Kai resists, barely, from rolling his eyes. "I am not taking you hostage," he says flatly, because that sounds like a recipe for disaster in more ways than one. He's sure Ramad could get out of many a binding, so really they'd just be taking him with them without even the pretense of him being a helping hand like before. Not to mention there is no real proof of what Bashat did, given that 'what he did' was mostly 'allow an already existent plot to happen'. Sure, being a demon and the Witch King would grant him some leeway in places, either an assumption of him being all knowing or of being unstable, but he really does not intend to keep playing in that field.
He also just... is very cool on the idea of vengeance. He used to live for it, during the war. There was nothing else to live for, at the start of it, other than making Hierarchs pay for his torment and the deaths of all his people. But such a flame is short lived, and he knows better now what kind of emotions better keep the fire alight.
