Despite the brief tightness of his jaw, his smile hasn't slipped, and he gestures broadly as he speaks, "she'll find ways to move against you without breaking your agreement, and when you retaliate you'll seem unstable and vicious like she's always claimed you are."

Beyond that, this has little to do with the offer on the table I suppose."
