Gregor decides, at this point, that he's definitely going to let Cordelia loose on this guy. Preferably for a week or three straight, where Jedao can't avoid her.

"Then the man you killed must have really deserved it," says Gregor, bluntly. He sighs. "You aren't free. And you'll remain that way until I'm satisfied, and I won't be satisfied until my people are satisfied. So you might as well cooperate, for now."

He has the unfortunate feeling that Jedao needs more attention than Gregor can spare. Hence his strong inclination to leave the preliminaries to his foster-mother.
