[ The feed clicks on to show Jim in a garage leaning against the open hood of a car, a dark-haired woman wrapped in his arms. Chinning her shoulder, he leans over to press fond, familiar kisses over her jaw and cheek, wherever he can reach. The good humor of his chuckles is echoed as the screen wobbles. ]

Is this thing on? [ The nuzzle to her neck is playful, as punishments go, for distracting him. Hi, City. ] Hey, this is Saya. We're, uh ... We're together. Bones, Spock, I want you to meet her tonight at dinner.

[She tips her head, every time he goes for a kiss, to try and catch his mouth, but the truth is she's not trying hard, because she's enjoying the attention. Anyone who knows her, who's seen with, and even who's slept with her knows that this isn't typical behavior.

But then she turns her attention on the camera, because Jim said something and it actually did cut through the haze of the honeymoon.]

It won't take long, I don't think. If that's a concern.

It's not a concern, don't worry! They're nice guys. [ Jim, too, appears a little more smitten than he's been with anyone or anything since he was commissioned for his ship. He squeezes his arms around her waist. ] You can stay as long as you want.

[There's a pause, and the corners of her lips curl up in a smile that is more real than her usual one.]

So dinner - and we'll see how it goes from there.

[She takes a moment, and finally catches Jim's mouth, and there's a kiss, as she reaches over and turns the feed off.]

(OOC: Lovestruck curse! Replies will be coming from both Jim and Saya, who got hit by Stupid Cupid.)

My experience with Saya? I, uh. I don't know, we met about an hour ... ago.

[ Okay, that. That seems weird even while he's cursed. ]

[A nod.]

Permission to speak freely, Captain.

Yeah, sure. Permission granted.

This is... sudden. Even for you.

[This is his last ditch attempt to get you to see logic. Then, he's kicking into emergency mode.]

But I, I feel like ...

[ Yes, well done! Frowning, Jim sits up to think it through. ]

Spock, this feels so right.

[ EXPLAIN. ]

It is wise to retrace one's steps and determine how one reached that conclusion.

[Don't make him have to nerve-pinch you.]

I don't know how.

[ And it's proving weird thinking about it. ]

You're happy to meet for dinner still, right?

[And that cements it. B(]

I have cleared my evening, and shall ensure Dr. McCoy attends also.

Spock, you're the best.

[ The relief is sincere, as is the chuckle that hinges on it. ]
