Some days, she misses life on Earth. She loves almost everything about Vulcan. The climate has never really bothered her. She's so fascinated with the culture's history that she spends hours a day reading and yet she still finds new information all the time.

But she misses laughter. Being around a people who continually suppress their emotions means that while she does not hear anyone in agony or despair, she no longer hears anyone expressing joy.

Yet when Sarek gets that glint in his eye and Spock's eyebrows rise just so, she takes comfort knowing that they laugh without sound.
