He wasn't sure what to expect, given the circumstances, but being flung down to the bed as Phillip sits up in shock and some amount of horror isn't one of the things he would have put on the list. He's not moved by whatever combination of anger and hurt Phillip is levelling at him, but he doesn't look like he's going anywhere, either, doesn't rise to the level of emotion he's putting into it. He doesn't want to fight Phillip. He doesn't understand why the Ascians are doing what they are doing, and he doesn't like killing what he doesn't understand, would prefer to not have to kill any of them. But they all speak in riddles and hurt the people he loves, and he will never stop opposing that.
"Are you certain? At least four others have certainly tried their hardest, by their own hand and by others," that's... a very large number for him to still be here, which says at least a little something about how those encounters must have ended. "Lahabrea, in particular. He took over the body of a dear friend of mine," there's something exceptionally pointed in those words, though he still seems entirely relaxed, in comparison to Phillip's tension, "and so I put him back on the shores of the aetherial sea. Nabriales killed another friend, and so I ended him as well." There's something to the difference in wording there, but he's not about to get deeply into it if Phillip doesn't know what the Scion's have been researching.
