So glad you liked.

And I really do think he'd be melancholy about winning, somewhere in with the gloating and the excitement. Not because, as I've seen some people handle it, he's a warrior and not an administrator and would be sad without anyone to fight and unable to administer his empire. I think he's too awesome to fall prey to Megamind Syndrome. ;-)

Rather, I think he'd be a little sad/wistful because his whole life for thousands of vorns has been defined by having Prime as his foil. Now he's in a completely new phase of his life, and no one ever knows quite what to do with those.

And also, as much as I borrow from Nietzsche when I write my 'Cons, well... this:

It is only in characters like these that we see the possibility (supposing, of course, that there is such a possibility in the world) of the real "love of one's enemies." What respect for his enemies is found, forsooth, in an aristocratic man—and such a reverence is already a bridge to love! He insists on having his enemy to himself as his distinction. He tolerates no other enemy but a man in whose character there is nothing to despise and much to honour! On the other hand, imagine the "enemy" as the resentful man conceives him—and it is here exactly that we see his work, his creativeness; he has conceived "the evil enemy," the "evil one," and indeed that is the root idea from which he now evolves as a contrasting and corresponding figure a "good one," himself—his very self!
