[Honestly? A my bad is good enough. He doesn't want to be upset about this. He likes Agni? He wishes his plan had worked. Most of the anger is built up frustration from the way so many of these trials seem to go: other people know things that are happening, secret machinations, while the rest of them struggle in the dark. Lio knows he isn't the best planner - obviously Agni isn't either - nor the sharpest tool in the shed, but all of this week, he's wanted to help, and no one has let him offer. ]
It isn't as if-- [He huffs, pink sparks flying into the air.] I don't blame you for trying. Of course you were going to try. We all want to help you. I want to help you. I don't care if you are a god, and I am only human, this place works by making us believe we have to act alone. That we can't trust each other.
[please know that in an alternate universe jin ling could've had the flute and feather and things would be even worse. long story.]
... Well, it doesn't really matter now. [he tugs at the strands of his hair.] I used every card I had that night, so I'm not going to be of much help from this point, let alone doing anything on my own again.
The impression I'm getting tonight is that I'm actually pretty stupid?
[he shakes his head.]
In any case, it was just an objective fact. As callous as it sounds, I won't let this get to me. I'll mourn those who died, but I've had far worse failures in my life.

Bullshit. You seem clever enough. If the god of fire lets his flame go out, what is the point?
