Keef: leaning against his locker, smiling, his voice low
“Vek, if you don’t look at me right now, I’m going to think you’re shy.”
Vek: turning his head, completely cold
“I don’t have that parameter.”
Keef: leaning closer, almost whispering
“So you’re experiencing a new one.”
Vek: blinks twice, pupils dilate… and accidentally drops his communicator

Vek (at his base, recording a log):
“Day 34. The human named Keef represents an uncalculated variable. Causing minor dysfunction in my system. Repetitive blinking. Elevated facial temperature. Emotional microleaks.“
Vek: “Possible solution: distance.“
“New mission assigned: proximity analysis under… internal surveillance.”
(Keef enters the base with a smile)
Vek: Stops the search and surreptitiously throws him a pillow.
“You're late.“
Keef: Taking the pillow, still smiling.
“I'm just in time to see you collapse.“
