Spock had been, for the course of his entire life, shaped to and by other people's purposes. He could bend. But the death of Sarek had freed him from being tethered to any individual. He gave his loyalty only where he chose.
Pike had earned it many times over. The scar wrapping around his captain's right arm, that Spock aided him in tending, was a constant reminder.
"Why do you doubt my loyalty? I ask not in protest, of course, but simply in order to determine the most efficient route to assuaging your concern."
