Sometimes I think ppl forget how powerful Armands mental powers are??? Like you could see him across a room and forget any last lover/darling you had because he has you looking upon him and has you WANTING him. He can make a vampire unable to move or speak for a long period of time if he so wishes for them to just Shut The Fuck Up. He can create an illusion for the other to imagine the two of them in a field of flowers rather than just sitting in an airplane in reality. He can sense and speak into another’s mind from blocks away in a city. Ancients who can penetrate the minds of others cant even TRY to read his thoughts. Like…this tiny lil bean sprout is packing serious power and people underestimate it because he’s young and looks too sweet/pure. Which is a common thing in the books and leaves everyone surprised when he finally gets tired of their shit and unleashes.
