[ while kaeya remains silent to allow ryunosuke to say his piece (his last-ditch attempts, as it were, to sway this newcomer to the pleroma's cause), he takes note of the fact that sebastian knows about the pleroma and the kenoma from a different angle. it's something he'd like to prod later on for more information, if only because he agrees with the other two: uncovering the truth is valuable. it wouldn't hurt to get a different perspective, but it'll have to wait until everything is all said and done.
recruitment isn't finalized until the contents of the vial have been consumed, after all.
while the smile that graces his lips can come across as smug, it's more neutral than anything else. he finds it difficult to call this one a victory when it seems like sebastian would have chosen the kenoma either way, but he'll take his wins where he can. ]
Lovely. Then, I shall bring you back to the Citadel at once.
[ it would be easier to have sebastian drink the abyssal liquid now before returning, but considering ryunosuke is still here, then he'll spare the other man the trouble of witnessing what will happen next. he does, at the very least, send him a smile and a shrug, as if quietly saying, better luck next time, before offering sebastian a particular amulet. ]
If I can trouble you to put this on...
[ while the newcomer does that, he will keep an eye on the pleroma. just in case. he doubts ryunosuke is going to try his luck, but it never hurts to be too careful. ]
sebastian is so good 😳
