[Well. Credit where credit’s due — that does sound like him.]
Further delay would have gotten under my skin, I readily admit to that much. [Like shards of glass, just under the surface. The idea of being torn away from his goals, which he had been building up for millennia, would be enough to vex anyone, he thinks. A spike of bitterness rises as he just entertains the thought, and this he doesn’t even bother to hide. What was the point, if Regis already knew his reaction to thus?
But things are not quite the same as they supposedly were before. Ardyn has achieved what he wanted, with the strange exception of being alive and well here now. In a way, it was a step backwards — or was it just a matter of time being all twisted up and wrong here? Whether or not it was all invalidated now required thought, and wasn’t something he could reconcile over the length of one passing conversation with Regis.]
What can I say? I have no memory of that time, and no context. Promising that I will be so benevolent again is no guarantee. The circumstances regarding when I was taken may be different, but still irritatingly inconvenient nonetheless.
regis missed a good time with the fire horses, don't lie
