James T. Kirk. This was worth studying closer. Pike slowly stood, the air of command around him strong as it was with any natural born leader. The great sense of a lion was with him, lazy and sluggish until he needed to be in action, as if he was preserving his strength for that very moment. He crossed the distance between them, coming in for the closer look.
The differences were obvious immediately, both physical and mental. This particular James Kirk seemed older, older then even the one of his own universe. There was a more mature air about him, in the way he spoke, in the calm tones of his voice, the look in his eyes. The James Kirk he knew was wild-eyed, even in his calmest moments, as if the fire that kept him pushing, got him his very position on the I.S.S. Enterprise, was visible through his eyes alone. Blue ones, to these hazel ones.
Such a difference, these Kirks, then the Spocks. Perhaps it was the nature of the bond that had given him such a ready knowledge of who was addressing him that first visit with the older Spock, or perhaps it was the age gap that was between his own Spock and the younger of the trio. A small digging had discovered that the Christopher Pike of this universe was five years younger then himself, at least in current physical age, but also that this was five years in the past. He had left the universe in the time of 2263.
Pike tilted his head, saying nothing at all. Then, he gave a slight quirk of his eyebrow and another faint nod, "I believe no introduce is needed. I may not've known you, but you certainly seem to know me."
