What's a reasonable amount of time to stay angry with someone?

[ There is a fairly obvious difference between Alistair's I have a serious question voice and I am trying to cause trouble voice, for those who know him, but in this case his tone falls somewhere between the two. ]

Obviously it depends on what they've done to make you angry, so let's talk about the full range. How long can I stay angry with someone for borrowing my sword without permission before I'm unreasonable?

Or what if they left everyone I cared about to die?

Just for discussion's sake.

I don't know what you're talking about.

For the first time, I have no energy or patience to be adult enough for us both. You already know you can't just ostracize the Wardens you have a grudge against. You command them all. If you'd rather it were different, leave. I'm sure some pirates off the coast of Rivain would let you throw whoever you want overboard when you decide you've had enough.

I'm not throwing anyone anywhere or turning anyone against anyone else. I haven't even said his name. I asked a question, and most people have answered it in the spirit it was intended.

Anyway, I'd make an awful pirate.

The ones who answer to you know exactly who you're talking about, Alistair. You are giving them sanction to--

No. No, I'm not trying this again. You know you're wrong and you're doing it anyway. I wash my hands of you.

[ He is way too used to that, from people he even likes more, for it to sting. ]

Great. Have a good evening. Bye.
