002: Someone to Lean On [Location: The Sanctuary]
Spock was not human. He was not - for the most part - subject to the emotional stresses and strains that humans experienced every day. Unlike many Vulcans, however, he was aware of, and perhaps even sympathetic towards, the internal turmoils experienced by humans. (He was, after all, taking constant measures to avoid them himself.)
For that reason, he abandoned his makeshift laboratory as soon as the opportunity presented itself, making his way to the Sanctuary at a pace that did not fully betray the urgency he felt.
For once, the opportunity to leave had not been dictated by his experiments, but by the need of someone close to him. He could not begin to understand how Gaila's arrival had affected Nyota, and therefore did not attempt to. They had been close friends during their time as cadets, and that information alone was enough to alert him to how much the Orion's death must have affected Lieutenant Uhura. The urgency of Nero's attack on Vulcan, and the events that had followed it, had prevented her from mourning properly. Gaila's appearance in Taxon could be considered both a positive turn of events and an unpleasant complication. Only a discussion with Nyota would reveal which option to select.
He entered the Sanctuary swiftly, though not so swiftly that he appeared overly concerned. Nyota was a strong woman - that was one of the reasons why he had found himself drawn to her, against all logic and all reason - and she would not wish for pity. If she required assistance, comfort or simple conversation, she would receive it. If not, Spock would settle for knowing that she was aware of his presence and the steps he would take to support her whenever necessary.
OOC: Closed to Uhura and backdated to an unspecified time shortly after Gaila's arrival.
