[ He makes a thoughtful noise as he brings his hand towards his chin also thoughtfully, but. Despite those gestures, his answer comes rather easily. ]
Well, yes, but they are largely things I would refuse on technicalities than the core wish itself, which I believe is more what you mean… But I do not accept those which are indefinite or unreasonable. Even for a soul perfectly to my taste, I would not agree to something where I am in their service for the rest of their life, for example. And naturally, no “I wish for more wishes” sorts of things, no matter how cleverly they believe they have phrased it.
[ Sebastian sighs as he shakes his head, and it’s clear he’s thinking of something specific with that example. Based on the heaviness of that sigh, maybe even many things. ]
Though there are some that I would refuse on principle. Making two Covenants simultaneously, for example… Ah, and it may be a bit ironic all things considered, but I do not accept Covenants for changing the tides of war or the like anymore. After the siege of Caffa had rather… unexpected consequences, I shall say, I had decided it was best to only accept wishes that are a bit more personal than those which could be wide-reaching.
[ Boy that sure sounds ominous, doesn’t it? Don’t worry about it! ]
...But largely, no. These are all cases which are quite specific. In general, I am merely a tool for doing something that my masters either do not have the ability or resolve to accomplish themselves.
