"Oh, Master, perchance thou'rt enthralled by mine coils, yes? I can show thee just how superior the Argoi are to any dusty mammal."

If chaotic smug sexual isn't a thing before this, it should be. This sounds like Argos would be a sexual tease with elegant flamboyance in contrast to Luke's crass openly sexual teasing.
That does remind me of something I have been wondering. While going through tricking Argos throughout the narrative and showing him kindness, do I detect the smallest hint of a crush he might have on the MC that he would only leave as a crush? Or am I reading too much into his admiration of a clever and kind MC?
He has a sort of hero worship/platonic crush towards the MC, mainly if you trick him often. He's been waiting his entire life to pick up his ancestor's mantle and the MC might just be the absolute perfect master in his eyes.
No matter what, however, he would only have this on a platonic level. Some things are sweeter and more precious when kept as fantasies. Assuming you've tricked him often and been a very heretical master, what Nikos has is already very dear indeed.
Those were the words I was looking for! A crush but more like platonic admiration. I think we've felt an attraction to someone based on their words and actions but it's more about the kind of person they are rather than the person themselves. You'd be happy being considered a close friend of someone like that but not necessarily intimate.
That is something to look forward to, getting to know Nikos as himself and not as Argos. Will he be a sassy tease who becomes the MC's wingman? (Speculating, not an actual question to necessarily answer.)
