[ Video ] Man Overboard
Who: Jim Kirk
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On the Tourist
When: Today/Now
[ When Kirk's image comes on the screen, he isn't his usual, happy, confident self. His face is more serious, seeming withdrawn and there is a tenseness in his jaw, as if he were grinding his teeth. He is silent for several seconds, looking as if he is gathering words, wondering how much to say.
Finally - ]
I had hoped the reality would be different, but there's no denying it anymore.
For those who knew him and cared about him, or even if you didn't I suppose, Remy Lebeau has returned to home. I'm sorry to add to what seems like a stream of bad news.
[ The feed will cut shortly after that because what else is there to be said?
If you come around the Tourist, though, one can find Kirk in the gym, working up a sweat, practicing self-defense or running. He wasn't one to drink when upset - he was one to work until there wasn't enough energy to think anymore. ]

Are you - woah!
[ okay right into it! winn does his best to block the blows. he doesn't do as badly as he thinks, but he's really not used to jim being this ferocious. ]
no subject
He knows he's being unfair. Winn isn't ready for the onslaught Kirk presents, even though he's holding back from the full depths of his anger and grief. He won't hurt Winn (much), but he'll end up with bruises, and he certainly isn't giving him the usual openings to fight back or counter.
He stops after about twenty minutes, panting hard and trickling sweat. ]
I think that's enough.
no subject
winn's relief is pretty impossible to hide when jim calls it. he's breathing hard, drenched in sweat, and can already feel some bruises forming. his muscles hurt, and his heart is beating harder than it ever has in one of their lessons.
this is probably good. he needs to learn to deal with this - a real attacker won't go easy on him and won't give him openings, after all - and he's proud himself for not curling into a ball on the floor, not calling it quits, and not being broken beyond repair by the end of it. he managed to block a fair amount of blows considering he's never trained this intensely.
but he's glad it's over.
he nods at jim, and throws him a bottle of water before collapsing on the floor himself. he's exhausted. ]
