[TUVOKTOBER: Day 12] Casual telepathic conversation. There are some things you can't discuss with non-Vulcans.
No text!
The lady Tuvok's talking to is a canon, unnamed background character:
She's ex-Maquis and appears in like two scenes where she doesn't speak.
#Tuvoktober#non-text version beneath the cut#st voyager#bea art tag#st voyager fanart#Tuvok as a teen: I'm gonna rebel!!! Fuck society!!! Raaagh I'll DIE for love!!!#Tuvok Now: -tsk-....that's gonna bring down the property value.#Tuvok dresses in pretty bright and varied colors so I'm just making it a canon facet of him...like maybe where he grew up that was the#fashion (*he wears bright and varied colors when off-duty)#<- reds and purples and blues...not black and gray#but Spock liked blacks and grays soooo#youthtor-ri fai-tor etek = 'youth does not know us' <- Vulcan phrase I made up#'x doesn't know us' is a rough translation and it means...uh...like shrugging your arms aggressively.#Basically Tuvok is expressing 'but young people don't care'#also 'As ShiKahr says Vulcan does' is another made up phrase often used by Vulcans to complain about what's popular even and especially if#it did not originate from ShiKahr. <3#Also 'uzh khaf' means 'new blood' and it had some historic meaning a long time ago but almost every modern day Vulcan just uses it to mean#a sort of mild insult like 'hipster'
