[ Their game includes physical intimacy at its core, but still, Sebastian is surprised enough to laugh as Set slips into his space. Perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise, since it’s not the first time they’ve engaged in it in view of others… But certainly it hadn’t been in a setting so fraught. Spitefully, he hopes Hayame sees this, but he won’t look to see, lest he draw her further ire. He’s quite sure he would be the one to bear the brunt of it so long as he was present to be the target. ]
No, it is not. To even allow me to be unshackled is a decision that comes from chaos, I think. Were Kenos to have plucked another demon instead of I, it could have been a ruinous decision. Assuming there is deciding in it at all, of course.
[ It’s something he’s mulled over a few times. Among the upper ranks of demons, it was more common to find ones with more principled and conciliatory personalities like he had, but still rare. His brethren would have rejoiced for their freedom, then ransacked this world to feast on all its pleasures. Chaos for the sheer sake of it.
Sebastian trails a gloved hand along Set’s leg with the rhythm of it being idle, though of course it’s anything but. It’s teasing, perhaps, because truly, set why, but purposeful. ]
Oh? Is that what you want of me? [ That part is definitely teasing, but he’s more serious as he continues. ] I do not find it all that intriguing. I am given free reign, and so I appreciate it. Otherwise, what Lady Yima and I have agreed upon is purely business. I have no more loyalty to her than any other that buys it. You will never find me among her ranks of sycophants, for trusting anything that offers you precisely what your heart desires is foolish.
