[fiamme]

That is very kind of you.

[He reminds her, somewhat, of someone she has tried very hard to forget about. Not of Roy, who was funny and charming - but of Dick who was easy to speak with, endlessly open with her and humored all her quirks and took all the cultural differences in his stride.

It's a nice, familiar sort of feeling. She likes Jim Kirk, she decides. Jim Kirk can stay.

She smiles a mischievous smile. ]

Do you like to fly?

[hischair]

[ He grins and nods encouragingly. ]

I love to fly. I'm actually the captain of a starship, that's how much.

[fiamme]

You are?

[She pauses, glancing up towards the sky as she considers this. Humans, back home, don't have starships. Not anyone who isn't the Justice League, anyway. She taps her finger against her chin and then springs to her feet.

Wide, green eyes bear down on him as she takes a step backwards. ]

In my world, humans do not have starships that can go very far. But, I did not mean starships at all. I meant, do you like to fly?

[To emphasize her point, she floats just a little off the ground. ]

[hischair]

[ Joining her on his feet, Jim has to reassert his grip on his jacket; no, fuck that, he tugs it on so his hands are free, reaching one out to her. ]

I can't do that, even if I'd like to. How are you ... ?

[fiamme]

[Brushing her fingers against his, she grips onto his hand (trying, as an afterthought, to mind her own strength). ]

It is biological. This sun and Earth's sun grants my people the power of flight.

[hischair]

[ He has the irrational fear she'll float way like a balloon, stretching up with a laugh to curl his fingers around hers and keep Kori tethered. ]

I don't mind admitting I'm jealous.

[fiamme]

You should not be. It is very easy to carry you.

[Logic. But, she touches back down on ground. ]

[hischair]

Not sure how dignified that'd look, but thanks for the offer. I should probably pull the proper introductions out, since you know I have a ship now.

[ And she gets a squeeze to her hand before he lets go. ]

Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise.

[fiamme]

[Her mouth twitches upwards. ]

Princess Koridand'r of the planet Tamaran and Captain of the starship Starfire.

[She laughs, lifting a hand to tuck stray orange strands behind an ear. ]

[hischair]

A princess, no less. Should I be bowing, Your Highness?

[ A playful smirk lingers. ]

[fiamme]

You could, if you wish.

[Is she joking we just don't know. ]

[hischair]

I'll hold off for now, then. Saving it for a rainy day.

[fiamme]

I did not know that a bow should be designated to rainy days on Earth.
