“Want to? No. But I am a realist; I know that getting what you want usually requires giving something in return.”COMPROMISE is both an effective and unsatisfying resolution, and sometimes the only means of making any progress.“ You want me to let you do what you want, when you want, to whoever you want? Now who’s being DELUSIONAL?” Unsavoury truths are the very last thing he needs to hear right now, and spawns vexation that makes his demand cutting and concise in the midst of molten glare.“ Your life is what I’m offering you. Leave the people of my world alone, or I’ll put an END to you.”
“If we’re being very specific here, I am as part of your world as the next, Strange.” A simple point Ky knew he needed to push forward – even if it wasn’t entirely accurate. “You’re a realist and i’m a realist – you can’t protect everyone all the time and what i want is to simply do as i’ve always done.” Maybe it wasn’t exactly the best thing to say, but it was too late to correct himself now. “but let’s be clear here, yes? I don’t like you. I never have, but the only way I see the both of us coming to a solution is if you keep your damn nose out of what I decide to do, Strange.” A pause. “There are over five billion people on this planet…. i’m sure losing a few hundred to my amusement won’t mean anything in the larger scheme of things – unless, you’re willing to vouch for every single human in this world.”
