I've always wanted a fabulously wealthy friend. And I could always use another backer for my light cycle racing.

[tactical_alert]

Light cycle racing. [It's almost a question.] This wouldn't happen to be street racing, would it? [Is that...still illegal?]

[universal_charm]

What? No. It's a legit sport here. I had my first race not that long ago - took third, and a nice chunk of prize money.

_{[ He went to his comm and sent Malcolm a few pictures he had taken of himself in the suit as well as the bike. ]}

[tactical_alert]

Then it sounds like you don't have much need of my imaginary wealth, hm?

[universal_charm]

You never know.

But don't worry, I'll always like you for you, not your money.

[tactical_alert]

Or maybe you just like me because I'm a tiny slice of history, and some little fanboy part of you just can't resist, hm?

[universal_charm]

It's hard to see you as a slice of history, when I've seen almost every inch of you without clothes on. It ruins a little of the mystique.

_{[ He raised an eyebrow, because damn right he went and looked up those ads, Mal. Like he wasn't going to try and find them once you told him about them. ]}

But maybe there's a fanboy part. Maybe.

[tactical_alert]

[Yes, it's what he does for a living, here. Being told what to put on (or take off) and how to pose himself so he can help shill products. He's not necessarily embarrassed by it, not so easily, or he wouldn't be able to do it--but still, he looks away, running his tongue over his bottom lip.] Fair enough.

[universal_charm]

I really do think it's amazing, meeting someone from your time.

_{[ His voice is a bit softer, watching him, leaning on his pool stick. ]}

You guys - you were all something else. I mean, it took guts going into space like that, even with Vulcan help. It's pretty damn impressive.

[tactical_alert]

I think the boomers would have a few choice words with you about the bravery of going out there, but--thank you. [His expression softens.]

I know it's nothing small, what we did. But it's still...hard to imagine being part of history, no matter how many times it's said in speeches. I'll be dead long before I'm put in any historical footnotes, I think.

[universal_charm]

Maybe. But you guys helped change a lot of things, helped open all these new possibiltles. So, it makes me glad that I got to meet you.

_{[ He looks to Malcolm, his smile soft, but sincere. It wasn't every day you got to meet someone of Malcolm's caliber and history, and for all Kirk wasn't the most serious of people, he could appreciate the opportunity for what it was. Even if he didn't remember it should he go home, he'd savor calling Malcolm his friend while he could. ]}

And you aren't half bad at pool either.
