are you asking for legal council?

or you wanna talk to me about things you've fucked

Does the first mean I get to meet you at your office?

We'd be here all day if I started on that. I figure it wouldn't be something you're into.

Yes. Though there may be a fee. Consider it a free consultation just this once.

It is a thrilling subject, honest. And your list of conquests is getting up there in stars. Feels like we never have enough time as it is.

I'm into plenty of other things.

Guess I'm in need of a legal consult then.

Was that a pun? Ugh, don't remind me. I still owe you for the last time.

You'll have to tell me more about these other things.

You have my business card. Karen can pencil you in.

You're welcome by the way.

In person or would you like a voicemail?

I can drop by in the next hour.

I'm welcome? Oh, okay.

In person. I miss the sound of your voice.

That fast? Ohhh please don't be kidding.

Very welcome.

That's usually my line.

I'm not. I'm in town. Just got in from a trip.

The kind of welcome you're going to show me a hands on kind of version, right?

I'm old-fashioned, I guess.

How long are you going to be in town? More importantly, how long do I have you?

Great minds think alike.

I would have thought the astronaut would be all about the newest and the cutting edge. You're always refreshing.

A few weeks this time, and you've got me for as much of it as you want.

Glad to hear it.

Spending so much time up there with all that fancy tech is just too much sometimes. A guy needs simple.

Then you best be ready to have your time practically monopolized while you're in New York again.

I want to help with those simple needs.

Don't make a guy a promise you can't keep.

I'mm sure you've got a few I can help out with on my end. Need me to grab anything before I drop in?

It's settled then. We're just going to get utterly sick of each other.

Oh, I don't know. Anything you like, Star Man. As long as you get here.

I don't think that's possible.

I feel like you missed an excellent opportunity for Rocket Man. But I'll bring something and surprise you.

You have to let me borrow the kitchen, though.

where did you get such incredible confidence. We might shop at the same store.

No, no. Rockets are temporary, they explode. Stars, those are something else. I'm also partial to David Bowie.

Sounds risky. I like it.

I feel like a gentleman never gives away that kind of secret.

So you’re saying I’m something else? Laying it on so thick, I might think you’re after something.

Risky? No. An adventure for your tastebuds, though. I’m an excellent cook.

Always, always a gentleman. It's such an appeal and you know it.

I may just. That would be telling. You'll have to guess.

Then in that case my mouth is ready.

Do I? I think you’re giving me too much credit here.

Guess? I have to guess on top of the cooking. That’s a pretty steep order there.

I’m pretty sure I can manage though.

Do you mean to say you're not a gentleman? Just a rogue? What on earth am I to do?

[As though he's concerned, frightened even!]

I'm largely low maintenance aside from these stipulations.

I'm a little rogueish maybe. Old habits and all. Officer pips only cover so many sins. You might be in a little trouble if you're not careful.

[ Ohho, maybe he should be. Little concerned at least? Jim's not telling. ]

Can I guess after dinner? Or does it have to be now?

we can both be rogueish together. Though I don't have any one to answer to. oops.

[Save for his priest and God. Though at this point right now they know what he's up to.]

you can guess. it'll be something to pass the time until you're back in my orbit.

Not sure the city could handle both of us like that. It could be a hell of a night.

[ Jim might usually talk with Bones about what he's up to, but neither of them are here with him at the moment. It's weird not having his best friend here with him, but maybe it's for the best. Neither Bones nor Spock would exactly be happy with Jim's coloring outside of the lines ]

Pass the time? I might think it's something a little more on the nefarious side of things and be a little scandalized.

new york can handle it.

[Somehow. Look, Matt is feeling in the full swing of confidence here. He's not going to back down. They're already making terrific conversation and promises. Food, canoodling. He hasn't had the feeling that this is too good to be true...yet.]

then maybe you should just come around sooner to prevent any sort of scandal... That sounds heroic even.
