Un'lar Adaal<br/><strong>NSFW Warning:</strong><br/><br/>Kavash chuckled at the question regarding Trill sexuality.  He knew it wasn't exactly how he'd suggested it might be and realized that he might have sent Tibbet's down a rabbit hole.  "No, no, sorry.  Essentially the symbiont is genderless, but Teel, like a lot of other Trill symbiont's tend to assume the personality of their first host as the pattern for their perception on life."  Kavash tried his best to explain it, realizing he was talking to a science officer who might have a better understanding of how brain physiology worked.  "The personality of the first host is imprinted on the new young symbiont, just as the symbiont's personality is imprinted and combined with their hosts over the years."<br/><br/>Kavash smiled at the curiosity of Tibbet's questions once he realized that he'd been referring to Teel in the sense of being her own personality.  "From the moment of joining we become one personality with a combined set of memories, emotions, experiences.  There are times when I may refer to Teel as an individual simply because I am able to distinguish the symbiont memories and experiences from my own.  This is why when we are joined Trill take on the symbiont name as their surname to show that the two are now one."<br/><br/>Before Kavash could mention anything about touring the ship, the turbo lift opened revealing the Cardassian Doctor and the Orion Counselor.  Kavash immediately felt hair on the back of his neck rise at the site, the memories of the death of Ras still very fresh in his mind.  When the Cardassian approached introducing himself and the counselor Kavash could only nod respectfully as both of them did outrank him.  While the doctor set him on edge, the Orion counselor seemed to elicit a different response as he could almost feel Teel in a sense "rolling his eyes".  Six lifetimes of experiences and Teel had see her share of Orion's.  She would get a chance like everyone else, but Teel apparently had other notions about an Orion counselor on board.  He let a wry grin curl his lips as the thoughts ran through his mind.<br/><br/>When Veyea excused herself, Kavash nodded watching her walk to the Operations console.  Being that it was directly near the tactical console, Kavash took her departure to excuse himself too.  "Please excuse me.  I have to make sure the tactical systems are visually verified before we depart."  Kavash said, holding his grin on his face as he stepped around the group that had gathered near him, moving to the turbo lift.
