Silver and Sebek (pt7)

We see Silver apologize often for Sebek during Halloween, and in a vignette where Silver is patrolling the school grounds he decides to inform Sebek and Lilia that Idia is in the courtyard, as, “If Sebek ran into him, the consequences could be an incident all in itself.”

When it is revealed that the Fairy Gala group originally went to Sebek for help—not Silver—and Sebek immediately refused, Silver apologizes and says he will talk to him about his attitude.

Silver also apologizes “Sebek’s lack of manners” during the Glorious Masquerade event, and for Sebek’s volume in Book 7. 

Silver is the only person to volunteer to go find Jamil’s missing group during Vargas Camp, and when Ruggie asks Sebek if he will not go along as well since they are always together, Sebek says that Silver “makes for a more competent guardsman than the rest of the rabble”.

Ruggie responds, “Sounds like you just admitted he’s good at what he does.”

Sebek also compliments Silver during Fairy Gala, saying that Silver’s deep affinity for woodland creatures made obtaining their assistance “a trivial task” and complimenting the confident way that Silver carries himself on the runway: “He looks right at home amongst (the fairies). None of you could pull that off!”

While looking for Silver in the darkness of Lilia’s dream Sebek says, “Silver has easily faced foes many times worse than these things. He’ll be perfectly fine.”

When Lilia talks about never liking children Silver looks discouraged, and it is Sebek who suggests that maybe something will change Lilia’s mind in the future. Silver thanks him.

While searching for Silver in the darkness Sebek threatens to tell the prefect and Grim an embarrassing story from a fishing trip they once took together. He is interrupted by a darkness-attack, but when Grim later asks what it was he was talking about Sebek claims to have forgotten.

Grim has trouble understanding why looking so similar to the Dawn Knight has troubled Silver so much and Sebek explains that they also possess the same ring, making it safe to say that they’re connected somehow.

Grim asks, “How’re you ever supposed to sleep at night if you worry about stuff from the way distant past?” and Sebek explains that the Dawn Knight isn’t in the “distant past” to people as long-lived as Lilia, Malleus and his grandfather, and he understand why Silver would feel the way he does, as his own father’s distant ancestors were possibly involved in the near-eradication of the fae, as well. “But,” Sebek says, “that’s hardly any reason to blame himself.
