"When don't I?" Karla asked, grinning up to him and offering a glass of spiced rum for him to try. "I have an entire list of people who've pissed me off recently and where on that list they rank."

And also their social rank, caste, and Jewel rank in case Leto wanted to leave subtle behind and just be insulting.

"It'll be a fun diversion to see who realizes they've been insulted and then to find a way to respond that won't require me to interfere on your behalf."

Because they'd not only be insulting Leto, but a sitting monarch in his own right (even if they didn't quite understand what an 'Emperor' was). Sometimes, Karla loved politics.
