Kurloz's eyes narrowed, just a tad, and he slowly wrote:

i think you're not one of them folks who'll up and damn me so quick.

Perhaps it was insolent, but something about the way Rhys was nudging him made Kurloz feel sure that this was something he and the gigantic man could connect on. It might have been that which then coaxed him to respond to the question in a rather... incautious way. The dark little part of his mind that he'd repressed since it'd made itself known with the incident was uncurling and lazily spreading, if only for an instant.

His lips slowly spread into a small, secretive and wolfish smile, eerily similar to Rhys' own without Kurloz realizing it.
