"I am glad to hear that," he said with a smile. Sookie, that was an odd but nice name. He wasn't one to discount people on their names and who was to say what was odd these days with people from all different times and places here? Though she did seem to be from America unless there was another Louisiana around - he had never heard of Bon Temps before. Still he couldn't help but be curious about her.
"A pleasure to meet you Sookie," he told her. "I'm Jim Kirk of the USS Enterprise formally from Riverside, Iowa aka the middle of nowhere," he said with a grin. God he hated his home town, it had nothing but bad memories for him, things he wanted to ignore. Mostly Frank and Wiona and the police due to all the bar fights he had gotten into over the years. Yeah that wasn't a place he wanted to talk or think about at all. "Have you been here long?" he asked her.
