Darkness considers Thancred for a minute, decides this guy probably isn't any kind of threat to him - even if he had meant him harm, Darkness would like to see, uh, anyone manage to pull it off. As far as he's aware, now, he can't seem to remain dead. Well, random guy, random location, might as well make... connections.

"Well, yes, of course, makes perfect sense," Darkness says, filling the silence. He makes a show of shrugging, rolling his eyes. "I'm simply tired of these mirrors showing me... faces I'd rather not see. That one was - was downright offensive."

Yep, he's definitely just offended. That's why his heart is racing and his head is pounding and it's hard to breathe.
