liar. liar, liar, liar. as soon as there was word they were retreating, calla stomped her way into the turbo lift, huffing in frustration. it seemed like almost every time she wasn’t on a mission—something went wrong.

was the wrong on the mission that she wasn’t there?

his door came into view and promptly slid open, that frustration and anger melting away the minute she saw his face, having to had just discarded his dirtied uniform.

feet hurried to his side, body pressed against his to feel the cooler, living, breathing temperature of the vulcan, hands reaching up to grab his face. words fell out of his mouth, and calla half listened to them, thumb grazing over his bottom lip while she studied his face, like there was a chance she had taken that for granted.

brows furrowed when he finished, spock carrying on with his silent affection and apology. hands slid down his neck and traps until they held his shoulders, pushing on her toes to give him a bit of an aggressive kiss, a muffled sound vibrating off of them before she parted.

“ is that so? “ she looked him up and down, twisting her lips as if she hadn’t already planned for this.

“ guess I’m coming too, then. “ giving him a tight lipped smile, patting his bicep, checking to see if he was ready to go.

@highly1ogical liked for a starter.

to anyone wholly unaware of the complexities of not only vulcan culture, but those of the woman herself that most only see as a small human, the way that the lieutenant approaches the commander is no less respectful or out of the ordinary to anything else. a completely natural interaction.

but to those that know.

nala steps to stand beside spock as he works away on one of the screens in the security bay - where he absolutely does not belong - and though her hands are folded at the small of her back, there's an air. she says nothing for a moment, then reaches forward to close out a window that has become unnecessary, sliding the one beneath it in his direction and, though she doesn't touch him, there's an almost graze of her hand over his before she retreats to pluck up a padd and begin transferring necessary files from the window screen to the one in her hand.

"we will be prepared to dock on schedule, commander. the crew have been working twice as hard as usual to assure that there are no delays."

˚₊‧꒰ა 🐬 💿 🌊 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ -> LOWER LIP PULLS DOWN .. into a pout. and her body slouches back into her chair. well - that was annoying. she had asked for a detour to this specific planet for a reason. brows furrowed. ellie never asked for much .. not when she was always inconveniencing the crew of the enterprise. but when she had a recipe in mind , she had to make it. especially when she wanted to give back. ❝ none ? ❞ of course takka berries where impossible to find in the alpha quadrant - but some places had them. ❝ you don't think i could convince the captain to make the trip to the delta quadrant ? ❞ her question was a joke.

rolling her eyes , the vulcan was always so matter of fact in these situations which could sometimes rub her up the wrong way . he frustrated her at times . her back still turned from him , analysing the results of her latest project . feigning a smile , she turns to face spock . . . of course , he always wanted efficiency and right now carol felt like a blockage in their path .

❛  i'm working flat out here , spock . we can't all prance about on the bridge .   ❜ she teases , although being deadly serious . if their captain hadn't risked their inventory in the last mission , the scientist would have more. equipment .
