[Fenris had been still before, but it was a vague thing, semi-relaxed. At ease, if you want to be all military about it. Now, though he hasn't moved an inch, he's gone stiff. Wary, his muscles all coiled tight, his fingers curling against the table's surface. He wishes vaguely he had his gauntlets on; they aren't necessary for killing this man, but they're comforting.
Because sure, he's angry and horrified and (quietly, terribly) vindicated by that speech. It confirms every awful thought he's always had about mages, but on the other hand, what had he expected in actual, literal hell? No, this isn't about being enraged or insulted.
This is about fear. There just for a moment, barely visible and hastily hidden, but there all the same, slicing coldly through his heart, making his breath catch. Danarius had no need to control Fenris through magic, but he'd certainly threatened it more than once. And that's to say nothing of what Fenris had seen him do to others . . .
But this man no longer has his magic. He is not Danarius. And Fenris will rip his throat out before he allows him to degrade or humiliate him.]
Your targets.
[Explain is pretty much the underlying message there. But then, context clues:]
You murder people for sport? Or merely use your magic to torment them?
