"What's so special about his tone I don't really get...He's just a little colder and maybe derisive."

Exactly. The Outsider doesn't emote much, so when he does, it very much means something.

"I thought that *interesting* about Jessamine's death was consequences. Which affected everyone.  It's not about her being an Empress (remember how Daud said he'd killed nobles before? And how they were all the same) She was special. Without her, everything is falling apart. It's about killing a really good person,and what's more important - a good person with the power to change things."

Yes, I know that she's special outside being just an Empress, but the reason why is speculative at this point. Personally, it seems to me that Daud had plans for her and Emily, but now his old toys are breaking his new ones and he's not very happy about it. I believe that's why he's sending Daud after Delilah, to mitigate the damage that's been done so that at least Emily is around. But that is also just speculation--my guess is we'll learn the answer in The Brigmore Witches.

"Well,not helping,but I can't find a better word. The Outsider himself said it was a gift so..."

I dunno man, pretty backhanded gift. Daud says he can't abide a mystery, which the Outsider knows, so really it's like saying this is Daud's last chance not to be a total screw-up.

"I don't know if you should change it or not. I'm just speculating. It's interesting to read another explanation."

That is true. Fruitful discussion is always good!
