"When you regale your companions about how you boldly stood up to the evil Ascian, make certain you mention where you could not even answer why your enemy should tolerate your deliberately spiteful and provocative presence, and refused to desist when warned away.. more than once." There's fangs in his friendless smile, the barest tips of razor teeth. It's a threat. "And be certain to mention the dire threats against you, which can only come to fruition if you continue to annoy your so-terrible foe, who has in his vast litany of crimes done the great and truly unthinkable wrong of telling you to go away."
It's not attracting trouble when she's going out of her way to find it, and then pokes at it til it explodes. If he's supposed to be intimidated by her counter-threat, she's clearly not been paying attention. All of that is utter bullshit after all.. no matter how much potential evidence there actually was for their inevitable complete defeat, and the death of Nabriales a consequence of his own foolishness. There were other Nabriales to be found and raised up. The rest was simply impossible.
"Which of course may only happen if you cannot manage the simple courtesy of ... staying away from one who wants nothing to do with you and your foolishness. It is truly a grievous sin against you, is it not? May the knowledge that you are surely justified in your idiocy comfort those left to deal with what remains afterward. Mistake me not, Warrior of Light. It is a threat. Continue to go out of your way to inflict your presence upon me, and there will be repercussions you have brought knowingly and willingly upon yourself."
The only problem is .. he's not leaving. She approached - she can damn well go away. But he's made his warning as absolutely clear as he possibly can. If Irhya keeps provoking him, keeps bothering him when he's been nothing but excruciatingly obvious about his lack of interest in being around her, then she has nobody to blame but herself when it goes awry.
the downsides of BOTHER ME EVEN THOUGH MY CHARACTER DISLIKES YOU
