As Emma and Redfill get their lovely moment together, José just step aside with an unnusual indiference coming from himself. Some time ago he would just put himself between the two to avoid a fight among family members.
He notes Dillon reprimand first to them, then to himself at the moment he closes his eyes for a second ... that's it, the tribulation is really beginning here and now ... It's easier to stand the scorn from those you dislike. Now José wished Dillon to be the stereotypical Sanctified witch hunter of Vegas, but instead the Priscus looks more like the Bahian catholic priests, very used to share the faithful in the syncretic religious scene of Salvador.
... get used to get your name pinned in the wall of shame Zé ... He thoughts not much concerned about it, anymore. Instead, the fact that Dillon also thinks that he kicked that packworked ass only due pure instinct makes him slightly shake his head negativelly ... it's amazing how everybody had underestimated that idiot. It seems that no one in Sacramento knows what a really old vampire can do ... José thinks remembering what Eve could do to Tracy if got the chance that José tried not to give to Alexander. Then his attention comes back to the room. With crossed arms, he looks to the whole scene as if it was nothing but a aquarium with two Beta fishes.
If the respectable Dillon words had not affected his expression, least the ones of the mother bitch. José watches her also poking his pride, equally indiferent to her dirty wording addressing his banishment. ... good, good at least I'm an example now ... an example to not be followed, yes, but yet an usefull one ...
Maybe noticing his indiference, Jim just took the initiative and locked the door when Dillon asked it. José looks to him and offers a smile when the Taifa come back to his previous position ... good guy, it could had worked ...
The inexpressive José remains unsurprised after the speech of Dr. Swift. Talking in public seems to be something natural to the Doc. ... yes he'd showed all his skill at the Temple already ... When Swift glances him, José remains inexpressively calm and quiet for the entire brief moment it lasts. Swift never had saw that bored face. Its very different from the usual stamped broad smile of the Brazilian. ... Eve told me everything I should know about respect. A respect learned at Scotland Highlands in a I time that even mortals could rightfully die for being "unnapropriated" ... Unfortunatelly Eve had never used the verb survive with disdain, instead she always made it a matter of pride to their blood.
Quiet, calm, inexpressive. He listens. ... what else to do? ...
