Don't you guys think that Gerald actually Knew the party before he came in?

I mean, he could have easily stayed out of the dae, he doesn't actually need or want human company (which is his cover story), but he makes the deliberate choice to go in. He could have easily Known them without Damien knowing about it and probably did way before he ever entered.

So yes, I think Gerald was curious about Ciani (because he'd made a promise to Karrill and wanted to know for whom), but Damien must have been a beacon of...something.
