Armande's eyes did not leave Yoshimura. Somewhat better, he thought. Not completely honest, but closer. The man circled around his goal, orbiting it as the moon did the earth, careful and reserved. He was aware of the Japanese clan that Yoshimura was from. Tradition ruled. And honor. They lived simply, eschewing many of the trappings of modern life. In some ways, that was good.
Yoshimura would not be Jacinda Cross, bending a stiff neck to work with others and follow his orders. But that did not mean there were no impediments. And the First Order of the High Canticle was the foundation, the bedrock upon which the others would be built, upon which their mission would be carried out.
He looked to his terminal and with a few taps brought up the man's record. It took only seconds to scan it and commit it to memory. He was impressive, that much was clear. His gaze returned to the younger man, searching.
"Your...exploits are commendable," his choice of wording deliberate. "You get the job done. It is clear you find honor in your work." He tilted his head slightly. "You put down a fellow hunter when you realized he was a reborn god. And then his brother, though he displayed none of the same traits. How do you reconcile your actions and your honor?"
