Jim didn't let go, but he stiffened slightly. "It's not pity," he snapped. "Don't you think I know what you're feeling? That I wish this world had spared you that?" He swallowed. It wasn't a subject he liked discussing either. Would it help, that Kirk knew? Would it help to tell him of meeting Kodos again?
"I'm not asking you to back down from what you believe in. I'm asking you to think it over. To make sure you have perspective. No one would blame you for having to find it again. The Jim Kirk I know believes in due process and altering one's options to fit the situation. The situation's changed. That's all I came here to say. I... met him again. Kodos. Years later. I'm not ignorant of your situation."
His arm dropped, and he took a step back.
"I've overstayed my welcome," he said. "You know where to find me." Doing nothing.
