[ Having to explain idioms to another individual, who genuinely does not grasp the meaning, has been enlightening for Spock. It has gvien her an insight into both her perception of humanity and Terran culture. Many of the things Terrans find so familiar are truly not, although once Spock explains the phrases, Poe often provides an expression of similar meaning in Yaval.
These lessons have been a highlight to teaching. Spock cannot say she enjoys teaching, though there is a certain amount of satisfaction gained from performing admirably at her duties. The individual tutoring and lessons, discussions with students, and watching them develop in private are what she does find worthwhile, and that keeps the restlessness at bay. ]
They do create something of a mess, however.
[ Spock has to avert her eyes when Poe licks his fingers. It is not intentional, his actions, as few individuals outside of Vulcans know the intimacy associated with hands, but it still makes her vaguely discomforted. Which is illogical and Spock squashes that down as quickly as she can.
She locates a napkin to dust off her fingers. ]
I would be amenable to that, though many ingredients that Vulcan foods require are not easily replicated or found here.
