[ man, did Loki just appear in your quarters ]

Comments

[scienceping]

[she frowns a bit more, gripping Jim's shirt a little more tightly]

[thatboyisamonster]

You are not mine. And I refuse to be the outsider.

[scienceping]

[Sol visibly flinches at that, eyes watering. Spock moves to pick him up.]

[ship_ping]

[ ... dammit ]

You ain't an outsider with us.

[thatboyisamonster]

I am.

[ship_ping]

Like hell you are. We want you here with us, Loki.

[thatboyisamonster]

Look at your children, Kirk. They cower before me.

[ship_ping]

Because you're being prickly like usual. Not the same thing as not belonging here.

[thatboyisamonster]

This discussion is over.

[scienceping]

[Sol tries to hold back crying but he can't, burying his face in Spock's shoulder. Spock trying to be comforting while still standing Vulcan-straight, placing one hand on Sol's head.]

As you wish, Loki. The subject will not be discussed now.

[thatboyisamonster]

No, Spock. The discussion is over.

[ he looks at the children, blandly ] I will not subject myself to this.

[ I will not be part of a family again ]

[scienceping]

[Sol cries harder at that :((( Prime comes closer for the first time since they arrived in his home, taking Sol from Spock and leading Merrin to the other room, leaving the three of them alone.]

[thatboyisamonster]

[ he exhales, waiting to be yelled at ]

[scienceping]

[dunno about Jim, but Spock actually speaks more softly]

... As I stated before, Sol is both highly empathetic and telepathic. He most likely sensed your ... consternation and fear.

[thatboyisamonster]

But you let me near him anyway.

[scienceping]

With the hope that you would not purposefully frighten him. Or Merrin for that matter.

[thatboyisamonster]

[ he laughs ]

Not your best idea.

[scienceping]

You will not even consider the possibility.

[thatboyisamonster]

There is none.

[scienceping]

There would be if you allowed it. Both Jim and I are willing.

[thatboyisamonster]

And yet both of you are blind!

[scienceping]

How so?

[thatboyisamonster]

This will not work.

[scienceping]

It has not been attempted.

[thatboyisamonster]

It will not work!
