a spur-of-the-moment decision? And there is nothing wrong with that if it was. Sometimes we need to shake things up a bit in order to begin the steps we need to take. =/\=
Korczak
His words made her bit her lip to stop from laughing. Yavia and Charles were experts
shakingbthings up. =/\=Well, it started off as sort of a spur of the moment long weekend and has turned into a permanent move.=/\= She had to think about how exactly it all happened. The sequence of events. =/\=I was avoiding going back to my quarters. I felt like I lost any progress I made during the day. It was…upsetting isn’t the right word. So I was out walking and I ran into Charles and Yavia. They insisted I eat with them. You told me to try and accept those connections with people even when I don’t want to. It all kind of happened from there.=/\=Fayth
Janusz’s head tilted to the side and a small smile played at the corner of his mouth. He wasn’t telepathic. Nor was he an empath. But what he could do better than almost anyone was read people. And the slight lilt in her voice at the names… the unconscious upward tugging at the corner of her lips as she spoke of the meeting… the slightly deeper inhale… and her posture, more upright and forward-facing… all showed as positive effect signs that she felt better. She may not have realized it herself, but he could see it.
=/\= I see… =/\= was all he said for a moment. =/\= Go on. Walk me through it. How a chance encounter led to a move. =/\=
Korczak, Counselor
Sharah paused. The finer points of that day in the park were dark, clouded over by the foggy memory of depression. Her gaze was off screen, recalling her memories as she talked. =/\= We were eating, talking…I’m not really sure why I started crying. It was embarrassingly blubbery and loud, and they just hugged me.” Sharah remembered Charles finding her under the trees and he’d kissed her cheek, but hadn’t said a word. She knew that sudden connection, hearing him in the music was part of it. She wasn’t hiding it, but it was special, private and she wanted to keep it that way. At least for now. “Charles suggested that the middle of the park wasn’t the best place and they took me…here.” She made a motion that incorporated the room and the house beyond. “They, well Yavia started it, had a rather serious talk with me, about staying with them until I felt better.” There was so much that had happened in a week.
“They took me back to my apartment and…well you’ve done well checks on people. That’s all they kept thinking, that it was like that. I didn’t recognize it in myself at the time.” She had when she’d gone back today and she was having a hard time with it. “They had me back a bag to take with me. I had a sketches all over the floor and I put some in the recycler.” Korczak was aware of this process, it was one she had used for a long time. “Charles…took them and accused me of hiding things. He was really upset…not at me but the situation.”
“I…It was really difficult to explain about the sketches and what they were and why I kept them secret and was getting rid of them.” She blew out a breath, that memory was hard and it still made her hurt, but whatever she was going to say next was noticeably better. “Charles told me we weren’t going to get rid of them like that. Then he took the papers and ripped them up into tiny pieces and dropped them into some plant pots I had, filled them soils and planted seeds in them. He said that way they helped better things grow. Then we left.=/\=

Korczak’s brows arched slightly in surprise. =/\= That is… well… that seems like that was an incredibly intuitive gesture on his part. Tell me how you felt about that. That using the negatives to grow the positive. And then go on… we’ll talk when you finish. =/\= and then a thought occurred to him. =/\= Charles… would that be a Major General Charles Tenkiller? =/\= he asked with a bit of a smile.
