[ Sebastian's reaction is one that Heinrix is probably a bit used to by now, since the way his eyebrows raise further makes it clear that much of what he explains is foreign to him. While he understands "interrogator" and "templar" quite well, the context here isn't at all like conflicts of old, clearly. However, even with the surprise, it's clear that he's curious too. ]
Please, pardon my surprise... It is not out of disbelief, I assure you, but merely that many of your terms are beyond me. I believe I understand the gist of it, though. Templars may be a thing of the past to me, but student of history that I am, I know a fair amount, I would say.
[ Though where some people with that knowledge might hold Heinrix at arm's length as a result, since the work had a reputation of being of a certain persuasion... Sebastian doesn't seem bothered at all. Truthfully, it's much more alluring. Toying with a man of violent faith is always fun, but when he even mentions daemons? Why, he can hardly resist. It's a long, slow game. ]
I can guess that you do not get a rest even here, if the amount of viscera I have scrubbed out of the rugs is any indication.
[ He sounds sympathetic for that too, but also turns his attention ahead to large, glass doors that lead out to the garden. It seems like it's where he'll go unless Heinrix offers another suggestion. ]
...Forgive me the simplistic question, but it is where my curiosity starts. Is it difficult work, Interrogator?
[ It seems like he will use his title, though every inch of that is calculated. It's flattery, since people love their titles, especially when they might not often be used. But it's also a slyer choice, since whenever he might choose to call him by his first name, it'll be notable. ]
