'Indeed, this debate was never going to be simple.'
His expression clear, Iapetus was surprised for just a moment before he found the situation unsurprising.
Zeus altering the debate topic before didn't seem to be his main goal, that was at best a side objective; he certainly had other ideas, and the arrival of Zephyrus confirmed this.
But all these were internal affairs of Olympus... Dividing his attention in three, Iapetus couldn't help but counter:
'I see, someone is waiting up there above the assembly, but what does that have to do with me?'
Indeed, both on the surface and in essence, the arrival of the God of West Wind had nothing to do with him.
Even though through Andrea's mouth, Iapetus had made many a statement that clashed with the Divine Court's harmony and values, for a Primordial Titan, he shouldn't be so troubled over a debate in the mortal realm as to provoke the Divine King's censure.
