Istredd observes him quietly and lets him say his piece on the subject. "There are times when having an opinion from someone outside of a situation can be illuminating. I know it's helped me before." And it isn't like Istredd always enjoys it. There are times he's been very annoyed when someone points out something he doesn't want to acknowledge. Just ask Lucifer, often the source of him getting grumpy about apt observations. But they've always helped him see things more clearly.
Kell may not be able to do that presently though. He is still very young. He hasn't gone through decades of experience that makes someone more open to outside perspectives. Sometimes a person gets more defensive and incapable of change with time, but for the wise, it's the opposite.
"But if this is how you feel, I can't change that. I just want you to be happy, Kell." But Kell is not happy. Istredd can see that clearly. That could be for any number of reasons but it is not his place to try and control how that happens. "Never forget that I care for you."
