Someone who understands the difference between being honest and telling the whole truth? That's a nice change of pace. It gives Amelia a better appreciation of both Jim Kirks, and brings the barest hint of a smirk to her lips.

"Not at all. Sometimes it's better for everyone if things are left unsaid." Which is exactly why she didn't give all of the details of why she and the other Jim Kirk have so many issues with each other. Those details don't get them anywhere, so why should she share those things with this man? It gets them nowhere, and only leaves her in a more vulnerable place. "And if I ask too much, you can always look me in the eye and tell me you can't. I'll understand that easily enough." Because lying or deceiving someone is different than simply not being able to tell them something.

She offers him a hand to shake, meeting his gaze with a pleasant, if vaguely determined, one. "Shall we call a truce and deal, then? To be honest with each other in what ways we can?"
