[ In Horos, there had been a few people that were surprised that Sebastian was a Celebrant. For what that Legacy was meant to represent, it certainly didn’t seem like a good fit for him. His perfect principles, his lack of enjoyment of vices, they just really didn’t lend themselves to being a pleasure-seeker.
At least, if your pleasures were conventional.
There indeed may be no use to a soul to Silco, and further, the gravity of the consideration may not even apply here in Kenos… But that’s fine with Sebastian. Perhaps it’s a deal that’s indeed more favorable to a human when his own world and realm was gone. It’s just the consideration that matters, as it’s moments like this that are a demon’s hedonistic delight. ]
I am. It is not something I am in a hurry for, as they are not something I need terribly often, but I am a bit greedy in my own way.
[ He laughs pleasantly as he shifts in his posture, since now that he knows that the matter of the “wage” isn’t a problem, he can get to business. At least in his own world, it was the wage that caused people to lose their composure, after all. But if you’re a less religious sort, then indeed, the potential gravity of the price isn’t so much of a concern. ]
This is also a rather unique situation to find myself in, I admit. I have never been the one to approach someone myself to offer a Covenant, as the rules that separated my realm from humanity’s simply made that impossible. [ Just that fact alone also makes it a better deal, to be honest. Without needing to offer a sacrifice to call him forth, it’s practically a bargain, he might joke, but he doesn’t want to oversell it. ] So given a choice of who I might serve, well… Do pardon my presumption, in part, but your ambitions tend to involve the sort of work I very much enjoy.
[ Sebastian shrugs, languid and easy. Even if it’s implied, he does know this particular dance well. For someone that craves power in the way that Silco seems to, there’s a further temptation that comes with just stating it plainly. ]
Would you be interested in forming a Covenant with me, Mr. Silco? [ He pauses intentionally to let it sink in, but after it, his tone does lighten to add: ] You needn’t give me an answer at this very moment, that said. There is no rush. I can also answer any questions you may have, as such.
