[ Sebastian listens with interest as Emet-Selch explains, since when they had last spoke on a similar topic, he had been the one talking more. It wasn’t something he’d minded, of course, as thinking of demons as a people had been thought-provoking, odd as that may seem. But it does make it more intriguing to hear about Emet-Selch’s people in return. First, he can’t help but make a wry little joke as he starts to pour a glass for himself. ]
Well, who knows? Perhaps our people are something of spiritual cousins across worlds.
[ It’s clear from the playful tone that it isn’t something he seriously thinks, but it is an amusing coincidence with what he knows of how their abilities overlap. He’d find it funnier if he realized it extended even to things like seeing souls since that’s something he has to consciously choose to do while in a human form.
…It does feel strange on his tongue though, to call demons a people. It’s technically true, but it just doesn’t feel right. There’s something about the word that implies some sense of community that he’s certainly never felt for his kind, nor does he think any other demon he’s met would. He feels no longing for it either, so it’s more a curiosity that there were indeed creatures out there that would have such ability as he did… And it would be used for noble, productive pursuits. ]
The Ascians are certainly wiser than demonkind, from the sound of it. I cannot think of a single instance where it was used so in our realm, including myself, naturally. [ He shrugs, clearly unbothered in admitting that. ] Or rather, it had never occurred to me, at least. Wonders and miracles would go a bit against the general ambiance of my realm.
