"It's true. You never had the stomach for such underhanded work," he agreed thoughtfully, reaching up to stroke his mask with clawed fingers. "It always was easier to stay in the clear and let someone else do such dirty work. I suppose you're a bit more down and dirty than you used to be, but how much it actually avails you is still up on the air." Oh, he knew Jack was effective, had enough companies whining up the food chain to know that supply chains were disrupted, operations were on their toes.
In a lot of ways, that was good for him. It took resources away from keeping an eye on him to following around where 76 was going to strike next. So, he wasn't afraid to use it for his benefit while setting himself deeper and deeper into the ranks of Talon. He needed to know where the bottom of that well went.
"I suppose that may be true, you having to live rough and hide under tree roots to keep out of the rain usually," he replied with a flippant disregard on how 'useful' that was. Jack grew up on a farm, did a lot of hunting, camping and probably sang kumbaya around campfires. "But what do all those skills really have to offer?"
