[He doesn't need to respond. Chobe has nothing to prove, and he's already confirmed he has something Esikko wants. Whether that be for himself, or just to rip it away from Chobe's "undeserving" hands out of spite, it doesn't matter. He's not lying, he truly doesn't feel like killing him today. Too much to catch up on, too much to plan. He wants it to be a memorable, agonizing affair for the prince--a quick bout of torture won't do. So he should let the prince walk away, cherish those last words and eat them later. Not to mention, there's a game going on! He's having a pretty good day.
