[ Exceptionally. He had not even realized it, until it was almost too late. He remembered his heart slowing in his chest, the beating that had been so flush from the high of blotting out the sun with a squeeze of his fist. He'd taken his time, he'd made everyone experience it. Made them feel it. Oh, how he had so desperately enjoyed the experience of watching her very soul expire in his hands, from his power.
But...
Sebastian knew how to sour that just perfectly. The words in his implant were seared into his mind. How much was him, and how much was Sebastian? He'd prided himself so highly in doing things himself. Birdie, making the deal with Aetós, everything before he even arrived in Kenos, but... When it had come to the god...
His lips turned down sourly, and he stared ahead. He's staring at his hands working on the joint, but he isn't really even seeing it. How even this victory felt sickening with those words. Sethad so chastised him for almost dying and leaving Jinx; but he'd never truly expected to make it to see her. All he had been hoping for was to cement it , so that she could have a truly wild playground to run rampant through.
He'd always known he would die. He hadn't expected it to be that moment.
And it hadn't been. So why did it feel so soured by his words. ]
I... know things about him. Things I won't share. They give me... an advantage, of sorts.
