[ He's got five more years of that when he gets home, joy of joys. ]

And you reside in the Metal Sector, a not inconsiderable distance to traverse each day. [ Hm. ] Perhaps the issue is not with distance, but your mode of travel. A bicycle, perhaps?

[ Cost-effective and harmless to the environment. ]

[parallels]

Are you going to get be a bicycle for a belated Christmas gift?

[she laughs with sparkling eyes, clearly she is chuffed at the idea of him thinking of her.]

[dow]

Given that I did not uphold the tradition at the time, with nothing to hand that I was aware would directly benefit you, I will.

[ And that is that. ]

[parallels]

[She laughs despite herself. She hasn't felt much like laughing lately and it feels like a weight is lifted when she does.]

Well, and kindest flatmate of the year award goes to Mr. Spock. Cheers.

[she raises her tea mug at him.]

[dow]

[ Raising his own cup, he taps it lightly against hers in a Terran toast before taking a sip, pleased she looks cheered. ]

That is a premature claim largely dependent on how many flatmates you may yet have.

[parallels]

Oh?

Are you planning on inviting in more? We're going to hit a limit on beds soon. If we end up doing bed sharing, I'd like someone handsome.

[She knows what he means but she decides to tease him anyway.]

[dow]

[ This face is usually reserved for Jim, missy, feel honored. ]

I only meant in the event you decide you do not wish to live with me any longer.

[parallels]

Doubt it. I like living with you.

[She would feel so honored if she knew.]

[dow]

[ There's a momentary pause, fleeting where he blinks in flatline surprise, and Spock's tilted look speaks volumes though his tone remains level. ]

I am pleased to hear it.

[parallels]

[She smiles because he's just so endearing like that and it makes her feel more at ease.]

You don't have to look so surprised.
