[ This is almost like talking to Istredd, for better or worse. Kahlil nods slowly. He lets this drop too, not wanting to give more up about what he learned about the Nether if Ambrose somehow doesn't around know. ]

If I thought you were a fool I wouldn't be here asking for answers - [ a conceding tilt of his head, he knows what it's like to live in a dying world, and to take reckless action to try to do his duty - ] - but I won't take up too more of your time.

[ He seems genuinely surprised that Ambrose believes a Summoned responsible. His brow furrows. ]

I guess that's a possibility - but given how well you keep things locked up feels a bit hard to believe. You've kept me out of all the places I would like to go.

[ No point in lying about that. It's only half bragging. His expression remains serious either way. ]

And you've also hobbled the powers of Summoned much stronger than me. Wouldn't it be more likely that another power was responsible? Ikorr thought their vaults unbreakable.
