Likewise, Tiir scoffs at her words. He has no particular grudge against her, and he's trying to move past his hatred towards humans—but she's an obstacle, so it hardly matters either way.

"I'm afraid I don't care much for accepting my opponent's mercy," he says nonchalantly, appearing as at ease as ever. That said, there's a certain sharpness in his expression that indicates that he has no qualms about killing her either, even if not in a "torturous fashion". Really, that's more effort than he cares to put it in for an enemy like this.

Tiir would move to attack, but when Eridan begins using magic, he steps back. After all, it would be rather counterproductive to absorb his ally's magic when it's not aimed specifically for him. He'll have to wait for a chance to attack.
