Jack's face perhaps didn't fully read the expression. Social queues were not his strong suit. The words made him smile wide. Maybe he didn't need a daemon contract. For now. He had robots he could use as minions. Maybe, if he learned enough about the contracts and runic magic, he could bind daemons inside his robots instead of making a deal.

Use them like magical batteries. Oooo. He was almost giddy at the idea.

"I think you're on to something there. Thanks!"
