"Not going to debate that given what I've seen of you two."
The switch was mildly concerning. Anyone John had seen shift that fast had been fellow conmen, possessed people or those deciding to drop the game in order to get down to business. Which technically could also be the first. Technically. Or all three.
And a pretty face, pleasing as they were, often had bad things behind them. But damn if he wasn't a sucker for them.
"Just repeating what others tell me. I'm not that interesting, Mr Grand Mage of Ireland. Just me. Exorcist, demonologist and petty dabbler in the dark arts. You're far above me. But I have to wonder what a Grand Mage who was in this suicide squad with Soul-Shiver is doing as a houseboy for him. I've heard your excuse, and I don't know if it works for me, mate. Not all of it adds up for me, especially with Room 24."
John hated feeling around in the dark for a clue in something, when he couldn't draw a line from A to B. Coincidence was the enemy. He was here. Why? Why in this place with people who seemed high up on the power scale. Mentioning Room 24 was a last ditch to try and get a response from the other man.
