Jim refrains from laughing again though his smile has turned awfully soft and warm as he is pulled along over to the flowering bush to aid in this Very Important Mission the little girl has. Exaggerated faces of thoughtful contemplation ensue as he overs over each tiny bunch of white flowers until the girl insists that one that, that one and he nods in solemn agreement to her tastes and plucks the blossoms carefully at the base of the stems for her before bending back down to offer them to the child.
Joanna must be nearly this old, Jim reckons. He's only ever met Bones' daughter once and it was in a transmission sent from the ship. He wonders if she'd be this headstrong too. More than likely even worse considering she's Dr. McCoy's. Shuffling in the grass and the burbling of the toddler have Jim looking up after only a moment with a polite smile on his face.
The handshake is returned without making Erling wait. He's got his hands full it seems.
"Jim Kirk. It's a pleasure, Erling. Klemens. And--" Jim looks down and offers a reassuring smile to the girl as well, "Theresa. I'm pleased to meet you too." Oh goodness when she pouts she's even more adorable. The captain can't help but to chuckle just a bit before returning his attention to her father.
