Spock knows that it is illogical to engage her in a subject that he will not be able to further elaborate on, but part of him is desperate to share something of his own universe. He never showed this Jim or Spock the hologram message, mainly because they had both been a little uncomfortable discussing the details of their alternate universe counterparts, and partly because he did not want to influence them any more than was absolutely necessary. He had probably already interfered more than he ought have.T'Androma, though, would see it all with childish innocence and delight. She would see the loved one of someone she loved, and she would love Jim too. He pulls the small medallion out from his robes and activates it, the light from the hologram spilling out into the dusky air.Jim’s image forms in the air and as he begins his message Spock feels his heart clench in his side, as always. He knows it off by heart and recites it in his head along with his bondmate. T'Androma watches, eyes wide in wonder. She reaches out a hand to ghost along the edge of the image, as if she were trying to stroke his face. To make contact with him. When the message ends and Jim’s face freezes in a wide smile, T'Androma looks up at Spock with her lightning-storm-blue eyes, inherited from this universe’s Jim, and declares “He is lovely.”“Lovely?”She nods in absolute certainty, “Yeah. I like him.”Her name echoes through the air; her father’s voice from inside the house. She jumps to her feet, touches her fingers briefly to Spock’s in a goodnight kiss, then trots back through the garden.Spock watches her until she disappears through the door, then turns his gaze up to the stars.Did you hear that, Jim? She thinks you are lovely…I am inclined to agree with her.
