Tina, your purposeful misleading is amusing but I would offer you a caution.... He is not similar to your Mccoy in anything but face. I would be relieved if you would not... provoke him.
Honey, trust me. I know. And I'll definitely be trying to resist the urge.
Of course!
1. Okay, so I know you like Die Hard, but what's your favorite movie that doesn't involve explosions?
2. Have you ever thought about growing out your hair?
3. If you had to choose between eating with your fingers in public or sitting at a table where everyone else was eating with their fingers, which would you pick?
4. What's one thing that you want that's only about you, not about your mate or your ship? And don't say there isn't anything, because I'm calling preemptive bullshit on that.
5. Are you staying safe? I think you know what I mean.
1. I do not recall any explosions in Finding Nemo.
2. I have only very rarely thought about my hair. I do not care for the regulation shortness required by the Empire but any sort of length also seems impractical.
3. I would stop my heart and simply die. Tina, two entirely unacceptable situations does not a question make.
4. Tina, my mate and my ship are things for me. I do not know how to answer this. I... do not know.
5. You are ridiculous. I am fine. We have even procured a portable dermal regenerator, at Christopher's insistence as I am fine, so that such injuries do not need to be treated by your staff in sickbay.
1. It is quite sad to me. Though Dory is highly amusing.
2. A ponytail? Fascinating. How odd.
3. It is not cheating to find an acceptable alternative when one does not care for the options presented. It is not cheating - it is victory.
4. Why do you consider it so worthwhile?
5. Christopher has informed me that I am not allowed to have a pet as pets shed. This is most disappointing. However, I would not name such a pet "ridiculous" or "Tina" as that would be disrespectful to you.
4. I think you could do with some considering your own desires, now and then (beyond sexual desire, you perv). You're so focused on seeing yourself as the subordinate half of a two-person unit... I just wish you'd let yourself be more than that.
5. I meant "pet name" in the sense of term of endearment.
Not all pets shed. Maybe you could get a fish tank? Or keep snakes or lizards or something.
4. Our wants are quite aligned the majority of the time. That is one reason I appreciate my mate. However, he is... responsive to the needs that I have in ways you may not understand. The last time? Tina, it is quite recent. I wished to continue our friendship. As I have done.
5. Do you have logic to support your conclusion?
Felines are a delight. Christopher's logic is sound, however. My crewmates would simply kill it in an attempt to disrupt my alertness.
If I had a penny for every time you ask me that...
(before you ask, it's an out-of-date idiom that essentially means "this happens a lot")
If you don't know what you want, or how to acknowledge it even to yourself, much less how to ask for it, it doesn't matter if your mate is the most considerate man in seven universes.
I wish you could be as sensitive to your own needs as you are to his.
May I also receive questions?

2. I think a ponytail would suit you, for some reason.
3. Cheater.
4. That's why I asked. I think it's a worthwhile question.
5. If you keep calling me that, I'm going to start to think it's a pet name. ;)

5. Ah. Then you should have said so. It would be, if nothing else, aptly descriptive.
Lizards and fish are not... cuddly. I would like a kitten.

5. I'm going to assume you mean that fondly.
Kittens are fun. There's definitely something to be said for cuddliness.

5. Well, you did just say something about wishing to continue our friendship...
That is totally fucked up. Kittens should be exempt from all treacherous scheming.

5. I suppose that is reasonable.
It is. I would take it very personally but I cannot be everywhere at once.

It means... Hm. Not sure how to explain "I'm touched." That hearing that makes me feel valued. Not quite the word I want, but it will do for now.

Ah. Thank you for the explanation.
