Looks at the water as if it may jump outta the glass and bite him.
"Mmm, no I don't think so." Reaches back for the bottle. "I've gotta a few days of leave up my...short sleeves," he's currently wearing a simple black t-shirt. "I'm fine. Just thought about finishing this -
He's casually sliding the bottle out of his friends reach, replacing it with a glass of water.
"I think you've had enough today, hm? Wanna tell me why you felt the need to drown yourself in booze?"
@STARSHlPCAPTAIN Giving the younger man an eye roll, he curled his fingers around the glass, downing half the water before leaning back in the chair.
A small snigger leaving his lips, his face giving away his amusement at the look Jim had on his own when he spoke about their first officer. -
@STARSHlPCAPTAIN Glancing from the water to his captain, he looked at the blue-eyed male as if to ask, ๐๐ ๐กโ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ข ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ค๐๐ก๐๐.แฃ
"What, you think I should take up orchid growing like your pointy eared elf? Or perhaps...ah fuck, what's it called -

He knew it was against protocol, but he did it anyway, lightly thwacking the back of the blonds head with an open hand.
"You get your ass down to medbay by the end of the day, or I'll set yer own first officer on you." Head dipping in Spock's direction.
His own smile vanished from his lips.
"What? Come on, Bones! Can't you just write that I am in perfect health? You know I don't have time for this stuff!" Not to mention that he hates being prodded and poked.
His smirk only grew, a fraction of tension easing in his shoulders with an accompanying chuckle.
"Yeah, well, if they wanted coddling, they shoulda stayed home. And you," His head swinging towards Jim. "You are due for your annual physical."
"Says the old grump."
An answering smirk. Ah, he loves the old grump.
"That explains why Scotty sounded so miserable yesterday. Well, I'm sure you have it all handled, with your gentle nature and all."
