Jim was more or less in the lead, but Spock flanked him to the point where they almost stepped forward together. It was pleasantly familiar but also a little astonishing, and it warmed him somewhat.
But he looked to Uhura as they crossed into what Jim could only assume should be termed their village and were confronted with the creatures themselves. They moved gracefully, the sheen on their skin immediately termed "slimy" by Jim's human instincts but rejected by his brain as being likely inaccurate.
Uhura had prepared a short greeting, which she offered at Jim's indication. He watched them for signs that they were understood, his instincts on high alert out of long practice rather than immediate signs of danger.
