All of this... spares Erichthonios the need to explain it himself, and frankly Taiki's better at it. Whether or not his father was a renowned orator, he absolutely was NOT, among a vast list of other failings. Letting someone else do the explaining to creatures that don't seem to quite grasp some basic ideas spares him trying to figure out how to word it.
"I know some digimon that do that," PicoDevimon notes, sitting down and tucking his wings up, wriggling a bit side to side so he makes a bit of a nest in the hem of the robe. "Getting other digimon to do the hard work for them, or starting nasty rumors to get what they want." Apparently by his tone, the digimon doesn't seem to think it's a bad thing. Or that 'bad things' are exactly what he wants.
There's a little dismissive gesture with one hand, as if to literally wave off the apology. "It's better for understanding now than when it suddenly becomes a problem, I'd think." this is a safer situation to make such explanations!
Surely someone's seen Taiki's concept and approved it, it is SO out of Erichthonios' job description that he doesn't question that either. There's a twitch from the Amaurotine that suggests a wince or a flinch, but the cowl and mask hide so much. "A field of wildflowers is best appreciated at a distance, where even the multitude of colors become a unified view," he mumbles, as if that very same idea had been broached before. "But if it's all the same I've spent my entire life under watchful eyes and I'm not much fond of having them on me if I can avoid it. If I must continue to be judged I'd rather it for actions and not appearances."
