Don't worry about it, we don't have time for that anyway.
[part of it with his crew will be a debriefing anyway, and back on the Enterprise, something like this would consist of a podium and maybe dress blues.
[True, but that doesn't mean he likes it. While he doesn't care either way about the pirates, if there's going to be a service it should be done correctly. But no use arguing, no time to. However.]
How's - everything else. [How are you, he doesn't say, but it's kind of what he means if the followup is any indication.] Talked to Nathan.
[he knows, but from Uhura because he hasn't spoken to Nathan as of yet. Still, it was just another tick on the list of terrible things to deal with. How is he?
It's one hell of a loaded question. He feels guilty about the pirates, fear about the ship and the safety of is crew, worry for the rest of the passengers and what this attack but unfold to in the future with them, anxiety over Ward clearly being a lunatic that knew more of what was going on than he let on without it being just a theory anymore, stress over the fact that when the pirates had come Jim had spoken plenty of how they had enough supplies but that most of it was lip service because his bone deep fear of not having enough food had been almost crippling. He was he?]
I'm fine.
[because he was a captain and he couldn't be anything less]
[Meneer Kirk he is going to throw you into the goddamned sun. Because that isn't an "I'm stressed, but I'll be fine" or even an "I'm tired but I'll be fine", it's the exact same bullshit he'd pull.
Huff.]
Right. [...so incredulous.] Y'know where I am, you want a break after.
[because god does he ever and even if he doesn't get a chance to have that bit of relaxation right after the service slash meeting he's still going to keep it in mind]

[They, you know, the pirates. Great job elaborating there Nederland.]
That's - [sooner than he thought] Might not be able to set it up nice. Like last time.
