[Cautiously, because he really doesn't like this guy, but hell, almost anything's better than spending another dreary day doing virtually nothing.] Any clues as to what sort of job this is going to be before I volunteer my services?
[A pause, while he hesitates, because the memories of the last set of orders Seimei gave him are only too clear in his mind, and he’s really worried about Naminé’s disappearance following that. On the other hand, spending more time with Seimei might present an opportunity to find out more about that. Plus he’s bored. And if this is presumably some sort of follow-up to cleaning up the courtyard, it’s not likely to be that nasty, is it?]
Sure. I could do with some fresh air and exercise.
Then I'll have a guard escort you, if we decide your help would be useful. I'll need to see how many volunteers there are.
[A brief pause -- and when Seimei speaks next, the words are perfectly natural, absolutely unremarkable and without weight. Which, for Seimei, is a terrible oddity all by itself.]
I won't ask whether you'll be able to follow my instructions, Mr. Harkness.

As for volunteers, it doesn't look as if you're getting a particularly wide choice here, Seimei. Hmm. I wonder why that could be?

I'm not very surprised.

That wouldn't be possible, Mr. Harkness.

And yeah, I guess it would be impossible for you. Which is probably a good thing for the rest of the world.
