[ Indeed, Xenk would expect no less! It's why he's always honest -- people are free to do what they will with the knowledge he shares. He is never anything but perfectly objective (false.) ]

Yes, I believe this is so.

[ Which is to say, he doesn't know, but sometimes you just feel it in your bones, you know? Yeah. Don't ask him for specifics or he'll have to prove how little he actually knows about Kirk's life outside of his classes. But he speaks with passion about this -- if nothing else, Xenk may not admit to wanting Kirk to be "happy," but there is some part of him that is maybe thinking about his future. ]

While his façade is convincing to most, I do not believe he would reach fulfillment with so superficial a goal. He has the heart of a leader, and the ambition to match. To reduce him to a false persona would be a great tragedy.
