Maybe it's just some deeply buried dirty secret that they don't want anyone to know about. [ But then Spock mentions poetry, and it gets Jim's attention. ]

If there aren't comedians, are there poets?

[ That compliment has Jim halting briefly before he reaches for his glass to take another drink. The smile that comes to his face is warm, and crinkles the corners of this eyes. ] You flatter me. She wouldn't say it was wasted, and neither do I. A meal shared with friends or family is never wasted.

[ He sets the drink away after a moment, and cuts up some fruit. ] That's a very compelling argument in our favor. I'll put it forward for review when we get to Yorktown, but it won't be for a few months.

I'm sure Commodore Paris will be amused by the idea.

We are not uncultured, Jim. [ If most of their poetry is somber and dignified, then it is simply because they are a somber people. Especially now. ] Simply not comedic. Though you are welcome to try to find such a secret, if possible.

[ If Jim wants to look, he is not one to stop his captain. There are other Vulcans who might do that, and Spock almost finds the idea of Jim trying to charm another Vulcan entertaining.

Not that he would admit such to anyone. Especially not Jim. ] Incorrect, Jim. I do not flatter anyone, I simply state the truth. [ He was not one to say that which was not true, especially in a situation like this. Spock might be better at obfuscating the truth in certain circumstances, but never with those he considered a friend. ]

Perhaps, but is not amusement a benefit in this situation?
