[ Spock would never presume to read emotions if someone were to brush against her accidentally, or even if they were to deliberately press against her and project. But bleed through happens, and admittedly, Spock's shields are rarely as perfect as she would like them to be, especially after the destruction of Vulcan. So she can feel Leonard's amusement and reverence and the sheer depth of his emotions. It never fails to surprise her, just how much he can feel. Spock knows how deeply Vulcans fee— experiences it daily, and encountered it in other Vulcans both before and after the destruction of her planet— but to experience it in humans is rare for her.
Besides, Leonard is her soulmate and reading his emotions, especially when he is touching her and not even attempting to mask his feelings, is part of that bond. It is not second-nature for her (dealing with emotions, especially human emotions, never will be) but she is getting used to picking up a few impressions from him. When— if— they fully bond in the Vulcan manner, there will be much more than those impressions. ]
Have you ever seen these prints in person? [ She asks only because she is curious about the subject now, even if pornography is not necessarily something she finds artistically valuable. But if it was an entire subset of ancient Japanese artwork, then there clearly must be an outstanding artistic value. ]
I doubt you will find it appealing, Leonard. Besides, most of it remains untranslated.
