spohkh | 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]

Isn't it the same if you deny how you feel?

[You're both, Spock.]

They are feelings that I should not be having regardless. I had chosen the Vulcan way of life, and now...

[Spock closes his eyes for a moment... as if considering. Opening his eyes, he regards Ami.]

Perhaps you are right... and it is illogical to dwell on what we cannot change. Ka'adith... what is, is.

Sometimes it's not as easy as deciding.

[She has experience with that, too. She can tell herself the rational answers all she wants, constantly in fact, but they never seem to erase the feelings.]

[Spock inclines his head...
...the Vulcan equivalent to nodding.]

Of course.
[Spock's shoulders seem to slump in defeat... well... at least they're close to his house now.]

I admit that I am rather apprehensive to go home....

[She isn't sure whether he means home, or the house where he stays in Luceti. To her, the difference between the two ideas is enormous. Since he seems to be stopping as they get closer, she assumes it may be the latter.]

If you'd like to stay out awhile... [She'd be willing to stay with him.]

[Spock shakes his head...]

To avoid the inevitable is also illogical.
[The Vulcan is quiet for a moment as he regards Ami.]

Once more I find myself in your debt.
[Small smile.]

[Ami shakes her head.]

I didn't do anything special. [Although she'd take a very different tone in reversed circumstances. Someone simply being there is always the most important to her.]

Will it be alright if you go back?

My mother used to say that it is the simple things that mean the most.
[Spock understands what she means by that now...]

I will be completely reliant on my Captain if I return... It is something that I would prefer to avoid, yet it cannot be helped.

I think he'll be happy to do it. [Which doesn't really eliminate guilt, she knows, but maybe it helps a little, to think Kirk won't mind.]

[Spock quirks an eyebrow....]

"Happy" is a rather interesting choice of words...
[The Vulcan breaths in a way that could be a sigh... and looks at Ami once more.]

Ami, once again, you have my thanks. To borrow a Terran phrase... I will now 'face my demons'... and brave my Captain. [Have a small, companionable smirk.]

[Ami summons a smile of her own as they say goodbye.]

Good luck.

[Spock gives her a small smile...then looks down at his journal within Ami's grasp.]

I believe I will need you to take that inside as well...

That's fine. I'll leave it somewhere for you. [Open so he can still somewhat use it, might be best. At any rate, Ami walks Spock inside.]

[Spock follows her in... slightly relieved that there doesn't seem to be anyone else home.
He turns once more to Ami, and inclines his head.]

Peace and long life to you Ami, until next we meet. I will look forward to a game of chess...
[He would have offered a Ta'al... but, you'll forgive him if he can't.]

[Ami sets the journal down where Spock shows her.]

I'll look forward to it, too.

[With that, Spock walks her to the door and says a final goodbye...
He turns to face the empty house with a sigh... and waits for his Captain.]
