It kinda sounds like he got uprooted in much the same way Jim did, to be honest. Jim hopes the reason for it is less uncomfortable than his was, but probably not. Spock here doesn't seem like the kind of guy who Likes making decisions on a whim. Man probably has ever day of his school year planned out by the hour already.

"Oh! Yeah we definitely are." Jim points to himself all excited and then stops. Listens. Runs his tongue along his lower lip as he very quickly recalculates and guesses the odds of being believed if he lies through his teeth. "Uh."

He gives a little awkward laugh.

"Okay, sure. I'm gonna be honest. I am literally the most tactile person you will ever meet. Hell you've already seen me move when I talk, so. I will try really hard to keep that in mind. Be respectful of boundaries and all that, alright? If I ever forget and fuck it up, just move and tell me straight away. I won't take offense. Might be confused for a second but I won't be a dick about it."
