Xenk smiles all the same. This is what he's wanted for all these months. This would redeem him, and give him the chance to create a better legacy than what Szass Tam wanted for him.
No, he would never be a man that Szass Tam could be proud of. He would make sure of that. And he knows Kirk will make him proud. He has talent and strength, but he would need guidance. Xenk hopes -- no, knows he will be up to the task. He simply must. ]
