Oh, a kindred soul, now that he didn't expect. But hey, at least he doesn't have to awkwardly explain how claustrophobically awful it is to be mobbed by vultures looking for juicy gossip and the most compromising picture they can manage. It was shitty enough when he was a kid, never mind how annoying it is as an adult.
He pulls a similar face at the question. "Kind of? I mean, there's ceremonial stuff that gets broadcast across the Federation sometimes, like on Remembrance Day, so it's not like it never happens. I'm, uh, sort of a special case though." His smile isn't really genuine, though he's rather practiced at pretending it doesn't still bother him. There's hardly anyone at home that doesn't know about George Kirk. It's not a secret. "Youngest starship captain ever, and my dad was... kind of a hero. Went out in a big dramatic blaze of glory, that kinda thing. News has kinda had an interest in my family ever since."
