[ His own hands continue to hold Silver's, refusing to let go. As a child, he held onto him when he'd cry, yell at him and play with him- not that they were friends or anything! They were just constantly under Lord Lilia's scrutinizing and training, and he intended to train well to protect Malleus, just as Grandfather had done so for Princess Malenoa- and they just happened to be together all the time for it! Out of necessity!
Yet he can't even bring himself to protest that right now. Not when everything feels like it's been tugged out from under him and he's just barely holding on.
And that he has to help Silver not fall. He has to be there to hold him up.
Especially when Silver's the one losing his only family, his father.
He slowly lifts his hands to Silver's shoulders, before tugging him in just close enough to look into his eyes sharply. ]
Can you be certain of that? Even in my dream, he acted wonderfully. He was a part of it. But he was watching. He admitted to it. He was helping create a beautiful dream for me.
Are you sure the Young Master isn't doing that here? Silver. Are you sure this isn't a dream? It's already odd he's planning on wedding Vil-senpai and living with Leona Kingscholar of all people!
[ He stills, though, realizing finally how pale Silver looks, and grits his teeth before tugging him close and clutching him against himself. It's a moment of broken resolve, because Sebek hasn't done anything of the sort since they were children. And if they have, it's because Lord Lilia has grabbed them into his embraces...
He holds Silver like that, hoping to offer the same kind of power Lilia would give them. ]
Ghhrk... get upset, you fool! Get angry, cry! I'm about to if you don't! I wanted Lord Lilia to be alright just as much as you! With your power, there's a chance we could help them... help them both. We won't lose him OR Young Master. So cry, then pull yourself together, Silver! We can't fail here... or let Young Master lose himself!
