"Too right," he mutters. "I mean, I still don't know what they were trying to - to - just -" He makes a frustrated, jerking wave of one hand that summarizes very little other than his own complete exasperation with being unable to understand. "When someone has the power, you know, the power to intervene and, and change things for the better but then - doesn't. Doesn't that make them, on some level, responsible? Someone who can change things but elects not to and - it just - it's frustrating, it really is."
He shakes his head, chewing on his lower lip furiously. He didn't fully intend to break off on a self-righteous tirade against the beings that wouldn't care about his opinion of them one way or the other, especially in front of a stranger to whom the whole thing probably seems tangential. So he returns to his jumbled Latin text, quietly trying to burn off some of that vicious, spiking outrage.
