[It would be too much to ask to just be told what he has done wrong, wouldn't it? He eyes the room, but settles only on Sauron staring past the herald and ignoring every wolf and vampire whose eyes are fixed upon him.]
As my lord wishes. [Did he expect him to protest? To riot? His gaze lowers only so he can pick up a weapon. Two, in fact, two matching swords that he spins easily in his hands as he checks the weight of them and then when he turns to the orc he is as quick as a viper as he lashes out and stabs him in the stomach, ripping the sword upward as he imagines that instead of one of his children (he is sure they will be his) that it is his master there instead. The orc crumples to the floor, blood spraying him.
Doesn't want to kill them and cannot are not the same thing.]
