Riaan was on the grave yard shift and was enjoying what time she had before reporting to duty. She hadn’t seen the counselor and decided it was time to have a short chat with her and get some things off her chest, especially with the events not long ago.

As she entered sickbay she proceeded over to the office of Lt. JG Zoei. She made sure her uniform was straight before pressing the chime to her office.

"Enter," Patia stood up from where she has just straightened the cushions on one of the sofas.

Riaan entered Patia’s office trying to play it calm, cool and collective and was hoping that she could control her anger better then prior besides she wanted to apologize for her behavior on her last visit here.

"Hello Patia I just wanted to drop by and to apologize for my out burst and the damage I had caused with my last visit here," as Riaan responded in a more positive tone.

"Hello, Lieutenant. Come in and have a seat. I appreciate your apology." Patia crossed to the replicator. "Did you want anything?"

“Mocha would be nice thank you? So how are you doing Patia," as Riaan tried to be polite.

"One Mocha, and Raspberry Iced Tea," Patia stated to the replicator. She picked up both mugs. As she crossed to her chair, she handed the mug of Mocha to Riaan. Slowly, she settled herself into her seat and tucked her feet up below her. "I am doing well. How have you been?"

“I have been doing pretty good, I am just glad we have the prisoners back in the brig where they belong,� responded Riaan. Things were chaotic yet I loved the thrill of the hunt which may sound odd to you,� looking at Patia trying to get some sort of read from her.

"No it’s not odd at all. I imagine your area has been very busy with repairs and getting everything back to normal." Patia raised an eyebrow as she reached for her glass.

“Extremely busy but most of the repairs are done. Everyone seems to have pulled together as a team in such a crisis’s we are extremely lucky the causalities weren’t any higher then they were. I am assuming you have had your hands full dealing with some of the crew that aren’t used to what occurred with the prisoners over taking the Zion, the violence, the blood, and the loss of certain crewmembers that they have come accustomed to working with or started to build a friendship with,� as Riaan responded in a soft mellow tone as took a sip of mocha.

"Counseling is always busy, but I have seen a wider variety of people in the past month than I had seen in my entire time here before that. Did you have anything else on your mind when you decided to stop by?" Patia picked up a large, purple pillow. The material was rich brocade and the edges were a silky satin. She ran her fingers along the smooth edges of the material.

Riaan contemplated for a few minutes not sure what to say as she looked at Patia. She noticed that Patia seemed nervous or something and wondered if it had to do with her last visit due to her outburst of anger or something. She watched Patia quietly not saying a word. After a few seconds Riaan replied, “no there is nothing more,� as she placed her mug on Patia’s desk and got up and left and proceeded on with her day before her shift was to start.
