[ The impression is sure to solidify further, since Sebastian’s sharp attention isn’t so much a show of power as it is intelligence. It’s not the tension of two beasts circling and waiting to snap at each other, but of calculation. The taunts are ignored without even a twitch of expression in his coldly neutral look, but the feeling remains. Set is being assessed as a threat, and if that doesn’t land in his favor…
…Well, who knows? Sebastian’s posture relaxes with a little sigh. The act drops just a little further as the prim, proper butler places a hand on his hip.
(In reality, he’s correctly read part of the taunt for what it is. Set wants a fight and to drag the truth out of Sebastian with violence first. So, he’ll deny him that opportunity. It keeps that question firmly in Sebastian’s control, so, alas, Set has yet to escape his diplomats.) ]
Hardly. What fool would cause trouble for a god?
[ …When in doubt, flattery. He may not have ever met a god, but he’d have to assume they’re rather weak to it, considering that they must be accustomed to worship. ]
…Since it seems foolish to deny it, I will admit, I am not mortal. But even if that is not so uncommon in this estate, I would appreciate your discretion, my Lord. Humans are such easily startled creatures, after all.
