[ The more Sebastian hears of the Abyss, the more fascinated he is by it. It’s of no real relevance here, but that doesn’t mean that he would find such a tale uninteresting. Talk of curses and blessings as well as the little he does know gives it a distinctly religious leaning to his understanding, but that’s not how Bondrewd speaks of it. It’s factual and precise rather than being something of metaphor. Naturally, he can’t help but wonder if perhaps this Abyss was indeed a way down to Hell, but simply known by a different name.
…But that’s all curiosity that he’ll set aside. Later, he’ll have to bother Bondrewd to tell him more about the Abyss and all he discovered in it. He can recognize it as a personal curiosity, though he still listens to what Bondrewd lays out with sharp attention. ]
Fascinating. I would call it good fortune that you arrived when you did, Mr. Bondrewd. You seem rather uniquely qualified to look into this Blight.
[ It’s a simple statement, but understated in that Sebastian rarely gives compliments that are as genuine as this. Bondrewd does indeed possess a unique combination of at least something of a background in terms of strange phenomena and the sharp, objective mind needed to analyze it rationally. That’s how a demon sees it. For most, it likely wouldn’t be a compliment they would wish to receive in the first place.
By the time he gets to his theory, Sebastian nods a bit absently, but only because he’s drawn into his own thoughtfulness. It’s a theory that he could certainly see to be true. As an analogy, it was true, for indeed, it would only be the Shard-Bearers would be able to devise a solution to the disease, even… But as Bondrewd gets to his question, Sebastian is a little surprised. He looks back to him, but he shakes his head. ]
At length, no, or not that I am aware of. I assume at the very least were this an effort amongst our current set of Shard-Bearers, I would have heard of it. And for previous work… Nothing concrete. You will find writings about the matter in the libraries of Akadimaïkós, but I would not put much stock in them, personally. They read more as religious texts to explain a mystery than anything factual.
[ He had looked, early on. Even with his certainty of his world being destroyed, he was still curious how it was even possible. Even as powerful as he was, to destroy a world so utterly and rip him from it was still a feat far beyond his imagining. ]
I take it that you have a theory relating to the Blight on that matter?
