[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.]

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]

[spohkh]

Vulcans are touch telepaths, I believe you are aware of this. When we are young, we are paired, through a mental bond, with another who has a similar mental resonance in a way that very much resembles an arranged marriage.
This... arrangement ensures that when a certain amount of growth takes place, the bondmate serves as a...stability. [No way is he explaining Pon Farr to Robin.]

Rarely do to beings meet who share such a mental affinity, that one mental touch can bind them together. This phenomenon is known as T'hy'la... the one person in the entire universe who was meant to be with you. I believe a similar concept exists in the term 'soulmate'.

[Spock shifts uncomfortably...] While T'hy'la are drawn together naturally, that doesn't mean that both parties are necessarily comfortable with one another. Such is the case between the Captain and I.

[toujoursfluer]

[that is...far more information that she expected and far more intimate as well. Interesting this concept. She's not entirely sure she believes in soul mates...and to only one person seems--limited at best.]

I'd like to meet this captain of yours. [she smiles at him teasingly]

And make sure he's treating you right.

[spohkh]

[Spock goes silent... and just blinks at Robin for a moment.]

I beg your pardon?

[toujoursfluer]

Shouldn't friends look out for one another?

[spohkh]

[Spock regarded Robin bemusedly.]

Of course, but only if you allow me the same courtesy.
