[Because she's going to be pointedly ignoring any questions on fighting abilities--Buffy's still sour on the lack of her own. Being a normal girl, even for a few months, has lost its charm.]
Hey--Spock! Have you met Lungworm, yet?
[She is talking about the goldfish who is now inhabiting a small bowl on the living room table. A forgive me gift from her to Bones, you see.]
[ Spock, predictably enough, does not associate the term Lungworm with a fish. At least, not yet. So the answer will have to be no. ]
As the symptoms from an encounter with lungworm is particularly painful, preferably not.
[ Pause. Should he bluntly ask her if she's been infected with larvae slowly eating away at her lungs? Were Earth girls particularly sensitive about such things? ]
I...see. [ Yes, he has noticed the mysterious appearance of the creature during one of his trek for sustenance. A very common fish, typically gifted to the young of a species to develop their sense of responsibility. He had wondered where it came from. Perhaps Buffy is bringing a child to stay with them? ]
It is unpleasant. I believe a lack of breath and weight loss are common, something you cannot afford.
[ Refrains from mentioning the rest of the symptoms. ]
Perhaps I should leave the selection to your discretion. As I am unfamiliar with which decades you are referring to, I am disinclined to make an uninformed choice.
Aside from Emil's amazing exploding potato, I suppose.
The electricity has done a bit to boost my morale, though. More options. [Oh you can so bet that she's been seeing if it's possible to boost radio signals with an electric generator and other various and sundry and possibly dangerous experiments lately.]
You do not endure the same? [ He's used to working on multiple high-risk projects at one time, as well as encountering new world information that would engage his curiosity. ]
I agree. The library has been inadequate for our needs, and aside from various projects of which we lack the proper resources, the sudden addition of electricity is a welcome one.
[ The more communication bit he was all for. The more dangerous experimental manipulation of explodey type wires? Not so much. He'd rather you stayed intact, Uhura. ]
Oh, I do. I do. [Spock, this is her bored voice. Barely distinguishable from her regular voice, but still. No reports to translate, no messages to relay, no need to prevent interplanetary incidents due to Kirk's unorthodox negotiating techniques...]
Aside from the exploding potato incident, fine. Oh, I nearly started an electrical fire the other day, but as you know, I always follow Starfleet safety protocols.

Um... though for hobbies, I suppose I enjoy cooking.

Is that a responsibility you currently hold here?

[Now it's Buffy's turn to pause because, she realizes how much she doesn't know.] What are the symptoms of lungworm?

[Although that may just be Xigbar-specific.]

Killing heartless? You are claiming that you partake in senseless violence against those you judge immoral?

That was not Emil's?
I had thought that perhaps we could acquire a new hobby, something that will allow us to engage our minds while we continue our current assignments.
