Jim's face pinched in for a moment and he dropped his hand as his hand lifted. "I don't-- You don't need to apologize to me, Spock." It was just strange to see the other man's impassive face and still feel the often tumultuous emotions going on beneath the arching brow line.

Jim did the best he could to stay calm himself, unsure if they were feeding off of each other and what such a loop could do. Keeping himself calm, however, use to be so easy. Juggling the press of Spock's sporadic surface thoughts left him confused at best.

Another meld did seem the most logical-- Damn it. Kirk's eyes closed. "Yeah-- Okay. Um... Where should..." Standing up might not be the best way to deal with this so he gestured to his bed where they could sit together.
