[It's rare that Newt will let anyone have the last word in an argument, but he decides to make an exception here for two reasons.
One, this is his lab, and he was already trying to shoo her out of it anyway. It's not like she's listening to him, and clearly she's got a skewed idea of how Hadriel works if she thinks the gods are going to give them more than a couple weeks with the fragments. Even if the gods don't reclaim them, they're not just going to sit around and wait for Hadriel's finest to do the work for them. Hell, it's a miracle they're even allowed to study the fragments before forking them over.
And two, something about that last comment unsettles him. Like, yeah, logic would dictate that it should, given that it was essentially a death threat, but he's gotten those before. No one ever means it.
He can't shake the feeling that Caedra does, though.]
Yeah, whatever.
[It's muttered half-heartedly as she walks out. After a moment or two, he shakes it off, and turns his attention back to his specimens.]
