Yes. It is bad that was your first thought. 

Look, I simply meant that I had to put actual effort into seducing you.

I was a bit surprised by the level of effort you put into it. I thought you’d give up. It was almost...cute.

Yes. It is bad that was your first thought. 

How rude Joar. I’d at least kill you quickly.

Oh, Barid. I was going to call you if things didn’t work out with Be'lal. You must know that you will always be first on my “if I had to pick my death” list.

Wise of you. I’m impressed.

You’re the stable option, I know. But at times, I’m too easily taken to flights of fancy, such as actually being alive after the encounter, to see it.

Fair. And the idiot does under estimate his opponents...you may actually survive.

…You died at the hands of a bloody Aes Sedai who didn’t realize you were one of us?

At least I died to someone wielding the Power.

All I’m hearing is “I nearly had the forces of the Light routed, but due to my arrogance, I was killed by a primitive with a hunk of steel.”

And all I’m hearing is ‘I’m a fucking idiot who died at the hands of not one, but two Third Age ‘Aes Sedai’. You were so worthless that the Great Lord didn’t bring you back again. 

The Great Lord rarely grants second chances, I doubt he would give a third even to his most useful of tools. And if I recall, you were at Shadar Logoth as well, and nearly lost your own head.

Note the word nearly. I survived, as did everyone else. You were the only one stupid enough to die.

I think that was an abomination that you shouldn’t have created.

So I have been told. Repeatedly, by all of you. I shall reply the way I always have: Since when do any of your opinions have any bearing on my work?

Since you managed to create something that is having a torrid love affair with Padan Fain.

But that is quite literally impossible. Barid, are you drunk?

I’m not drunk, but I wish I was. No, Aginor, the bloody thing really is having a torrid love affair. I’ve had the misfortune of witnessing it. The how of it is baffling, especially since the gholam is literally falling through the darkness of skimming.

It’s WHAT?! DARKNESS TAKE ME, WHAT DID YOU ALL DO?! That may have been the last of one of my masterpieces! How could you be so careless?

We didn't due a Darkness blessed thing to it! I didn't even know it was bloody around until this lunacy started. If anyone is at fault, it's Sammael who originally found it!
