Since our romanized lettering isn't really how Klingons write, it doesn't
really matter, as long as we understand you. Personally, I use <>'s.

This isn't necessarily wrong, but be aware: using verbs of saying is something
we're not too sure about.

Don't you mean, {qapumbe'} "I did not accuse you"? Oh, I see. This is
necessary for the joke. Never mind!

This would be an appropriate place for the suffix {-choH}. You're not just
describing the warrior as being angry, you're making the point that this
conversation begins to make him angry. {QeHchoH SuvwI'}.
