I'd Do Anything For Love, But I Won't Do That

[universal_charm]

[ The past week had been very trying with Spock back, for a number of reasons. Not that he hated having Spock back, of course, but it was an adjustment, and was turning into a personal learning experience. 

For one, he was fast figuring out that he was not meant to be a nursemaid of any kind. He didn't have the patience for it, or the beside manner - especially against a Vulcan. Of course he did it though, because Spock needed him too and he wasn't the sort to leave a friend hanging out to dry. But, yeah, sometimes it just made him realize how glad he was his career had turned out the way it had and that he kept far, far away from med bay. 

Besides nurse maiding, he was having constant headaches. He figured it was from the link he shared with Spock. In his absence, he had loosened his shields - at first in a attempt to continue to feel for the link, faint with Spock being away from their little bird cage. And now that he was back, he was forgetting to keep himself closed to it. It made for pounding temples, and a part of him knew he would need to start meditating again to gain control.

For the moment though, he had a bit of time free, Spock wanting to meditate, and that being something Spock could do on his own without aid from Kirk. He was fairly sure Nymeria and Arya should be home soonish, but even then he didn't plan to be gone long. Just run some errands, get some air, and come on back.

That being the case, Kirk could be found at the general grocery store, picking up quite a few vegetables to acommodate Spock's return and his dietary choices, sitting by the fountain to enjoy some coffee in the hopes it would ease some of his headache, and a bit later, after checking on Spock, he can be seen working out in the battle dome using the forms he had been taught from his numerous teachers, which had actually started producing an interesting, if somewhat crude, mix style (which was currently being thrown at a sand-filled dummy rather than his usual holo partner). ]

[ Twilight peeks in one afternoon, in hopes of practicing some of what Smoker and Daisy have taught her, and is surprised to see it occupied. ] Oh, sorry! I can come back.

[Luke himself was just heading to the general store, likely to see if there was anything he could just pick up and set in his room to gather dust. He likes collecting things, okok. But upon nearing the place, he sees Kirk at the fountain, sipping coffee and looking a bit like he's in pain.

So, feeling like he hasn't seen him in a while as well as concern, he changes paths to go to him.]

James!

[Oh. My. God.

Is the first thing to cross Kate's mind when she realizes just who it is occupying the room she had intended on using in the Battledome. Either that's Chris Pine or -- jeez, Billy and Teddy were right.

People come from all over here. And that, that means...

Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise is standing right in front of her, displaying an impressive array of martial styles. And it's the young, hot one at that.

Kate gawks for a second more before regaining her cool. Leaning against her bow, she places her fingers in her mouth to whistle. That ought to get his attention.]

Looks like that dummy's a hell of a challenge.

[She had reverted to some of her old habits since Sokka had broken up to her. Keeping to herself. Avoiding people, friends and strangers alike. She had been hurt by his words, his explanations. More than that, she had felt like an idiot. Stupid to dare to trust anyone, even a friend. To let herself feel and be happy again.

She should have known better. Her own happiness never lasted. And maybe - maybe - it was only a matter of time before Prim left. Richard. Or Zevran. And she'd be alone here. Exactly the sort of fate girls like her deserved.

So she doesn't notice Kirk as she wandered though the grocery store, not paying all that much attention to what she put into her basket. Didn't notice anyone. Nor did she care to.]

[ Kakashi had wandered into the Battle Dome out of curiosity, finding the entire concept of "simulated fights" rather... interesting. Potentially useful. Very useful. He'd spent a few hours there, watching many of the simulations go on, and somehow just now has stumbled upon a man training with a sand-filled dummy.

His style is... crude, to say the least, and Kakashi's not sure if he'd even really be able to take down a genin, but he supposes this man might not be from a world where children train in battle from a young age. It might be useful to get to know him, but for now Kakashi simply observes, leaning against a wall with his arms loosely crossed across his chest as he watches. ]
