<span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'">... or they would have begun working on his hair but Davey asked for a fifteen minute break.  He was having a bit of a panic attack, in spite of the psychologist's reassurances, maybe it was that the idea he'd be pretending to be a girl in public almost twenty-four hours a day or maybe that it was just so strange that people were paying so much attention in trying to beautify him, he almost felt as if he were drowning.<br/>
<br/>
Dr. Tiresias thought for a moment, considering what little she knew of Davey, and asked if having one of his pokémon nearby to keep him company could help settle him down.  Davey's courage rallied at the suggestion, so Helen had one of the house staff bring Davey his three occupied pokéballs.  While they waited, Helen held the smaller man in her arms, in a motherly fashion, and rubbed his back.  She told him that he was being very brave in facing this new challenge that small-minded people wouldn't understand.  There wasn't anything wrong with being an actor whose role was to look and act like a beautiful woman.<br/>
<br/>
To Davey, the older woman's comforting reminded him of how his mother used to comfort him..., before the time came when his father expected him to 'toughen up and be a man'.  He hadn't realized how much he'd missed his mother's longer embraces because he'd been re-trained to be more independent from her.  Now, not with forceful strength but with a gentle need, Davey clung to Dr. Tiresias in the way that he used to cling to his mother.<br/>
<br/>
This was not lost on Helen Tiresias and with the best interest of her new patient in mind, she asked Davey if maybe this job might be a little too much for him.  "...  Davey, are you certain that you want this job?" she asked and then said, "Your Aunt Gabrielle is asking a lot from you and there's no shame in changing your mind."<br/>
<br/>
Davey took a minute of self-reflection.  He then smiled and nodding his head in the affirmative, saying, "I can do this.  It's just that I'm not used to having so many people doing things to me, trying to make me look different."<br/>
<br/>
"It's perfectly natural for an ordinary, or even an extraordinary, person to sometimes feel like a situation is over their heads", said Helen.  "But you've rallied with a determination to move forward and accept the challenges, so I believe in you, Davey."<br/>
<br/>
Aunt Gabrielle's servant returned and Davey chose Xena to watch him as he underwent the transformation of his appearance into that of a pretty woman.  "I hope that you won't find it too boring," Davey told his Beedrill, "but I'd like to have you nearby while I'm being changed."<br/>
<br/>
"Beedrill," said Xena.  She did not have the human words to answer her trainer, but she would stay near.  She was also more than a little curious on how humans evolved and why it took so many of them to assist in an evolution.<br/>
<br/>
They returned to the room that had been refurbished as a beauty salon for one.  Even though he was an adult, Davey suppressed his fears of being vulnerable while other adults who were bigger than he was fussing over him and relaxed.<br/>
<br/>
Dr. Tiresia's reached into her purse and produced an MP3 player and a pair wireless earbuds.  Handing them to Davey, she explained, "This is a basic relaxation program that I've made for men that want to act like women.  There are a number of different, some more advanced, programs on the player.  I'll give you a little booklet about it later."  She handed Davey the earbuds.<br/>
<br/>
"Thank you," he said with a grateful smile.  Then he put the earbuds into his ears.<br/>
<br/>
Hearing Davey's response, Helen smiled.  Then she said in her soft feminine yet husky voice, "By the way, Davey, your aunt and I discussed the name for your new role.  It's a bit different from your name, but it starts with the letter 'd' and has the letter 'v' in it.  What do you think of the name, 'Divina'?"<br/>
<br/>
Feeling full of re-found courage and resolve, Davey considered the new name.  With a somewhat embarrassed smile, he admitted, "I like it.  It's a pretty name."  He sat in the reclining spa chair while people waited to 'work on him'.<br/>
<br/>
"I'm glad that you like it," the psychologist said.  "Now, 'Divina'," she said as naturally as when she called him 'Davey', "just lay back in that chair and relax.  All of these people are professionals and no one is going to hurt you.  While they do that, I'm going to play the introductory recording for you to listen to."<br/>
<br/>
Davey reclined in the chair and the recording began to play.  Helen's recorded voice was very soothing.  Her voice began to explain how "going into a trance is very natural and learning in a relaxed state helps a person improve their skills.  This recording is about relaxing and being comfortable while looking like a woman...."</span></span>
