"...Sort of. It's kind of difficult to have someone you've never met be important to you in the sort of sense most people think."
But Thor's come out here and is concerned enough to make Jim feel bad for how he's been acting. It's not the Asgadrian's fault that Jim's got every kind of hangup when it comes to the other's looks. One a lot easier to deal with than the other. He wishes it was just a shallow vanity issue. It would be easier to stomach. Instead he withdraws a slim glass device from the inner pocket of his uniform and calls up the public domain bio on George Kirk before handing it over. It's easier than talking about it overmuch.
"My father." A hero of Starfleet who died at the captain's birth. The savior of the Kelvin. Like Loki, the man who wears this face has cast an impossibly large shadow for his relation to be living in. Just, a son in this case.
