Maybe it would simpler, but there is value in the way that you think too.

[Except for thoughts involving women being on par with ornaments and tools. Those thoughts can get right out.]

[Hey look, she's learning. Some years outside of Tokugawa era Japan will help you think outside the box.]

It's nice of you to say so, Mr Chekov. Perhaps I can put that to a good test one day.

[candothat]

There will be an opportunity.

May I ask when you are from? It's 2263 at home for me.

[Her eyebrows lift slightly at that.]

...you're from far ahead of many people here, I think. For me, I believe the year translates to 1783.

[candothat]

Eighteenth century? Between us, we average out to someone modern.

[Feeling out of place by virtue of coming from a different time is something he gets, although he's had years to adjust... and coming from the past seems like it would be more difficult than coming from the future.]

I hope that the ways that thinking has changed have been for the better, in your experience.

[therewerefifty]

Greatly so. [She hesitates, but Makie reminds herself she is trying not to be so withdrawn.]

I am allowed to have my own space here, and be myself. That's a... positive thing to realise.

[candothat]

Very positive.

[Pavel, habitually over-polite and fairly skilled at reading between the lines as he is, is getting the impression that Makie might not be comfortable asking for the space that she knows she's allowed to have. He takes a step back towards the exit.]

I should be going. I'm pleased to have actually met you, Miss Makie.

[therewerefifty]

Oh... [Actually, she doesn't mind. But talking with other people does get exhausting after a while, even if she's trying to do it more. So Makie smiles faintly.]

And you, Mr Chekov. I shall see you again, I'm sure. [He eats at the restaurant, it's inevitable.]

[candothat]

Yes, of course.

[He bows on his way out and yes, he'll definitely talk to Makie again. She's very nice, if sort of reserved and sad in a way that most people in the fleet are not. Clearly she needs another friend.]
