“But if I find out you destroyed some world or culture that I could have found a decent meal from, well...” He produces a ball of destruction energy, letting it spin on his finger before letting it drop... only to bounce it on the toe of his shoe. “I can’t say it will PLEASE me all that much.”
He meant Earth of course, but he had too much of an image to uphold to show outright favouritism.
