And at this point, were Hector to be there, he would probably be feeling a mixture of frustration and admiration for Thomas. He respects somebody who speaks his mind and holds to his principals, but would still rather he treat Pythia with some gentility. I think it would be incredibly awkward thing to be privy to considering his personality. That feeling where you want to punch a magnificent bastard in the face but you know he's not actually trying to cause any harm.

And then Hector would try to comfort Pythia and fail miserably with his narrow-minded world view and poor speaking skills.
