Rhy always says that he, Kell, has one face for the people he cares about, and a completely different one for everyone else. That it is true does not make Kell more likely to protest whenever he hears it. But it is... true. He's unusually expressive with Jayce, to the point he has to stop himself, because making faces at head of the council and political figure could be hurtful. As if he was making fun of things that Jayce treats very seriously. So no matter how much he despises such terms, the weight and the meaning they carry, Kell refrains from commenting.
"They would do well remembering that you are human, and whatever your reaction was - exaggerated or not - was caused by an indiscriminate act of violence done, even if not directly to you, then to people close to you. I doubt either of them would have shown much restraint in your place."
Kell lets out a sigh. That didn't sound very genuine. Or even what he actually meant.
"I'm not trying to excuse you, Jayce. I just think you batter yourself too much over what was clearly an accident, and one that you regret."
A tendency he's overly familiar with himself. Kell has done his share of shady. Sometimes for not necessarily great reasons. He has a metaphorical closet full of regrets. While going back in time and fixing those blunders remain out of his reach, it doesn't mean he feels good about it.
"Interesting. I thought it was just a strange custom, and not a necessity. That would explain why I've never heard about them before. They might even be wonderful and peace loving people, but I doubt anyone in Thorne would be happy to have them as neighbours."
