I'm not surprised that Beth looks for "refuge" in a calm, composed Vulcan presence and mind. It's good there's someone aboard to whom she can turn to and that he understands her needs.

Author's Response: Beth is merely being the person she was raised to be. I used a lot of the same "tone" that the authorized authors use when they write Riker and Troi in the Titan books. Because I like that so much and figured that Beth was raised with just that sort of thing (as well as the fact that she can secretly read her father's mind) she wouldn't be able to help herself from being so very much like her parents. Elieth does indeed get a certain satisfaction from "playing" the Vulcan he is and Beth really does love Vulcans. You'll see him again in another scene from his perspective deeper into the book. As far as Beth and her "problem"?...You're right on the nose. Her extreme self-confidence and her inability to quite control her empathic abilities do indeed collide at key moment in the tale. I appreciate you keeping with it MF - admittedly it's a long book - but I wanted to take my time in building this new universe - one that will be the setting for three more books. :) Also - thank you so very much for commenting!! It means the world to me!

I've got to hand it to Beth. She sure does know how to win the hearts of her crew - including Vulcans. And that is an interesting facet to Vulcans for Beth for us tot learn. Mind you Elieth strikes me as particularly playful as a Vulcan in his use of deft humour. I guess plenty of experience dealing with emotional beings like humans and Betazoids. the mystery keeps racking up here. Liking it. Though I do think Beth's empathic abilities are likely to cause significant problems before this is all over.
