What in God's name were you on a revenging warpath for? Pike? Jim, listen
to me, you could've avenged Pike on Kronos. Could've easily done it when
you had that bastard on the ship. But you didn't.
[But everything that indicated human. Jim isn't overly optimistic about
Klingon's actually being reasonable about a blood bath. Whether or not the
perpetrator was a mutual bad guy.]
Would you have gone? If you were a captain would you have done what I did?

And look where it got all of us.

One less war with Klingons.
no subject
We don't know that.
[They don't. They don't know what the hell the Klingons made of that slaughter. They could be absolutely fucked.]

[Or they could not be. There was nothing in that slaughter that indicated Starfleet]

I wouldn't.
[He scowls and it's more of a scowl of a man who's lost someone dear to him only for them to pull the GOTCHA flag]
You know what? I'm a doctor, Jim. Not a Starfleet captain. That's who you are.
no subject
Right.
[He fucking loves you, Bones. But you couldn't have voiced these concerns, you know, before shit hit the fan?]

I can't do what you do, Jim. Not in a million years. Which is why we're in the roles we're in.
no subject
I thought we were in these roles because we were both running away.

Sense of humor's still in tact.

That's not denying it.
