@kryetarā asked: ā ' i believe they call this interrogating. '
āDo they?ā That doesnāt help. He shrugs, as if something like that had never crossed his mind and never would. Nothing to see her, despite his default setting being intimidating. Which he also hasnāt taken any steps to fix.Ā āEver seen one?ā He grins, a little unsettling. That still doesnāt dispell any illusions about the interrogation-ness of this encounter.Ā āBelieve me, if this was an interrogation, youād be uncomfortably aware.ā For all that Sebastian doesnāt go around telling his strangers his occupation, itās moments like these that easily could be mistaken for a confession. That said, Iraās not really a stranger. Heās Severinās friend after all. Theyāve met before. Thatās something.Ā
He relaxes his posture slightly - not that heās ever going to achieve the way Severin slouches - but itās an attempt at a lowering of the tension. Whether itās well meant or not is up to Ira to decide. āNo, Iām just asking. No weight to it, no wrong answers.ā Thereās definitely a wrong answer to any question Sebastian asks, but thatās always to be seen. Itās mostly when heās angry that questions have pre thought out wrong answers.Ā āIād tell you to relax, but Iām not sure itād go over well.ā Even if he meant it, itād probably come out sounding like heās telling Ira to relax for a procedure that is in fact going to hurt a lot.Ā āI would appreciate an answer in the next century, if possible, though.ā
