Garrot's gaze doesn't falter, not even as the Protector goes from granting power to thinly-veiled threats. He crosses his arms as the other man speaks, but he doesn't even flinch at the final remark. The Protector either doesn't know or doesn't care who he's dealing with here, and it's offensive... to more than Garrot's pride. He's the only one Luka and Olivia trusted with this, and yet the Protector wholly refuses to trust him. But it helps something click.

"Don't worry..." Then he... smiles? Warm, comforting even. Garrot is being wholly sincere, shifting from bloodlust to peace. The Monkey Knight is calm, assured, as if he'd offer a cordial handshake under less threat-laced circumstances.

"Saving the world is in my blood." And now Garrot waits, seeing whether the Protector even knows who his father was. In the end, honoring the memory of his departed father is what matters, not inflating the ego of a grumpy old man.
