A/N: Another exercise in dialogue

"Hold still!"

"Doctor, a bit more alacrity, please! These thorn remnants are highly irritating, almost as much as you."

"Ah, kwityerbitchin, Spock!"

"Ow! That was another hair!"

"Don't worry. There's plenty left."

"Not for much longer at your rate, Doctor."

"Well, if you would quit squirming, Spock, I'd have more success. Now hold still!"

"You'd squirm, too, Doctor, if you had second degree burns on your back."

"Hey, you're the one who insisted that I treat these thorn pricks. Just remember why you got them."

"Yes, I got them because I was clumsy and didn't get myself out of the way."

"No, the real reason. You got them while saving Jim's life, all in the line of duty. Losing him would have hurt a helluva lot more than just a burn or a couple of thorn pricks."

"You're right, Doctor."

"What? Come again?"

"I said, you're right. Proceed, Doctor. All in the line of duty."
