[He's trying to be funny :c] I just have lackeys.

[majorum_pride]

What about ideological adversaries? [Those are the ones that give you the bruises the lackeys fix, right?]

[captain_jtkirk]

I stopped keeping track.

[majorum_pride]

I'm sure their numbers fluctuate more than those of the lackeys.

[captain_jtkirk]

I also think the line between lackey and someone who wants to beat me into the ground changes far too often.

At least you're physically aware at any moment of which is which.

[captain_jtkirk]

[majorum_pride]

[This sounds good to him.] I want to be captain on your ship.

[captain_jtkirk]

Tough shit. You'll have to pry her from my cold, dead hands.

[majorum_pride]

[That's almost funny. No, it is kind of funny, in a terrible, terrible way.]

Don't worry, my tenure captaining starships is over and from the sound of it your CMO would be a handful.

[captain_jtkirk]

He's just spirited. Give him bourbon and he'll settle down.
