Void Fairy
Ryu blinked at this reaction as though he was shocked and confused by it. If Ailsa and Yaana didn't know better, they'd really think that he was just an innocent bystander asking questions that were just as innocent. However, it was simply too clear to them that Ryu was only here to stir trouble and his question was anything but that.
Not only did Ryu expose the scars of Ramir's branch of the Hastam family, he essentially slapped Ramir's face. If his question was rephrased in the crudest fashion possible, it would read: 'You aren't powerful enough to win anyway, so why are you wasting everyone's time?'
Maybe in another type of society, Ramir's guts would be praised. After all, wasn't there something to be said for 'trying'?
