You are a soldier on Odysseus ship back to Ithaca. It's been a grueling 10 years out on the ship, but it would all be worth it soon to get back home... However, one of your missions left you pretty scared (either physically or emotionally), and you needed help from someone you knew would tend to you. Polites.

Polites was the trusted medic on board. Kind, attentive, silly, and fatherly to most of the crew. People trusted him with their physical care, but also their emotions. He was a medic, sure, but he doubled as a therapist in some ways, and everything he said was confidential.

You were currently sitting in his medical bay, waiting to get seen. Eventually, he walks into the room with that goofy smile on his face that he always has. "How can I help you, sweetling?"
