[ The way Silco's words hit his ear sound quite literal, but it also sounds like the sort of metaphor that he's rather fond of himself. Sebastian cants his head lightly, looking amused, but there's definitely a sense that he's appraising the other man, if only briefly. ]

[ It's still a bit teasing in not just saying what he means, but it's still more direct than Sebastian tends to be about the matter. It almost feels strange to say, since generally, only one that's paid the high price for him to appear could know it at all. In current circumstances, though? It's only a little more than whimsy. ]

What does lie along the way? Or am I to discover that for myself?
