𖦹

do you remember what i told you last time?

have you been doing well since i saw you?

that's not what you told me back then.

when was the last time i saw you?

you were shorter then.

i'm picking the restaurant this time.

we've known each other since we were children.

always knew i could count on you.

that time was different. this is worse.

you're not going to let me live that down, are you?

i seem to remember a conversation we had back then.

so you changed your mind about it?

do you remember our encounter in paris?

you should know me by now.

am i the only one that knows the truth?

we had a lot of help back then.

your mom told me to look out for you.

you just love bringing that back up to annoy me.

maybe don't mention my past indescretions?

this was never going to work out between us.

i told you not to get attached.

i know more about you than you think.

i was there, remember?

i'm not about to forget all the shit you put me through.

you told me you were going to try and make this work.

remember what i said to you?

the last time i saw you, things were good between us.

you never mentioned this before.

that was the longest flight of my life, and you made it worse.

can i still trust you after all that?

at least we tried to make something work.

we never discussed what happened between us.

okay, but i'm driving the car this time.

i haven't forgotten what you said last week.

i'm still thinking about your comment.

i didn't realize it was you when i first saw you.

you seem to make a lot of enemies around here.

there's not much for us to talk about.

we worked it out last time.

i know you far better than you know yourself.

we have a long history.

is that the shirt you were wearing last time?

what don't i know about you?

i haven't told them about us.

you were the only person i could go to.

you know me.

this is bigger than both of us.

i can't stand your driving.

are you taking me to the place we had dinner last time?

that's not at all what you said.

didn't we agree on that?

i thought i made it very clear where i stand.

are these the same people that came after you last time?

are you still going on about it?

can we talk about it?

staying silent about it won't help.

you're the only person who knows the real me.

He frowned at the memory. He was very fond of the Qowat Milat. They were his family. His home. And he would now be far away from them for who knew how long...

"De-escalation is useful," he said slowly, taking a place on the mats. "I... would like to learn that. The Qowat Milat are-- We're-- They're--" He made a face and shook his head. "It works for Romulans, but other cultures don't... know... what to do... and it... ends badly."

"I would be more than happy to share anything I know," he agrees. "But... I also have no idea how what I was taught might work with someone from another culture. That was never accounted for in much of anything that we learned, unfortunately..."

He shrugs some, perking up a little bit as he pads onto the mats as well.

He went over to their supply crate and pulled out two ration packs. He set them aside as a sort of invitation for Nechiri to come sit with him once the Trill was finished. "This one is spaghetti and meat sauce. And this one is stewed Vulcan cabbage with szana seasoning."

Nechiri let out a satisfied sigh before closing up the generator cavity again and getting up, only to get back down to check the flight console.

"Hmm..."

Whether that was in regard to the work done here, or in contemplation of which ration he preferred, it's hard to tell.

Really, though, he was pleased to find that the vast majority of the Lieutenant's repairs were solid. Only a few tweaks were needed to make the fixes more reliable in a pinch like this.

who knows what i will get done tonight after work. will i draw? will i do replies? will i do nothing but watch without a recipe for several hours until i go to bed? will i play ow? will i sit in bed and do nothing in particular until i decide to try and sleep?

who knows!!!

"I will get through this. We will get through this." He bonked his head gently on Susuro's shoulder and allowed himself to relax.

"Yes, we will." He gave Malcolm's head an affectionate pat.

He looked around to get his bearings, then led the way towards one of the areas with mats. He was was sure he didn't need them, but maybe Susuro would. "Do you have any training? I began learning so young... it was more like playing than training..."

"Oh-- wow, how cool! You must have shown a lot of promise," he muses. He's heard much about Jean-Luc Picard, even in his relatively short time in proximity of Starfleet and the Federation.

"And no, I've never had any training of this sort at all. It wasn't really something I thought I could do even if I wanted to-- I don't imagine any of the few I knew of who were proficient back home would teach me."

He followed Elnor to the mats, and noted the setup as similar to that which often accompanied his haxtorh practice. Maybe...thinking about it in this light would make it seem more familiar, and not so daunting.
