Methos would just let him think that he was an idiot who could never understand his pain and who was leaving his husband open for attack. 'Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.' He had no cause to further argue with this pathetic little man. There was no course, but the end of his life. The time for talk was over. So he said nothing.

He knew better than anyone, especially Brian, just how fleeting the life a mortal's life was and even those of fellow Immortals. But that was no reason to take the actions Brian had.

Methos took a defensive stance, waiting for the other Immortal to make his move.
