Vincent is a little surprised by how easily Irahl responds. He knows that the guy'd formed a positive opinion of his brother during their meeting, but he's never really heard the two of them talk outside of those weird first moments at his apartment door. With how quiet Irahl had been on the airship, he'd half-assumed the silence would extend to this as well.
But no, the guy's using full sentences. The interaction feels pretty comfortable, and it comes as a relief to the overprotective part of him that would otherwise be defending Irahl's boundaries against his standoffish brother. With no action to take, he smiles and leans an elbow obnoxiously on his older brother's shoulder instead. Seth puts up with it, barely reacting.
"It will be done," he states with a brief nod, "Both of you, follow me."
And then he slips out from underneath Vincent's arm (which surprises Vincent enough that he wobbles precariously for a glorious second) and begins walking down the suspended street-like platform ahead of them. If Seth is pleasantly surprised by anything during this exchange, it will be that he doesn't have to slow his pace to match humans who aren't seven feet tall.
"You will report for training immediately. We will be taking my transport to the Armadatory. My assistant will begin the administrative process while we travel."
While the path Seth is taking them down isn't devoid of people, those moving around up here seem to be doing so with purpose or a destination in mind. Very industrious. The most they'll get are a few nods at Seth as they pass by, which the man returns. The walkway itself is technically a tunnel, but every effort has been made to make it seem as open and close to nature as possible. Large, ornately-framed windows, skylights made of lightly-tinted glass, and the periodic, strategically-placed planters and water features contribute to a feeling of being somewhere peaceful and beautiful, and not in the middle of a barren, sun-scorched wasteland.
