Oh, I'd sell you out right away, [ Matt says with a grin. ] "Help! I thought he was just a really sexy man, but he totally deceived me. And I'm not a witch."
[ This is 100% a joke, if Matt's emotions (and the fact that he can't say the lines with a straight face) are anything to go by. He'd absolutely fight on Sebastian's behalf against a boatful of pitchfork-wielding townsfolk. What would pitchforks be on the ocean, tridents? Still, maybe betrayal is too sensitive a topic right now, even in joke form. Even after everything Matt's said to him tonight. He sobers quickly just in case.
Emotionally. Alcohol-wise, he takes another drink of champagne. ]
I see. [ His eyebrows arch for irritating cretin. Matt's not surprised, strictly speaking. Set seems to him to shift like sand: one moment wise and thoughtful, then irascible, then weeping miserably. (That last one was probably a special case.) But Sebastian's not a human, so maybe he sees dependability differently. ] If I can ask, um ...
Why do you trust him? Or, what do you trust him to do?
