Should he come inside, he's likely to spot a young man somewhere in his mid to late twenties, sitting at a small, well-lit side table reading a book. Spread out on the table in front of him, is a notebook, a mug of tea and teapot, and an empty plate. As much as he appreciates being able to live at the Hellsing Guild Hall, Sebastian has an almost physical need to get out into the city and be among other people. Ideally, among people who don't know him and won't interrupt him while he's reading. Reading remains slow, laborious task, and while silence might help some people, when it's too quiet, every little noise makes him jump and distracts him; it's only among the constant, low hum of conversation that he can really focus.

Faced with a particularly difficult passage in deMarcus' "An Introduction to Creative Cursebreaking," Sebastian removes his glasses for a moment, to pinch the bridge of his nose and scrub at his face, pushing aside a shock of messy black hair and revealing a faded scar.
