[Liem definitely notes and disapproves of the fond way with which Matt sighs Sebastian’s name, but he’d seem like a busybody and probably a bigot if he made an issue of it, especially since Matt has already chosen to side with Zenith already. Maybe Sebastian’s pleasing manner is part of what lured Matt over to Highstorm to begin with, but there’s also almost no way he’s unaware of the demon’s true nature by now. Liem opts just to leave the issue.
He does smile faintly, though, when Matt says “I do have magical powers.”]
Thank you.
[The spell could be the luck Matt offered earlier, or anything else, but Liem has little fear of the undead past the door regardless. After only a brief pause and a nod, he moves to the door and opens it.
The good news is there is only a slow trickle of zombies currently wandering up the stairs, leaving the stairway mostly empty; the bad is that a small cluster of zombies has already gathered at the door, and they immediately fight to get through it once the way is open. The first to emerge, a well dressed man, gets Liem’s dagger through one eye. While he’s busy stabbing, he catches an older woman around the throat with his free arm, trips her and sends her sprawling backwards, into the living corpse directly behind.
The moves are practised, to be certain, and seem to suggest more strength than one would expect from Liem’s build—but that isn’t why Liem suggested he go first. Even his regeneration is only a slight factor. More relevant, and more apparent as the zombies continue to lunge at the doorway, is that not a single one of them seems to attack Liem, or even notice him, even as he blocks their route through. All of them are trying to go straight for Matt.]
