An actual paper book. Not quite as rare in Hunter's time as it is in Jim's, but still a treasure nonetheless. The moving stars catch his attention immediately, and he watches in fascination as they drift across the cover only to reappear on the other side, like watching the night sky wheeling overhead.

Jim has kept a captain's log, during his time in command of the Enterprise, but it's something that's audio only, spoken aloud, and subject to review by Starfleet at their leisure. He runs his hand over the cover, flipping it open to see the blank pages inside, just waiting to be written.

"That's... really cool." He honestly doesn't know what to say. "I'd bet you helped with that, right? Thank you."

"I did."

"It has an extension charm on the pages, so you can write for years without running out of paper. It also has several protection charms, so it can not be destroyed by any physical and magical means. And if you ever have to leave it behind... you just have to think about the journal, and it will reappear at your side."

[boldygoing]

Years? He'd thought it was impressive before, but that's... above and beyond anything he would've expected from a present like this. And being able to summon it at will? "I'd ask you how that works, but I'm pretty sure the answer is 'magic.'"

"Actually... my gift to you is this..." Hermione places a binder onto the table, which has a little red bow on it. Inside is a detailed report about the science, behind the magic, which made the gift possible.

[boldygoing]

She knows him so well already. Jim takes the binder and pages through it, just enough to get the gist of what he's looking at. It's damn near as comprehensive as the kind of report he'd get on the ship. "You compiled all this yourself?"

[mudblood_andproud]

"Yes. I found some wonderful research material in the Grand Library, so that I could compile the facts and figures into a more translatable manner."

[boldygoing]

"Hermione, this is... fantastic. Thank you." The amount of work she's put into this to appease his scientific curiosity is above and beyond what he ever would've asked for, and he's eager to spend a few hours reading it thoroughly to absorb it all. More research to pour into the fount of knowledge in his head, never knowing what might come in handy someday.

"I was more than happy to do it." It was a project! Hermione enjoys having a bunch of little projects to work on.
