[logicalities]

I was ten.

[ Matter of fact, as though this is a perfectly normal age to be set loose to hunt on his own. Father of the year award, there, for Sarek. ]

My father was at times overly cautious. Though I had proven my ability in the traditional manner by embarking upon the kahs-wan when I was seven, he did not allow me to hunt on my own until he personally was satisfied as to my competency.

[farraguts]

Jesus.

( he'd been young. jim rubs the back of his neck before he sighs. )

Has it always been vampires? Or have you hunted other things?

[logicalities]

[ An unexpected reaction, though Spock opts to make no comment on it. Surely the news that he has been a competent hunter since ten years of age ought to be reassuring rather than eliciting something near chagrin. ]

Other things, when necessary. Fortunately, there are relatively few other creatures that see fit to feed upon sentient beings.

[farraguts]

True.

( vampires did have that little quirk about them, didn't they? he makes a face. )

Not all vampires are like what we saw in that building.

[logicalities]

They are not.

[ He tips his head, adds, dryly: ]

You may have noticed that I did not attempt to kill every vampire I encountered on sight.

[farraguts]

I did notice that.

( and he appreciates that. he's not sure he would have helped if spock had just come in with his sword swinging. )

I would have been a little pissed off if you'd just come in and started lopping off heads. I don't think we'd be having this conversation.

[logicalities]

Indeed, we would not.

[ He could leave it there. He could. But instead, he adds, mouth quirking with just the faintest trace of humor: ]

As you would be lacking a head.

[farraguts]

Oh, you're full of yourself.

( jim grins widely, amused. he tips his head, crosses his arms. )

You think you're that good that you could catch and kill me?

[logicalities]

[ Dryly: ]

At the moment, I am full of your blood. I believe that makes me full of you.

[ But he gives Jim a considering look, lingering and evaluating. After a few seconds pass, he declares: ]

And yes. I would be able to track you, capture you, and, if necessary, kill you.

[farraguts]

Ha, good one.

( he can appreciate something that makes him laugh even if he follows up by saying that he'd kill jim if there was a reason to.

jim clicks his tongue against his teeth and raises an eyebrow. )

I'm not that easy to kill.

[logicalities]

I did not say I would have an easy time of it.

[ Placidly, as though they're not discussing the offing of one of the people in the room. ]

[farraguts]

I'm just amused that you so brazenly think you'd beat me.

( he's pretty confident and jim does like that, at least. )

You haven't even seen me fight. Not the best of my abilities. I barely showed you what I can do back there.

[logicalities]

While that may be true— [ He studies Jim again. ] —you have also not seen the best of my abilities.

[ And he is certain he could indeed take the other vampire in a fight. ]

[farraguts]

Guess I haven't.

( he could admit that. he glances over spock's body with some curiosity and fascination before he smirks. )

Probably won't be seeing that for a little bit. You took a beating and my blood can help but it's still gonna take some time.

[logicalities]

[ The sense of sharp evaluation abruptly vanishes, darkening into something almost mournful. ]

You are unfortunately correct. No doubt our foes will be glutting themselves in preparation.

[farraguts]

Probably.

( but at least they had some idea what they were going to be facing. )

Probably need more weapons.

[logicalities]

That would be helpful. Are you aware of a location where we may acquire additional armaments?

[ They're lucky they still have Spock's sword — anything else he brought, he suspects is now lost along with what he had stored in his original lodgings. ]

[farraguts]

I might.

( he scratches lightly at his cheek and sighs. )

What kind of weapons do you want? Guns? Blades? Explosives?

[logicalities]

[ A tick of surprise has Spock's eyebrow lifting. ]

Explosives would be highly effective.
