[The video begins when the device is set down on the small table situated beside a chair. Uhura comes into focus, cradling a small, white creature in one arm- a cat, as it turns out.

Stopping before the chair, she gently deposits the cat into the lap of the person seated there- which would be none other than Spock.]Look. We have a new friend. Isn’

[ lulz Was in the middle of tinkering with his experiment - and stops to stare down at it, raising an eyebrow. ]

Why do we require a feline?

[hershotsonher]

[She grins and lifts a shoulder in a shrug.]

We don't require one, necessarily. I just thought it'd be nice to give him a home.

[pointyears]

I see.

[ It begins purring, which seems to confuse him as he tilts his head a bit. Spock makes no other move to touch it at all. ] What does it require?

video ;; /gleeeeeeeeeee

[hershotsonher]

[Uhura covers her mouth with her hand quickly to muffle a laugh she can't choke back.]

Well, he clearly likes you. [pause- under control, under control] Cats enjoy being petted.

video ;; all for you /rofl

[pointyears]

[ He has noted her amusement, watching as the kitten paws at his shirt. ] Are you certain it does not require sustenance?

video ;; wait until the space trike shows up 8D

[hershotsonher]

[Probably pointless to try to keep from laughing by now.] He will in a little bit. I stopped and bought him some food on the way back.

video ;; ... you have plans that excite and scare me XD

[pointyears]

Understood. [ Well, all right. It seems to make her happy, so he won’t argue. Going back to his experiment, he’s wiring a few things together as the cat meows at him - both determined to either ignore or incite the other. ]

video ;; maaaaaaaaaaaaybe~

[hershotsonher]

A showdown. [Her voice is very solemn as she says this.]

video ;; OH GOD THIS KILLS ME

[pointyears]

... [ Okay, this is weird as hell. Spock pauses in his work to eye the feline, who merely stares back.

This could go on for days. ]

video ;; I THINK IT'S THE BEST EVER

[hershotsonher]

[Uhura continues to watch them, no less amused than she was initially.]

Maybe Yonalik is the most suitable name...what do you think?

video ;; I THINK IT'S THE BEST EVER

[pointyears]

A suitable name, yes. [ Eyes the thing pawing at him, curious. ] It would seem as though it desires something from me.

video ;;

[hershotsonher]

Then that's what we'll call him. [She crouches down so she's at a level with Spock's lap- and the cat pawing at him.] And like I said before, cats enjoy being petted.

[pointyears]

Do they. [ Responds dryly, though his interest is still piqued. He raises a hand to briefly touch the cat’s back, who seems to respond immediately by arching up into the touch. ]

... Fascinating.

[hershotsonher]

[She raises both of her eyebrows, looking from the cat to Spock. Her voice is just as solemn as it was before.]

Oh dear. I think this might be love.

[pointyears]

I may be unfamiliar with human entertainment. [ And he glances at her, a slight smirk to his otherwise cool expression. ] But I assure you, your amusement does not escape me.

[All out giggling now, sorry.]

Even so, my statement bears some truth.
