Angelica, I haven't thanked you for what you did for me last week. [Read: SAVE HIM FROM ZOMBIE DEATH] So here you go. Thank you and I'm sorry I didn't say it sooner.

Howie, I didn't know you could do that. [Read: STOLE MOTORCYCLES]

On another note, I may never eat clams again.

[Filtered to his friends - Enterprise crew, Tim, Cissie, Inara, even you Donny and Prentiss, if you've ever had a decent conversation with Kirk, he probably considers you a friend.]

Doing alright?

[Private to Shego]

Let's go for a walk.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but it seems less likely, that's all.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I feel like it's more inspiring of a story as opposed to a cop deciding to go rogue.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Undoubtedly so. And I'm certainly not one of those - it just happens that policemen tend to know all the tricks of the trade.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

That's an unfair advantage.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Just a little bit, I know. Not that I make a habit of taking advantage of it. Unless, say, we needed to get somewhere fast in the face of several zombies.

I'm never going to let you forget it or live it down you know.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

...That's alright. I know I was doing it for the right reasons.

[Private]

Tell you a secret, actually. I've done it before.

You're shitting me.

Re: Private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

No. Although, that time, I was 'borrowing for the use of the civil authority' and not exactly stealing.

Your morally gray compass really amazes me sometimes, you know that.

Re: Private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I was going to return it and doing it towards a moral end - that is preventing a much more serious crime. In the circumstances, I did not consider it immoral, especially as I left it exactly where I found it an hour later.

Private - now he's just debating for debate's sake

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

But you still stole it.

Private - like howie minds.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Aye, I did, but I knew I was doing it for the right reasons, and that if I didn't do it, someone may have died. I could have justified it to a magistrate, if I'd ever been called upon to do so.

Did you ever try to apologize to the owner?

Re: Private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I actually left him a note, both apologising and explaining why I took it.
