Tav: Yeah but, look....
Emperor: He will kill you!
Tav: He might not!
Emperor: Then I will join the Grand Design!
Tav: Huh? Why? Just, wait and see what he says.
Emperor: No! You are stupid and I want to be with my Mind Flayer buddies now!
Tav: Draw steel, squid.
Emperor: Whoopsie, nope, gonna portal out now.

The other hilarious interpretation of this scene I saw on YT is, quote:

Emperor: "Trust me bro."
Tav: "Alright bro, but trust me too."
Emperor: "Aight bro, it was good but I gotta bounce."

This is exactly what I wanted to tell him.

Seriously, why can't we have the discussion who gets the short end of the stick with all of our companions and not just with the current party? Why are they even sitting at camp it this situation? Do they have more important things to do there? Ridiculous.
