[ Sebastian’s cool smile turns pensive as Vander admits that there’s similarity between them, but it does lighten briefly into recognition as Vander says “Piltover”. He softens the surprise, but that’s absolutely something he’ll circle back to. It’s interesting and ironic that he would run into people from Silco’s world now, but delightfully so. ]
It may be a rather depressing thought, but I suppose people are people with all their strengths and flaws, no matter the world. Greed is difficult to escape, and with power, it always crushes those underfoot.
[ His tone is reflective, but it’s also in a way that might hit Vander’s ear as slightly odd. He speaks about it with confidence, but there’s a dispassionate distance compared to Vander’s bitterness. After all, Sebastian knows the phenomenon well. The greed of humans was the vice he preyed on most, so he’s witnessed this cycle in localized scale countless times. Being what he is, there’s no sentiment about it on his side, though.
His tone does rewarm, though, so it might just come off as a coolness from how dim a topic it is. Sebastian gives a friendly smile, and as he moves the topic away from dim reflections on the nature of man, a bit of humor comes with it. ]
Though I have met people from your world, so I have heard a bit about it, I realize! Clearly fate must have a fondness for the two cities. [ A gentle laugh ] I did not get her surname, so please pardon my rudeness, but I had a conversation with a Detective Caitlyn at the Tomes just the other day where we spoke a bit of the two.
[ And, of course, the reason it came up at all is what he’s more interested in. If Caitlyn had such things to say about Silco, he’s of course very curious what someone from Silco’s city would have to say about him. He’ll surely get more than he bargained for there. ]
And I am acquainted with a man by the name of Mr. Silco as well. He certainly spoke of the cities more similarly to you, I must admit. [ ha… ha ]
