Fortunately, I am also trained in combat.
[His dark eyes flicker down toward the extended hand. This is a situation he's encountered many times on Earth, and his response is precise and well-practiced.]
My apologies, but my species generally avoids skin-to-skin contact except under specific circumstances. [In the interest of being somewhat transparent after their previous conversation, he adds:] It partly stems from the fact that many of my race possess an ability akin to touch telepathy.
Regardless, my name is Spock. [He raises his hand, palm forward and thumb extended, with his fingers parted between his middle and ring finger.] Live long and prosper, Mr. Clark.
