[he breaks out in a laugh]

No shit?

[untiltheend]

[Sebastian laughs too, and doesn't so much as pretend to make it sound genuine.]

Well, since there is nothing to be done about that, either... [guess he'll just go back to impotently stew in his own frustration. For goodness' sake, even those Space Drugs that Dorian Gray got him are almost starting to look appealing.]

[atowncalledtreffy]

[he nods, letting Sebastian go with reluctance]

Don't lose confidence in yourself.

[untiltheend]

You say that as if it is something I would ever do.

[As if that's not exactly what's lowkey going on, Sebastian.]

[atowncalledtreffy]

I'm just saying that your age and experience are working against you. Johann's a baby compared to your years - it's easier for him to adjust his sails.

[untiltheend]

I am aware. And I have been told repeatedly that I will be here for quite some time.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Well, that's fucking depressing. I'll shut up.

[untiltheend]

[.................]

Would you let me into the Enclosure? [Killing fake monsters doesn't sound like it'd help much, but he's so frustrated he doesn't know what to do with himself. There's only so many times you can deep-clean the kitchens.]

[atowncalledtreffy]

[he's surprised, but nods]

Yeah. 'Course. I'll come with if you want something real in there to hit.

[untiltheend]

Thank you, but... I will confess I am not much in the mood to hold back.

[atowncalledtreffy]

It's fine. I could stand to bleed out a little in this deathless place.

[untiltheend]

[Sebastian considers it for a moment. It's been so long since he's killed anyone, and he's sure it would take some of the edge off his frustration even if Trevor isn't someone he wants to see dead...]

--I appreciate the offer, but let us not force Mr Cho to deliver more lectures on the immorality of violence than he already has this week. Just the Enclosure will be fine.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Christ. Yeah, fair.

Door's open.

[untiltheend]

Thank you, Sir.

[He may or may not spend all night in there, picturing every monster he kills as having Johann's face.]

[atowncalledtreffy]

[Trevor leaves the door open for Sebastian, and every night that week. Sebastian's been through enough]
