That gets a quiet laugh out of him, at least.

"It's so strange," he pauses to sip the drink finally, almost as if to emphasize the thought he's about to vocalize, "By all appearances, you're trying to kill us. Yet you also seem surprisingly interested in humanity. Or at least, those humans who end up as knights. The Protector, on the other hand, is ostensibly one of the only reasons we have a fighting chance but couldn't seem to give less of a shit about us as either a whole or individuals."

Is that a hint of resentment, Terrence..?
