[he's already taken well to it, and jim tries, in his own way, to give him other things. he praises him when he does well by the standards he is still learning. he remembers that his mother used to do such things when he was young.
khan may not approve of jim's sudden attachment to a child from another universe and another time, but he doesn't believe he'll rid himself of him when jim dies. he's taken to max like a father would a son, and khan has always had strong feelings about family.
the added help from the metal deck under them suddenly lifting as if it were alive in order to assist them puts less strain on jim's injuries, but he's hardly in any shape to recover while they are here. he'll be lucky if he can recover with a doctor like bones to assist him, not to mention the augmentation he's undergone thanks to transfusions of khan's blood over time.
but he's fading. he knows he is. he can feel it in the cold that seeps in that isn't from the metal. he can feel it in the lethargy creeping up. he's felt it before. he knows he doesn't have long.]
