"First, he is no longer deceiving... he has made public what he is. When I first met him, he hid what he was. He knew he was an empath, that he had that gift from his mother's blood and he couldn't help but use it. Each challenge he faced, each time he used this gift he did it hiding behind a Klingon face. That was his dishonor. When I discovered it, I challenged him. I could not bare to see it." He took a long drink. "As I already said, the challenge was interrupted and after I fought side by side with him, it felt wrong to kill him immediately. We had fought off a greater force... I felt he earned some time to learn honor. It was more than a year later when I challenged him again. In that time, perhaps I learned something from my own students, the mongrels that it was my duty to teach. But the second time I challenged him, it was not to the death, I challenged him to be truthful and he accepted it, announced who and what he was."
Still talking while he got up for a refill. "Of course the same day I learned of my own deception and he continues to insult me over it. He calls me dishonorable for not revealing my own secret... but then... I never knew. Today more know of his misfortune than know of mine but there is a difference. His gives an unfair advantage and he used it. I suppose it is my own disgrace that makes me stronger than I would otherwise be, my hearing has always been acceptional, and, without trying to boast, I am a genius." He paused and let her laugh.
"I say that as a fact, not a boast. I am at least exceptional in my congnitive skills and maybe that is in part due to my heritage. But it is what I am. I cannot change it. I cannot choose to be as mentally slow as ta'pez but if I was an empath I could learn to ignore it or to warn others of the gift and my advantage. There was a time I would have considered killing him for what he was but I have grown since then. Now I am content that he has ceased to deceive, at least about that." K'Hare drained half the tankard and topped it off before sitting down again.
"I have changed since then. I can see that now. Back then I would have been offended by the mix of a Klingon and betazed. Now, I see that such as him have a stuggle to find their own honor and as long as I don't seem them acting with dishonor, abusing the gift, I would give them time to find their honor. Maybe ta'pez has done this for me. He still has much to learn, but he is better than he was when I first knew him 4 years ago."
