Hmph! Titles here are worthless. Futile, trivial words scrawled on parchment. Merely thinking of them insults me.

[Granted, he needs little provocation to feel insulted.]

Why do you regard their distinction as an accolade worthy of merit?

It has been most instructive as to the nature of your kind that you salivate like mongrels and chase subordination and not independence.

[There is an embittered sigh.]

Do you not entertain any notion of loyalty to your native land? Your eager willingness to chase glory is abominable. Hm. It is useless. You should close your mouths and remember where you come from.

That is true only if others are not working against you.

Hard to control the narrative when you have enemies, is it not?

[owarifool]

hardly

control ur enemies too

make sure the version of u in their head is the one they fear the most.

[leitstern]

That is easier said than done when one's enemy possesses the intellect of an ostrich.

[owarifool]

thats ur assumption to make and couch ur tactics in, but i never made a habit of underestimating how wily any of my enemies could be.

but also, intellect is a crutch anyways. a Fool isnt chained by common sense, and those who fight a Fool's war have a way of terrifying those that stand against them, given we disregard anything they hold sacred about battle.

[leitstern]

Perhaps that rule governs your world more than mine. The greatest fool I know is chained by his own common sense. I should not claim he even possesses a shred of guile. I hate to see it, honestly.

[owarifool]

so u get it, right?

so then u can see how it could be useful to weaponize that against ur enemies, to keep them guessing, make them make assumptions about u

[leitstern]

You hardly need educate me about strategy, friend.

It is my trade, after all.

[owarifool]

a tactician? cool cool cool.

a shame i already have one of those.

[leitstern]

How wonderful for you.
