"Fascinating." He replied in response to the description of Kyra. "I shall have to take note for my studies." this was thought, rather than said yet audible all the same. It took him a lot of effort to not think of the fact he was quite glad Kua didn't take the opportunity to ask him uncomfortable questions in the place he couldn't help but be honest.
When she brought up the treatment of Aleena, he snarled viciously. "Wrong! You're wrong! Them?" he said, waving a hand across all the dark expanse. "They chose this willingly. I may have... smoothed their will, but they want to be clean, to be real people! That thing? Aleena? You made it clean to your eyes, toothless. But do you know what rage stirs in a declawed housecat? How it still yearns for a claw at each point of its paw?" His face twisted in all sorts of expressions of rage, but eventually he relaxed. "That pet of yours will one day return to its wild nature. But I am done caring, it isn't on my consciousness, I have enough burden to my virtue as is."
Still, he was quite mollified when she said she will do what is needed. "As long as the light doesn't get any dramatic ideas about mercy on the day I come face to face with my mistress, I believe we are of accord."
Laszlo raised a curious eyebrow as Kua spoke of potential aid from the faceless, and gave a very resigned sigh as the half-elf spoke of her personally desired changes. It seemed his very specific code wasn't getting through, and thus he relented. "Yes, I can. If you find me one of those lizards, and something that makes a good deal of blood. Most of these things, I do not make by my own hand. Its much too difficult. I consider myself learned, rather than particularly intelligent. "What... what are you... what are you doing?" he said as Kua did her gesture, but then shook his head. "Enough, I believe I showed what I had to.
With a jerk his tentacles turned back to fingers, and unwrapped from the two people they were upon and again there was the world of sun, salt, sea. Once more a human form returned to his fingers, and he clasped his hands together with a smile. "I have had an enlightening discussion with dear Kua and have learned much! I would like to extend my sincerest apologies for my uncouth presentation prior, and I hope Kua can corroborate that these folk are not in fact slaves, rather charges I am dutybound to. I believe we have come to the agreement that we had a misunderstanding, and that ultimately we are comrades of one struggle."
