Toppler shook his head quickly and decided to follow T'Sai, "Wait!" he said, grabbing her arm softly, "please"

Zoe pointed at Jekcor and V'Uarr. "Those are my parent's bodies. I'm Zoe. And my Daddy is in Miss T'Sai's body. And you," she continued, looking at Jekcor, "I'm not listening to you. You're not my anii. I'm going down to that planet and I'm gonna help my parents. Are we clear?"

"Then you'll have to train as an officer, or be a part of a fieldtrip class. As we don't have your father or mother's permission. Shoo." says the snarky Jekcor. No little child is going to be talking to her so... rudely. Someone should really teach this creature manners for her elders. "I'm sure the Captain would say NO to any more children down on the surface."

His grip was weaker than she was used to. T'Sai lowered her head, "Yes, okay." She turned back to the two of them, giving a soft shrug. "Stone thinks highly of himself, yes? So try to see in yourself what others see. Perhaps that is 'your ticket.'"

Toppler furrowed his brows, "An asshole?" he asked, seriously.

"If T'Sai had a thing for assholes, she'd have a thing for me. Clearly, she despises me. Therefore, you're not an asshole. Besides, you'd've popped right out with that statement."

"How do others see me then?" Toppler asked. He was lost.

"Unique, clever, intelligent." T'Sai shrugged with her hands, arms wrapped in each other. She was looking at Eric's body rather than talking to who he occupied. It was the only time Ryne didn't have her scowling at him.

"But I'm..." he paused, trying to put it into words, his discomfort, his failings, his wrongness, "I'm a mess up! I'm a failed experiment,"

"And you're one in the entire galaxy!" T'Sai snapped, turning to him. "How can't you see that? That there isn't another person like you. And whether or not you choose to notice, some of us appreciate your qualities." Oh, if she could kick herself... And the Tuv'nii was watching. T'Sai glanced from Ryne to Eric. Her control was slipping. "I cannot tolerate your self-hatred at present." She went to back away, just let her leave.

"Please don't go," Toppler said pathetically, "I can try, it's just," he bit his lip, and smoothed the uniform, "I thought my body was not something that you would like very much," it's so different than a vulcan's natural elegance. I'm big and out of shape and it's all around terrible at functioning, "What did you see that made you switch back?"

T'Sai took a breath, feeling as if her weakness was showing everywhere. She rubbed her arm with her back to Ryne. "I saw myself first. I was... surprised at the emotions associated. And then, I saw you." She glanced to him, really hoping he would get back in his body soon, she didn't care all that much for staring at Zeke. "And felt those emotions. I... related, I suppose."

"I..." he was again at a loss for words, he stepped closer to T'Sai and whispered so Ryne couldn't hear, "It's that I didn't think you found me attractive, desirable, you know..." he didn't know how else to explain it.

Her heart skipped once or twice when he moved closer, a green blush that could barely be detected in her dark skin. "Yes, I know." T'Sai looked at Eric with dark eyes, reflecting a face that wasn't his. She put a hand on his shoulder, "Perhaps now you see you are worth more than you think."

"Am I worth it to you?" he asked softly, just barely above a whisper.
