You should be glad that I still want to play with you after all that.
Right. Like Klavier was the one with obscene behavioral problems here. Like he was the loose cannon pushing buttons during this little game. Yes, the kid was most certainly out of his mind if he really believed that. "Your actions were far more unnecessary. I don't recall asking for a demonstration. And if you answered my questions more thoroughly, a demonstration never would have been needed in the first place." But now he was arguing logic with someone who obviously wasn't planning to follow such concepts.
The irritation had left his voice by now, but the tone was that of a negotiator trying to talk someone out of throwing himself off a building: calm, wary, alert, trying to sound reasonable and patient while remaining firm despite the strained atmosphere. "If you can't agree to that, then the game is over. Consider it a forfeit." Consider it whatever you want as long as this can be over.
He wasn't going to move to take his things back until Albedo had given a response indicating he wasn't going to stab Klavier next should he move to take the journal away.
