Hux(34) I'm not interested in your bleeding hearts. If you're under the age of 25, click X. I enjoy people who are competent and actually know how to do their jobs, and do them well. Also, leather.

[They are both not the most affectionate people. Some things will always be awkward for them.]

I am sorry to hear about your mentor. The man I have always looked up to died a few years before I was born; but his writings and life have always helped me.

But yes; in my world there are people who can read minds as well, and I've had to learn to create mental walls to protect myself from such intrusion--but I have always made it a goal to read people both in face and voice, to determine their true intentions.

Your sympathy is unnecessary but appreciated. [ Though he doubted there was a deep amount of sympathy there. ] How did you encounter the works of the individual who you admire? Did his work provide assistance in understanding humans?

Isn't sympathy usually unnecessary? [Because yes, there wasn't much there for Spock. He usually does better with empathy, but only rarely.]

He is part of the old command structure that my father was involved in. The First Order created itself out of the ashes of the Empire. I was determined to learn all I could about them to ensure I didn't repeat their mistakes, and in the research I found the writings.

And yes, the writings did. He had a very clear head towards everything; he had faults as well, of course. I have sought not to repeat those.

Generally. [ Though he has come to understand just how important sympathy can be for those suffering grief. ]

One must learn from history and take caution to not repeat the mistakes of the past. My people remember our past and cleave to the tenets of the founder of current societal structure to ensure we do not fall into the same cycle.

[ Spock can easily tell time and how long has passed since any given incident. It has been, to his calculations, only five minutes since they took hands, but he decides that is enough, for the moment. So he untangles his hand and rises, nodding to Hux. ]

You have my appreciation for your assistance in help fulfilling my incentive, but I shall take my leave now. We shall continue this at another time.

[Hux likes the way that Spock's people work--perhaps in another life, he would have fit in with them well.

When Spock gets up, he quirks an eyebrow, but says nothing, instead giving a slight nod.]

You're welcome. I look forward to speaking to you, again.
