Hood leaned against one of the counters and watched Rune for as she explained just how dangerous Jaxen apparently was. The evidence was certainly hard to explain; Hood knew of all sorts of ways the melting of the lock could have been accomplished by way of technology. Hell, he'd had toys in the past that could do that very thing. Lasers, mostly.
So apparently Jaxen could do that sort of thing with his mind. Whether at will or when under duress was yet to be seen, but if it were at will, what else could he do? And was it that he COULD do such things that made him a monster, or was it that he could and didn't that made him a human? Jaxen had become slightly more interesting now.
"Best be careful how you label something a monster. Those Rougarou things. Monsters. No doubt about it. Jinn? Monsters. Jaxen? A douche. An ass. A thief. I've seen puddles deeper and more interesting then this idiot. But a monster? Fuck, kid. I can say without a hint of guilt I have done things far worse then anything that rich shit can think of in his worst nightmares."
Assassination, kidnapping, torture. He'd toppled governments, caused wars, incited riots and revolutions, slaughtered royal or presidential families.
Of course, there were a few things even he wouldn't do. Rape, for instance. Off the table. He didn't kill for the fun of it, didn't steal or burn or loot or pillage. But if there was a task to be done, he could do terrible, terrible things and sleep well at night. The ends justified the means.
So Rune didn't seem too comfortable with the idea of bad-talking this Regus fellow. Which was interesting, considering how damn outspoken she could be about such things. So maybe this Regus fellow was dangerous, or maybe she was just properly indoctrinated to the Atharim cause. "End of the day, kid you don't need to convince me. Your friends haven't led me astray yet with finding interesting things to kill, and haven't crossed any I've thought twice about yet. It's your friend here who needs the convincing, and I ain't the one that's going to do it. Not many that'll miss Jaxen, but not sure any lives'll be saved doing it."
