[Don't infomod, Koon's meta! All bat-based jokes must come about organically.
Anyway. Familiarity, it seems, breeds distrust. Existing (technically) in the same general area a lot of the time and sharing a lot of key brokers mostly means he's seen enough of Koon to trust him to be a sharp and slippery motherfucker and...yeah, very little else. That's practically professional courtesy at this point.]
And lose out of a front row seat to the circus? Haven't seen this many dancing monkeys since the last time it was in town.
[Do they have circuses, I'm just going to blame all my potentially anachronistic dialogue on au deterioration. Anyway, system-wide politics aren't really his style. (Says the meta, while he continues to pry anyway.) Maybe he's not quite as ambitious as some of his coworkers. Certainly might seem that way. While this can (for all he cares) come off as a general carelessness for anything other than himself, if one doesn't know where to look, it's not exactly true. His focus tends to drift to different ends.]
Don't tell me you want my help that badly, hoss, I might start feeling all warm and fuzzy.
[Or maybe Koon's just wanting for the healthy competition. He goes for the former because it's more obnoxious. He doubts the latter very much, anyway. The Nine have plenty of enemies who might want to see their outdated games of succession topple. But they also have all the money and influence in the system to wave around to get what they want. And money talks.]
spite, probably
