[No he did not need his permission to hate him. But it was hard to maintain outrage towards a man who's face he didn't recognize, who's deeds he'd felt and witnessed but never seen him carry out himself. Solus had already been an old man by the time the duelist first picked up his rapier, he'd never so much as even heard his voice before now.
There were so many degrees of separation to work through, far easier to hate what was essentially just a concept than it was the man himself, in this sense. ... It didn't help that Emet wasn't doing anything particularly hateful right now either, quite the opposite in fact. Nothing he said was really stoking the fire of rage, in spite of the casual reassurance that the other man would most definitely find a way to piss him off.]
...If I may posit, it isn't a problem that needs to be solved. I'd vastly prefer not be angry at all. ... Though I'm aware of naivety of asking an Ascian to not be intentionally antagonistic.
