Hickey's eyes shine with the brightness and confidence that this is a wonderful plan and he's the smartest boy in the world. It's not and he isn't, but that hasn't stopped the overwhelming ego and arrogance of Cornelius Hickey before.
"Y'know how you were mad at me when I sliced my hand open? When we ran into that sea creature, Nor'pogo, back in Lakeside? Well when I dealt with that creature, Lieutenant Little was there. I knew what to do." It's a god, gods deserve tribute, this is obvious. "He didn't. Managed to keep him safe and uneaten by the beast thanks to my quick thinking."
'Hey Hickey, why didn't you tell Billy that when he got mad at you for slicing your hand open in the first place?' Priorities, okay. Sometimes the main focus is defending your actions that made complete sense and weren't ill-thought out at all.
"He knows I saved his life. And I promised him I'd keep away from Irving. The way I see it, Little's in my debt. And he's just the sort of man who won't forget a favor given."
