[Malleus couldn't possibly imagine the things that Sebek is dealing with right now, although he absolutely is certain that there is something. Whatever it is has him really, truly shaken, and it hurts Malleus' heart a little to know that he is not someone who can truly help with that.

He should talk to Vil about it. This is beyond his purview.]

Of course.

I do not require anything of you this day but that you care for yourself. Take the time you need to adjust to these new surroundings. I have been without any retainers at all for many months, after all, before Silver arrived here with me in the last few. I can take care of myself for a few days longer, if necessary.

[He honestly doesn't know how much he needs Silver and Sebek defending him right now anyway. If anything, it seems like it is more trouble having to worry about them. Ah, he won't say that though, and he is happy to have the two of them back. Maybe they can entertain each other.]

Shall I just show you to my home? Silver is there, and surely we could make something suitable for you.
