Psii had always thought Roland's odd formality was alternately endearing or entertaining, so he had never bothered to tell him it was okay to shorten his title. Sometimes he just liked to watch his human friends flounder around with troll things.
"No one ever really exthpectth what the future throwth at them, and I don't have my vithionth," he muttered evasively.
He looked everywhere but at Roland. That hesitation in itself spoke volumes about how little self-preservation he honestly had. He liked the idea as a concept; he didn't survive traveling with Alternia's most wanted troll for nothing. He took safety measures, and even nagged at people to protect themselves out of paranoia and a bad case of survivor's guilt. But at the end of the day, if it came down to his life versus someone else's, he knew he'd throw it away without a second thought....
"If I die now, Kankri ith dead meat. And I have to stick around to make sure he doethn't attack anyone elthe. Okay. I will."
It seemed Psii was racking up instances of uncharacteristic behavior; he clasped Roland's forearm and found he didn't want to let go. If Roland was following at a distance, they probably wouldn't be able to speak for a while.
"Ugh, at leatht they're feeding him," Psii finally grunted as he hefted Signless across his shoulders and stood up. It wasn't really saying much, since Psii was mostly held together with rangy sinew and sheer force of will.
