[ There’s a certain dynamic between the two young men that Sebastian is picking up on here, though it’s at least remaining subtle for now. It’s no surprise that they know each other, since they had been in Horos as well (M’s patchy memories notwithstanding), of course. Though because they’re both being professional at the moment, he can only guess at what it is. Though, considering the personalities here, he can assume it’s not exactly friendly. Considering M’s manners weren’t too different from his own and Gen had been very immediately put off by that… It’s not hard to guess.
No matter, though. It seems that any distaste can be put aside, so he won’t comment to ask either way.
To Gen’s guess about his abilities, Sebastian nods. ]
More or less. I will not be noticed, which is the point.
[ Which is a slightly roundabout way to answer it, but just based on how Gen had phrased it, he can guess that his mental picture for what Sebastian might be able to do is a little off. Though considering he doesn’t elaborate, he clearly means for it to be a surprise. He then turns his attention to M to nod approvingly at the little shift in appearance, though it also doubles to assuage his concerns. ]
Of course, M. If it offers a bit of assurance, I do wish for this to go smoothly, and my partners getting too injured or dissipated would be a bit of a failure in my view. I took up the work to impress Mr. Szczepański, after all.
[ It’s (mostly) honest, and he thinks that it’ll be a better comfort for M to know that Sebastian has a personal stake in things going well. It’s a normal part of deals and negotiations when it comes to demons, though it may not sit as well with Gen... But considering M is the one taking the risk, he also imagines that Gen will at least put up with it. ]
Well, I’ve no objections with this plan. I am afraid I was not able to find out too much about his capabilities in a fight, so do stay alert. Go for a quick and easy dissipation if the opportunity presents itself, I would say.
