Because Fang jumped right into insults and seemed like he wanted to give off the air that he was 'aggressive' this game. I feel when Fang is town, there's a bit of 'misunderstanding' in his arguments. Last game, I backed away from him immediately because I felt he was misrepresenting what I was saying and the amount of seriousness I was saying things with, and I realized that was something he actually believed and that he wasn't understanding the situation. Here, he knew perfectly well what was going on, but just got stuck on loop with Gram saying the same thing over and over, trying to go back to the same thing because there was nothing else to say.
Yeah, I do think I'm someone who can read Melkor decently well; remember in the DCEU game I caught Melkor right away. I do think his questions this game were honest and I think his thought process feels natural here.
