What Khan found amusing about all of this was the fact that he actually did come here to fight, only it wasn’t with Jim, and he hadn’t planning on being struck this many times. The blow to the ribs allowed Khan to observe Jim’s approach; the kidney shot let him see his preferred technique, and the uppercut-

Well the uppercut did show him that the stars were out tonight.

Once said and done, Khan lowered his lofty gaze back onto Jim. This would normally be the time when Khan retaliated; but this wasn’t a normal fight. There were consequences that he actually needed his full consideration.

There was next to nothing for Khan here aside from the sole promise, and he hated relying on one, that Jim would be able to reunite him with his crew. A humored, dark look crossed his face and he flicked one of his wrists to grip the hidden knife that came out.

He pointed it at Kirk before flipping it over so he was holding the handle out to him.

"Perhaps this will help to achieve your goal." If Jim wanted to go to a dark place, Khan was ready to take him there.
