Personal Log #11 - Dazed and Confused [Voice/Action]

[Spock opened his eyes and held in the groan at the familiar sight of Luceti's forest. It took a moment for the Vulcan to organize his thoughts and realize what had happened...

Ah yes... He had been kidnapped once again.

Spock sat up, wary of the lingering effects from his visit with the Malnosso... and looked around for his Journal. Predictably it was laying innocently by his side... illogically he had hoped that it might have been lost. No matter.
Spock reached for it and stopped... realizing that something was wrong with his hand. It was... frozen. His long fingers stuck together, hand in the shape of a loose fist and refusing to move. The Vulcan's eyes widened in surprise as he checked his other hand, finding the exact same thing. What was he going to do? He could barely pick up the journal let alone use it properly.

The Vulcan fumbled with the journal, finally getting it to flop open on in his lap... ]

Greetings. I have been returned from my... visit... with the Malnosso. I require assistance. Is anyone there?

[Action]: Spock can be found in the woods without the use of his hands. He's going to need a lot of help, and Spock's not going to like it.
You can also catch him walking towards his place with his journal held awkwardly between his fists. Approach him if you dare.]

[OOC: When I originally went on Hiatus, I said that Spock was going to be on autopilot, however, I've needed to be away longer than originally planned. It was advised to me that I have Spock mallynapped to excuse him from not knowing everything that's gone down. Apparently I've missed wings... this upsets me greatly. XD]

Well, you're looking at the term friend kind of loosely. Remember, the human language is a language of layers and context clues, not mathematical meaning.

_{[ He cocked his brow at him, recognizing the attitude, but for the
moment choosing not to make a scene about it as they kept heading for their
home. ]}

So I have become aware.

[Spock seemed to let go of something... and addressed Jim once more.]

Captain, how have you sustained your mental shields in my absence?

_{[ Oh, yeah, those.}

He hadn't. He had forgotten, the presence being faint, not something he had to think about maintaining. With Spock back, well... it wasn't exactly easy. He could already feel a headache coming on. ]

Well... yeah, about those...

[Spock looked at Jim....concern written on his face.]

Jim? Is something wrong?

I haven't exactly been... practicing with them. They've gotten lax since you've been gone so long.

_{[ He grins at him sheepishly. ]}

[Spock stops and regards Jim....his eyes narrowing in suspicion.]

....you are in pain.

It's just a headache Spock. They'll go away once I get the shields back up.

_{[ He shrugged and grinned. ]}

Look, we're almost home.

[Spock opened his mouth... but then shut it again, going very quiet.
The Vulcan had realized that he can't even help Jim with his headache until his hands are back to normal.
Spock stares at his fists with disdain, realizing now more than before how painfully inconvenient this situation was.

Spock only nodded at Jim... It would be good to be home.]

_{[ Kirk got the door open and lead the other in and up, depositing him
on the couch. ]}

Okay... so, you hungry? I'll see if I have any fresh veggies or fruit around. I've been trying to keep them around for Arya, but I guess I'll need to grab some more for you.

[Spock closed his eyes in what might have been frustration.]

I do not require sustenance at this time Captain.
[Jim, you're going to have your work cut out for you.]

_{[ He gave him a withering look. ]}

Don't you dare start lying to me on anything, Spock. But fine, if you don't want to eat, you at least need a bath.

[Spock had opened his mouth to respond but quickly shut it as he looked sharply at his Captain.]

A bath? Of course... excuse me.
[And with that the Vulcan attempts to practically run to the bathroom by himself.]

_{[ Kirk followed at a more leisurely pace, well aware that once the
other was in the bathroom, there wasn't much he could actually do without
some unique uses of parts of his body. ]}

Come on, Spock, at least let me get the bath going for you.

[Spock thought he could escape Jim for a moment... but then he realized that he couldn't even turn the knob for the bath water.
Spock looked... really forlorn for a Vulcan.]

Jim... I have been rendered completely useless.

Yeah, I know, but it's not permanent. Come on, let me in and get the bath ready and you can relax and mull it over while getting yourself clean.

[Spock turns and shoves the door open with his awkward fists... and lets Jim in.
He's not going to even bring up the fact that he can't take off his clothes... he'll bathe with them on.]

_{[ Kirk walks in and goes to the bath, turning on the water, testing it
before he set the plug to fill it up. He got down towels, laying them over
the toilet, and turned back to shut off the water. He looked at Spock,
raising a brow, but they both knew what was going to have to happen. ]}

I'll close my eyes. I've undressed people before in the dark.

[Spock huffs...
He was caught.]

It is illogical to close your eyes Captain. I am not ashamed of my body.
[...he was embarrassed by the fact that he was helpless and it was Jim who was undressing him.

The Vulcan held up his arms in silent invitation.]

Good for you.

_{[ He came over, treating it like a medical procedure as he worked off
the clothing the Malnosso had returned Spock to Luceti in. He did his best
to keep from looking the other over, not because he was shy or anything,
but he didn't want to see the possible damage. He didn't want to see his
friend's wounds, not like Spock had seen his.}

He helped Spock into the bath and then turned around, grabbing the clothing, intending to burn it. ]

Call me when you're ready to get out, okay?

[Spock kept his eyes averted the entire time...silently appreciating Jim's distance while removing his clothing.

And as for wounds... Spock was relatively fine.. just a bit bruised up. Nothing that time wouldn't take care of.
The Vulcan sat down into the steaming hot bath... awkwardly going for the soap and cloth, both falling into the water.

Spock's face is bright green with embarrassment and frustration.]

Of course Captain.

_{[ It was hard not to hear the two splashes, know what they probably
were. Oh boy. He sighed. ]}

Just relax for a bit, let me get you some clothes to change into and I'll come help you wash, okay?

[Spock refrained from making an indignant noise...]

I...

..yes Captain. Thank you.
[Illogically Spock wanted to kick and scream in frustration... but that wasn't Vulcan like behaviour.. so instead he leaned his head back against the wall and sunk down further into the water... closing his eyes.]

_{[ Kirk had seen Spock upset before, and frankly he didn't want to live
through that again. He had the bruise for a week to show for it.}

He left the bathroom and came back, a set of clothes in hand, placing them on the sink before he dragged in a stool into the bathroom and grabbed the wash cloth from the bottom of the tub. ]

All right, let's start with your arms. Give it.

_{[ He held out his hand, his no nonsense expression on. ]}

[Spock stared at Kirk... seemingly surprised that the man returned at all.
Silently, the Vulcan lifted his arms to give Jim access. He very much appreciated that the Captain wasn't making his usual jokes... Under the current circumstances, Spock probably couldn't take it.]

_{[ Kirk does have some sense of decency and proprietary, however thin
and potentially messed up it may be. He scrubbed at the other briskly,
working up his arm, massaging his hand. ]}

Can you feel anything? In your hand, I mean.
