Giovani didn't really have the extra space to pay attention to him after that original glance, but Damien was still smilingly watching the proceedings from the side.
'I didn't think it'd turn out like this when I brought Nikolas. I was really preparing for a direct confrontation with the order, but it's good that it turned out this way instead.'
It really wasn't, but he was telling himself that to feel better.
Honestly, Damien didn't care much about the traitor. He hadn't been with the palace for very long, so he didn't feel any sort of connection with the people there aside from those who were family yet:
He was building that connection with the Swords that remained, but the rest of them were just strangers to him.
Why would he care about a stranger?
Giovani was just a target for elimination in his eyes, and since he brought a weapon to do the eliminating part for him, he didn't have to pay it any more mind.
