Question Confused since no subject + clear verb need help understand this short conversation X「もっともそれも……」/Y「だから、悪かったって」 意外と引っ張る奴だな。まさか、絡み酒ってわけでもないだろうけど。

I met this confusing conversation since the writer often remove subject or verb in his sentences, hope someone as native could help understand clearly its meaning (with full subject +verb so i can get who's talking about what here ==')

*Context: Main character (一刀) is the Master, talking with one of his female generals/subordinates 星 (this story took place during 3kingdom era in china). One day protagonist saw his subordinate 星 are talking with a cat on a watch tower. But when he come closer, the cat ran away. Therefore his subordinate 星 blamed him for having disturbed her conversation with that cat. (she like to drink also)
He asked her why she climbed up on that watch tower to talk with a cat while today is her off-duty day.
(*note: 愛紗 is another subordinate of main character. He had been transported/isekai'd from modern Japan to this ancient world, that's why 星 mentioned he came from The Capital of Heaven 天の都 - people of this ancient world thought main character is some kind of a holy being descend from the sky/heaven realm)

星「酒を倉庫に持っていく事はいつでも出来る。だが、その後見張り台に登ったところで、猫殿は既にどこかに行った後かもしれない」
一刀「途中で愛紗に捕まるかもしれないしね」
星「左様。愛紗に仕事を押し付けられる程度ならまだ良……いや、良くはないが、他国が攻めてきたとあっては、見張り台に登るどころの騒ぎではない」
一刀「……怖いこと言わないでよ」
星「天の都がどれだけ平和だったのかは知りませぬが、今のこの大陸はそんな時代なのですよ」
一刀「……そう、だね」
星とそんなことを話していると、城壁の向こうから兵士が向かってくるのが見えた。
焦ってる様子はないから、火急というわけではないらしい。
兵士A「失礼します。見張りの交代で来たのですが、登っても構いませんか?」
星「うむ。しっかり励めよ」
一刀「よろしく頼むよ」
兵士A「はっ!」
俺と星に一礼すると、見張り役の彼は星の巨大な荷物を器用に避けて、見張り台をすると登っていく。
星「……ほら。先に倉庫に荷を持って行っていれば、登る暇はありませなんだ」
星「故に、この櫓に登って猫殿と語り合う事は、先ほどの一瞬の機会にしか出来ぬ事だったのですよ」
一刀「なるほど、ねぇ」
星「もっともそれも……」
一刀「だから、悪かったって」
意外と引っ張る奴だな。まさか、絡み酒ってわけでもないだろうけど。

星「もっともそれも……」
However, it...

一刀「だから、悪かったって」
So, I'm so sorry.

意外と引っ張る奴だな。
She is so persistent.

まさか、絡み酒ってわけでもないだろうけど。

Perhaps, she might possibly be a mean drunk(I would like to think that she is not a mean drunk, but...).

can you make this translation more clear ? The writer didn't include target/subject in his sentence so i still don't understand who/what were they talking about ...

In this sentence, 星 is blaming 一刀. Because 星's important meeting with the cat was interrupted by 一刀.


一刀「だから、悪かったって」
So, I'm so sorry.


一刀 apologizes again to 星 about interrupted the meeting.

This sentence is what 一刀 thinks about 星. He think the persistent blaming may be because she's drunk.
