"Christine and M'Benga know. My family knows. You know. That's it. You and the rest of the crew were meant to keep on, not worry about me. Focus on the work." Now he's liable to get a Vulcan dressing down when Jim inevitably tells Spock- because it's going to happen. He doesn't mind it, but keeping secrets isn't something the three of them do, not now that they've found their legs.
