[ 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.)

_{( captain this is completely undignified.

anyway, sulu's voice and expression are perfectly controlled as he says: )}

I suppose congratulations are in order.

Thanks, Sulu. I know I can always count on you.

[ That knife he lets you carry around? Stab him with it later. ]

Of course.

_{( do you ever notice how sulu never argues with you, jim? it's either because he agrees with your dumbass decisions or he realizes telling you how dumb they are never works. also it's funner to watch bones and spock do that.

but he will totally stab you don't worry. )}

Do you mind if I ask you something, ca--Jim?

[ Sometimes he notices, other times he chooses to selectively ignore his sassy crew because a man needs his ego. ]

Ask away!

[ Way, way too blissed out. ]

How did you realize... about you and Ms. Wallace?

_{( he sort of sounds like he's asking how love works. he's actually just trying to figure out how curses work. 8|b )}
