Jim's learned several nifty things about her PINpoint while she was confined to quarters. One is that yes, she could program in coordinates for transportation, and managed to test it on a few inanimate objects with 100% success rate. She wasn't sure yet if she wanted to use it on herself - she didn't have anything against transporters, unlike Bones, but she wasn't sure she trusted it solely to a device she could hold in the palm of her hand.

Another was that, in addition to sending text communication to other PINpoints, you could send cartoon faces for emphasis of emotions. After an hour of lying on her bed staring at the ceiling ensuing a dream - she refused to consider them nightmares, just slightly troubling constructs of her mind that sometimes wouldn't go away afterwards - after that, she found herself reaching for her PINpoint and selecting an appropriately hopeful, sad, and above all pathetic face to send to Bones with her text.

Pax?

Luckily, it was morning already for Bones' shift, or that might have hurt her case more than helped it.

He was working, trying his damndest to find something in the readings from the many - almost countless - scans from Jim. That along with dealing with an unfortunate - or dumb, either works - Ensign that managed to burn his arm and hand in a minor accident.

Sat in his office, chin in his hand as he looked over notes, his PINpoint flashed at him, causing him to grumble at the interruption. He grumbled further when he saw it was from Jim, and exhaled.

Bellum

Teasing? Yes. But he wanted to see her reaction. Well, read it.

Making faces at her PINpoint? Just maybe. Not funny, Bones, not funny at all.

He gets a much more high-tech equivalent of D:! D:! D:! back.

And she? Got a more high-tech equivalent of :P right back.

But, in all seriousness, he then sent another message right away afterwards. How are you doing?

I'm wearing my monitor like a good Captain. How long are you going to keep me here?

Because the answer to that questions is really, really stir-crazy.

Have you made your choice on the mind meld yet?

Because if she wanted an answer to the time limit, he needed an answer to that.

No.

But she would be royally pissed off if her freedom depended on that.

Will you stay the hell away from the bridge and anything remotely work related?

If that's the only way you'll let me out. But you know you can't keep me off duty forever, Bones.

No, I can't. But I can until I feel, as your Doctor, that you've made a good recovery.

And what do I need to do to convince you of that?

When the monitor stops spiking when your hormone levels peak, or your temperature shoots up, that'll go one step towards it.

Because when she had nightmares, he knew about it. He just didnt know they were nightmares, because he wasn't there with her.

The next reply was a couple minutes late, because she spent the time staring at the PINpoint, trying to make sense of that sentence. And push down the sinking feeling that she knew what he was picking up.

What?

Usual signs of anxiety. You're suffering but being too damned stubborn to talk to me about it. The monitor doesn't lie though. She could claim all she wanted that she was alright, but he knew better.

And the damned thing made it almost impossible to sleep. She was really starting to hate that monitor.

I'm fine, Bones.

Bullshit

Simple, to the point. He knew she wasn't.

Watch your language, Doctor.

He was, after all, talking to a lady. And not a deflector. She would never deflect.

Only language I learnt off of you.

PFFFT.

Selective memory.

Winona Kirk did not raise her with that mouth.

For the sake of my freedom, I'm going to let you have that one.

Just to be clear: you're lifting the confinement to my quarters?

Date: 2009-09-23 07:48 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] hesdead-jim.livejournal.com
I am, under three conditions.

Date: 2009-09-23 07:52 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kirk-it.livejournal.com
What are they?

1- No taking off the monitor.

2- you think about the mind meld.

3- You don't pull your goddamn face when you have something to eat with me when my shift is done.

One and two are good to go, and I can't pull my face off but I'll do my best to comply with three.

That'll do.
