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.

"I'm brooding. It's different."

[And she's arching an eyebrow. Is it, Jim, really?] In what way?

[It is. Because he said so.]

"It's manlier."

[...That's officially too ridiculous for her to have an answer to. So. Just going to look on skeptically.]

[Fine. You hobgoblin.]

"I can't ask anyone to forgive me for it because I don't think I can forgive myself."

Then perhaps you should atone for your actions, instead of apologize for them.

"How?"

[Eeeeyebrow.] I think it's best you decide that.

[SUPER HELPFUL.]

"I think I should go."

[HEY, SHE DID HER PART. Aaand she nods, hands behind her back to keep from wringing them.]

Very well.

[He needs someone with feelings to talk him down, sorry.]

"Thanks again."

[...Some one with round ears might help with that.]

Of course.
