Dr. Romero allowed the young woman to get settled before she seated herself. She was bundled in a warm sweater and draped a heavy blanket over her knees in order to make herself comfortable for the hour or so that the session was scheduled to last. It wasn't below freezing or anything, but it was well below room temperature and sitting still would only make it seem colder.
"Before we get started," Isi smiled at the young woman across from her and tried to look as soft and motherly as possible, "I just want to say that being here isn't a punishment, Syreni. You're here because Mr. Kingfisher thinks that talking to me will help you learn better ways to handle your emotions. I'm here to help you, okay?" Dr. Romero was a neutral party in all things going on around the facility. She was a sounding board for the agents and helped lead them into a better direction.
"Now," she clasped her hands together in front of her as she settled back into the chair to really get comfortable. "Do you have any questions about what you're doing here? Or requests to make your time in here more comfortable?"
