Cleric or no, Luci still holds only a certain measure of patience. He has better things to do than get caught up in human social qualms.
He delivers the tribute.
He gets meek compensation. (not this time)
And then he leaves.
Breakfast was nice, but almost being robbed (again), having his guard be rude, ungrateful and scorn his gesture of good will before implying they were going to shrug him off onto the next person who even looks like a guard?
Tools can be made, and Luciel knows when he's overstayed his welcome.
Man or woman, humanity suffered enough of his presence for one day. All he can do is toss their pettiness back into their laps before leaving.
