Hear me out - an Aev'ik who's been shmoozing on Terminus for years, and has a wealthy tech-based family with connections... Would his parents consider sending him her way for lessons on how to make nice with others? I suppose for either career path! She's an empath by nature, and the fun of an emotive, ostentatious alien being the diplomacy coach for a library-haunting prince who represses the feels - imagine!
