[ Sebastian’s expression does turn a bit quizzical as he waits for the answer and is just… stared at… for a moment, but it’s gone when he nods. ]
It makes perfect sense to me, actually. It is a metaphor I am fond of, for I would say the same for myself. The “lens” I use to view the world is fundamentally different from yours, and it is fundamentally different from Set’s as well.
[ Another nod follows, since it’s just a slight elaboration to say that he understands the disconnect. Digging into it further would change the direction of the conversation, so he continues. ]
But I will say if he is willing to work with you, that is a good sign. I do not always understand his whims, especially when it comes to those he likes or dislikes, but he is still direct with them. If he dislikes you, he will simply say so. [ A pause, and then: ] …Or kill you, since you have chosen Zenith, but that is more a tactical consideration than a personal one if he has not expressed his distaste.
[ Probably, anyways. This is actually an area where Sebastian is more mistaken than he’s aware of, but that’s been something very, very intentional on Set’s part. In truth, Set’s heart was gentler than Sebastian understood, and he’d taken great care to be sure that Sebastian didn’t know that. It would be akin to exposing your underbelly, at least between the two of them. ]
Ah, but do not be surprised if he is particularly nosy about your offering assistance. I imagine he will find it very interesting, and unfortunately, he will not let anything he deems “interesting” go in the slightest.
