Could he?

[ She asked, and truly asked. ] For I see that you've taken his eye.

He and I met on the battlefield once, and he barely gave me the room or time to cast my spells. He is a true menace in close combat. [ Her tone is not hateful, it is respectful.

Look, she's in this to see if she can bind him, not out of a personal vendetta. She just can't help but try for the scientific inquiry of it all. ]

Do you think he would let you take his eye, if it were possible?

[ She tried to reach out, to touch her side, as if it would do any good, as if a soothing hand would calm her ire. ]

I cannot cast a spell, Hayame. The...influence down here keeps us all on a fully level playing field, and you are one of the largest and most powerful beings here. [ Her tone is still respectful. ]

You should level the debt between you, and you have done so, yes? An eye for an eye? If you are not satisfied, then is it not best addressed once you are both at your full strength? Is it not more worthy of a fight?

[ She calls it an Assassination otherwise, because that is what it is. Sebastian has little recourse. ]
