"Does Peter wish baked or mashed potatoes?"
 
Amanda nodded.
 
"Baked."
 
"And what does Saavik wish?"

Sarek shook his head.
 
"But surely if he was doing her homework, Saavik was sitting right next to him, at the desk."
 
Amanda shook her head.
 
"She wasn't next to him--she was--beneath the desk. At least that's what I surmised from the noises."
 
Sarek's raised eyebrow nearly cracked his forehead.
 
"Then am I to take it she has also developed a fondness for sauerkraut?"
