Your point was moot. I need neither comfort nor thoughtfulness.

Gifts aren't about need kid, and I have a feeling you could use a little thoughtfulness in your life if this is how you react to it.

Ask instead of ordering and we'll see. It's part of acting like your damn age.

I am a leader of my people, I will not tolerate your condescension.

It's called respect. I'll treat you with some when you stop go around acting like you have a damn scepter in hand.

It's called a teral'n.

[voice]

[hyposprayed.livejournal.com]

And what the hell is a teral'n?

The 'scepter.' Ceremonial, but far more useful than a scepter.

[hyposprayed.livejournal.com]

And by 'useful' I'm somehow sure you mean 'dangerous.'

A scepter isn't capable of disembowelment.

Damnit Shinzon, you're human too. Take a look at your own species' history and see what's possible.

[Snarling] I was raised in a Reman mine by Remans. They did more for me than humans ever could have.

If they did or didn't, it doesn't change what you are. It's part of you, whether you want to face it or not.

[voice]

[voiceshall_echo]

It isn't a part of me.
