.076 - in which kirk isn't good at personal goodbyes :c

[captain_jtkirk]

I guess I was asleep for a month.

And now I'm leaving. Things changed and I don't even really understand it but it worked out that I can, so I'm taking it and no one should be at all surprised. And maybe start a prayer chain that I never have a reason to come back because three and a half years and three Inmates is enough.

So that's it. Goodbye, Barge.

Kirk was just awful at goodbyes period. So you're in good company there, Dick.

He went to answer the door, smiling a little when he saw that it was Dick on the other side, with his dog. He'd kind of assumed that's where Aristotle had ended up during his coma, since Bones was gone and Shego hadn't owned up to actually liking the animal which he knew that she totally did.

"Hey."

[Spam] oh good

"Hey." He grinned a little. "I figured you wouldn't want to leave without at least saying goodbye to someone."

Who is currently maybe jumping on you a little bit because he might like Dick okay, but Aristotle knows who usually gives him food.

What a loyal dog.

Kirk scratched Aristotle behind the ears, and nudged him to get down. "I can take him with, if you don't want him hanging around."

Dick shrugged, a little surprised by the comment. He'd just assumed Jim would want him to come back with him. "He's your dog. Or do they not allow pets on Enterprise?"

Maybe he wanted to offer you a friend because he did feel bad about leaving but anywhere near enough to stay.

"It's my ship, I do whatever I want. I just thought I'd offer."

He shrugged easily again. He wasn't going to lie, it was going to suck to not have Jim around, but this wasn't a place you wanted to stay in any longer than you absolutely had to, and it wasn't like he was going to ask him to stay. "Whatever you want to do."

That was good, because Kirk would have said no if he'd been asked.

"I'll take him then. And you too, if you want."

Dick laughed a little, shaking his head. "I appreciate the offer, but you know I can't leave Gotham." Or the Barge, really, at least, not yet. "But I might drop by, if you don't mind me imposing."

Re: [Spam]

[captain_jtkirk]

"It's not imposing at all."

[batmanschmatman]

"Then I guess I'll stop by." He hesitated for a moment before going in for a hug, because let's face it, Dick was touchy feely and he wasn't going to apologize for it. "I'm really going to miss you."
