He shrugged, before pointing out the obvious holes in her logic. "You ask that I not insult you or be snide, but you claim to be superior while also claiming that your pets got loose from your control, that you couldn't bring them back into your power, and that, even without my knowledge domain powers, your ritual portal was nothing of the sort. It was a random conglomeration of several different ritual runic castings, so badly mangled together that either you had no idea what you were trying to do, or your supposed subject matter expert was that clueless."<br/><br/>He held up one hand, in a consoling manner. "I am merely calling it as I see it, so perhaps you could explain how one so superior managed to have such glaring flaws, I could seek to further improve myself to be more like you."<br/><br/>He paused for a second, before shrugging and continuing. "Well, I did meet one of your companions, the blackguard, though he withdrew before I could determine what his goals were, so perhaps you simply haven't had time to find and reclaim them. Unfortunately, he moved from the area I saw him in, so I can't point you in any direction with good intentions, so I will refrain from doing so."<br/><br/>He turned and looked at the male before shaking his head. "No, I don't believe we have met before. I mean, I have obviously met you, I have the scars to prove it, but I don't recall seeing him there. And you are sir?"<br/><br/>He knew there were two possible meanings to her question, and deliberately choose the one that seemed incorrect, though he was in perfect control of his actions, so his confusion would seem natural when she elaborated.
