Those empty blank mask-eyes turn on Taiki as he speaks, and there's no interruption. Not til it seems Taiki and Gazimon are both finished anyway. Only when they seem finished for the moment does a reply come.
"Now," the warder begins slowly, working out his words one by one before speaking them, "I don't spend much time in the Halls of Rhetoric. Any, really. But I'm reasonably certain ... that if you're going to start a debate with someone, that you're supposed to stay on subject." He raises one index finger. "Your statement was that my people will ridicule each other over a mussed robe or off-center mask, or a height difference. Appearances. Which I simply don't agree with, as I have never observed it happening for myself, and allowed that perhaps you've seen something different in what social circles you move in."
His hands spread. "And now the subject appears to be altered to whether or not I am PicoDevimon's master, a thought which had never crossed my mind, and going beyond the original appearances to what lies beyond. If you want to start an argument with me, can we, pray, have one subject til that is thoroughly completed? As it is from where I'm seated-" In the middle of the road, at that. "-It seems you've gone looking for a ... I don't think you're looking for a debate, it seems you're seeking a fight, and when you didn't find what you sought you changed the subject so you could get angry about the new one. Which only you have brought up. And now will you become cross with your own partner for having a species designation you don't approve of? 'Virus' clearly means something different to them."
It's not really easy to tell based on his voice alone that this sudden change of topic and Taiki's irritation over his own subject annoys Erichthonios too, he's dealt with enough irritations to mind his manners in public.
"Does this make me an enemy now, because I don't agree with either the subject change or your conclusions?"
Maybe that's how Taiki keeps making 'enemies' of Amaurotines. Like dealing with the Phoinix's touchy temper, but able to verbalize it instead of simply setting everything on fire.
PicoDevimon leans to one side slowly, voice almost a stage whisper to Gazimon. "Is this sort of thing normal for Tamers? I never had one before. Think we should tell them to just fight it out like a normal digimon?"
