Apprehensive was a good way to describe Samus today. She'd been through this in her home Galaxy with Federation psychiatrists, and wasn't happy at the thought of having to revisit the conversation. Likely she didn't help her case by occasionally muttering 'I'm not crazy' while on the way to the...Asylum. Great ( ... )

The tall doctor was slightly younger than the average psychiatrist, but he was no less knowledgable of his profession. He considered himself to be schooled in psychological therapeutics that would place the patient at ease, as well as foster a relationship of trust between them. It was not Seward's job to judge whether or not her actions warranted a call for madness,but was designed merely to help her to be well again ( ... )

Preceding him into the room as bidden, Samus swept the office with a practiced gaze, habit driving her to pick out the likely spots for both defense and a quick escape if necessary. The Varia Suit made leaving the Paralyer in a front room locker more of an annoyance than a threat, but she couldn't rely too heavily on it. It hadn't saved her from cultists after all.

Turning on her heel she regarded the young doctor coolly from behind blonde bangs. She didn't know this guy from Adam, and being a psychiatrist but him on the wrong side of her opinions...but she was here to -try-, so there was no need to be rude.

"So...what happens now?"

Blunt yes, rude no.

"Please. Sit, if you would."

He'd pulled up a chair especially for her, as the couch didn't seem necessary yet.

The room itself was not meant for enclosure, given it was just his office. If she tried to turn tail and run he wasn't about to corner her. It was somewhat spacious, at least, with a window overlooking the courtyard where the grounds were green and neatly trimmed. All in all it was a somewhat calming atmosphere, as Seward knew the effects a tidy, as well as serene background could do for the mind.

"Now, Miss Aran, I am going to ask you a few questions regarding your history to gain insight into your condition if you don't mind. I think we'll start with the basics and go from there."

He leaned back into his chair and crossed one leg over the other, smiling reassuringly.

"How long have you been in Siren's Port?"

It could be relevant to the issue at hand, given her history.
