It'd be a wonderful opportunity to learn more about gem society through the eyes of their new generation.
(children and adolescents see a lot more than adults give them credit for. still, the prospect of educating bright, young minds again is appealing without their ulterior motives, however pure those may be. when spock's right, he's right.)
When I made the suggestion I had envisioned you teaching individuals comparable in age to Starfleet cadets. When you speak of a new generation, are you referring instead to children?
[ Not that it makes any considerable difference. In Spock's logical, objective, unbiased opinion, individuals of any age would benefit from his captain's tutelage. ]
They may not allow me to teach an older age group. We're Gembonded, temporary members of their society. A child's mind is easily influenced, but I imagine they'd sooner have me teaching them basics. It's harder to reeducate a young adult if something in their lessons goes awry.
This is all conjecture, of course. I haven't the faintest idea.
Perhaps an advanced learners course for adults more fully developed and less easily swayed by unknown outworlders.
[ Which, while a serious suggestion, has its own tiny hint of good-natured banter. Perhaps it's just difficult for him to listen to his captain downplaying any level of his skill or the faith that others should have in him. Perhaps. ]
ETA four minutes twenty-six seconds. I will be ready to engage in chess when you are able.
Noted and logged, Mr. Spock, and I've left all mention of your facetiousness out of it. Let's each of us work hard to get home before any serious indoctrination can occur.
(his smile could light up a room. the effect is provided by chrysos, the apothecan system's sun, who sheds its yellow warmth across the chess table he sits at in anticipation. it'll suit spock, who's had to tolerate their average living temperatures; kirk, who's always "blessed" with a hot summer day, will manage.
just for one day, let them experience no disturbance in their schedules. let them stay a little while longer—not as captain and commander, but as man and man—when the longing for his ship is dormant and his desire for a friend's company has reached its apogee.)

I'll take a look at any preexisting listings.
