Log 17 [video]

[Robin looks quite serene today, though those who have known her will notice a certain glint in her eye that spells trouble. It is high time she gets one certain thing straight in her life]

Hello, Luceti, and new feathers. Welcome to our little town where you will both make wonderful friendships and suffer traumatically for making them. However, that's life, ne? It will all work out in the end. [after we break them in half like twigs]

Speaking of trauma, however, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to kidnap a certain longnosed sniper, who is fond of elaborate stories but not so much of mushrooms. I was thinking a baited trap of some sort and briefly considered an arrow to the knee but that may be going a bit far. I do want to keep him around, after all.

[in other words, Usopp... 1, 2... Robin's coming for you. There is nowhere to run.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I do.

I will be there momentarily.
[With a final nod, the Vulcan cuts the communication and heads out the door. He doesn't want to think too much about this, but he can't help it. The only comfort he has right now is that he has already spoken to Marco about this... and thankfully there doesn't seem to be any hard feelings there.

But... Robin is a different issue entirely. She was there.
Spock knocks.]

[she steels herself for that sound, and even when it happens she can't relax. Still she blossoms a hand from the wall to open the door. She's sitting in the living room on a chair, a drink set up for him on the coffee table firmly toward the couch to put some distance between him. It's one he likes, she remembers that much and almost resents the memory. For herself she sips black coffee and regards him with raised eyebrows]

Glad you could make it. Come in.

[Spock nods, and takes his seat.... ]

Thank you.

Robin... I am sorry.

[May as well go right for the jugular.]

Really, Spock-chan, if you're going to start apologizing for Malnosso puppetry we'll be here all day. [she sips her coffee and swallows]

Unless of course you were cheating on me but then I would have to kill you.

[though it's a joke-- to lighten the mood]

[His eyes widen slightly, and he answers without thinking.]

I would not.

[Oh... right... joke. But he still wouldn't have...]

Malnosso interference or not, this cannot be ignored. I wish for you to tell me what it is I must do to make this better.
[Because this whole thing? Spock doesn't understand it. He was in love with Robin, had a family with her... and he enjoyed it. He felt fulfilled in protecting his family. And now it was gone.
He didn't feel any romantic inclinations towards Robin... but he enjoyed belonging... almost to a point of being covetous.]

Make it better?

[she tilts her head. It's difficult to understand what he's thinking. At one time she thought she knew--but who can say if she was right? She remembers her time with him, certainly. And feeling a certain way and while affection lingers...in reality there is too much to keep her from ever stepping over that breach. Marco being the chiefest reason.]

What do you mean?

I believe most humans feel a lingering awkwardness during such events? If you wish for me to keep my distance then I will.

[Yup, the Vulcan is trying too hard.]

However, I believe Marco laughed at me when I suggested such a thing.

It is what it is. Awkwardness will be there if you avoid me for one day or a thousand, ne? And Luceti is too small to make it feasible.

[anyway, awkward though it may be, the only thing that would change that is closeness]

After all, who knows? You've been my child and you've been my husband. Perhaps tomorrow will bring something interesting.

[Spock regards her for a moment...]

You are a very gracious being Robin. I... consider you a close friend. It would be quite disagreeable to have lost that.

I couldn't do without you, Spock-chan. Though I don't think I'll kiss you again. [a hand grows from the couch to tweak his ear] After all, you're the only sassy gay friend I have, ne?

[Spock quirks an eyebrow... but he seems less solemn than before.]

There is no convincing you to use another name for me, is there.
[Not really a question.]

Am I wrong?

[she raises her eyebrows and gives him a completely innocent expression]

I would never call myself 'sassy'.

[Have a small hint of a smile in return.]

Witty, then.

[since it's the same thing, only with a connotation of a certain introspection and quick intelligence. And then...because there are a few other things on her mind]

Have you met any of the new feathers?

Negative. However, I have heard rumours.

[Sassy gay friend? Why bother having one if you can't gossip?]

Oh? Of what kind?

[rumors were always fascinating and told more of the state of mind of the people than any kind of official report]

That people from your universe are here. Is this true?

[Marco and Spock are worse than a pair of old ladies.]

You've been speaking to Marco.

[there is no question to that fact]

Indeed. Does this news trouble you?

[that Marco. Inward sigh. Though she raises her eyebrows at the question]

Trouble me how?

I am uncertain as to what qualifies as 'gossip' or simple conversation between friends. If this is information that you would have rather he not reveal to me, then I will cease all future conversation about you.

[There, logical.]

Marco knows what to reveal and what not to. [or he'd better]

But forgetting my nakama a moment, have you met many other new feathers?

Negative. If you asked my Captain, he would inform you that I have been 'hiding'.

I will have you know that I have not been hiding... merely occupied.
[Which, for a Vulcan was the same as hiding. There was no way that he was going to tell anyone that he was getting depressed. Nope. Not happening.]

And what have you been occupied with?

[she's more inclined to believe your captain, even though she doesn't know him.]

Perhaps it is a surprise.

[Hmm... Spock's losing his touch here.
Though he should introduce you two, he's certain you'd get along like a house on fire, literally.]
