Has anyone... seen Commander Spock recently?

[This isn't easy for her to ask, isn't easy for her to admit that she can't find him. Part of her is hoping that someone else knows where he is, that he's not gone. Part of her is hoping that no one else has seen him, either, because then that means he's not avoiding her. Either way, something is right ( Read more... )

I haven't.

[Jim has more or less assumed Spock was avoiding him--but Uhura's the last person he thinks Spock would cut off all contact from. The thought that he's gone, too... Jim pushes it away. But he sounds worried.]

Not for almost a month.

[Jim is the first one to answer, but he's the last comment that Uhura addresses, because it's harder, somehow.]

No one has.

No one? Uhura...

I'm sure he's okay. I'm sure there's an explanation.

[locked] talentd_tongue July 4 2011, 08:32:34 UTC

Of course there is.

[A pause so long he might actually think that she's gone away.]

He went home.

[Jim is quiet, too, for a long moment.]

If he has, Uhura... if he has, we have to try to think of it as a good thing for him. He wouldn't have gone without you if he had a choice.

[Oh, Jim, if only you knew.]

Yes he would have.

We... talked about it once. I said I wouldn't go without him. He... disagreed. It's all right.

[Not because it's really all right, but because some part of her feels that it knew that this was coming.]

[Jim is quiet a moment, shocked. But he tries to recover, tries not to let it show.]

Uhura... it's not all right. It's okay to feel... whatever you're feeling.

[locked] talentd_tongue July 6 2011, 20:46:37 UTC

[No. It's not. Because if she starts letting herself realize what she's feeling, she'll have a breakdown, and right now she doesn't have that luxury.]

I know. I just... don't have the time for this right now. Tony needs me, and I'm no good to him if I'm an emotional wreck.

[It's the only thing keeping her together right now.]

[locked] goldn_boy July 6 2011, 21:09:16 UTC

[Jim recognizes that need.]

Yes, but... take care of yourself as best you can. And let me help. Do you have enough food, for both of you?

[He's been prioritizing, feeling slightly guilty about it but knowing Uhura's less able than usual to focus on things like that. He's trying to make sure she has what she needs.]

[locked] talentd_tongue July 10 2011, 02:14:02 UTC

We're fine, Jim. Thank you.

[She has enough for Tony, and she personally hasn't wanted to eat for a while now. At any other time it would worry her terribly. Now it's just something she tries to put out of her mind.]

[locked] goldn_boy July 11 2011, 21:45:02 UTC

Okay.

[He doesn't quite believe her, but he's not going to snap at her, either.]

Just... let me know.

[locked] talentd_tongue July 23 2011, 10:58:24 UTC

I will.

[Long pause is long.]

Thank you, Jim. You're a good friend. A good man.

[locked] goldn_boy July 26 2011, 04:46:36 UTC

It's the least I can do. Take care of yourself.

[He only wishes he could do more.]
