[video ; open ; a bunch of locks]

[Jim looks tired, for once older than his years. He doesn't avoid looking into the camera, however; merely wryly aware of his need for chagrin. Again.I owe each and every one of you an apology. My behavior was inexcusable, regardless of the... influence. To anyone I upset or insulted, I am deeply sorry ( Read more... )

I think we all did and said things that we regret.

I know I did.

[audio locked] goldn_boy April 23 2011, 05:27:57 UTC

For the record, you didn't do anything I even think requires an apology. I did sort of want to keep you thinking I was... Well. It doesn't matter.

I'm sorry you had to see that, is all.

[There's a pause here, a considerable one, and then Uhura switches to a video feed.

She looks tired. Very tired. She's found something to focus on, though - something that is not the potential loss of the structure she's started to piece together for herself in this place.]

You wanted to keep me thinking you were what?

[video - locked] goldn_boy April 23 2011, 18:44:54 UTC

[Except that's exactly what Jim is thinking about. In a roundabout way, perhaps. He chuckles, looking down for a moment in chagrin.]

I was somewhat selfishly thinking of the loss of your respect.

[He looks up, eyes twinkling just a bit from self-directed humor.]

[video - locked] talentd_tongue April 23 2011, 19:21:33 UTC

[She doesn't smile, but there's a softness in her voice, an understanding in her eyes.]

True respect is something built slowly over time. It can't be lost so quickly or so casually.

[video - locked] goldn_boy April 23 2011, 19:40:26 UTC

So you're saying I should have more faith in you.

[video - locked] talentd_tongue April 23 2011, 22:33:02 UTC

I'm saying that...

[What is she saying?]

Whether you have faith in me or not, it's more difficult to push me away then you seem to think it is.

[video - locked] goldn_boy April 23 2011, 23:32:02 UTC

[Jim smiles gently.]

That's essentially what I mean, Lieutenant.

Thank you. The same is certainly true of me.

[video - locked] talentd_tongue April 24 2011, 08:01:47 UTC

[Her laugh is faint, almost nonexistent, but it's there.]

Then yes, sir... I'm saying you should have more faith in me.

[video - locked] goldn_boy April 25 2011, 05:08:37 UTC

[He does; Jim nods, filing that away.]

Don't worry too much, Uhura. It will pass--and nearly everyone was just as silly.

[video - locked] talentd_tongue April 26 2011, 04:49:58 UTC

Nearly. But... not everyone.

[He probably knows exactly who she's talking about. Shouldn't be that hard to guess.]

[video - locked] goldn_boy April 26 2011, 20:51:59 UTC

Well... no. [Gently.] But it's not an altogether unattractive trait, once in awhile. Silliness.

[video - locked] talentd_tongue April 28 2011, 23:32:13 UTC

I think that depends on who you ask, sir.

[video - locked] goldn_boy May 2 2011, 19:35:50 UTC

Always. But it's not always about other peoples' opinions.

[video - locked] talentd_tongue May 4 2011, 07:33:11 UTC

No... not always...

[But the tone of her voice implies that this time, it totally is.

The one person she wants to forgive her the most is also the one person she thinks is most likely not to.]

[video - locked] goldn_boy May 4 2011, 15:39:13 UTC

[Jim sighs. He knows, now, but he can't say anything comforting. Maybe she's right. He doesn't want to believe that, but he's no longer certain he knows Spock at all.]

It's going to be okay.
