[And here was Sebastian, sitting on the floor with his legs crossed and in a room of Whipstaff Manor. Except, this room didn't look like all the others, this room was different, WAY different. The normally Victorian and lavish rooms in the manor were nothing like this one, no, this one was zebra stripped with assortments of large cats, then on the

When Alphonse came into the room, Sebastian slowly looked up from his seat, marking his page them closing the book and setting it on the table. Seeing as how Al put his PCD in the desk, he opened a different drawer, locking it shut as well before standing up and giving off a slow spin with his hands in the air before grinning back at Al.]
Do I not look alright, Mr. Alphonse?

... good, I'm glad.
You... came pretty close to outing yourself there. You're probably going to get some attention now. Are you going to let anyone else know what I do?

I do not think that will be necessary, Mr. Alphonse. Besides, it seems many people here have rather unique traits who could do the same thing as I.

He nodded, a little worriedly -- he didn't want Sebastian to get into trouble, or have any of his friends of family get worried and try to seperate them -- but then half-smiled.]
Here of all places it isn't too weird, is it?

He then moved a gloved hand to rest against his chest, nodding in reply.]
No, it is rather easy to mask someone of my....type you could say amongst this crowd.

Sebastian, do you have any plans about what to do if something does happen? I'm not saying it would, but it's possible. Just... what-if.

They will have to be, how do you say? Taken care of.
[After which he gave off a small chuckle, a gloved hand moving to cup Al's cheek and shaking his head.]
Just kidding, Mr. Alphonse. That would only draw out more attention.

But... you didn't answer my question.

I'll kindly ask them to keep it to themselves. And if they won't, then I may just have to take force into my own hands.

I don't know if I'd be able to help you much. I have some say here, but that could work against you. My friends are really... protective. If they thought there was a threat to me, no matter what I said, it could be ugly.
[Al tipped his head down. He hated to say it, but... not a lot of people would understand that Sebastian hadn't done anything to hurt anyone, despite his nature.]
Be careful, okay? I don't want you to get hurt.

Turning around, Sebastian noticed Alphonse's bowed head, cocking a brow as he chuckled softly, quickly closing the distant between the two of them as Sebastian grinned, wrapping his arms about the boy in an almost protective manner.]
Who's to say I am not protective as well, Mr. Alphonse? As the lord of Whipstaff Manor it is my duty to make sure no harm comes to you, even if we don't have a contract in that manner.
[He blinked a little, shocked at the last statement, slowly turning his lips back to that devious grin as he leaned down to whisper in the boy's ear.]
Mr. Alphonse, what are you trying to say? You're worried for me?
Reply
Although he didn't instantly hug back, the whisper so close to his ear made one hand clutch on his coat, and he cleared his throat.]
... a little, yes.

Explain, Mr. Alphonse.
[A finger running up and down the boy's spine as he waited patiently for his answer.]
