.005 - Private to Prefect

[captain_jtkirk]

I know we broke up but let's have a drink anyway.

I promise I won't hit you. Or insult Sam.

... well, I won't hit you.

[Jim shrugs. He isn't going to admit that he's kind of lonely here and that on some level, he feel like he connects with Prefect. He also wants to do everything in his power to mess with Sam, but that probably won't go over well.]

"I thought you were banned from talking to me."

[He swirls the gin around in his glass, giving Prefect a challengingly look.]

"I like that you don't listen to him either."

[Prefect nods, smiling a little at that.]

Yeah, I'm pretty annoying. I think he's less bothered by it now that he's used to me, but I used to drive Sam completely insane.

[He's staring into space now, his voice is actually sort of impressed as he admits:]

He's put up with me for a long time without ever quitting.

[He's finding that he likes Prefect better now that he isn't in charge of him. When it's not his problem, when it's almost fun to encourage Prefect to not listen to authority, he doesn't care. He thinks it's because he's used to being the captain and people on his ship listen to him and when it comes down to it they do what he says, even if they don't like it.]

"Then I'll toast to Sam, for the man has more patience then I ever will which almost negates how much of a tool he is."

[Prefect doesn't reply this time. He just drinks along with Kirk, then grabs the bottle to top himself up. Then drinks some more, feeling the burn of the gin running down into him.]
