Re: Narrenschiff, Day One

"Okay?"

It's the first real emotion Kahl has shown in this conversation, and that emotion is bewildered teenage dismissal.

"I don't care about your opinion, though." He says it - not slowly, but just a little bit more enunciated than normal. Not that Asmodeus might be a bit dim, but - well. That he might have spent so long surrounded by servants and sycophants and marks, all desperately wanting something, even if only to be passed over - that he may have overlooked the possibility.

Recent events notwithstanding.

"Tolerate it or don't. If you won't, we'll leave."

Zerxus spent a lifetime trying to make himself an open hand. But Kahl doesn't care about persuading anyone, most of the time. By the time vengeance is needed, persuasion has long since failed. He won't be drawn into arguing with Asmodeus about what's acceptable: there is only what each of them will, and will not accept.
