[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.

[farraguts]

Those might take a little longer to get but I can get them.

( hey, he knows some people. he's old, he's charming and he's made a lot of friends. )

Anything specific you want?

[logicalities]

Time is of the essence. If we do not act quickly, we will find the nest fortified upon our return.

[ A faint spark of disappointment. Explosives would be very effective in destroying a nest. As they are not readily available, he will settle for moving without them. ]

Are you able to secure blades or specialized firearms more quickly?

[ A vampire who is not a hunter is unlikely to have easy access to UV-bullets and the other accoutrements of his trade, but Spock is quickly learning that Jim is not to be underestimated. ]
