"Would Jim even consider taking one?" Vulcans do not chuckle, yet somehow Spock's expression seems to just a bit even though he is quiet as ever. He sits back to pull his gloves back on once the familiar has moved on to inspecting Jim's hand and snuffling at Tiber, who will immediately hop onto the familiar's back as though it's his own personal steed to settle down into a loaf while watching everyone gathered here carefully. Still purring loud enough to wake the dead, all the while.

Spock glances Felix's way.

"It is more difficult than you might imagine to convince James Kirk to take a day off. A vacation? That might prove more challenging still." If there's a way for Jim to get absorbed in his work to the neglect of all else, he will find it. Spock's seen decades of proof toward that with his own headstrong human.

This young Jim does not seem like he has deviated far from that trait.
