( it doesn't take very long to make her way to jim's quarters. it's funnny now to think that there's anticipation curling in her stomach rather than annoyance, how far they've come. it isn't funny to think about all the things they've lost on the way, but sometimes, there are reminders of all the things they've gained, too.

the friendship with jim is something she's gained, for sure. maybe there's more to be gained, still. it's even more of a gain for spock, she knows. )

Is that Scotty's stuff? ( yeah, those are her first words once the door to his quarters closes behind her. )

[ They've had serious losses over the years, but they have gained more than they ever thought possible. For Jim, he never expected a family to come of a crew. A home to come in the form of his ship. He'd never trade any of that, and there isn't anything he wouldn't do for his crew.

And, years later, Jim knows full well that Uhura's first name is Nyota, but it just feels weird to say after being in the proverbial dog house for so long. He'll stick with what he knows, it's safer that way. He's seen her combat training skills, she is not to be trifled with.

Apparently, tonight, he's an idiot though, but it sounds like a bit of fun. ]

Sure is, but if you tell Spock I will deny everything. Don't make me regret sharing.

I'd say my lips are sealed, but if they were, I couldn't drink anything. ( she smiles a little. ) And that would be a pity.

( she's had scotty's stuff before. it's strong, but that isn't a bad thing. and maybe drinking it with jim tonight will lead to more, but that isn't a bad thing, either. uhura doesn't like to think of it as liquid courage, but lowered inhibitions might be just what she wants tonight. )

I'll just have to trust you then, won't I? [ He quirks a grin at her, and takes a sip of his own glass after picking it up. ]

But, before we go anywhere with anything, I have a confession: I don't actually have a hand phaser handy. This was all a clever ploy.

[lexikos]

I'm shocked.

( her tone is utterly dry, the precise nuance of it something that could have come from spock rather than from her — but she's grinning while she says it. ) How deceitful.

[caelus]

I know. It's terrible. Awful. Maybe even scandalous.

[ The dry as the desert tone makes him chuckle heartily before he downs the rest of his glass, quirking an eyebrow in challenge. ] I'm trouble, what can I say?
