Prompt: Sarek, Amanda, Spock - Vulcan version of a sports car
Practical
As they sped around the sharp curves of the road leading away from their home, Amanda surveyed the posh interior of their new ″family″ transport. It was fast, sleek, and shiny, and everything both on and in it was the top of line, or so she assumed, given the bill that her husband had so casually paid just that morning.
She leaned back in her – admittedly comfortable – seat and gazed out to the horizon for several minutes, simply enjoying the ride as Sarek put the transport through its paces. Though her husband continually pretended to be politely confused at her insistence on calling their trek a ″lazy-Sunday drive″ given that it was neither Sunday by earth's calendar nor lazy given the speeds at which he preferred to travel, it had taken little encouragement to convince him to leave his work behind and take the transport out for a spin.
Amanda turned to check on Spock, dozing quietly in his carrier in the back seat, assuring herself of his comfort in his new surroundings. The very small backseat, Amanda couldn't help but note, that she knew their son would rapidly outgrow within the next few years.
Turning to her husband, Amanda could not resist gently needling him about his choice of vehicle. ″This is an interesting selection of transport, my husband.″
Sarek raised his eyebrow. ″In what way do you find it interesting, my wife?″
″It seems a little... flashier than is strictly necessary for a vehicle that will primarily be used for our own personal, family use, given that the Science Academy and the Federation provide transportation for your work travels.″
Sarek raised the other brow, glancing at her briefly before returning his attention fully to the road ahead.
″Vulcans excel at the merging of the aesthetic with the practical. This transportation choice was both logical and pleasing.″
Amanda smiled. ″It is a good thing that we are on Vulcan and that I've already seen you naked, Sarek.″
Amanda saw Sarek's eyes dart to the rear view mirror to assure himself that their son remained asleep. ″And why is that, my wife?″
″Because on earth, a car like this is an indication that a man is compensating for something.″ Amanda grinned playfully at him and patted his thigh. ″Fortunately, I am in a good position to know otherwise″
″Indeed.″ Sarek took one of his hands off the transport's controls and rested it atop hers on his thigh. ″Earth customs are exceedingly illogical.″
