"Yeah, it's not good, but it's not as terrible as you might think. I've lived through a couple of rampages of the rumor dragons. I admit, this is worse than I've ever seen it. But it blows over, and if it started in Asmodeus's inner circle it stays confined to His inner circle. I wouldn't so much say that Asmodeus is overjoyed about random Thrunes knowing, as that part of tyranny is that random Thrunes get to delight in the privilege of knowing what their lessers don't. People like that, you can't tell them to just shut up about everything that's none of their business, without taking away part of their pride as tyrants above the people who just have to shut up."
"To be clear on this, I only ever played that game when I had to in order to not look stupid, and if there was ever a true word in any of it, I never repeated that part on purpose. But then pride was never one of my primary areas of understanding."
