The Conversion? That's interesting. And so is Armand's instant reply.

Pretty sure she's a chunky paste in several different parts of the river, so, no, not at large. As far as I'm aware there's no more active threat from her, or anyone who was with her. Best guess is they were all her fledglings. I counted six, five were for sure dead when I left the scene, and the last one was in a critical state. Talamasca says they finished him off, but I can't confirm that.

Who else was talking to her about the Conversion, do you remember? This can be a question you come back later to, for the record, I'm not launching an investigation this second.

He does not send And I'm fine, not because he isn't (he is, he's fine) (he's definitely fucking fine), but because... because. Because it's Armand. Armand is comfortable putting him in fucked up situations, whether or not he's fine is a whatever.
