"Merlin, that's just sad. Apparently you're the only person on this bloody planet who knows of the nature of people. Congratulations for being so fucking clever that you think you've gotten us all figured out."
He moved so that Zacharias had more clear access to the exit. "I'm not going to get in the way of what you want, but I'm fairly sure that it's you who happens to be in the way of what you want--if you really know what that is."
