_{[ Sometimes you have to live outside of work Chekov. There is a saying about it even - all work and no play makes for a very dull boy. Or something like that. And they do have food that is not gel! You just sometimes have to work for it and cook it. ]}

I want to go on an adventure. I can't do that without one of my crew, now can I?

[candothat]

[He does not! His life outside of work involves a lot of hangups that he still hasn't talked to Kirk about and he likes avoiding those, thank you. ...And wait, is he being called dull here? Rude.]

I would advise against it, generally. [He's locking down the shirt stand, clearly ready to follow Kirk. As dutiful as he may be, Pavel can't very well say no to adventure.] What adventure are you thinking of?

[universal_charm]

_{[ You chose to work at a shirt stand on a new planet Chekov. Let that sink in. ]}

Just something. They have those ATV like riders. I thought we might rent some and go see what we can see. It's not quite the same as exploring a virgin planet, but it'll work for the moment.

_{[ Just ignoring the fact they could run into marauders. Classic Kirk. ]}

[candothat]

[Look, he just wants to flesh out his resume, pad his bank account, and occupy his time with something that's different and relatively safe. And being a space genius hasn't given him a lot of opportunities to work on his customer service skills, you know?]

There are wilder asteroids than this one. Still not virgin [or wirgin, depending on your accent] planets, and I don't think that they have the ATVs to use, so maybe less exciting. Have you been to any caves?

[universal_charm]

_{[ You don't join Star Fleet to work on customer service! ]}

Now that you mention it, no. But then, the caves don't seem the place to go alone. I've learned my lesson. But - now I have you with me, don't I?

_{[ He grinned at Chekov, and there was a touch of the wolf in that smile. ]}

[candothat]

[You also don't join Starfleet to live in other universes where Starfleet doesn't exist for years at a time! Let him live his professional life the way he needs to, Dad!]

You do, and nothing bad has ever happened in situations where it was only the two of us.

[Nothing bad that was their fault.]

So... yes to caves?

[universal_charm]

_{[ No, Dad knows what's best! Spread your wings and soar, son! ]}

Well... not usually, anyways. Look, let's not jinx this, all right?

_{[ The only way to make it worse would be to wear red shirts. Don't do that Chekov. ]}

But yes, yes to caves. Let's pick up a few supplies and we can ride out. You want to drive your own or piggy-back with me?
