I *really* don't understand humans.

Yesterday I snarked at botanist_keiko for her immature and primitive hysterical jealousy of the blatantly-obvious-and-yet-they-won't-admit-it relationship between her husband smiley_miles and doctor_bashir.

So she asked me out to dinner.

Humans can still surprise me reasonably often. To an entity who's billions of years old and has seen and done it all, that's a very valuable trait.

I also have to confess that after being turned down by two starship captains and a thief (not that the thief wasn't doing me a big, big favor by getting out of my life when she did), I find it flattering to have humans throwing themselves at me, even if the objective is obviously just to make her husband jealous. (As for whether he has anything to be jealous *of*... well, a Q doesn't kiss and tell, but if I claimed I'd been a perfect gentleman would anyone actually believe me? :-))

But this human monogamy thing. Also this human desire to deny same-sex attraction. You people have *got* to get *over* it.

Why, whatever could make you think that?

To be *insinuating* something, I'd have to have something to insinuate, wouldn't I?

And you've so thoroughly assured the entire universe that there's nothing to be insinuated. Why, *everyone* believes you when you protest your mere friendship for doctorbashir.

Hmmph

So they should. We have a non-gay friendship in which no wistful yearning is involved. At all.

I am a happily married man.
I suspect that in the circumstances that may not work. Damn.

If you're so happily married...

...why is your wife exploring the wild flora of the Cretaceous Era with me?

Well, aside from the fact that you can't travel in time.

She's always been very keen on her flower thing, yes.
