He is fully aware of the impact his words are having and carefully measures his approach to avoid triggering Worf's protective instincts.

Feigned warmth masking a calculated strategy to gain Alexander's trust and align him with Klingon cultural expectations.

Projected as coldly determined—his invocation of ya’nora kor is a calculated move to force Worf’s hand, revealing his belief that Alexander’s upbringing is a matter of survival for the house. His absence makes him a specter of Klingon orthodoxy.

Projected as a source of external pressure and danger. Worf’s voice betrays doubt when he claims Kurn would not vote against him, suggesting K’mtar’s influence is already eroding his confidence.
