"Armand, we're apex predators," he points out flatly. "Pretty much anythin' we do to mortals is us abusin' our power over 'em. An' readin' yer heart sounds a hell of a lot more invasive than just readin' yer mind."
He does smile slightly at that. Of the many new phrases that have come into fashion 'apex predators' is one of the ones he likes. He tilts his head. "There is no difference there between heart and mind." He wasn't trying to rephrase to make Marius sound better, as he doesn't think there's anything to excuse. He just has a touch of the romantic to him, despite his usual detached manner. "He understood what I meant, even though it took longer for me to learn the correct words."
