Oh, simply for my rudeness… First that I intruded, then second for not recognizing you.

[ So far as rudeness goes, it’s incredibly slight, but that’s Sebastian for you. He’s polite to extreme, at least when he’s playing nice. Though how much of that is “playing” is kind of the point that people find perplexing about him…

He laughs warmly to Liem’s sarcasm and dips his head lightly as if accepting it. His smile turns playful too, but his teasing is a light touch especially compared to tezca good lord ]

Ah, does it? I suppose I can see that… There is something about facial hair that does imply experience, at least. They hardly grow overnight, after all. [ just over a century, you know, ] It looks good on you, though. Not all are lucky enough to wear it well.

[ He’d include himself, honestly, at least in this human form. He’s rather glad that it’s not something he has to worry about in the first place… But that thought aside, he gestures lightly to the bench. ]

May I join you for a bit? I heard the hymns and was curious, but I imagine you are a better teacher than observation alone.
