<sub>[ Well... life goals, Winn. It's good to have them. ]

[ Well, he didn't tell you the story like he usually does. The whole getting marooned part and running into his first lieutenant's older self in said cave. He trimmed it down for the sake of not blowing more of Winn's mind. ]</sub>

Don't throw up in the shuttle.

_{[ He smirks at him, teasing Winn around his water bottle. He's not sorry, Winn. ]}

[ realistic goals, everyone needs one or two things they can actually achieve.

winn's mind deeply appreciates the sentiment. at least he didn't freak out over giant carnivorous crabs. yet. ]

Too late.

[ he'd very much like to be cool, but he isn't. pretending otherwise - well it's exhausting and pointless, sometimes - it's just easier to steer into the skid ]

[universal_charm]

_{[ There's a moment of looking at him at that admission and then a little sigh, shaking his head ever so slightly. ]}

Did you at least clean it out?

_{[ Cause they have to share those things, Winn. ]}

[winn]

It was a joke.

[ he's not sure if this guy is taking him too seriously, or just thinks really lowly of him.

leaning towards the latter, since he's asking him if he left his disgusting mess to congeal. ]

<sub>[ Well, you were the one freaking out about the whole 'floating' thing, and it wasn't the first time he'd seen someone get sick their first time in space. It was understandable that the loss of gravity and 'direction' messed with your head and equilibrium, though actually throwing up was a bit more rare.

A brow arches at that and he turns to put the bottle in the bin. ]</sub>

Ah. Well, that's a relief. Sorry, you're really good with that straight face. Wouldn't happen to play poker, would you?

[winn]

[ because it's freaky! just because you're used to space! ]

I'm not much of a gambler, but I can play.

[ get to know him a little bit, and you'll find that he's painfully easy to read, unfortunately. but what he lacks in lying skills - he makes up for with awkwardness and a really good head on his shoulders that's very well equipped for card strategy. ]

_{[ Better hope the gravity doesn't go out then! ]}

We should play sometime. I could use something new to do around here. You can only run on a treadmill for so long before you begin to go a little stir crazy.

_{[ Proper male bonding time. Maybe they could get Fenris and Varric in on it, though Kirk wasn't sure either of them knew how to play. ]}

[winn]

[ hoping his hardest! ]

So for like, 5 minutes.

[ that's about how long as he can imagine doing it for. he's never really tried, but, you know, he just has a feeling that it won't be his thing.

but finally, kirk gets a smile. proper male bonding time sounds a lot better than their constant misunderstanding of each other that's been going on so far. they're stuck here together, and they both care about kara. it's better if they get along. ]

You're on.

[universal_charm]

Well, I last a bit longer than that, but it's a pretty close guess.

<sub>[ Except not, Kirk goes for at least an hour if he can. He's all about the physical fitness, not least because he knew what it felt like to be physically helpless and he did not wish to be in such a state again. Among other things. It's complicated.

He smiles back and he nods, glad they had found a common ground at last. ]</sub>

Great! Finally, a good way to pass the time between planets.

[winn]

[ a little longer, sure - he appreciates you sparing his manly pride, there, kirk, even if he knows that it's not even close. ]

Yeah, from what I've been hearing this place is seriously lacking in those. [ it's a relief that they've found one that he wouldn't totally suck at. ]

[universal_charm]

_{[ No problem, Winn. ]}

Makes me miss my Enterprise. She had a whole entertainment deck with a bowling alley and a pool.

_{[ He's almost pouting. ]}
