Sebek and Malleus (pt9)

During the Port Fest event Sebek goes to fetch Idia to fix their cotton candy machine after it breaks.

Idia refuses at first (as Floyd and Jack predicted) due to not wanting to go all the way to their food stall, a problem that Sebek rectifies by bringing the cotton candy machine to Idia, instead: “I would haul 10,000 cotton candy machines if it would help Malleus!”

Sebek forgives Grim for eating their cotton candy when Malleus allows it but he is displeased by the prefect referring to Malleus as “Hornton.”

He demands that the prefect bow down and apologize for the transgression (declaring that people should bow to Malleus is not unusual for him), but when Malleus reveals that he is allowing the nickname Sebek responds, “Of course you did, my liege! Your heart is broader than the seas!”

Sebek also concedes to assist Silver with a problem he fears will reflect poorly on Malleus, saying that trivial remarks could never diminish Malleus’ greatness, but he will not stand for his reputation to be even slightly tarnished.

When Sebek runs out to the front of the store to welcome Malleus during New Years he reveals that, while he had been assigned to inventory, he had sensed that Malleus had entered the shop and finished all his tasks as quickly as possible.

(Cater: “Seriously? There was kind of a lot, but I suppose that’s the power of Malleus for you…”)

Sebek insists on being able to fight alongside Malleus despite being on the shop’s team, calling himself an “unbelievable fool” for missing out on an opportunity to do battle alongside him. When the Diasomnia team loses, Sebek chastises Cater and Ruggie for being “so unjust to two men I greatly admire!” in reference to Malleus and Lilia. (Cater: “Sebek, AGAIN, you work for the shop!”)

He then tells them that they ought be grateful to received their enlightened words of gratitude.

Lilia suggests he and silver compete again together and Sebek interjects with “LET ME PLAY WHEN I GET BACK TO THE DORM TOO!” Malleus assures him that they will wait until the end of his shift and Sebek responds, “I’ll take your words to heart and engrave them on my very soul! I’ll work ten times harder than I have been!”
