I am obliged to remind you that this endeavor is likely doomed to failure. The odds are overwhelmingly not in your favor. You are human and I am-- not. At least, not enough to entirely matter in this case. We do not think alike.

My reaction to Jim's death was not usual for me. You know this. He is-- different, and will always be different.

You have enjoyed your experiences in this place, then.

[ ugh you and your annoying nicknames :| ] .. It should not have come to that in the first place. [ he doesn't know how to deal with feels. ]

So far so good. People are interesting to talk to. So far it hasn't been much, kind of looking for a more...interesting home away from home, if you know what I mean.

[ it's affectionate, not derogatory. when it's coming from bones it's derogatory. ]

We were going to die anyway if I hadn't done what I did. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few," remember? If I could have saved everyone else's life, I would have. And I did. I don't regret it.

[ both brows lift at that. ] You wish to be sent to a 'game'. I must advise against such a thing, C-- Jim.

[ don't remind him. he should have been able to think of something, anything to avoid the situation altogether. ] No. Even so, I will do everything in my power to keep that from happening again.

Eventually. Something a bit more exciting. Something fun. Why would you advise against that?

[ There's honestly nothing that could have happened differently, at least, that's what Jim feels, and he's made his piece with exactly what happened. ] Good to know, Spock. Why don't you just accept my gratitude and we'll make it even?
