( if you'd have taken a bet as to which starfleet officer ended up in the brig first you wouldn't have come out with this one. the fact that she's now back in the brig-- she's starting to really hate superstition )

Anyone that's allowed on deck want to tell me which direction the ship's pointing? Or what you see up there?
I'll even trade a story, something from your home for one of mine.

( she'd even take a story about the things that people have seen here but she's info seeking, find out where people are from, maybe when... she can't help the pirates but she can still be busy.

you could also potentially assume that she's a little bored )

[ Those words hit so close, so much closer than she could possibly know. Christopher Pike is alive and well in her reality, after all, so how could she know the dull ache that hits him square in his chest with those words alone?

Luckily Jim's gotten good at internalizing some things, and keeping up a calm demeanor despite everything. He's still looking away but he smiles. Grief and regret aside, he appreciates the words. ]

I like to think so, yes.
