[ Spock is wearing a hat that he's likely been seen wearing around on either ship. It's a tricorn with shells affixed to it that seems very much in opposition to the way he otherwise carries himself. He's found that wearing the gifted hat is preferable to the commentary he's gotten about his ears when he goes without it. ]

Is anyone here aware of races or humanoid beings from this world with pointed ears? I seem to cause one particular crew member to have a very negative reaction to my appearance.

[ He pauses, as if he's just remembered he's wearing a completely ridiculous hat, and ducks his head to remove it. ]

I am confident that I can handle the man should he decide to attack me, but he did make what I believe to be an inebriated threat to my person, so I would recommend that anyone else take care if they have similar features to my own.

My understanding is that marriage and love can be a... complicated concept for many races. My own people value logic in our decision making, however humans have a saying, The heart wants what the heart wants.

[ Though Spock does understand some measure of love, of course. His heart still aches for the loss of his sister and though it does not control his decisions he does not expect a lack of that feeling any time soon. ]

[Oh you poor little soul]

Arranged marriages, darling. I was roped into one. I wouldn't know love if it bit me--though the fox spirit nearly did.

[Whatever secluded monastery this one's from must be dreadfully boring.]

Regardless, the rest of the crew here's been quite friendly. All they need is a little charm. [Through force of personality, or force of magic. He's been perfectly willing to use either.]

Charm may not be one of my strengths. I will leave the charming to others and continue to do my best to serve the ship and its continued safety. If I am not well-liked, it is of little consequence to me.

[ At least where the sailors are concerned, Spock would not trust them any more if they seemed to like him, anyway. ]
