[ Sebastian is openly pleased across the line of Communion, though it’s sharp. It’s not directed at Bondrewd, of course—he’s truly quite happy that the man has agreed to be his tutor—but it’s an edge that’s normally well hidden. Only Set and Silco truly know the kind of precise, vicious cruelty that Sebastian can wield. Even removing Hayame’s eye was only partially that. Giving one back was much more in line with a demon’s cruelty than the logical, brutal efficiency of removing an archer’s eye. And now, Bondrewd knew as well.
It has him relaxing. Or, more accurately, unmasking himself in part. His speech is no less polite and formal, but it’s cooler and more confident. A predator no longer playing at being prey, perhaps. ]
Two months is about what I had guessed as well. Luckily, I am a quick study and not prone to failings of memory. You shall only have to instruct me once.
[ It’s arrogant, but also factual. A not insignificant part of why Sebastian is so clever is thanks to his perfect memory. Even among his kind, it’s not the most common trait. ]
I at least have a bit of a head start when it comes to biological and chemical processes. My side work will serve this personal matter well, apparently. [ thanks for being insane, silco! ] Of course, should you have particular recommendations for study material, I am happy to take them. My understanding has improved markedly since Mr. Silco became my employer, but I am still playing catch up, so to speak. There are many, many innovations that came in the years after 1889, as it turns out.
