Armande was digging for answers or was at the least testing Giovanni some way. He clearly thought Giovanni had other reasons for being down here than he stated. Of course Armande was right, but Giovanni still didn't want to reveal his hand.
The man was also learned. The questions he asked were staight to the point, but were still the questions of an interested scholar. The biggest issue being that Giovanni wasn't a sociology expert. He had heard of the philosophies mentioned, but only really recalled one: the functional. Giovanni also thought he could make a believable argument for it.
"My hypothesis is the functional perspective. As you said earlier, the people who inhabited these tunnels were driven here by governments. The flora and fauna is limited - some plants and scavengeing animals. Following Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the first thing they would need to do is establish a way to meet their basic needs - food, shelter, and water."
The duo continued walking, moving from the claw marks. Giovanni kept his eyes open looking for more things that might be out of place. Armande had mimicked the gesture that had created them, but Giovanni had the sense that whatever had created the marks was not human. Thinking of monsters reminded him of the Ijiraq he had come into contact withwhen he met, Aria, Connor, and Jensen. He was surprised to find himself hoping they were well.
Giovanni also listened. Sometimes sound was a better ally than sight -especially in the dark places of the world. Whatever made the makes could be watching them now, waiting to strike. Chances were it was used to its prey relying on eyesight, so listening will be important as well.
Giovanni continued speaking, "The need to survive would bring people together. Each person learning a specific role in order to function as a society and therefore, survive. A religion, could provide a hierarchy that would assist with this. The spiritual leaders would provide guidance and ultimately benefit the group. It could be argued that, especially if it is a cult,that the preisthood of said group could be exploiting them for their own gain,but given the circumstances, I believe survival is the more likely reason."
Giovanni paused a bit to look towards Armande and said, "You seem to be a learned man. I would be interested inyour opinion as well."
Armande's response would not only give him time to think, but would be a persoanl enjoyment to Giovanni as well. Giovanni wasn't much for chit chat, but conversations like this could be enjoyable,and it had been severalyears since Giovanni had one. Regardless of Armande's suspicions, Giovanni found himself liking the man and enjoying his company.
