"May I ask you a question?" Data asked Worf one day on the bridge.
"You already have asked a question," Worf asserted, not looking up from his work. "But I permit you to ask another."
"Did you resolve your differences with K'Ehleyr before she left?"
Worf almost lost his temper with Data at being asked the question, but he remembered that he and K'Ehleyr had argued right in front of the android. Though Worf supposed he deserved the embarrassment of the exchange in at least a small amount. "Yes," he grumbled, "we did. For now."
"I am glad to hear it. I hope it was alright for me to ask."
It was not alright, but then Worf recalled Wesley arranging his rite-of-ascension anniversary celebration. If he didn't allow his crewmates to be supportive to his face, they would be supportive behind his back, and Worf preferred the former to being surprised by the latter.
"I appreciate your concern, Commander Data," Worf said at last.
