   “Right.” M’Benga nods unconvincingly; clearly the information is news to him, to which brings the tiniest of blushes upon the high of Spock’s cheekbones. As quickly it appears, Spock wills his autonomic system back into his control, and the normal amount of blood flows through his face once more. “So… what you’re saying is, you wish to advance your… relationship.”

    Spock has reason to pause here. “Upon Jim’s… request.” Something about the way Spock verbally executes the correction twists M’Benga’s lips into a grin - one he unsuccessfully attempts to will away - and Spock once more fights with a blush.

    “Meaning Jim tried to push himself on you,” M’Benga interprets, and quite accurately. He leans back in his chair. “And how did he react when you didn’t respond quite as - enthusiastically - as he did?”

    “Therefore, you are requesting that I… give you said ‘talk’.”

    “As stated before, you are practiced in such things in a manner which no other crewmember is. Excluding, perhaps, Doctor McCoy.” Spock does not grimace at the proverbial shitstorm to which would occur should he have inquired after the Enterprise’s CMO, but it is a close thing. M’Benga appears to - as Doctor McCoy might say - ‘get the gist’.

    “Okay.” M’Benga accepts with a long-suffering sort of sigh. “Okay. Shouldn’t be too painful. I’ll stick to medical terms.” He clears his throat. “Alright. Did Jim… say what he wanted to do?”
