[Gods, Rembrandt is terrifying. He is the last person Iago wants to make an enemy of.]

You're right, I wouldn't.

[That gets him to settle and he shrugs a bit.]

As much as I would like that vengeance, if I can't see it, it's certainly not worth my soul.

[He's not entirely clear on exactly how souls work and all that, but he's pretty damn sure giving up his soul means giving up a shot at whatever afterlife the ghosts have and he'd rather not risk erasing himself entirely just to screw Rideaux over.]

Rideaux's suffering would be worth quite a lot to me, but not that much. And again, this was all hypothetical, since I doubt he'd be stupid enough to kill me right now.

[A couple more weeks and maybe he'd need to be worried, but it sounds like things are going to end soon anyway.]
