It seems like Orris struck a chord, as Judex's eyes flare brightly in response to Orris' objections and counter-offer. The nebulous projection seems to swell larger in irritation before responding in its booming voice. As it speaks, it seems to contract in size - the vapors and mist themselves being consumed as it speaks.
"YOU ARE IN NO POSITION TO NEGOTIATE. MY TERMS ARE PLAINLY STATED."
It points towards Orris "THESE ARE NOT TASKS BUT SUGGESTIONS TO PROVE YOUR GOOD FAITH. ONLY THE LADY OF PAIN CONTROLS ACCESS TO SIGIL - MY POWER HAS LIMITS." The creature seems to seethe particularly after the last sentence. Perhaps that’s the wrong button that Orris pushed?
Judex draws itself up, the ceiling shuddering. "I OFFER WHAT I AM ABLE - A ROUTE BACK TO SIGIL. TAKE IT AND AID THIS SETTLEMENT, OR FIND YOUR OWN WAY."
The creature tone brokers no further argument. It has entertained Orris' objections and apparently reached the bounds of its patience. Heavy in the air hangs an unspoken threat, should the genasi continue to push back. It almost seems as if it would rather have its offers rejected outright than entertain negotiation, at least at this point.
"DECIDE WHETHER TO ACCEPT MY BARGAIN" Judex growls. "BUT DO NOT PRESUME TO COUNTER-OFFER WHEN YOU CURRENTLY HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO BARTER WITH."
