Well, he sort of wanted to give them pain, but that was entirely beside the point and he knew he could control his temper when he dealt with them. Mostly. "You are not a bad person, Svetlana. You're a gorgeous person. They're not. They don't love anything. Except their crooked church. They couldn't hurt people the way they do if they did. The things they did to you, to me. To Thomas and Scarlett and Nancy...to Tasha and...Robert. And they think they're right. They don't deserve power and I am going to see to it that they don't get it. They won't win. I'm going to live forever, and dammit, that's how long I'll be in their fucking way."
