− | + | After Garam’s death, Verdan’s introversion turned to complete isolation. On earth he was able to avoid everyone who knew him before, whether family, coworkers, or his few close friends, and he actively froze out any fellow cadets who tried to get to know him. Fortunately for him, his first year lab partner, a Bolian woman named Elaza Xoff (NPC), intervened. Elaza, as is typical for Bolians, is meticulous, driven, and dedicated to seeking knowledge. With her cultural “workaholic” trends and Verdan’s competitive perfectionism, it is unsurprising that the two of them spent many late nights together working obsessively on homework, projects, and independent research, long after the rest of their classmates had headed off for a chance to relax. In addition, while Elaza somewhat less boisterous and talkative than many Bolians – a fact that actually made bonding with Verdan much easier – she is typical of her species in her incredible ability to form positive relationships with even the most difficult people. Warm, caring, friendly, and possessing and almost supernatural ability to get people to let down their guards and form connections of all kinds, Elaza became a friend to Verdan at a time when he had convinced himself that he didn’t want to form any relationships of any kind. The friendship was profoundly important for her as well, as her Bolian need to serve the group led to too many classmates never noticing that she would exhaust herself trying to help everyone around her and coaxing the many stressed out cadets to keep in good temper and get along without fighting. Verdan, on the other hand, was always ready to let her talk about her feelings to help support her when she needed it. As a result Elaza could spend time with the rest of their cohort without feeling anxious and burned out, and in turn she would pull Verdan out of his shell and push him to form bonds with their classmates. By the end of first year they were close confidants, and by the end of second they were best friends. Third and fourth year they opted to be roommates, which allowed them to still spend significant time together once their differing specialties – Verdan in xeno-ethnology and xeno-biology, Elaza in astrophysics – meant they no longer had classes together. As the end of their time at Starfleet approaches, both Verdan and Elaza are worrying about receiving different assignments and having to adjust to no longer having each-others’ support to help ease the stress of the work, of getting to know new people, and the undermining effects of their own perfectionist tendencies. | |
