James T. Kirk, Captain of the starship Enterprise (captcasanova) wrote in wariscoming,

He chuckled slightly. "When I was a teenager I was kind of awkward. That first kiss I told you about? I was fifteen when I got it. It wasn't until I was eighteen that I kind of hit my stride. I got a couple guys at the local college who took me under their wing, but generally I just got told to crack jokes and be charming.

He was quiet for a moment as he thought. "Well, that depends on where I'm living. If I'm still in my apartment in San Francisco or the place here I'd probably want something I could keep in the apartment. An iguana or something, maybe a Komodo dragon. But if it was anything at all? A zebra. They were my favorite animal when I was a kid. I've only ever seen them in books and movies. I've never actually been to a zoo to see one up close."
