Kadaj hadn't been on his way to leave, and in fact hadn't been intending on leaving her at all (alive, at least), so he was a little surprised to see her appear in front of him again. She was very persistent... and still annoying. He moved away from her again, circling her slightly. It was hard not to be irritated at her now, with Mother still fresh in his mind. She'd be so disappointed in him if she knew he had spent his time on this pointless quest. He'd have to kill Ai as soon as possible to make up for it.

"I already let you try," he said to her, smiling at her desperation. It was just so funny. "I'm sure you were trying your hardest too-- you want me to stay around, be interested in you, things like that-- so there's no reason for me to believe you. Besides, I doubt you'd want to do what I want you to anyway. Destroy Paixao... or at least use your abilities to lead the way to Mother. Would you be willing to do that?"
