Later, there will be time for sweet words and promises. There's so much Jim wants to tell Felix. So many things he's come to realize about the conjurer. Things he needs to say and admit.
But that time is not now. The Imperial Emperor is making his appearance, along with what must be his most trusted retainers. Jim studies all of them carefully whilst leaning into Felix's embrace. Everyone gathered may have heard this all before but the speech and ceremony are new to James Kirk and he pays very close attention. While much of the symbolism and digs at factions goes over his head, the grand scale of the event certainly doesn't.
His grip on Felix tightens when the emperor welcomes in the new year. In just a few days time he'll be the same age as George Kirk was. His chest tightens but there's cheers all around them. New life, huh? He takes a long, deep breath when Felix's relatives head to them again and makes sure his best smile is in place.
