Maybe this is why he's a man of mystery - nobody can figure out what he's talking about. Very mysterious.

"You want to tell me what any of what you just said actually means?" he asks, somewhere in that thin boundary between patient and irritated. Some people resort to jokes to cope, he understands that. Others probably genuinely do think themselves above the kind of major disaster they're facing, thanks to their remarkably worldly experiences. And then there are people who are just assholes. Rosinante is patient, but not endlessly so.
