Ghoul's humor is incredibly untrustworthy, unfortunately for Cole. Chances are, if he finds it entertaining then it's probably really, really stupid. Case in point, really.

This agreement they've reached is acceptable, though, and he nods. He'll remember the terms for sure. One doesn't simply forget such a stroke of genius, even if the next event is in four years or something. "Okay, if I'm not dead then you can do it. But if I am dead, I'll fuckin' fight you." This is reasonable.
