I seem to be missing a dog.

He's black and white and has a great love for shoes and chasing sock balls.

[ooc; McCoy is actually finding the dog but all are free to have seen him and watch him EVADE CAPTURE because that's obviously what dogs do, the little shits.]

"It's not feeling helpless so much as being tired of backseat drivers." Which was mostly just Jesse right now, but still. It was frustrating. "I mean, I get it, she's a kid, people are gonna want to help her get out of here, but just seeing her as a kid isn't gonna help anything."

He was quiet for a beat. "But, thanks."

"Especially since she'll try and stab you for calling her a kid," Jim remarked, trying to make a joke out of it, even if it wasn't funny at all.

"We've kinda gotten over that hurdle," he said, managing something that maybe could have passed for a smile. "I think people just have a hard time realizing she's not here just because the Admiral's a dick. She's mostly a good kid, but she's really messed up."

[captain_jtkirk]

"So you have plenty of practice with people like that." Yeah, he was talking about himself and how much of a pain in the ass he was.

"You weren't knifing people at twelve," he said, that sort of smile getting a little more honest. "To the best of my knowledge."

"They wouldn't give me their lunch money, the little punks." That was a joke, Kirk hadn't knifed anybody in Iowa.

"Let's hope to god the media never finds out about that. Imagine the headlines."

Jim laughed a little, sipping at his bourbon lightly. "If you ever want to bitch about stuff, you know that I have a lot of alcohol."

"As long as it's not rum, I think I can manage that." Seriously, fuck being a pirate, let's never do that again.

But also thank you for not being a shitty friend.

[captain_jtkirk]

"I'll keep that in mind."

[imaythrowuponyou]

"Thanks."

He was quiet for a long moment, taking a sip of his bourbon and once again not really looking at Jim. "She really does kind of remind me of Jo sometimes."

[captain_jtkirk]

Jim made a small face at that, "That is an insult to Joanna."

[imaythrowuponyou]

"Not all the time, and not the stabbing people thing." Obviously. "But they both like to think they're way more mature then they actually are."

And he just misses her, so you know. The little things.

[captain_jtkirk]

"I dunno, your kid has a solid head on her shoulders."

[imaythrowuponyou]

"Yeah. Believe me, I'm definitely not complaining that they don't have more in common."
