That's probably best. Religion, politics, never get into them with strangers. Only leads to trouble. Though Buffy would probably be very interested in hearing them, if he ever decides he wants to talk about them.

"It is. A nice idea, I mean. I'm pretty new too, and it's a good way to get to know people."

There are a few people in Baedal that know he's apostate and Sebastian believes that it's probably best that way. While all sorts of faiths and variations on polytheism are welcomed, he's neither comfortable nor feels it's appropriate to declare his views for others to comment upon. Of course, Princess Nuala is an exception.

"So, what do you do for Hellsing?"

"I'm a field agent," she says with a nod. "I'm still pretty new though. To the city, not the job. I've been 'field agenting' for quite a while."

"Not the easiest position, I've been lead to understand," he replies with a faint smile.

"No, but I'm used to it. It's become second nature to me at this point."

How do you respond to that? 'That's nice' is a bit too dismissive, and probably not the truth. Fortunately he is saved from too much conversational stickiness by Velcro helpfully snuffling at Buffy.

"Oh, uh, he's friendly."

It's probably best. She knows that field work can be a bit of a conversation killer, so she's happy to segue to dog. Dog is a good place to go.

"I can see that," she replies, dropping down a bit to pet him better. "What's his name?"
