Deuce and Sebek (pt1)

Sebek and Deuce overlap in a vignette where Sebek is overwhelmed by the crowds at the school store during a special sale.

Having failed in his task to purchase pudding for Lilia, Deuce gives him one of the twenty that he bought in exchange for help carrying his eight shopping bags to Heartslabyul (including ingredients for Trey and requests by other students).

When Deuce is possessed by a ghost that cries for its mother during Spectral Soiree Sebek is not patient with him, and makes fun of him once his consciousness has returned.

Deuce later gets an opportunity to tease Sebek right back.

Deuce has a voice line about wanting to study more so that Sebek will not be able to talk down to him.

Deuce accidentally teaches Malleus what “talking trash” means in a vignette, and when Malleus decides to remember the terminology Deuce responds, “Please don’t! Language like that is beneath you!And if Sebek finds out I taught you that, he’ll chew me out for sure….”

Sebek is Deuce’s judge for the master chef event and is unimpressed by Deuce’s poor filleting skills. Sebek offers to take Deuce fishing in the future, which Deuce says he would appreciate.

Deuce struggles to keep up with his group during Spectral Soiree, frustrating Sebek (“We cannot stand around and wait for one puny human to recover!”), who decides to leave the others behind and strike out on his own.

Deuce intercepts him, asking why he has been acting strange, and deduces the source of Sebek’s discontent: feeling helpless after being separated from Lilia, Malleus and Silver (Sebek claims he is not feeling helpless in the slightest).

Deuce tells Sebek, When we find who did this, I’m gonna make up for how I embarrassed myself. Don’t hate me if I end up takin’ ’em down before you can, Sebek!,” and Sebek declares, “if you INSIST, I shall keep you company! I’m sure the three of you would be helpless without me,” annoying Deuce with how rudely he speaks to the upperclassmen of their group.
