If out of sight is out of mind, then how does absence make the heart grow fonder?

[Private to T'Pol]

I have an odd question for you.

[She rolled her eyes and leaned back in her chair, turning to face him.] You didn't do anything stupid, amazingly. You were actually leading a revolution. I worked for you, helping you out. We put out posters and did sabotage and...[She laughed.] I can't remember why, but we didn't have shoes.

"Well, you know sometimes you have to sell your shoes for poster board," [Kirk answered her laugh with one of his own.] "I mean, being a revolutionary doesn't pay well last I checked. It's why I went with Starship captain."

No. We were tired and hungry and lived in dirt, but at least we were fighting for something. [She shrugged.] There was a fantastic poster you put out once, depicting the current leader in a very...negative light. It was rather hum- Oh I remember why we didn't have shoes! [She sat up straighter.]

We threw them at public officials.

[Kirk let out a bark of laughter at that.] "I do like this story. Anything else good happen?"

[Well, there was the part where they had sex, but she wasn't going to bring that up.]

Hmm...not really. Looking back on it now, it wasn't that terrible, but it was actually a horrible place to be.

I guess the fact that I can laugh about it now means that things are at least a bit better now.

Oh, and apparently I'm really good with a knife.

[Kirk arched an eyebrow at that.] "Alright, next knife fight we" [as in the crew of the Enterprise, not the people on the Barge] "get into over trade rights, you're up."

Next knife fight? [She couldn't help but laugh about it.]

There has already been one?

[Kirk grinned at that.]

"You've met me before right?"

You're right, you're right. My mistake.

[She shifted in her chair. Not nervously but...awkwardly.]

That was the end of my story, though.
