Sebastien: ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Ash: *snicker*


Valentine: Why not? It's much better than a hotel, and it's close by so you can come over whenever you want.


Sebastien: It's completely unacceptable. I don't like him.


Valentine: ...oh. He really wanted to help out too... I'll go tell him you're not interested then...
Sebastien: !


Sebastien: I'm sorry, I just don't like the idea of leaving you alone again. I probably got a bad first impression, I'm sure we'll get along just fine.
Valentine: Are you sure? I don't want to make you do anything...


Sebastien: Don't worry about it.
Valentine: Really?
Sebastien: Absolutely.


Valentine: Great! I'll go tell him!
Sebastien: *sigh*

 

 


Ash: Hold up? I wanted to ask you something.


Valentine: Sure! What is it?


Ash: You need to make Sebastien promise not to tell anyone else in Avalon that you're here.
Valentine: Why...?


Valentine: OH! Because then more people won't show up trying to get me to go back before I'm ready! Of course! Thanks Ash, I should have thought of that.


Ash: ...yeah. I really hope that's the only reason.



Commentary:
Who'd have though Valentine had a manipulative bone in her body?
