[It would be interesting to see Kirk try, if he ever wanted to take up the challenge. Though it would not be much different than it had been with Spock. Hit him where it hurts, family.]
Should I want them to be anything less?
[Oh don't pity him. You're supposed to hate him, Kirk. Completely. Save your pity for someone who wants it.]
And what about you, Kirk? Do you count yourself in that?
I miss his original name of Vlad the Impaler ftr. Good boy, Cptn Woof Woof.
[ His hate burns very strongly for Khan, more so than anyone else to date, but understanding where he's coming from and putting himself in similar shoes after much consideration ... the pity trickles in, sour and unwanted but there.
Much like Khan's blood in his veins. ]
I'm not scared of common criminals. Paint the drama however you want, that's what it boils down to.
Captain Woof Woof rolls off the tongue much easier. Plus he totally likes it more.
[If you don't want his blood he'll take it back. You can go be dead still, Kirk. We can arrange this.]
A common criminal breaks into houses, steals purses. I think I'm far above that, not that it was ever my intention to be labeled anything.
Though it's amusing that you call this drama. After everything that happened that's what almost losing your crew and dying was to you? Drama? [Well, this could make a good soap opera. They do die a lot and come back from the dead. Good job, Kirk, you're a typical lead on Days of our Spaceships now.]
[ It's all Kirkified, how do you know you won't turn into an irritatingly handsome/heroic protagonist? Do you really want to take that chance? ]
Anyone can get someone else killed, that makes you the bottom of the barrel, clever brains or not. As for my crew, they are explorers. They did not sign up to be blasted out of the hull at the leisure of anyone who feels like attacking my ship.
[ Arms folding, save for a stern tone Jim remains mostly reserved. ]
[Why would I want that when I'm an irritatingly handsome/badass antagonist? Fine I'll let you keep it. Gosh.]
You took your crew to space just outside the Vulcan home world, Captain. They may have not signed up for trouble, but you forced it on them by doing so. What did you really expect, that things would go smoothly?
[Come now, honestly.]
What I did was not unnecessary, nor stupid, but you are welcome to your opinion. I merely do not care for it.
[Not rattling his cage right now, Kirk, sorry. He's gone in circles with you about what he's done, it's beating a dead horse at this point. Still, if you want to talk about it, he does like listening to himself speak.]
[ Raising his hands, he rubs the heels of his palms into his eyes and lets a gruff sigh huff free as Khan reels off exactly what Jim thought he would. No one's getting anywhere today. ]
God, I'm glad you're frozen.
[ Mentally exhausted by those circles too. ]
Again? :\ only if I can have a side dish of vengeance!
Captain Woof Woof needs both of his daddies.

Let's not argue about the dog again, dear ...

[ Arms folding, save for a stern tone Jim remains mostly reserved. ]
I call it drama, yeah. Unnecessary and stupid.
So uh. What's for dinner?

JUSTICE.
God, I'm glad you're frozen.
[ Mentally exhausted by those circles too. ]
Again? :\ only if I can have a side dish of vengeance!
[Who knows what could happen while you and your crew are away for five years?]
Ah, then I will be an ENTERPRISING cook.
[ Yes, he's crabby and snapping. He indignantly, inwardly argues that he has every right to be. ]
Oh my god. No. We're ordering out and you're grounded from puns forever.
[He's told you what will happen, not bothering to waste his breath on it again. So ominous you get! If you don't like it change the subject, Kirk.]
You don't love meee.
Are you even a person at all?
I let you hog the bed at night. I do too love you.
[He bleeds like any person, there are muscle and bone under his skin. He is a person just like you, Kirk.]
The spooning's nice, I admit.
I'm walking away from you now. Do not follow me.
Yes yes. So Chinese or pizza?
No need. We will meet again, Kirk.
[Ta ta.]
EVERYTHING.
Not if I can help it.
[ EXIT STAGE LEFT. ]
