The idiomatic phrasing "I have something for you" seems unlikely to
carry over into Klingon. I'd substitute the verb {nob} for {ghaj}, or
perhaps rephrase it to something like {Qu' potlh DaghajchoH} or
{...Data'nIS}.

("Uneasy" is another English word whose meaning doesn't quite match
its apparent component parts.)

The context suggests that this could be a rhetorical question, but if
that's what this is, the question seems backwards. If it's a true
interrogative, for whom is it intended?

I'm just going to point out what I believe to be strained grammar
here, then shut up about it.
