To: T'Lan,
I know this is weird, but I'm back to life. Mind if I drop by to visit you? I might bring one of my sons if that's okay?

Lt. George Kirk, USS Enterprise (formerly Kelvin)

To: Jim kirktastic
Hey kiddo. What say we get together, tear up the town? Haven't seen you a lot recently. Go visit an old shipmate of mine?

Dad,

...You're not allowed to call me kiddo in front of this person. Who is it? Why would they wanna meet me?

Jim

Jim,

Fine, I won't call you that in front of T'Lan. She was the CEO back on the Kelvin. She met Sammy way back when but she never got a chance to meet you, I don't think. She's fun.

Dad,

T'Lan... She's a Vulcan? Look, if you want someone to keep you company to go see her I'll go, but... won't it just bring back shitty memories if I come?

Not exactly like anyone associates good things with my birth and the Kelvin.

Jim,

She is! It's more I want to show you off to an old crew mate. And I bet you'd enjoy hearing some dirt from when I was a young officer? If anyone has it, it'd be T'Lan. She was there right form the get-go on the old hulk.

Dad,

Alright, let's go. Where can I meet you?

Jim

[kirk_george]

Jim,

How about we meet in the crew quarters lobby? We'll grab breakfast and head out to meet her.

Dad.

Dad,

If you haven't eaten, you should do it now. I already ate.

Jim

Jim looked down at the PADD before he hit send, feeling the slightest bit of guilt. It was so damn early, he wouldn't miss part of the trial, and... well, eating just wasn't happening. Not now, when all this shit was going on. It was fine though, George didn't need to know.
