[Perhaps you might have been able to handle the situation-- Well, no; Sebastian wouldn't have, not in the state he was in; he knows that. Jedao knows that.
His first instinct is to assume Jedao's making fun of him with that comment... but, no, he realises: he's trying to minimise the indignity of the whole thing.
As if Sebastian needs to have his feelings spared.
There's a few moments of silence on Sebastian's end as he fights down the irritation - snapping at Jedao isn't what he's supposed to be doing right now.]
...Far be it from me to suggest you should not fulfil your duties or compromise your sense of aesthetics, of course.
[Jedao strongly suspects he couldn't have - but he doesn't know for sure. He didn't know Sebastian could survive that long at all, so there could have been other powers he didn't know about. Jedao himself only managed by being smart, not strong, and Sebastian has a sharp tactical mind.
But he had been in a rather awful position.]
I don't believe you've done me any injury, nor failed in anything I might have reasonably demanded of you. However, if you feel that rendering an apology is required by your own honor, then of course I accept.
That is all I wished to convey. [Had this been a few months ago, when Sebastian was still pretending very hard to keep up the "just a normal butler n_n" thing, he might have added something about being glad that Jedao's doing better. But well.]

Re: After the scary sword plot
You're welcome, Mr. Michaelis.
[Jedao considers saying I hope you're feeling better himself, but that feels like laying it on a bit thick.]
Good day.
Re: After the scary sword plot
Good day. Until later.
