My remedies aren't exactly what you'd call doctor's orders.

[Jim that isn't even- what. shut up.]

Well, we'd both recommend a bed but I wouldn't recommend sleeping in it.

[yeah he's leering now]

[suddenlycaptain]

[ what ]

You must be really hard up if you're trying to get me into bed with you.

[ She's just going to walk away now.

Not that Kirk can't just follow her. ]

[goldshirt]

[which he does because, well, you know Kirk; once he's fixated it's hard to shake him off.]

I'm not going to turn that into a dirty joke.

[even if he really waNTS TO]

Come on, it'll be fun.

[suddenlycaptain]

[ He's like a dog. No wonder she has cats on the ship. ]

I think I'll pass.

[goldshirt]

You know I really don't understand this aversion so many people up here have against sex.

[still trotting after her.]

[suddenlycaptain]

Why don't you poll the network and find out?

[ Still walking. She has no idea where she's going. Crap. ]

[goldshirt]

Because I'm not interested in their stress level, I'm interested in yours.

[he jogs around some motionless machinery to try and get in front of her.]

[suddenlycaptain]

[ Carolyn stops, arms folding over her chest. ]

And why's that?

[goldshirt]

[he kind of bounces to a stop, up on the balls of his feet, gesturing with one hand between them.]

I have a personal interest. [that isn't what it sounds like] You're one of our leaders.

[suddenlycaptain]

Do you try to have sex with all of the leaders on this ship?

[ ... that'd be kind of hilarious, actually... ]

[goldshirt]

[does Resnik count.

THAT ISN'T THE POINT, he cocks his head, and it's both flirtatious and earnest.]

I'm offering because I want to help, not because I'm chasing tail.

[suddenlycaptain]

[ Yes, she counts.

Carolyn raises an eyebrow. ]

And this was the best thing you could think of?

[goldshirt]

Unless you want to start taking time out of your day for meditation?

[he finds that unlikely.]

[suddenlycaptain]

I'm fine, Kirk.

[goldshirt]

[Jim has that look about him. the one that says he's not going to back down from this easily.]

Yes you are. [sorry, you made that one easy] How long has it been?

[suddenlycaptain]

None of your business.

[ Carolyn turns this time, heading for a different part of the shuttle bay. ]

[goldshirt]

[he laughs lightly and jogs after her]

Won't you just think about it?

[suddenlycaptain]

[ Jim, she won't be able to stop thinking about it for a while. Just probably not in the way you want her to. ]

I'll think about it.

[goldshirt]

[he stops following her once he gets that response, and calls after her]

I mean it!

[he doesn't really expect a response, and his smile softens a little before he shakes his head, turns to head back to the shuttle.]
