[ Her drive is delicious, splendid in its fire. That Hayame will not be satisfied with wanton destruction and desires something direct, something tangible that will be as much a confrontation between the two as her explicit vengeance. Set will still involve her in his plans, for Meridian, but on a personal level, he can offer her nearly whatever she desires to ensure her mark is laid upon the existence of the demon who had so thoroughly debased her.
He cannot swear off of Sebastian, not without collapsing his own extension into Zenith. Not without costing Meridian more than a single individual is intrinsically worth in the grand scheme of war, but he can offer her information and assist her in other ways. ]

[ He strokes through her hair, down the line of her spine to the hook of her equine half, smoothing a massive palm over her dun pelt and leaving warmth where he trails. She cannot be defeated, if Sebastian's words are forced to become lies. While the truth of them is that Hayame is exceptionally good at isolating herself, it need not be the truth forever; by holding onto her, by accepting her as she is — aggressive and difficult, honor-bound and trying, she can never be taken far. ]
I will share what I have learned about him, his abilities, his connections, his words — I cannot strike with you so directly, but my weapon will be a blow against all Zenites and those who adhere to their beliefs. Shard-bearers and citizens alike, as I carve through the heart of their Lady's throne and aim for her heart. And Sebastian, as always, is yours. Yours to do with as you desire. Should you claim his life, it will be a testament to your power. And I support your goal.
