[ Eros, agape, ishq, these are all terms he’s heard and understood through literature and poetry. Bhakti is a new term to him, but really, they’re all something foreign. Just like Matt isn’t able to see a soul and taste it as Sebastian does, he’s not able to experience any of those feelings. No demon is. It’s probably why they all have a fascination with it, albeit to different degrees. With the connection of the Stargazer between them, that cloudy mix of emotions makes even feel even more foreign. ]
There are plenty who would disagree with the sentiment. Both that all creation should be loved, or what counts as “Creation” at all.
[ The words would also probably sound accusatory from most, but he’s pointing it out matter-of-factly. It’s also an invisible benefit of Sebastian’s time in Kenos rather than the first time they’d met in “Horos”. There, he probably would have veiled the sentiments more sweetly to lead Matt towards a perception that was perhaps warmer, but false. By now, Sebastian is at least more honest to others about his thoughts. ]
…It is not something I understand well, regardless. It is not something my kind feel. [ He cants his head lightly, and pauses, but he decides to add the clarification after all. ] Nor is it something we are given, hence my confusion.
[ Without barely offering them so much as a glance, Sebastian delicately takes a flute of champagne from the servant with a tray that wanders by. Hopefully Matt wasn’t craving water, since this is a party… But Sebastian holds it out for Matt to take. ]
