[ Jim isn't exactly familiar with the sentiment himself, as he's often unashamed and unapologetic when it comes to these things. However he's of the firm belief that sometimes the only way out is to push through, which right now basically translates to not talking about it and waiting until eventually the air clears around them and the awkwardness dissipates. ]
I'm expecting them at 0800 today, so any minute now. Sulu will get in touch, no doubt. [ He steps into the lift, addressing the computer and naming the deck where the mess hall is, wishing he already had something more concrete to tell her. The topic of their upcoming mission would be so harmless and it would fill the awkward silence so nicely. It might've even carried them through the whole breakfast. Not that Jim's usually the kind to appreciate work talk all the time, but this is one occasion where it would be very welcome.
Hands behind his back, he looks up and down the door as the lift glides smoothly across decks. Lips twitching a little, he shares the thought that's apparently amusing him. ] Wouldn't it be nice if these had some background music?
