This is an...interesting holiday.
[Private to McCoy]
The gloves are very nice, Doctor. Thank you. [That chocolate is so being ferreted away. Such a bro.]
[Private to Akio]
Thank you for the flower; it has been several years since I have seen a rose.
[Private to Severus]
The books were very thoughtful. I am grateful for them. [And after a pause] I hope the trip to New York was not too intolerable.
[Private to Sam W.]
The book has been very helpful, and its illustrations are quite detailed. Thank you. The candles are appreciated as well; I have more than enough now to last for quite some time. [So many candles, Sam. So many candles.]
Private to Uhura]
I have not played
kal-toh in many years. Thank you, Lieutenant; perhaps you would care to join me for a game.
[Private to Kirk]
[A short pause to get the 'I hate you so much' thing under control.] The next time you feel driven to give me a gift, Captain, please refrain.
