Spock, meanwhile, thankfully does not notice the clear disdain the other Kirk has for him. However, this is because he is listening to his fellow cadet's explanation of the phrase he had used.
The understanding slots into place neatly in his head; he nods slightly in confirmation.
"Thank you for your clarification. As a majority of my interactions with non-Vulcans have been of a diplomatic nature, such colloquialisms are rarely used and I am unfamiliar with them. I am attempting to acclimate myself to Terran speech patterns as Vulcan manners of communication are, as a whole, very literal."
A beat passes as he considers.
"You are correct that we are 'stuck together.' However, I too have a neutral opinion at current as we have just met."
This is the point at which the other Kirk takes his leave, but Spock also does not pay him much mind. He is far more interested in the man before him.
