[ Sebastian’s first reaction is a nod, though it’s quickly followed by a light confusion. Vacation may as well be a completely foreign word to him, and it has nothing to do with his nature, for once. No, he really just is a workaholic in purely his personality. He’s sure right away that he would hate a vacation since a day off at the manor had been a struggle for him, so he just ends up nodding again slightly. ]
Ah, well, I am compensated well, I think. Or was at the manor, technically…? [ Ciel’s soul had been perfect payment, and though he had been sour about losing out on it in Horos, Lady Yima had at least made sure he had his due. So. ] But assisting with Zenith affairs is simply my duty. I need no compensation for that.
[ It’s so plain and matter-of-factly stated that it seems like some kind of inherent expectation with how he says it… But, no, it’s absolutely absurd. No one should be subject to the standards that Sebastian gives himself. He truly doesn’t think much of it, and it’s why he can at least smoothly move on to address the rest, since now Reigen’s work is very interesting to him. ]
Oh, my. [ says the evil spirit(ish), absolutely more in the cadence of a polite grandmother than a scary demon, ] How interesting. I have encountered those that work with spirits and exorcisms and the like in my time, but only ever really in passing. I also do not know if they were any good at it, in truth, so that is a very impressive rate. If I may, what was the most fearsome thing you have encountered?
