[ sulu's fresh out of the shower, hair sticking up in damp spikes. he's not wearing his command gold, just the black undershirt and pants, sitting by his locker. he holds up a toy car, a quiet smile on his face, amused and a little wistful. ]

You know, these are antiques. Or they were antiques, where I'm from.

[ nostalgia. sulu hesitates a little, flipping the car in his fingers. ]

Of all the things for me to get, it's these. You'd think I'd get...

[ there's a pause, like sulu's thinking better of what he was going to say. then he shrugs a little. ]

Just a weird souvernir, I think.

Not working all day. Work can be fun but fun is not equal to work.

[:V!!]

What is your definition of fun?

[leaps]

Flying. But there's not really enough fuel on board for joy riding.

[ OR SO CAROLYN CLAIMS ]

[executiveassistant]

[She ponders that one thoughtfully for a moment before grimacing slightly.]

Hm, I can't help you with that one. [and she's not really surprised by that answer when she thinks about it]

It might be time to start checking into another hobby.

[leaps]

Do you have hobby suggestions?

[executiveassistant]

[...hmm.]

Admittedly my list of hobbies has been cut down substantially by our location as well, unless you're interested in yoga.

I'll have to think about it--you should too though. All work and no play and all of that jazz.

[leaps]

I could try yoga.

[executiveassistant]

Really.

[Despite the slightly disbelieving tone, she's absolutely delighted.]

Then you're more open-minded than most I bring the idea to.

[leaps]

I try to stay flexible. I do a lot of acrobatics.

[ donna you don't even know with sulu, okay. ]

[executiveassistant]

[She's so pleased okay. This is just. So entertaining.]

I'm certainly not judging; I was the one to bring it up in the first place.

...Yoga then. You are aware that I will make this actually happen, I hope.

[she wants to see sulu do yoga]

[leaps]

I'm aware.

[ it will happen donna js ]

I'm counting on it, in fact.

[executiveassistant]

[A pleased little hum and she nods.]

I'll let you know then--

And for now I'll let you go to play with your Hot Wheels.

[A wave that's really no more than a flick of her fingers, and she disconnects.]
