Son of a bitch. You can surprise Armande. He made no outward sign of his shock, but the emotions that John sensed said otherwise. Outrage, contempt, disappointment, and deep contemplation. At one point he almost seemed pleased when he looked at the last creature in the cabinet. What was that thing whose death would please Armande over all the others? Again Armande's control impressed John.
Armande drew himself up and actually managed to look more regal than normal. Quite a feet unto itself. He gave a sales pitch. He wanted John to help finance his secret society. Probably just a way to both keep tabs on John and to keep him occupied and out of the way. But to John it was a way to enable him to get better prepared for the coming war.
John knew himself to be an unconventional unorthodox eccentric psycho, and he had the opinion that Armande must be a little off also. "We didn't stumble, the creature was the target. That was my initiation. I have been involved in hunting these monsters for a little over 10 years now. My successes have been limited by my lack of knowledge of my enemy."
"I will happy to aid you in hunting evil. But I have no intention of getting involved in political or religious disputes. The Ascendancy is, I am sure, as close to a monster in human form as one can get. I am not interested in hunting others of his kind unless they are evil. I am not interested in aiding a genocide. I will start by donating one million dollars to your society. More funds will be distributed as I see how good of a steward the Atharim are with my contribution."
