Great. That just made me spend an hour on TV Tropes reading up on things and adding Kicked Upstairs / The Wonka / The Last DJ to Irresponsible Captain Tylor.
Um. He’s not shown himself a fan of fair odds… but what if he really does want to fight them all?
I’m kinda hoping Virginia’s grip strength is under her estimate, and that RK’s current armor doesn’t have jet boots… or any aerodynamic stability. He’s got a thick head, right?
Don’t say “what ho” just yet. Ask “Chopper” to sort things out for you instead, just to make sure no-one’s in any doubt as to how much they dislike you. If you don’t do something quickly, there’s a risk someone (in this case, Nick) might do something sensible.
Interesting strategy, but I don’t know that Crimson Knight is actually intelligent enough to realize he can lose a fight. :B
I’m actually getting a worrying vibe from him, that he’s actually really good at what he does. He’s not an idiot…he’s a jerk.
I’m sure he never would have been recruited if he hadn’t been very good at what he does.
You can be excellent at what you do and still be an idiot. (See the Bunny Ears Lawyer, Idiot Hero and Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass tropes)
Bunny-Ears Lawyer is where your eccentricity is overlooked because of your competence. This is usually due to brilliance, not idiocy.
Other than that, I agree with your assessment.

Whether he’s an idiot, a jerk, or a sociopath, he’s a survivor. Right now he’s thinking about how he can turn this situation to his advantage.
Option 3, take you with me?

the title of this chapter *is* “Can’t Catch Me”….
End him rightly!
Go for hostile. RK likes a challenge.
To that last line, ALL OF MY YES.
Say “what ho” again. Say “what ho” again, I dare you!

C’mon buddy, act like your namesake for once. Assess the odds, come up with a strategy, and make the winning move.
Or to put it another way; Queen takes Knight (straight up), checkmate.
