[He's so caught off-guard by that little admission, that he hardly thinks about it when he asks the question that really shouldn't be asked--]

[He doesn't know much at all about Scaramouche save for the basic details of his creation, and that he's kind of a pain in the ass to talk to if he doesn't like you -- a category that Aether happens to fall into. And while some part of him wonders whether trying to mend that gap between them would help make life here a little less complicated, another part of him really doesn't want to bother. For all that they keep crossing paths in terrible ways, there really was no reason they needed to get along, and Aether didn't exactly want to anyway.]
[But alas, the former seems to be winning tonight thanks to a persistent bit of abject curiosity.]
