"Incredible," Dirk remarks without affect as the door closes.
It's not clear whether he means Hythlodaeus, Hades, or some combination of the two in interaction during that entire minute or so that just passed with him playing bystander and observer (and not much else.)
It's also not clear whether he meant for that to be clear.
There's a lot to unpack in what just went down.
Hades' fake grace and slightly frustrating attempt at amelioration following the predictable level of ridicule. (Dirk did not miss that Hades was appeasing him, but that would have been sufficient for now.)
Hythlodaeus' absolute fucking nerve--though Dirk will grant him that it was very smoothly executed. It was just so transparently premeditated that it fit perfectly in Hythlodaeus' MO.
And then Hades' sharp correction, which is where things really got interesting.
Hythlodaeus' departure was so simple that he's left tense and uncertain if he's supposed to step in somehow at this point.
He really didn't want a(nother) fucking fight right now.
