Well, I do not mind, of course. So long as that energy is acceptable when it… Well, I do not know the particulars, actually. Does it come from me?

[ He questions it with a gentle laugh, since he’d been on his way to making a joke about how his help could taint it, what with being a demon and all… But even in jest, he’s not sure it works. Still, though. He gives Matt’s waist the lightest of squeezes that’s just enough to be felt but not to be see as untoward. The balance of etiquette in this time period does at least make flirting a bit more challenging, and therefore fun. ]

But you needn’t— Well, perhaps you could write it once but not keep it. If you write it and show it to me, I can remember it for you as well. [ He shrugs lightly, since he’d said as much when they’d talked of books, and Matt has likely spent time perusing Sebastian’s personal, recreated collection of literature, so it’s not new information. ] If you ever wanted to reread such notes, I could even conjure it already bound as a book, really.
