[ Spock does see it as a compromise. He also nearly argues it and would do so on a good day, but... this isn't a particularly good day. He feels pretty rough and the thought of moving from this biobed, even to the sanctuary of his quarters, sounds like an annoyingly arduous journey.
So, after about half a beat of staring, his shoulders relax as his relents. ]
Very well. While I do consider the overnight stay unnecessary, I will accept those terms.
[ Right, because he's totally fit as a fiddle. He just chooses to not argue with it. Yep. ]
All the same, you need not lose rest on my account, Doctor.
Oh, knock that crap, you big Vulcan drama queen. You couldn't even stand on your own two feet right now if you tried, let alone walk back to your quarters.
[ He has made sure of that, with that concoction of medication that's sure to knock Spock out sooner rather than later. ]
And don't worry, I ain't losin' any of my rest just for your sake. I do have other patients, you know.
[ So you see, if he loses any sleep, it won't be because of Spock. Don't flatter yourself, buddy!! ]
[ Wow, WOW, sabotage now, McCoy? Wow wow wow. Not that Spock is really putting two and two together much, especially not enough to get faux-offended about being medicated while ill. ]
Of course, Doctor.
[ Said drier than a martini. ]
I will endeavor to not keep you any longer, then. Perhaps if I am momentarily forgotten in favor of more critical patients than I, you will realize that my staying for longer than necessary is illogical at best.
[ Is he surly because of the brush off or because he can't go home?
... It's the second one. A little of the first, though! ]
[ Leonard shoots Spock a flat stare, lips pressed to a thin line. ]
Fat chance that I'll just forget about you, Spock. But if you do recover more quickly, we will reassess your situation. Despite what you might think, I don't like keeping you here for any longer than I have to.
