[Isaac and his little teleportation trick. It would be more impressive if Hector hadn't seen him teleport himself away countless times before.
Part of Hector thinks he should just leave, and let Isaac rot away in his castle. Isaac would be upset if he drowned, he imagines; an end to Hector that didn't involve him.
But there's the dead and the living to think of. If Isaac is left to his own devices, more people will die.]
Go on ahead, if you must. I'll be there in a few days.
[There's no smugness in his tone. It's pure matter-of-fact. Hector's not going to wear himself out rushing there, but his arrival is inevitable. Isaac can play cat and mouse all he wants. The truth is, Hector has nothing better to do than follow.]
