Elliott considered the offer. It definitely was tempting, given that his entire life had been uprooted by the sudden incursion of Sinners. The fact that this man was dangling another thread of employment in front of him was almost too good to be true, were it not for the fact that there was absolutely just cause in forming a faction at the moment.

He shrugged, shaking Ika's hand. "Sure, I don't mind. No where else to go anyway. Just FYI, I'm a cybersecurity expert and penetration specialist in addition to what I can do spiritually, so if you need some espionage, keep in mind I may be a valuable resource." Just to demonstrate the ability, Elliott allowed his body to change, becoming a perfect imitation of one Denver Max, who he'd seen from no less than 100 feet away. "It's not something I generally advertise, but this is kind of a special case." He returned to his original form.

He was completely unperturbed by Ika's reaction to his transformation, to a degree savoring his surprise. He didn't really linger on that though. He shrugged and ran a hand through his hair as Ika asked him to come with him. "Sure." He followed Ika, hoping that the trip to Bogota wasn't quite as jarring as what he just experienced.

In the end, he supposed that he'd gotten a fair deal. While he was annoyed that the nice life he could have spent with the Committee was suddenly taken away, he got out in a much better situation than most. A thought passed his mind--a little hope that Haru made it out. As the only other person in the Committee he'd come to know in the short time he spent there, he didn't know what he'd do if that piece of eye candy perished.
