On being woken up again and apped at vanad. Yay bandwagon ~

I am afraid I fail to see the logic in your decision.

I must, it seems, adapt.

What if you can't? You're only...

[Human? Half-human?]

You can only be expected to withstand so much.

It appears that I will be given little choice.

Spock... [Whoops, any pretense of 'Commander' or 'sir' is gone.]

You can still be upset.

I will manage. [Probably badly.]

And if you can't?

[ Her temper is flaring now. ]

I do not know.

You're not invincible, Spock. You have to ask for help, sometimes.

I am aware.

Kirk won't be there. [ After a moment, a little more quietly. ] I won't be there.

...I know.

[Occasionally, his calm infuriated her. Frustrated her. Made her want to throw him bodily across a room and yell and scream and act like a child because it felt as though he didn't care, regardless of knowing otherwise.

This was one of those times.]

Do you know? Doesn't that scare you? Or are you going to act like you did in the volcano, martyring yourself for the sake of others?!

[She might have understood his reasoning and understood that he did care about her and about dying but .. if she wasn't there, if no one was there to save him, then what? ]

You misinterpret my meaning.

Enlighten me.

I have no desire to be without friends or...others in that place. However, as I am forced to be, I must. There is little else to be done but survive alone. The situation is wholly undesirable, but I have no choice.

The truth, Nyota, is that I must survive to return to you.

Spock...

[That's it. It's not possible for her to be removed from this situation any longer. Stepping forward and up on tiptoes, she folds him into her arms.]

That doesn't mean that you can't express feelings other than resignation, especially to me. Being angry, frustrated, annoyed, upset .. it's only natural in a situation like this.
