[ Vander’s mild displeasure is mirrored with a similar expression on Sebastian’s face at the word “drastic”, and he sighs heavily. ]
I am glad to hear it, at least. I suppose there is at least some solace in that it was not real, but goodness me…
[ As he speaks, almost absently, he reaches up to delicately and briefly touch his throat as he shakes his head. A perhaps concerning gesture, considering what the dryad had asked of the Shard-Bearers, but he doesn’t elaborate further. It’s mostly just to continue with the more pleasant part of the conversation, since also explaining how you get from “a sacrifice” to “having your throat ripped out”, well, that’s a large jump. ]
I would not be eager myself, had that been my first experience. Luckily, both cities are very peaceful. A bit surprisingly so, but that may just be from my being used to London in terms of larger cities. [ kinda sucked in 1889 tbh ] It is a luxury I shall gladly enjoy.
[ He looks to Vander with a bit of a laugh and nods up at him ]
Ah, and even better so if your child is here with you, I am sure. I've no children of my own, but I can easily imagine that being much more of a relief. [ And wryly, he adds: ] Especially if they are hot-headed as you say. Less trouble to find, hm?
