[ It isn't often that Spock is overwhelmed, for the Vulcan mind itself has many safeguards in place to prevent any such thing from happening. Now, however, it has become necessary for him to conjure those boundaries consciously, for if he doesn't his human emotions may succeed in sidelining his Vulcan practicality. He has agreed to a private, intimate dinner with his superior officer, one which is not predicated upon sheer proximity, work, or even friendliness.
This is a dinner which will celebrate their relationship and possibly deepen it, for while the Vulcan perspective on romance has its necessary limitations the view of lifelong bonds is robust and intrinsically understood.
Their conversation in the library made him fully aware of the simple fact that to remove James Kirk from his life will require entirely deadening a large part of himself. It also made him aware that should he remain, in any capacity, his affection for and dedication to the man will do nothing but grow. It was with this in mind that he agreed to the dinner at all, predicting that such an opportunity would arise given his captain's behavior as of late.
Any self-satisfaction with his own statistically-measured computations is short-lived, however, forcing himself smoothly to his feet after meticulously formulating his plan for the next few hours in his mind. He will shelter himself from Kirk's thoughts entirely and in doing so offer him some much-needed privacy as he makes his way to the boutique he'd admired on his morning walk, soul rebelling at the separation all the way. ]
