You just told me you think stabbing someone solves all problems. If you can't imagine a situation where fighting doesn't work, you haven't thought very far.

[ Adam knows he's pushing his luck. If he gets Ivar angry enough, this could turn bad. But he's going to rely on the fact that stabbing Adam wouldn't be a smart move. ]

It's also not very smart to tell everyone who will listen that you don't have a conscience or feel empathy, then try to pretend that you care about someone. That's why your games aren't working very well.
