[Maybe before, he would've said this with less ice and venom, and more grumbling that, while sincere, is easy enough to ignore. Rondo's clingy, but respectful; he's naive and annoying, but sincere, and willing to step up--or try, at least, which is the most Kanda would expect from a non-exorcist.
But now, it's clear from his tone that he means it. Any chips in the wall that might've been made through time and persistence have been blocked with steel, and the back off energy he's radiating is nearly palpable.]
It's not my problem if you're so stupid that you can't see the difference between this and everything else.
[He's not in the habit of explaining himself, and he has no intention of starting now; if Rondo truly wanted to know his thoughts, he thinks, he would've asked for them before he acted. And it's not like Kanda would've told him the specifics, but--well. For one thing, he and Lavi have been very open about the sorts of threats they face in his world, and how he feels about things like necromancy and resurrection. That would've been a good place to start. And maybe, with the progress they'd made, Kanda would've said... something. More than he's saying now.
But it's too late. I don't understand you, Rondo says, and Kanda feels no desire to change that.]

Get lost and don't come back. I won't ask twice.
