[Maybe he was hoping Otegine would get the hint! Not everyone is stupid, after all.]
Of course I do.
[He's not sure seeing Otegine broken and disappointed would be as satisfying compared to someone like Cain, who strives so hard to be noble and honorable and has such lofty ideals it doesn't seem real, but...
Close enough. He's certainly close to that level.]
It's always fun to see people realize how wrong they've been all along, don't you think? Almost like seeing someone get their comeuppance.
[Because what kind of idiot would expect goodness out of Owen? Maybe Otegine doesn't know any better yet, but he's going to learn. Any good in Owen starved and died off a long time again.]
It's not a choice. You can't change what's unchangeable - you can only realize you've been blind to this truth because of your ignorance.
