It's quite a fun situation, the way I see it. To Cheongdo, Ian and Chris are people who would very well kill anybody they have a problem with, and they got close to doing that. But it's Cheongdo's certainty that they would that snaps them out of it. Because to them, it sounds like Cheongdo was very much expecting them to kill Karos, or wanting them to, and that's a surprising amount of bloodlust for him. I enjoy these kinds of misunderstandings.
