Was he apologizing for letting this elf in unannounced? Or for the fact that the elf had launched into inappropriate comments the moment he entered?
Or maybe he was apologizing for the string of extremely uncomfortable and invasive questions the elf had just been directing at Leonide under the guise of "academic interest"?
Or perhaps, most recently, for the fact that the elf had shifted his interest to Damien, suggesting with unsettling confidence that Damien looked "open to it"?
Whatever the reason, Sebas didn't need to apologize personally. Damien thought it would be much more fitting for this elf to be on his knees groveling.
The elf, who had his arm draped casually over Damien's shoulder, called out cheerfully, waving at Sebas. "Oh, Sebas, my boy! Has it been a while, huh? Have you been keeping well? What's this—did you shrink a bit?"
Meanwhile, Leonide, standing next to Damien, was doing his utmost to restrain Damien from punching the elf.
