Kell nods. He's not trying to deprive the man of his chosen role. Slightly impressed by Istredd coming prepared. Maybe a bit more than slightly. Practicality is not his strongest suit. He can plan. It's the details that are way too often lost on him.
"I am used to it myself, I just hate it." Kell gaze wanders over the screens to all the people socializing, before looking back at Istredd. "I'd rather be anywhere else, but this is important. It's worth the discomfort of having to go through the same small talk a hundredth time in two hours."
Kell is intentionally exaggerating. He hasn't spoken to more than ten people until now. But he's willing to power through if that means the new Summoned aren't left to deal on their own, or worse turn to Thorne authorities for support.
