[Demeisen’s agreement comes easily enough, despite the low undercurrent of disgruntlement at his situation that he cannot entirely ignore. Probably no one in this world is going to understand just how truly powerful—martially, mentally, and otherwise—his ship body is (was?), and he’s not especially invested in filling in all the details regardless. It’s largely irrelevant at present anyway, no matter how used he is to him and the ship being connected.
At Sebastian’s description of his missing ability, however, Demeisen raises an eyebrow, tipping his head meaningfully toward his companion.]
Awfully convenient that it’s gone, I’d say. If someone were to want to keep you in line.
[He’s not suggesting these strange little quirks prove that their scenario was set up by some intelligent hand. Demeisen is perfectly aware of how little information he really has about their situation at present, and how data points can easily be misleading in isolation. Still—suffice to say that this whole thing stinks to him, and he’s far from ready to believe either faction’s promise and go along with things like a meek little soldier.]
