[ Well evidently Jim was never the least bit bothered by the fact that she did try to choke him once. It was at least interesting to see that the Vulcan had some emotions in there, though he's yet to figure out if her constant aim is to repress them or control them. Something he's come to find interesting to explore the more he gets to know her.

The more they get to know each other, even. ]


Right, that's why I mentioned it. [ He chuckles, glancing at her. ] It was a... thing, like three centuries ago, I think. Just a way to try and diffuse awkward silences when you had to share the small space with complete strangers.

[ Pursing his lips, he shrugs. ] If you ask me, though, it probably made the silence even more awkward.

[ Luckily, and despite what might seem like to some people, Jim's never been one to shy away from more difficult endeavors. That she's not inclined to talk about her emotions and how she processes and handles them is no secret to Jim, but he figures with time and a lot patience he'll be able to get her to enlighten him, at least to some degree. ]

Right. Maybe it wouldn't make much of a difference to you, would it? [ He figures silence doesn't ever feel as awkward to Vulcans as it does to humans anyway. ] But humans don't really like feeling awkward. Or awkward silences. Sometimes they'll start stupid and pointless conversations just so they don't have to deal with that.

[ Case in point: Jim, right now. But the lift stops soon after, thankfully, and Jim steps outside with a quiet breath, starting the short walk down the corridor to the mess hall. ]

Come on, you're familiar enough with humans by now to know we can be illogical about a great number of things.

[ And feeling awkward in all kinds of situations and over various sorts of topics is just one of those things. Jim isn't often one to feel awkward about just anything, though, so he wouldn't call himself the prime example for how humans can be when it comes to that. ]

It's a manner of speech. There's no need to take everything a human says so literally, you know.

[ He stares a little flatly at her, eyebrow raising as the mess hall doors open and they step inside. ]

What are you having for breakfast?

[ Jim chuckles, grinning at her. ] Now, that's just plain rude. [ Evidently he doesn't mean it. ] I'd be offended if I didn't like being illogical.

[ He just happens to translate 'illogical' to 'unpredictable', which more often than not happens to be true. And far be the day when all of Jim's actions are predictable. He likes keeping things interesting, after all. ]

We don't forget. We just don't care. You're not going to accomplish anything by pointing out the lack of logic to some of our turns of phrase. The fact that you keep trying, if you ask me, is what's illogical. Illogical and the very definition of madness.

[ Now he's teasing her, instead. At her question, he shrugs, pursing his lips. ]

Smalltalk. Like asking about the weather, or how your day was. [ And even though she doesn't ask, ] I'm having a waffle.

Guess that is true. I do like keeping you on your toes. [ He smiles teasingly at her, shooting her a wink before looking ahead again. ] And you wouldn't be Spock were you not true.

[ With a sprinkle of technicality here and there, of course— something Jim greatly appreciates. Spock knows how to skirt around certain inconveniences in very logical ways and without ever lying, which he sees as an impressive skill, one of the things that makes her irreplaceable in his eyes. ]

Fine, then. You're the one wasting your time. [ Or enjoying herself, more like. He doesn't point out how illogical that is. ]

Oh, come on. [ He groans a little, rolling his eyes. ] I do stick to a very healthy diet most of the time, there's nothing wrong with changing things up a little every once in a while. And what Bones doesn't know won't hurt him— unless you're planning to tell on me.

[ Jim snorts at her answer, chuckling as he shakes his head. ] Smartass.

[ He says it almost fondly, though. Weirdly enough he does like it when Spock teases him, if nothing else because it comes to show she has a sense of humor in there somewhere, though most might not realize or even believe it. If that proof comes a little at his expense, well... that's something he can live with. ]

I feel it holds true to everything. [ He watches her as she gets her breakfast, lips quirking and eyebrow raising in amusement, even if he doesn't say anything. He gets the same for himself afterwards, fruit and everything (because he can compromise too), then tips his head a little at her. ] Your loyalty is, as always, very much appreciated.

Well, it depends on the posterior. I'm sure if anyone's could it would be yours. You are exceptionally bright, after all. [ There, that counts as a compliment. Sort of. Except he means it as anything but, as the teasing edge to his words makes plenty clear.

Grabbing his breakfast, he turns to Spock, waiting for her to lead the way to the table they usually take up. It's empty, as it usually is, probably because everyone on board the ship is used to this routine of theirs, by now. ]


Fine, then. Almost everything. A lot of things. That work for you?

Fine. Hey, maybe that's what happens when people talk out of their ass. [ (Ha ha, get it.) He knows Spock won't laugh but he still looks at her somewhat expectantly for her reaction. Even a faint quirk of her lips will be a victory.

The whole incident is at the back of his mind at this point. For how stiff and formal that Spock can be at times, Jim finds himself relaxing around her with remarkable ease. ]


I think we both know I often lack precision in a lot of things. [ And there he goes, doing it again. ]

[ Nonsense, he's hilarious. Well, he sure thinks he is, at least. Anyone else would've been in stitches at that joke. (Or just rolled their eyes and groaned.) ]

That's right. We're a good match, you and I. I mean, in the sense that we just balance each other out, not that we— right. You know. [ There's an awkward pause, then he just nods and turns his attention back to his breakfast. ] Yeah, go ahead. See you later on the bridge.
