OCC: Sorry, it's unscrupulous not inscrupulous. It means what I meant it to mean though.
IC: With his back to Mia and Drian, Karaka does not see their dilemma. Narrowing his eyes at Chalgrish he says, "Isssolence? That iss not what I ssaid, or meant. I ussed the wordsss unsscrupulousss, intrussive and impulssive. If I understand you language, which I do believe I do, thosse wordsss mean: obliviousss or contempuousss to the correct protocol, encroching or adding yourssself unwantedly, and acting on your impulsesss insstead of thinking how to handle the ssituation appropriatly sso everyone reachesss a mutal agreement and iss at eassse with the ssituation. None of that amountsss to being issolent, which I believe YOU have done. You, after all, have been arrogent and presssumptuouss in your manner. I wouldn't go as far ass ssaying you were inssulting, but I could try and ssay you were dissresspectful. I wont though, becaussse it mattersss not to me if you were or were not. You may assk how I can ssay you were arrogent. Thiss isss the way I ssee it. 1) Before I ssaid you ssmiled. In reality, you ssmirked. The definition of ssmirk is thiss: To ssmile in an affected, often offensssively ssself-ssatisfied manner. That iss arrogent. 2) You wanted to join our group. You sstated thisss. Insstead of approching uss and awaiting for the group to take a counssel on the matter, you ssstarted making the callsss. You would not lissten, and obvioussly did not care about the way our group worksss, or what we would think of you. Mabey you thought you were above that? I don't know. It mattersss not. 3) You could not even pay full attention when addresssing Iyriusss! You fiddled with your coin. How inssolent is that? Now I would like to clarify another point that you twisssted from the truth to your perception. I did not inssult you. I threatened you. There isss a difference. And I expected no lessss than to have made an enemy by making that threat. I alsso believe that you insssulted me by calling me a xenophobe and traitor. I'll have you know I CHOSSSE to leave my people and sstudy your acurssed language to help the light flourisssh in the world. I am loyal to my people and our caussse. Lasstly I'd like to ssay that if I do ssshow inssolence, then it isss becausse of the one other factor that makess me ssee you ass an enemy. You hide your arua. The creaturess that can do that are few and far between. And only thosse who are deadly powerfull, or just deadly do choosse to hide it. And in my knowledge, only the evil have reassson to hide ssomething like their arua. Ssome animals do, sso unlesss you can convince me you are an animal of ssome kind, then I'm afraid that you will not be trussted by me." Stareing him in the eye, Karaka awaits the turn of fate that the light has thrown to him, in this odd encounter.
