I’ve never really thought about this scene until now. Spock, who is the number one person in Starfleet when it comes to following the rules, who just before this scene did the proper thing and told their superiors the truth about Kirk violating the Prime Directive, thus technically betraying Kirk’s confidence, just can’t get Kirk’s new rank right. That doesn’t seem in character, until you realize that Kirk will always be Spock’s captain, no matter what Starfleet says.
It’s like Spock didn’t think Starfleet would go so far as to demote Kirk and is shocked that they won’t be serving on the same ship anymore. Remember how off-kilter Spock is when he meets his new captain and how self-searching he looks as Kirk walks away? He doesn’t even call Kirk a friend, yet he is already used to Kirk by his side and can’t imagine Kirk not being by his side.
An added layer to it:
He didn’t know he was betraying Kirk. Spock’s compulsion to follow the rules is such that it didn’t even occur to him that Jim would conceal the truth in the report at all.
Spock fully believed Jim’s report would mention the breaking of the Prime Directive, and made his own report to counter it, and thus to take the blame away from Kirk and onto himself. Taking responsibility for the ultimate result of him being saved from the volcano, even though it was Kirk’s choice to do it.The moment he realizes it backfired and that his report has betrayed the truth of things and put Jim in jeopardy, Spock immediately starts antagonizing Pike and attempting to shift the situation onto himself/get himself punished instead, in a display of attitude so outside of his usual behavior that Pike kicks him out of the room. That too was a desperate last minute attempt to protect Jim.
It got better.
