[ Sebastian makes a light noise as Matt shifts closer, but he doesn’t hesitate to put an arm around his shoulder to draw him just a bit closer. It’s for the warmth, of course. Again, nevermind the fact that Sebastian isn’t wearing a jacket at all. ]
Ah, it is a bit more difficult for gods, since that is where Set and I do differ greatly… From my understanding, he has a duty to the things he represents, essentially? So, I can only assume that influences what he finds interesting.
[ They really hadn’t spoken about it all that much, but it’s not for any real reason. Sebastian didn’t have much curiosity about how it worked. Instead, he’d mostly spoken to Set about his divinity through the context of how it existed to mortals—how it was remembered. He had personally experienced its full breadth, after all. He had existed long before Egypt, seen it decline and be forgotten, and then recently be rediscovered as a curiosity. He had many tales to tell Set in that regard. ]
However, I think we at least agree that novelty is interesting. I shall sound like an old man to say it, but we have both been alive for such a very long time that something new catches our attention like nothing else. We both like technology, for example. [ Guns, notably, and it was in an ero way, but, ] And for people…
[ He trails off thoughtfully, since it’s hard for him to narrow down simply, and he’s sure it isn’t the same for Set either. In one part, he has his nature. He very much does seek out people that he’d like to feast upon. Even if he had no intention of forming a Covenant with them, he still wanted to lead them towards some darker, worse part of themselves. Corruption tended to be a concept wrapped up in theology, so he didn’t exactly like to use the word, but he undeniably wanted people to step further into the proverbial dark. Or sidle up next to it, as it were.
…Yet, on the other hand, he simply does like people. He doesn’t have the disdain for mortals that some of his kind does. He might not view them as equals (far from it), but they’re entertaining and vibrant. He’s a demon that preferred the world of mortals to Hell greatly, and that had made Kenos something of a blessing. He can interact with them as much as he would like, and given that freedom, he’s tended towards the innocuous. Normal, even. He cooks, goes grocery shopping, flirts with his regulars in Draumahol… His day-to-day activities make it hard to believe that he’s a vicious, amoral creature.
So, it takes him a moment. But with a nod, he decides: ]
—Curiosity, I think. Those who ignore or merely accept the world around them are interminably dull. I suppose the two are deeply related, actually, for it is that curiosity that creates novelty, no?
