[ Sebastian nods in simply agreement, since he can only think that Liem is absolutely correct. It’s probably why the two of them get along rather well, all things considered. While he was still a demon and was hardly excluded from what made them wicked, he was still much more firmly on the side of order than chaos. So, it’s easy to assume that lacking whatever truces were in place, the human realm would likely have become the realm to bear the brunt of apocalyptic clashes.
However, rather than respond to that, he’s a little surprised that Liem asks what he does. Not unpleasantly so, not does he think it’s an unreasonable question in the slightest, but it’s just not simply one that he’s been asked. Enough people just accepted that he was a demon that didn’t form attachments, so obviously not.
…Which is true, of course. But. ]
Well, of a sort. My last contract was left unfinished, and besides that being a mark upon my otherwise perfect record, there was an intriguing set of mysteries that came along with it. I would have liked to see them solved, though that is really only for my intellectual curiosity.
[ Genuinely, he would have liked to know what all of the strange connections with his master’s family and a Grim Reaper turned undertaker were. With his brother’s return, the web had gotten stranger and more complex, so he would have liked to see it done. And, well. He would have very much liked to take Undertaker’s head, but that part need not be said. ]
But those feel like a trifling concern. Otherwise… Even Horos offered me far more than “home” ever could, and Kenos well beyond that. I see the situation as a gain rather than a set of losses.
