🖖🏽❤️‍🔥Oh For the LUV of Spock

I Left Him Lost Within The Shadows

A minute or so later Gamal and M'Benga gain permission to enter Avilasa's quarters and get the same shock that Spock and Christopher had but in person for Dharmadas was also there "I figured you'd like to say goodbye"  Avilasa says to Gamal who goes from shocked to curious "you know as well as I that he cannot go with you the main reason is because your people think he's dead the secondary reason is you and your people have not gained my trust so I do not believe he will be safe with you not only that but you raised him a certain way and I doubt it will be easy for you to acquire a better way to do so and he deserves better than he's gotten since he was chosen!"  she tells him he nods with sad eyes Gamal spends a hour with his son then leaves for Prospect VII after he leaves Avilasa explains one last thing to Christopher "I don't know how long the magic within the clay sculpture will last after all we couldn't have it "live" forever if we did that they'd know we had interfered even if they never figure out how"  Christopher chuckles at the last part "so.... how much trouble am I in!?!"  she asks he laughs.... Christopher gets to know Avilasa's parents before they take Dharmadas to their home after they leave Spock watches as Christopher hugs the Kitsune he loves tightly and hears him whisper breathlessly "thank you!"  Avilasa replies "I didn't do it for you"  Christopher laughs then says "I know!"  then he and Spock start to leave then stop when they hear her ask "so, how much trouble am I in!?"  Christopher bursts out laughing "I did break a rule and "interfered" with a culture that isn't a part of the Federation"  she says "not that anyone will know about it!"  she mutters he chuckles then says "you let me worry about that"  she replies "yes, Sir!"  he smiles shaking his head then he and Spock leave.... a few days later Avilasa enters the Transporter Room just as Dr. Aspen walks off the Transporter Pad and for the first time in a long time she hides her tails and ears as she says "Captain, Sybok.... I mean Spock, sorry I didn't meant to call you by your brothers name"  both Christopher and Spock turn and look at her Dr. Aspen's eyes widen when she hears the name Sybok which is something Spock noticed Avilasa looks at Christopher and asks with a tilt of her head "why am I here!?!"  Christopher replies "I was wondering the same thing you're supposed to be off duty"  she says "no wonder I'm so confused!"  he chuckles then introduces her to the lady doctor "Dr. Aspen this is my Yeoman...."  Avilasa says before he can finish "K'diwa Aikum"  Dr. Aspen raises a eyebrow at her and Spock hides a smile Christopher looks Avilasa over and notices that she looks more Vulcan when she doesn't have her normal ears and tails which explains why she used Vulcan words as her name he and he was sure Spock also realized that for some odd reason she doesn't seem to trust the doctor Avilasa looks at Aspen and says "getting me to take a day off is almost as hard as getting me to use up my Shore Leave, Spock's been the only one to ever accomplish that"  Christopher says "I thought Uhura did that!"  Avilasa replies "she attempted but her way of doing it was waking me up and telling me that I'm "going to miss" Shore Leave Spock enticed me with a sparing match in the woods"  Christopher chuckles  "if you'll excuse me Captain I'm going to go be bored for the rest of the day!"  Avilasa says Christopher smiles then replies "by all means Yeoman"  she looks at Spock and says "Mr. Spock"  Spock bows slightly before her then watches her leave the room and turns his attention back to his duty he watches as Christopher moves his hands to make words "go check up on her"  luckily Avilasa had taught Spock Sign Language so he understood the hand signals/signs "if you'll excuse me Captain I have some duties to attend to"  Spock says "of course"  Christopher replies "it was a pleasure to meet you Doctor"  Spock says "you as well Spock"  Aspen replies then Spock walks out of the room hoping he can catch up to Avilasa who he knows wasn't actually confused.... she can be a very fast walker.... "you don't trust her"  Avilasa hears Spock say from behind her "though it may be possible that Dr. Aspen had met your brother at some point this "Aspen" feels like she's hiding"  she replies as he catches up to her and walks at her side "it may be best that we play along, who knows what could happen to the crew if she figures out someone knows something before her plan is revealed"  she says he nods she looks at him and says "I do know that it has something to do with you and your wife"  he replies "she is not my....!"  she raises her eyebrow at him which makes him stop speaking he sighs "do you think your brother is at the Rehabilitation Center Pringy's working at!?"  she asks he smiles he had forgotten she calls T'Pring that to annoy her "it is quite possible that they don't know they have him after all it's been how long since he's been to Vulcan!? so he could be using a assumed name"  she says he nods "do you think I need to go see Joseph!?"  she asks he smiles then says "that may be wise"  she chuckles which makes his smile grow "I had thought Vulcans were more serious Mr. Spock"  she says he chuckles....
