He didn't care what she thought of his attitude towards humans. What was starting to bother him was her sheer arrogance - she had just waltzed into this conversation, somehow managing to act like she knew everything while simultaneously demanding that it be explained to her. It had been one thing when she was just doing it casually, but now she was actually being rude about it.

"Pardon my indiscretion, but am I unknowingly speaking to royalty?" he asked. "That no one has pointed out to you the fact that you seem to speak without putting any thought into it - others must think you above reproach."

Most people couldn't tell when he was being sarcastic, but it was a lot easier to get past that barrier when he didn't care about offending the other person.

"It seems that we are having some difficulty communicating. When you said 'chaos' I thought you meant... ah, the destruction of the entire concept of civilization? But it seems that you actually meant 'a distraction.'"
