No.

[Try again.]

[ :| ] Fair enough. Anything you know I'd want you to tell me?

[He tilts his head.]

Yes. Why are you playing games about it?

Because it's better to hear it in your words first, before I tell you the side I've been told.

Better for who?

Better for me, to really understand what's going on here, and better for you because I'm the one helping you graduate.

If you want to understand, you should ask the questions you actually want the answers to.

[ He opens his mouth, stops, and stares at the ceiling for a few long seconds. ]

Why did you disintegrate Collins' tongue?

I don't like it when people call this place Hell. And then he invited Arthur to come do more than argue, when he didn't like it either.

[ Ah. Well, it's hardly a surprise to admit: ] I don't love it, either.

In part because "getting your tongue ripped out for saying something a god didn't like" is the sort of thing that happens in mine.

If Arthur chose to take him up on that offer, it would be a direct confrontation. Warden to warden, mortal to mortal.

[Kahl smiles, a tiny mean glint of a thing, like a sliver of broken glass.]

He should feel so pleased to be vindicated, then.

[He tilts his head, and a beat later, all mock-innocence, mock-surprise -]

No?

[ Zerxus contains multitudes. He is, genuinely, distraught about the actual pain suffered here.

He's also kind of a petty bitch, and that's where the growl in his voice comes from. ]

You know, I think he actually is, and that's a real treat for the rest of us.

[Kahl scoffs, a moment of quick breath through his nostrils, too quiet to be a snort.]

I'll expect his thanks thanks shortly, then.
