<br/>Ari blushed a bit at Dok's touch.  She was nervous about the mission, but since he had touched her, she was even more nervous.  She had thought she could deal with copulation in a clinical way, but now she was not quite so sure.  One thing that encouraged her though was remembering seeing the kindness in Dok's eyes when he had removed his glasses.  Kindness and there was something more.  Something that had made her trust him immediately to believe that he would make sure she wouldn't feel foolish or stupid. Something that she in her gut knew that with him, her first sexual experience would be not only good, but comfortable.  Thinking more about it, she just knew she could ask him any question, and he would answer simply and honestly.<br/><br/>Ari practised controlled breathing for a few moments to bring her stress level down, and feeling more herself, waited with the others for the Captain to begin their briefing.
