Jim's never experienced it for himself either, so this is new territory for him as well. Fortunately, the genuinely mortified look on her face is enough to convince him that there's been some kind of mistake here, even before she apologizes. He's silent for a long moment after she stops talking, carefully reining in his own reaction before it can manifest outwardly and make things worse.
"Sounds like it was an honest mistake," he says at last, and though he's still watching her somewhat warily, he feels fairly confident that she's not trying to pull some kind of bizarre psychological trick on him in return. "I don't understand what the hell's going on here sometimes either. My name is Jim Kirk. Just... apparently not the one you thought I was?" That's gonna be a mindfuck later, he's pretty sure.
