Nyota Uhura

[perform_admirably]

Nyota, I ... hello.

[enterpriser]

Not very much like you to be so tongue-tied over a greeting.

Hello, Spock.

[perform_admirably]

It's ... interesting to know that you may have arrived. I am tentatively relieved and cautiously optimistic.

From my perspective, we have not seen one another in a year and nine months.

[enterpriser]

So what's happened in the year and nine months to change your reaction of me to tentatively relieved and cautiously optimistic?

And do we have any idea what created the split in realities?

[perform_admirably]

We have some idea. Where some equates to next to none, at any rate. So I suppose that, realistically, we have no idea.

I'm not certain this is the appropriate time to broach certain topics which may be of an emotional nature.

[to_boldly]

He's right. There should be alcohol.

So much alcohol.

[perform_admirably]

Alcohol is not a necessity. Privacy is.

[to_boldly]

Trust me, Spock. Privacy and alcohol.

Maybe some protective crotch wear.

[perform_admirably]

[ this earns Jim a pair of concerned eyebrows. ]

[enterpriser]

You going to tell the story to me in clearer terms, Captain?

[to_boldly]

I will certainly endeavor to try. Whereabouts did Spock leave off?

[enterpriser]

'Leave off' suggests that he started in the first place.

[to_boldly]

He's talking in circles. It's a defense mechanism, but I know you know that.

He's afraid to tell you we got married, Nyota. A few months back.

[enterpriser]

If you're making some allusion to the fact that I'm a human and therefore too delicate or volatile to receive news at this time, so help me, Spock.

Anyway. This place sounds like quite the challenge to me. When exactly did you leave our reality, and can we at least determine that it was at some point the same for the both of us?

[perform_admirably]

You mistake me, Nyota.

I am the one uncomfortable discussing the concerns at hand immediately. However, I recognize that they are concerns which do need to be discussed immediately, so as you are not marginalized, or 'led on.'

[enterpriser]

I'll let you know when I feel marginalized, Spock, although I'll have you know that the way you greeted me seemed to speak volumes.

[perform_admirably]

'Volumes' is unspecific.

[enterpriser]

So are 'topics of an emotional nature.'

Answer the other question, Spock. What's the last you remember of home?

[to_boldly]

Yeah, you know what? I'll let you have both pieces of protective crotch wear. You're gonna need them.

[dammitman]

Oh good, you're here too.

[enterpriser]

Doctor.

You. Me. Drinks. You in?

[dammitman]

Depends how much of a war zone I'm stepping into if I say yes.

[enterpriser]

What war zone? I've already waved the white flag, what else are they going to do to me?

Let me ask you, Doctor. Do I come across as overly demanding?

[dammitman]

[ Trying to think of the most diplomatic way to tread about the whole thing. Not that diplomacy is his strong point. ]

...you come across as goal oriented.

Hell, let's get those drinks.
