Log:

"Good morning!"

Lydia's cheery voice greets Uhura once the door is opened. Her hair is braided back and she's in yoga pants and a tank top, her mat rolled up and slung over her shoulder by a strap.

"Thanks for having me over. You did say you knew basics, right?"

Somebody's certainly a morning person. It's a good thing Uhura's used to getting up almost before dawn sometimes, so she greets Lydia with a smile as she cracks the door open.

"Morning," she replies, standing aside to let Lydia in. Uhura's dressed likewise, a tank top and leggings, hair tied up in her usual ponytail. Behind her is the living room where the couch has been pushed back to the wall and a cheery yellow mat is lying on the middle of the room. "I did. Lotus, Downward dog, and most of the forward bends. I could use a refresher course on the rest, though."

"The Sun Salutation is super easy and it's actually a great warm up." chirps Lydia. Honestly, if she hasn't spent the night before partying? She's totally happy as a morning person.

She moves to spread out her own mat. "So hey, guess who I met over the network just the other day." she offers with a grin.

There have been only a few times Uhura has stayed out all night partying. Actually, the last time she did that, a certain captain of hers got thoroughly beat in a good old country town bar fight. So long ago, yes. These days, she prefers to turn in early to get a fresh start on monitoring her fleet of city cameras.

The door's locked and Uhura walks over to stand next to Lydia, the palms of her hands casually placed at the base of her back. "Who?"

She could guess any number of people and be wrong. Or be right. The network is a very busy mode of communication, one Uhura also keeps an eye on.

[lefthandedgenius]

"James Kirk. Captain James Kirk." Lydia makes the emphasis in clear imitation of Jim, her grin impish. "Pretty good looking. Wanted to come to my rescue, but I didn't need saving. I think he was a little bit embarrassed when he realized."

She rolls her neck a little, and then her shoulders.

She knew it. She saw that conversation, but far be it from Uhura to let her hand go like that. Not that she has anything about Lydia talking to Jim; it's the whole 'Yes, I am always watching and listening to your conversations' thing that never really seems to go over well with some people.

"That sounds like him, all right. He'll rescue anybody in need." And especially anybody in a skirt, but that's kept quiet. "I hope you didn't break his ego too bad."

[lefthandedgenius]

"Oh, I'm sure he's fine." says Lydia with the casual air of a heart breaker. "He owes me a dance, though. Said he'd make it up to me at some party he plans to throw. You're surrounded by all this ridiculous hotness, Uhura. I'm so envious." She's teasing, of course. "So, Sun Salutation; ready to start?"

[phonetical]

"Oh, god, stop." Uhura grimaces because aside from Spock, she doesn't even think of any of the crew like that. It's like admitting your brother is hot. You just don't do that. Okay, maybe she did think Kirk was cute, but that was a very long time ago and before he even opened his mouth to her. "You wouldn't think they were that hot if you saw their day to day antics."

Without another word on the boys, Uhura gets into the first position, standing in the middle of her mat, feet together and shoulders back. "As ready as ever."

the look of disgust on that icon Uhura-face is so perfect

[lefthandedgenius]

"What, guys acting like guys? Say it ain't so." Lydia laughs. "Okay, let's start..."

The sun salutation begins with them both standing straight, bringing their arms up over their heads until palms touch, and then bringing their hands down into the namaste position.

i bet it's a permanent look for her on the ship

[phonetical]

"No, guys acting like little boys in the backseat of the car, only in space." The things she has seen go on in the galley... the horrors.

Uhura's a step behind Lydia in pulling the poses, only because she watches Lydia perform them first and then parrots them perfectly. Simple enough so far.
