*Ragel-tor = a chance meeting; to be present at someone's arrival.

Her laughter still often took him by surprise, and this was no exception. The pleasure he took in it was as illogical as the act itself, but Spock had learned that, while his feelings for Nyota were based on solid rationality, they were also quite visceral.

"I am certain your abilities will be effective even among the most alien of crew members."

"I am sure the situation we find ourselves in will allow me to test that theory to its fullest extent," she said, her tone light and amused. Especially the bullshit detector, she thought, reminiscing over the few people she'd met.
