…Well, largely. I admit, I have been thinking of it more since we spoke in Horos about it. Until you brought it up so, I do not believe I thought of us as a people outside of more than passing fancy.

[ Sebastian hums out a drawn out, thoughtful note, but his gaze settles on the wine in his glass as he swirls it idly. He has to think about how to explain it, because how do you explain such an absence? But he seems to settle on something, since after taking a drink, he continues. ]
Perhaps it is because we lack things like empathy. We are purely selfishly motivated, so there is no cohesion amongst us beyond doing what is necessary to obtain or guard our pleasures. You can never know another demon since lies, deceit, and treachery are as common as breathing. I have never wanted to, but nor has any other.
[ But even if that might sound depressing, Sebastian just laughs easily as he shrugs. ]
I suppose that makes us a bit interesting, though. It is still something I am considering through a fresher perspective, as if I were looking in.
