[ John lies down next to him, looking back in that fearless way of his. There's something about John's imperturbability that fascinates him. It's rare in humans, obviously, and it makes watching him fall apart in bed so much more interesting. Really, without his physical human fallacies, the man would be ideal on the battlefield. It's no wonder he's sought it out, as people do today, willingly. It's hard to imagine him anywhere else.

At John's question, Khan's face remains blank, unaffected. His brain is slowly forcing him away from wakefulness, body well and truly spent, and he can't be bothered to play around any longer.

[ He doesn't add that he's currently stuck in 2259 because it doesn't matter. It may, come a later date. This world doesn't have the technological advances of his own, not even when adjusting for timeline divergences. No, this place works slower, has evolved at an entirely different pace and there's something undisturbed about it that he quite likes. He shifts slightly, enough to make himself fully comfortable. In less than five minutes, he'll be falling asleep. ]
