[Kadoc had chosen to respond by video, a thing he doesn't often do, for a couple of reasons: he suspects Gawain might be as bad at texting as Medea is and decided to spare him that, and truthfully, he wanted his sarcastic expression visible to begin with. Text just doesn't do tone the same way he wanted to convey it. But now here he is, trapped on video call, and there's no hiding that he makes a little sour face at the mention of being one of the original Masters selected. It becomes a somewhat extended sour face at the wishful-thinking follow up about Gareth's feelings; he briefly hides his mouth in his palm.]

. . . Trust me, I didn't get chosen as a Master because I know my folklore. That's just a hobby of mine. This is more about having gotten a certain sense of your respective personalities. That's all.
