[That it was left at verbal sniping spoke of restraint on someone's part, at least. A restraint of necessity, perhaps, with Lahabrea not yet in any condition to make good on threats, while Irhya, he doubted, would be inclined to resort to violence first.]

It's strange... to think that I'm more on your side than his. [A hefty sigh; it did make things somewhat easier, in a sense. Were he still tempered, without the understanding that he now carried, things would be more complicated. It still wasn't simple; Lahabrea was still Amaurotine, and even if the passage of time had changed everything else, that much would always be true, and that much would always matter.]

Though in his current state, he'd be just as likely to be the one getting hurt, were he to offend the wrong sort. In either case, he'll need watched.

[Which was more of a suspicious way of presenting concern, but it is what it is.]
