Jacinda couldn't help but raise an eyebrow a the back of the girl's head. She seemed to be needling Barovsky. She smirked and shrugged. No wonder Barovsky seemed perpetually pissed. In hindsight, the assignment to kill Ascendancy was pretty obviously one of those time-honored things where a superior got rid of an annoying underling. Sometimes it worked...and sometimes it backfired, if the underling was particularly resourceful. Be interesting to see how that worked here.
What peaked her attention was the claim to have sneaked into Ascendancy's living quarters. And she had a plan? For Regus? Jacinda smiled at that thought. She wanted in. It was why she'd come down in the first place.
But she had learned enough to not ask straight out for it, at least not yet. She'd gotten into the Archangels that way, but the Regus had made it clear that only barely tolerated that kind of....ambition. She'd have to think of another way. Barovsky didn't trust this girl in the slightest...perhaps she could use that.
He rose and drew her into the hallway. His irritation was still there but Jacinda knew it was not for her- at least mostly. She smiled. "I can see why she annoys you."
Not really, but she didn't want a fight, at least not right now. Too much was going on. "So anyway...the announcement of his Royal Douchiness, outing himself. I had come down to see if you were planning a mission to take him out. It seems like what the Archangels are for. I wanted you to know that I was up for it. If you are going to take him out, I'm sure you can use all the backup you can handle."
She paused, though not enough to allowi him to jump in. "But something came to me as you were talking to the girl."
She looked around and lowered her voice to a near whisper. "I know the girl is sentient, but it got me thinking. If there are Atharim who are sentient, then there is a high probability that there are Atharim who might be reborn gods. Not just related to one, like the guy who was executed by the Regus at the convocation. Actual reborn gods. Probably not many, but still. We should do something about that. Keep an eye out for anyone acting suspiciously or doing things they shouldn't."
A thought occurred to her. "People who are too lucky in their job."
