[ It would be a lie to say that change is easy for Spock, or for any Vulcan, especially after the loss of their planet. But Spock had recently been in a relationship so the transition is not as odd, even though Leonard is completely different from Nyota.
Their outings are pleasant, even if Leonard does grumble at nearly everything. Spock has long since learned that his grumbling is just a general personality trait and when she digs beneath the surface, he is caring and charming and sharp. Spock knew he was intelligent - he had to be, to be a medical doctor and in Starfleet; it was not arrogance to say the crew of the Enterprise was the nest - but discovering that intelligence outside of dangerous missions and life-threatening situations has proven most enjoyable.
The slowness which he approaches their relationship is startling for her. For all the Vulcan reticence and reserve, once they have found their mate, there is little to stop them from progressing forward. Dating is not a concept among Vulcans, courtship non-existent. They move from a tentative bond to either a divorce or full bond. If they do bond, they are joined. She and Nyota had done some dating but never to such an extent as she and Leonard.
Spock finds it intriguing. It is perhaps a good thing that she has patience.
When Leonard pulls back, she has to take a moment to adjust, eyes blinking in the dim lights along the corridor. She had gotten lost in the kiss, enough to almost forget that they were in public still.
When the question registers, she frowns - a slight wrinkle appearing in her forehead. ] It is late, hardly an appropriate time to imbibe caffeine, Leonard.
