Sebastian couldn't help but laugh a bit as she pressed for more information on the Sister. He ultimately gave a half-hearted shrug.
He shook his head slightly.
After a brief silence, he spoke up again.
He was weary of discussion for any bits of politics. Too often he spent the entirety of his day doing it. The last thing he really cared about doing was boring Aoife with details. Though they seemed to come second nature to just talk about. Tired of them or no.
Instead he gave in to whatever inner voice suggested offering help. And, much to his surprise, she agreed to it. Washing her hair, at least. And that, Sebastian was fairly certain, he could handle.
Shifting off the bed and closer to the tub, he ended up kneeling down behind her. Brushing his hands over hers, he gathered up the loose strands of her blonde locks. Not that this was exactly his forte given his own hair was not so long, something about the contact had called to him. He was not nearly as hazy as he could be, but he was certain the drink he'd had contributed to the confidence he should not have had.
Though ultimately, he found himself spending more time just massaging her scalp. Of all people, Sebastian certainly felt she deserved to be pampered in some fashion. Would she ever agree? Something told him no. Strongly no. But, fortunately, she was probably past too drunk to argue now. Right?
Take your pick, she'll find something to be irritated about.He gave a little bit of thought before coming up with a further answer as to why she was such a headache.
You know how sometimes your siblings would disagree with you just to disagree? Or have an argument? She's a lot like that.
He shook his head slightly.
I think she looks up to the Grand Cleric and she is... something else.She made him miss Elthina, that was for certain. Even the other two in the cities under his jurisdiction were more pleasant and lovely to deal with.
After a brief silence, he spoke up again.
Tomorrow I'll introduce you to Inez. And Vincenzo if he's around. Neither of them should give you much trouble. Vin is one of the mages from the late Divine's new circles... though I think we've been the only ones to maintain the school as she intended.He gave another idle shrug, still giving attention to his sleepy companion.

Tell me if you want me to stop,he murmured after a few moments. He drawn the soap out a bit to her ends before working his way back to the scalp massage.
