[Very early in the morning, T'Pol's PADD clicks on. For a moment, there's just the ceiling of her dark room; then there's an odd little meow, and a cat pops in, far too close to the camera. It's curious. WHAT ARE YOU, PADD? It meows again, though it sounds a lot more like a chirp, and then there's a tiny paw that looks kind of like a huge paw scraping the screen. He starts making all kinds of noises, and before it gets too annoying, there's some shuffling in the background, and T'Pol's blue pajama'd legs come into sight for a few seconds, scaring off the kitten before the camera clicks off.

When it comes back on, T'Pol's still in her pajamas, and holding a very tiny Egyptian Mau in one hand. He's looking at her and the camera curiously, legs waving around, since she's holding him from underneath.]

Has anyone lost a feline? [There is all kinds of lineface in this question, because she has no idea how it got in her quarters.]

Would you be interested in learning a Vulcan game?

Which one?

Kal-toh. You gave me this set last December, I believe. It's seen little use since.

Private

I might almost be offended that you haven't used it. But a year isn't so bad.

I'll play.

I've used it on occasion. [But solitary games can be dull. :c] We'll be meeting in the mess hall tomorrow night. My quarters are not large enough.

Private

[lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com]

Tomorrow night? Perfect. I'll be there.

[She tries to nod, but the cat is now swatting at things that are not there. :|] I'll see you then.

[Pause.]

Enjoy your new...acquisition.

Private

[with_discipline]

It appears he may be a gift.

Private

A gift?

From...?

Private

Captain Kirk offered to get me a feline when I let him take Aristotle.

Private

[lt-n-uhura.livejournal.com]

That makes sense, then.

Does he have a name?

Private

[with_discipline]

I told him it was not necessary. [Which still isn't really a surprise, but.]

No. I'm uncertain what to call him. There seems to be a habit in naming pets after historical figures.

Then what about one of yours? Surak, perhaps?

Private

[with_discipline]

That would be...inappropriate, I believe. Surak's katra was destroyed before I returned here.
