[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.]

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.

[Action]

[toujoursfluer]

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?

Re: [Action]

[spohkh]

[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.]

[Action]

[toujoursfluer]

Am I wrong?

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

Re: [Action]

[spohkh]

I would never call myself 'sassy'.

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

[Action]

[toujoursfluer]

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?

Re: [Action]

[spohkh]

Negative. However, I have heard rumours.

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

[Action]

[toujoursfluer]

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]

Re: [Action]

[spohkh]

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

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

[Action]

[toujoursfluer]

You've been speaking to Marco.

[there is no question to that fact]

Re: [Action]

[spohkh]

Indeed. Does this news trouble you?

[Action]

[toujoursfluer]

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

Trouble me how?

Re: [Action]

[spohkh]

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.]

[Action]

[toujoursfluer]

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?

Re: [Action]

[spohkh]

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.]

[toujoursfluer]

And what have you been occupied with?

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

[spohkh]

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.]

[toujoursfluer]

I see.

[so something is up]

Tell me about your captain. [so that she may find him and stalk him]

[spohkh]

You wish to know about about Captain Kirk? Very well...

He has been a Captain for approximately two years, having gained his status through extreme circumstances. He graduated with honours at the Academy, specializing in tactical and command. Though questionable, his methods gain favourable results.

[Spock blinks at Robin... That's what you wanted to know right?]

[toujoursfluer]

Do you honestly believe that's what I meant or are you trying to dodge the question in hopes you don't have to reveal a quite obvious sentiment?

[spohkh]

Obvious?

[Spock's mouth twitches into a small smirk.]

I had believed I was being subtle.
What exactly do you wish to know Miss Robin?

[toujoursfluer]

Were you?

[a slight jab. To be honest, she had been guessing. An educated guess, but a guess regardless]

What does he mean to you?

[spohkh]

[Spock has the decency to blush a light shade of green.]

That would require explaining a Vulcan concept...

[Hesitancy? Perhaps. But it was also a question. Was she sure that she wanted to get into this?]

[toujoursfluer]

[is her expectant silence answer enough? Besides which his blush is positively entrancing]
