[ indeed, that explains very little, but then again, if Sebastian tried to explain it in detil, he doubts he'd understand it, anyway. All he does is stare at it a bit longer before nodding uncomfortably. Demon magic aside, it had protected them from the prying eyes and ears of Yao, so he should probably be thankful for it instead of questioning it. And, demonic nature aside, all Sebastian had done so far, in his eyes, was help out. Maybe he shouldn't be so nervous. After all, he'd learned by now that monstrous folk weren't always quite as monstrous as people liked to make them out. ]
R... Right. Well, thank goodness. That's a useful ability to have...
Well, I have no shortage of those, at least. In fact, now that you know the truth of things, it is much easier for me to act, since I needn't pretend to be human quite so much...
[ He nods ] In any case, I am glad to have your support. We will meet this coming Tuesday. And... just so you are aware, she is an eccentric young woman.
[ he knows when that is. Vaguely. It's awfully hard to keep a calendar in Haven, but he nods energetically anyway, not wanting to miss this opportunity.
His words give Garry pause for other reasons, though. ]
[ Should he ask what that means? No, he shouldn't, he decides fairly quickly. What a demon eats that "isn't exactly" human flesh is probably better off left to his imagination. Again, seeming uncomfortable, Garry nods slowly. ]
... Well, okay. It just feels funny trusting a demon... n-no offense meant, of course. You've been nothing but kind to me! It's just...
[ He just gives a warm and friendly smile in response as he nods. ]
None taken, I assure you. That is partially why I keep it to myself. It is not out of intent to deceive so much as revealing it tends to make things more difficult for me. I understand if it takes some time to rebuild that trust.
[ After a pause, he adds with a soft laugh, ] For what it is worth, I will do all in my power to look out for you, now that you have accepted. You are a member of this team, after all, and despite what I am, I do look out for my allies. I am not a creature interested in chaos. I wish to return home, just as anyone else.
[ Spooky as he might be to a faint-hearted man like Garry, Sebastian has a point he can't deny. He doubts a well-dressed, classy demon like him enjoys being stuck here, either - to say nothing of their little field trips courtesy of Kite. So after a moment, he makes a noise of understanding. ]
... Yeah, I guess you're right. It doesn't matter what we are here... We're all in the same boat.
[ whether they're human or demon or monster-spider-woman. ]
[ Sebastian nods, and by the look on his face, he seems relieved that Garry agrees. Though of course, he really cares little beyond Garry simply cooperating with him. That said... Having Garry on his side had its uses as well, which is why he's making the extra effort here. ]
So I would like to think, at the very least. So, ah, it may sound a bit strange coming from a creature like me... But I hope that at the very least, we may work well together.

Eccentric... how?
no subject
Well, you will see, soon enough. It is... difficult to describe. She is a cannibal, for one?

[ let's get the important worry out of the way first before he starts yelling at the nice demon. ]
no subject
[ He can't say she won't try, but. ]
Just do not take any food she offers. Or food that Charles offers you from her, which is how he got me. [ lil shit ]

O-okay. Duly noted... But you're a demon, aren't you? That kind of thing is probably, uh... normal for you, isn't it?
no subject
[ He blinks, looking surprised, then shakes his head. ]
...Well, no. Not exactly. My diet is considerably lighter, so you need not worry about such a thing.
