Patroclus still thought this whole war was silly, foolish even. As he saw no reason to fight and he definitely was not impressed by Agamemnon's truly lackluster show of dominance. It was sickening, honestly.

When he knew his dear... "Friend", Achilles could easily bring all these fools down to their knees before him. And some audacity Agamemnon had claiming he would be in charge of leading the armies to attack against Troy, who seemed to be everyone's common enemy as of current. He almost felt bad for those Trojan fools; almost being the keyword as his crouchyness over the fact his Achilles was no where in sight overruled any more pity he had to spare for the Trojans impending doom.
