[ There is a secret is his clueless Vulcan routine, and it brings a certain satisfaction to him when people assume he is genuinely clueless. He grew up with a human mother, a linguist herself, and his curiosity knew no bounds.

Dark chocolate, hmm? He places it on the tip of tongue, letting the candy melt, rather than biting into it, and the flavor makes his eyes widen. It tastes similar to how it smells - dark and rich, with a surprisingly bitter note he had not been expecting, though it mellows after a moment. There is nothing he can recall ingesting that even begins to approach the flavor. ]
