I cannot say that I understood all of that, but I do not think that you are very naughty. Or grumpy, still.

Doctor McCoy. [ Dropping into a quick curtsy, smiling. She's genuinely happy to meet him in person. ]

[ That is goddamn adorable, and he feels like he should bow or something, but he also feels like that would be ridiculous. Instead, he nods again, a little deeper this time, and gives her a slight smile of his own. ]

It's good to see you face-to-face for once.

It is, very much so. [ She doesn't expect him to bow. Hesitating for a moment, but he's smiling and she doesn't think that he'd mind, so she carefully settles a hand against his elbow. ]

Shall we go?

[ Nah, he doesn't mind. ]

Did you have a destination in mind, or are we just goin' to see where we end up?

The latter.

[ And she's promised herself that she won't push. Really. But this is Tessa, and if there's one thing she wants in her life, it is to understand other people. ]

So what were all those things you did? Only some of those made sense to me, to be honest.

[ With that in mind, he picks a direction and starts walking. ]

Which ones did you have questions about?

[ As dangerous a question as that is to ask... ]

Well.

[ Frowning a little as she tries to remember all the words. ] What is a Trill? Or Starfleet? And did your ex-wife truly keep a whole planet?

Trill are a humanoid species from a planet of the same name. Starfleet is the organization I work for. We're a peacekeeping and humanitarian armada, among other things, for the United Federation of Planets.

As for my ex-wife... She did enough to chase me out of Georgia an' into Starfleet.

There are different planets? And species? Truly? [ well. After Shadowhunters and Downworlders, that should not be such a surprise, really. ]

I am very sorry that she hurt you.

[ There's a slight chuckle. ] There are. The Federation itself is made up of at least 120 members -- not necessarily worlds, since you've got things like the Andorian Empire, which covers most of a system and not just world -- and 700 colonies.

[ And he's just going to ignore the bit about his ex. ]

Oh. That is a lot of different planets. [ All the astonishment and wonder.

And that's okay, but she's still sorry. ]

It makes things quite a bit more complicated.

I would imagine. And you are a Doctor for all of the species?

I try to be.

Is that not very difficult?
