In response, Gael's eyes narrowed and things began clicking into place.

his mind shifted focus, Seth's noted lack of response to his initial question was one he found quite telling. He had locked several of his tendrils of influence onto the precog and while he wasn't drilling into his mind or applying noticeable pressure, he [i]was[/i] watching very closely for responses. From what he could tell, the Precog didn't even realize just how much he had given away by not answering him outright.

After all, sometimes it was what people [i]didn't[/i] say which clued one in on what was important.

One of those details amused Gael, as it appeared that this [i]Seth[/i] character was hardly as smart as his ability might have one believe as a sharper person would have deduced a good deal from the nature of the question itself. Yet, it appeared Seth had not done so at all, instead he proceeded to, well, not truly answer his second question either. At this Gael rolled his eyes, deciding he'd meet up with the group anyways. The Precog was right on one account, he was at least [i]slightly[/i] interested. However, it was more that he'd have a better chance in a group than he would alone...at least at first.

Of course, this Seth had given him some other useful data as well. There was in fact someone pulling the strings. Perhaps being allowed to speak with this [i]Boss[/i] could assuage some of his concerns, not to mention allow him a better grasp of the group dynamic thus affording him more context to work within. After all information was power and the more he knew, the better he could slither his way into the hearts and, more importantly, minds of those around them, applying a choke hold on their will and subjugating them in the end.

The less people understood about his abilities, the better.

As he made his way for their hideout, he began looking over what he knew about his potential "team". He also decided not to say he'd join during this first meeting. He'd use this encounter to gather data first and once he had some time to think it over, provided nothing changed his mind during, he would give his response.

It was a nice feeling to have a plan.
