Not a new face either given how unsurprised the older Kirk is at being in a place like this where he could run into his younger self form an alternate universe as easily as he could a dinosaur on his way home from his morning shopping. Jim's seen this man before, once. Briefly. He's sure of that now.
And grief fills his chest remembering that the man who showed Jim those memories is dead and gone. Jim drops his gaze and tries to clear his throat.
"He told me about you. Not much, said he wasn't allowed. I sort of assumed...it was because it hurt to much to talk about. Never thought I'd actually meet you." Hesitant hands reach up to touch the older man's arms, as though not quite daring to believe he's real. "Sorry, this has got to be weird. Hi, Jim."
