[Liem must grudgingly admit that he does still want to have that hours-long discussion about theology with Sebastian, even if he is an evil demon. Perhaps at least partially because he is an evil demon. No matter how repugnant his nature is—and this is on a deeper level, given that in casual conversation Liem finds his manner deceptively pleasant—Sebastian inherently presents an interestingly alien perspective, and Liem cannot help but want to understand it, even if he can never condone the fiend’s actions.]
Perhaps another time.
[When he is less busy, and has a few hours to kill when nothing else pressing needs to be done. (So, never, unfortunately.)
Liem doesn’t at all miss the implication of what Sebastian tells him: that in order to recreate this holy book, which seems quite normal and un-demonic to Liem, he would have had to have read it cover to cover. This sort of thing is the main culprit for why, even though Liem disapproves of evil demon activities, he unfortunately keeps finding he has things in common with Sebastian.]
To have created a complete translation so quickly, though—that is impressive.
[Liem no, don’t consider hiring the soul-eating demon to translate your ultra-dense, extremely literal urban-planning holy textbook. Fortunately Sebastian doesn’t know Taldane, so he can rule out this possibility.]
