Check... mate.
Spock walked down the corridor with Jim. The experiment had seemed to work and already his mate looked fatigued around the edge of his normally bright eyes.
But they had agreed to visit the alternate Pike and his Spock - more than that, Spock had accepted his young counterpart's request to speak with them, to test the waters of their patience and their temper.
It was illogical, but at the moment, it would be much more gratifying to tuck his mate into their bed and bring him his requirements.
This train of thought explained the unusually severe non-expression on his face when they reached the guards outside of the room occupied by the mirrors, as crew gossip had taken to calling them. He looked over at Jim.
