Azoth was glad Ise did not take offense about him forgetting her impairement, as he meant his later reaction to be a compliment. The energy she was emmiting when she confirmed her intention of surprising him was inspiring to say the least, now he wanted to see just how strong she could get if, knowing from her father just how strong Arcosian were, she believed in her chances to beat him, he himself couldn't help but doubt that she would oppose much of a force if he only turned into his Knight form. Of course, the great ape was another question all together, he had never seen those before.
Now, there was some interesting ideas behind Ise's answer at to what she wanted to do with her life. Behind the shrug that she gave conflicted with the important information she had half-revealed. Now, perhaos Azoth did this by malice, curiosity or even honestly, since he had already figured out, or at least had an hint, that Hibernal planned to become the next emperor, especially with what Ise was 'not' saying, but words left his lips before he really calculated all the possible outcomes of it.
'' So, Hibernal is planning on retiring soon ? Go figure, even heroes of war must get old at some point. There is certainly a spot of honor for him, perhaps by forming the future imperial guard ? I'm sorry if I'm grasping as straws here, but me and many others would have loved to gave him as a strategic or history of war teacher back then. ''
If Ise hesited to answer to it, or reacted poorly, then it would be all but confirmed. There was only 2 path foward for Hibernal in his position, retirement or royal ascendance. If Ise did spill the bean directly, then Azoth would perhaps feel less awful about figuring it out with what she said earlier.
