[ Matt's starting to feel slightly out of breath. Embarrassing, since he tries to stay in decent shape, but dancing feels like it engages different muscles than he's accustomed to using. It demands different breathing patterns, too. Sebastian, of course, glides along with perfect ease, though his attention on Matt doesn't exactly feel easy. More like the narrowing focus of a dark lens. ]

Maybe I should, [ Matt admits with a frown. He's quiet for a long moment after that--long enough for the song to begin winding down, though Matt's not familiar enough with the music of this time ad place to know it. ] I just think everything exists for a reason. Everyone. And I don't want to ... try to pressure anyone to go against their nature. I mean, I don't want to tolerate cruelty or abuse-- [ A quick smile Sebastian's way, faint. It could almost be a challenge, or even a tease. Sorry. ] --but I think everyone deserves to be loved for what they are.

[ Matt sucks in a breath. That was a lot to say while moving so quickly. And though he started answering the question thinking only of Sebastian, he finds himself thinking about other people he's met here. Silco. Amos. Tezcatlipoca. ]
