Warm? [She frowns lightly at him, just a little quirk of her eyebrows, and makes a moue with her mouth that signifies disagreement.] No, not warm. It's supposed to release endorphins, though, which light up the pleasure center of the brain. Plus it's sweet, and I'm sure you're aware how much we like sweet foods.
[Lenore is more of a savory snack person than a sweet snack person, but that's not really relevant. (She's reminded of a study she read that found that people who prefer salty foods over sweet foods are often viewed less favorably; 'bitchy' was one word used to describe the group by one of the participants, and oh, isn't that on the nose.)
She taps the edge of her fingernail against the table, continuing to frown slightly.] Most people would say we don't get along, either. Is my mind small and narrow?
[She finds she really is regretful that she never got to meet Amanda Grayson, although she did indulge herself in a little light reading about the woman a few months ago, when she had an evening free and curiosity struck. It's hard to judge a person's character from a dry summation of their accomplishments, but yes, she thinks they would have gotten along.
Spock's next comment just solidifies that idle notion.] So when you profess ignorance over some little turn of phrase I use, you're just being supercilious jackass? [The smile on her face, amused and vindicated in equal measure, should take the sting out of her accusation, but who knows how Spock will take it.]
