( if you'd have taken a bet as to which starfleet officer ended up in the brig first you wouldn't have come out with this one. the fact that she's now back in the brig-- she's starting to really hate superstition )

Anyone that's allowed on deck want to tell me which direction the ship's pointing? Or what you see up there?
I'll even trade a story, something from your home for one of mine.

( she'd even take a story about the things that people have seen here but she's info seeking, find out where people are from, maybe when... she can't help the pirates but she can still be busy.

you could also potentially assume that she's a little bored )

( drink up is exactly what una does, drinking some of the soup, and god, it's the best meal she's had on this boat. not only a good doctor but a good cook.

lowering her cup she nods )

I have a good immune system.

( it's carefully said, not wanting to draw more attention to it. she'd revealed it all to kirk but doing it again-- )

Remarkable,

( McCoy muses, slowly working his thumb between the pith and the fruit itself, pulling away the peel in one complete section. )

I'm glad to hear it, especially in a place like this. You were current with all your vaccines at home?

( It isn't right to call what he feels "suspicion". It would be wrong to say he isn't relieved to find her well– he is, deeply so. Her turnaround is fast, faster than expected. In any case, he decides abruptly to be grateful, and leaves it at that. )

( she nods though it's a lie. what vaccinations? )

It was just a fever.

( one that absolutely would have killed her in the cage where she lacked an immune system )

And your care was excellent.

( He's quick to point out: )

Fevers can kill people in a place like this. You did all the heavy lifting, Commander.

( if only he really knew )

I did appreciate the oranges. And the soup.

( Leonard manages a brief smile. )

That's what I'm here for. If you need anything else, you just let me know.
