The first look that Jim receives is - however brief - legitimately impressed by the performance. Spock expects Kirk to be good, but not quite so close to as good as he is. Which is, he realizes immediately, a terribly patronizing opinion to have. He discards it for the next time - he'll make a better selection. Jim Kirk is making good on his threat, the logical conclusion of what Spock is watching.

There is still a lingering of surprise in his voice when he says, "I'm aware that it is your right to ask questions to which you already know the answer. If only you exercised it less often. No, this does not come in three dimensions in this exact iteration. Not in the apparent century. I simply picked it up when I was searching for something else. I don't remember which was the fastest. It was a game that I played as a very young child. You're aware already, of course. My mother was a schoolteacher from Earth."

And, as if in admitting this he's somehow tired himself out from conversation, he goes quietly back to the remaining bits of the coffee machine.

"Bringing it was whim. I should have known better."
