John didn't miss the lack of shared enthusiasm, but although he could guess why he made no attempt to further the discussion either. He didn't particularly feel like angering the being.
His ears perked at the word "enemy", and he listened intently, trying to picture a spider running around in a costume. Then he realized it was more likely one of the 'super' humans he'd been hearing about, and shook his head to clear the more ridiculous image out.
"This place has a lot more arachnids than I realized," he looked out into the dark. He half smiled. "I probably shouldn't draw much more attention to myself, but I'll keep an eye out for him." Actively hunting and attempting to trap a hero would probably not go over well with Eric. Still, earning favor from this beastie didn't seem like such a bad idea either. "He must be very special to you if you don't just want him dead." Destroyed was such a better motivation, and sounded like a lot more fun. People were killed all the time, it was more intimate when you wanted to make them suffer first.
