His mood remained as dark as ever, though he refused to analyze the reasons behind it.

Frankly, his moods had rarely been sunshine in the past few hundred years, so he believed there was no specific cause.

It absolutely had nothing to do with what transpired two nights ago.

He had lost control of himself. When he recalled half of the things he had said, it made him grimace.
