I can't say I like it any better. If I wanted to be in any spotlights, I'd have made myself part of the Phantom Five rather than drag Edward or Soma into it. [They both know how well that had turned out for the latter. Edward had simply gotten an earful from Francis.]

I'm not sure I could be safer with you here. Whatever kind of trouble would I find myself in if you weren't? [Really. Sebastian had always enjoyed pointing out that he had a talent for finding trouble.]
