[Ens. Eshryv Th'oshaaran - Front Ear - Blue Beta]The Andorian watched in slight fascination and confusion as the Sivaoan's ears flicked through a variety of positions. Many of them were quite similar, and conveyed drastically different meanings. Eshryv only hoped there wouldn't be a time when he would need to determine the nature of a situation solely based on his roommate's ears. Though knowing the way his life had been going lately... He wouldn't be surprised if that ended up happening. "People actually successfully read all that?" he asked curiously before taking a few more bites of his meal.

[ Left Ear - Blue Beta] ' Oh, yes!' Left Ear said. ' And more - smells, exact wording. My people have near perfect eidetic memories unless the information has to be represented visually, like charts and graphs.' Her fur rippled in a shrug. ' It's an oddity.
'It's strange to me to have to learn almost everything from reading. All of our knowledge and history is passed down orally.' This tended to shock people, along with their nomadic, low-tech lifestyles, that Sivaoans were out amongst the stars when their society looked like it was pre-warp. Tag Syl O'Connell

[Ens. Eshryv Th'oshaaran - Front Ear - Blue Beta]Eshryv nodded thoughtfully, finishing his meal and sliding the plate to the side for the server to retrieve. Picking up his glass of ale, he took another sip and leaned back comfortably in his seat. "I suppose the information we pick up with our antennae would be similar to what you pick up from scent." Each person and place felt a unique way... Eshryv wasn't sure how else to explain it. That, along with the subtle changes of vibrations in the air, made it almost impossible to catch an Andorian unaware.

[ Left Ear - Blue Beta] ' Oh, that's interesting, Left Ear said enthusiastically. She was excited that they'd found an equivalent in their senses. Leaning forward a little, Left Ear said conspiratorially, ' Do you ever wonder how Humans get by with such limited senses?' Her tail coiled in amusement, the comment meant only as teasing.

[Ens. Eshryv Th'oshaaran - Front Ear - Blue Beta]When his roommate mentioned Humans' limited senses, Eshryv couldn't help but release an uncharacteristic laugh. "That's probably why their interactions are littered with miscommunications." It was something he had noticed, both in his time at the Academy and on Front Ear. Humans were constantly misinterpreting each other. He didn't envy them one bit. [Short time after 'Return To Serenity'] Eshryv stood in the transporter room, going over the stack of supply crates one more time, comparing the contents with the inventory list on the PADD in his hand. His partner for the day should be arriving shortly. Delivering supplies to the Kerelia colony and taking stock of anything else they might need down there was a simple enough assignment, but he couldn't help but hope whomever else was assigned to join him wouldn't be completely incompetent.

[ Left Ear - Transporter Room] Left Ear would have much preferred to remain curled up in her bed than do pretty much anything else right now, but life did not shut down even when one was floundering at the bottom of a pit of horror and self-loathing. The cadet's ears, tail and whiskers drooped and her fur, though pristine, was disheveled. She pulled up short when she entered the transporter room and saw her roommate standing there with the pile of supplies they were taking down to the colony on Kerelia. The Sivaoan should have realised Eshryv was there before she'd reached the door, but she hadn't bothered to utilise her senses to their usual extent, or at least she hadn't paid attention to it. As with nearly everything else, she just didn't care. ' Eshryv,' she said by way of simple greeting, all she could manage. It was far from her usual exuberance. Left Ear had been vaguely aware of her roommate around their quarters over the last few days, but didn't think she'd actually spoken to him since returning from Serenity. Tag Syl O'Connell

[Ens. Eshryv Th'oshaaran - Front Ear - Transporter Room]Feeling the unique presence of his roommate enter the transporter room, his posture relaxed ever so slightly. At least he was paired with someone he not only got along with, but knew to be competent in their field. Hearing the dullness in her usually excited voice, however, caused him to turn and look at her. His brow flickered in slight concern at her unusually disheveled appearance. Though she hadn't come out of her room while he was home for some time, Eshryv had assumed it was due to being busy with her studies. Now he wondered if he had been wrong for not checking on her. At least she had reported for duty, and standing in the middle of the transporter room was hardly the time or place to enquire as to the differences he was seeing. "Everything looks to be in order," he stated instead, his voice neutral with professionalism. With a nod to the transporter officer, he took his place on the pad beside the stack of crates of waited for Left Ear to join him.

[ Left Ear - Transporter Room --> LZ-2 Colony Infirmary] Left Ear blinked once and nodded at her roommate's brief summary of their readiness before silently joining him on the platform with the supplies. At least this job didn't require much in the way of higher-level thought - deliver supplies, count supplies. Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours, then Left Ear could go back to hiding. Except she recalled that she was supposed to meet with the counselor in the afternoon. The Sivaoan sighed as the transporter room disappeared in a swirl of light and they rematerialised on the surface of Kerelia. She took a deep breath of the fresh air, opening her mouth slightly to draw in every scent possible across her tongue. It was so much nicer than the filtered, recirculated air aboard the station, and Left Ear really wished she could live on the surface with the other Sivaoans instead. Unfortunately, even the sunshine and fresh air failed to pull the Sivaoan out of her funk and she said dully, ' Guess we have to move everything to the infirmary ourselves.' Tag Syl O'Connell

[Ens. Eshryv Th'oshaaran - Kerelia - Colony]After rematerializing on the planet, Eshryv took a moment to take in their surroundings. He pivoted slowly in a circle, antennae swiveling as well. There weren't many people about, but it was obviously a populated place. Hearing the Cadet's lament about moving the supplies themselves, he shrugged and began to activate the anti-grav lift the crates were stacked on. "They'd never make it easy for us," he replied simply. Once the lift was ready to move, he glanced around once more. "Now... Where's the infirmary?"

[ Left Ear - Colony - Kerelia] Left Ear's tail didn't even twitch at Eshryv's comment, but she pointed down one of the thoroughfares. ' That way,' was all she said, then proceeded down the road. She hesitated after a moment and turned back to her roommate. ' Do you want me to push it?' Left Ear asked, gesturing to the anti-grav. It had occurred to her that the grunt work should probably fall to her as the lower rank. Out of the corner of her eye, Left Ear caught sight of one of the Sivaoans who now lived in the colony and snapped her gaze forward so as not to catch their eye. It was SilverTail, the most perceptive of her people and the one she was closest to, but Left Ear had been avoiding him since returning from Serenity. Tag Syl O'Connell

[Ens. Eshryv Th'oshaaran - Kerelia - Colony]He nodded as she pointed the way, and started guiding the lift down the street. Her offer caught him by surprise, and he glanced at her with a curious expression. "No need," he replied simply. It certainly wasn't heavy, and being the medical expert of the two she would likely be doing more of the work once they reached their destination. He noticed the way she quickly looked away from the other Sivaoan, and his antennae twitched slightly as he tried to gauge the position of her ears. Perhaps it was the angle he was standing... But he really couldn't read much from them. "Not a friend?" Eshryv decided to ask rather than guess.

[ Left Ear - Colony - Kerelia] Left Ear's fur lifted across her shoulders in an approximation of a shrug. She'd made the offer; she wouldn't force the handle of the anti-grav out of Eshryv's hands. Oh, quickens' ass, he'd noticed.She sighed and said, ' No. I mean, yes, he's a friend, but I just...' Her voice trailed off. Left Ear didn't know if her roommate had any idea of what she'd gone through, and she certainly didn't want to explain it. Said friend had caught the scent of his young friend and headed their way, slowing as he got close enough to catch the deeper undertones that screamed 'LEAVE ME ALONE!' It was too late, though. He was close enough that it would be rude to suddenly turn away. ' Left Ear, it's good to see you,' SilverTail said warmly, belying the perpetually grumpy expression on his naked, wrinkled face. His green eyes shifted to the Andorian, and he dipped his head. ' Greetings, I am SilverTail to-Ennien.' Other than a brightly-colored fabric satchel slung over his shoulder, the Sivaoan's black and pink body was completely bare. Left Ear fidgeted nervously as the older Sivaoan introduced himself to her roommate. Tag Syl O'Connell

[Ens. Eshryv Th'oshaaran - Kerelia - Colony]His eyes narrowed slightly as the other Sivaoan approached them. If he could tell his roommate didn't want to talk to anyone, then surely the other of her kind could tell? The bald one introduced himself, and Eshryv stepped around from behind the stack of crates to reveal his uniform. Hopefully that would be enough to state they weren't there to socialize. "Ensign Th'oshaaran," he responded to the introduction curtly. "They're waiting for us in the infirmary." No time to chat. Important Starfleet business. And the Andorian really didn't care if he came across as rude.

[Colony - Kerelia] SilverTail blinked once at the Andorian's short tone. He wasn't very familiar with Andorians, but this one seemed to want him to go away as much as Left Ear appeared to. ' Ensign,' the Sivaoan acknowledged. ' I won't keep you, then. Just wanted to say hello.' His bare tail snaked briefly around Left Ear's waist and gave a squeeze. ' Come visit us soon,' he said kindly, releasing her and walking away. Left Ear wouldn't meet his eyes but nodded once in acknowledgement before continuing down the road. She didn't speak again as she led the way to the infirmary. Tag Syl O'Connell

[Ens. Eshryv Th'oshaaran - Kerelia - Colony]Eshryv was accustomed to offending people, as he was certain every Andorian in Starfleet was. So he didn't think twice about continuing down the path as soon as the bald Sivaoan stepped away from them. He did, however, wait until they were out of earshot - he hoped - before he spoke to his roommate quietly. "Was that alright?" Normally he wouldn't care about that either, but as the Cadet seemed to already be tense around her own people, he certainly didn't want to make matters worse for her.
