Zeno doesn't laugh very often but when he does, it's because he's pissed someone off.

"Men will go to great length to prove they're not cowards, especially if they really are."

Cigarette smoke gently drifts towards the ceiling as Zeno inhales a slow breath, scarcely even bothering to look up at whoever's talking to him. He didn't need to; their presence had itself quite known, the clone already picking up on dislike simmering beneath broad muscles with the subtlety of a rocket launcher blowing it's target to smithereens. "Interesting advice coming from fresh meat. I'm guessing you're the new asset." Zeno finally grunts, exhaling low and deep. His head turns just a fraction to observe the other man and he's not disappointed to see he looks exactly like he sounds. Brutal scars lined harsh features, making the man look every bit as cuddly as a rabid BOW. Definitely not human either given his strange scent which Zeno can pick up through the acrid tang of tobacco, noting it wasn't viral-based but still managing to carry an air of menace beyond making a few unfriendly words. He'd heard about this one from the higher-up's. Jack Krauser, the latest plaything the Connections had scraped up from fuck knows where. Either they'd pressed Jack into their service like so many others had been or he'd come willingly for money and power, either of which could be true of a mercenary like him. Zeno inhales on his cigarette again, making no effort to hide the way his lip curls in pure disdain for the other man's presence. "Just for that, here's some advice of my own. Don't start getting any big ideas around here. Right now you're a small fish in a very big pond, and there's always a bigger fish with sharper teeth just waiting for the chance to snap you right up..." With that he tilts his head back against the wall, the two clearly off to a fantastic start in their working relationship together.

Research paper. Like that, a pop! and she's as flat as a pancake. It — of course it wasn't something based in reality, most things she's come across addressing such things aren't. They're conspiracies, Internet scary stories. Chain mail. Something kids gathered in circles and talked about in the pitch of night, fear gripping their throats, even as they protest their strength. Family business arouses her interest though, because what business could possibly...?

Ohhh.

"Ghost hunters? Or, like, paranormal hunters would probably fit better. Or I can read the card you gave me and not give you hypothetical career paths."

Handyman, huh? It's a dying trade, so... that's cool, she supposes. Ultimately it doesn't suit her goal, but it's... earthly. Human. Isn't weird, doesn't involve... yeah. So, in place of disappointment, Ashley slides the card back betwixt his fingers.

But then he mentions spooky things, so now Ashley's a bit more confused. Handimen with an interest, she now supposes.

"I've less heard of them, moreso... please don't think I'm crazy."

Is this something you discuss with someone you literally just met? It's not, and Ashley knows it isn't, but nobody she's known for longer than ten minutes wants to spit out anything. Looking left, right, left again, Ashley steals the seat opposite of 'Sam,' she now knows him as, ducking low.

"Okay. Have you seen, or like heard, of undead... people? Not ghosts, but something... someone, like they're people but not, and they're - they're not... dead, but they're not living either. Heavy emphasis on the 'please don't think I'm crazy' from earlier."

Zeno was programmed to NOT be rebellious. He may desperately crave freedom but he’s literally created to be passive and obedient. When imprisoned he’s not going to violently fight back and knows that powerless he’s a dead man. He assumes that if he’s in prison that he will be executed.

That being said, Zeno is NOT a push over. He will fight if he has to and while he doesn’t have a lot of combat training, he’s extremely adaptable and slippery. If he’s threatened and pinned to a corner he’ll become extremely violent.

Zeno DESPISES being left human. He’s weak, pathetic, can’t do anything and he feels like he’s reduced to a joke. You can tell him all you want that being cured is a good thing but you’d just be enraging him more. His only worth was his powers and without them he’s a liability that will be killed off.
