Kincaid had been tempted to tell him that it wasn’t that hard to thrall someone into doing what they already wanted to do, but bit back on the sarcastic comment. It was amusing and all, but not productive.
Wait, Sorry. Get back to me on that. It's amusing as hell that Justin's turned Elaine's emotional dependence on him into sexual assault and mindless obedience?
Oh, I see you have chosen to make Kincaid an evil asshole. That's interesting.
DA. I think it's likely that Kincaid's entire moral code is about 10 feet to the left of the standard decent human being's. I can see Elaine's suffering being irrelevant to him, but Justin's arrogance being amusing. It's not evil with malice; he just has no reason to give a fuck.
(random anon) I saw the comment as pointing more towards that she's taking to dark magic more than Harry.
But weeell, yeah. Cannon!Kincaid's an amoral near-immortal killer for hire. He probably practices selective empathy and Elaine is not on his radar as one of his.
He's been around the block a couple of times, has seen a lot of evil shit and has probably done a lot of it himself. Kincaid is not a nice man just because he's Ivy's bodyguard.
um, ok, wow. Apparently I turned Kincaid into more of an asshole than I meant to.
What I meant to say was that Kincaid was amused that Justin thought Elaine was "weak in the mind" because he could thrall her with such ease, and hit a brick wall with Harry. He was amused because Elaine wasn't "weak," it was just that he was attempting to persuade her into doing what she would have done anyways, and Harry had enough shields that a fae would have to work to thrall him into doing what he didn't want to do.
I meant Kincaid to be more amused by Justin's attempting to impress Kincaid and failing (because he example was stupid) than with the situation Elaine was in. I'm going to have to follow the other anon's there - I see Kincaid as being sort of indifferent to Elaine, because she just doesn't register to him the same way Harry does. And yes, that makes him a bit of an asshole, but not as much as being amused by her pain.
Umm... hopefully this makes sense. I'm a bit distracted at the moment. Just got off work not too long ago.
