"You didn't do any research before moving all the way out to Earth, huh?" Jim steps around the end of his bed and settles in on the side of it where he can still be facing Spock while they chat. He grins up at the other with those bright blue eyes shining in amusement.

Genuine, this time. There's no need to pretend to be friendly and cheerful with this guy. Like the doctor from orientation, Jim doesn't even realize he's being more open with Spock than he does literally anyone else. Including his own brother.

"Well, you're the first Vulcan I've ever had the pleasure to meet so. We can be new at this whole 'other species' thing together. Anything I should know about so far as what not to do around you?" Jim likes to gesture while he talks. Where Spock is stiff and still, Jim is abundant in energy. Emotion in his speech. How bright he smiles.
