Somewhat. [ It's offhand, like Seto is trying to play down its importance. He's not entirely proud of the things that he's done, admittedly, but in a strange, twisted way, if all his experience in creating and playing death games ends up saving him, he's going to laugh out of sheer disbelief. ] You could also say I'm intimately familiar with death. I've died once, before.

[ Obviously, he hasn't stayed dead, otherwise he wouldn't be here talking to Light. But he'll leave Light to mull over it, or react. Also, now they're getting somewhere. He makes a non-committal sound. ]

Interesting. Acting as judge, jury and-- [ Here his grin is almost sharklike, going in for the kill. ] --executioner. Colour me unsurprised.

[ Light's a fanatic idealist. Seto knows he's not a saint. That the only times that he's killed were for purely selfish reasons. Light, on the other hand? Just purely based on how he's determined himself worthy enough to mete out death? He probably thinks he is one. That it's justified.

And that's what makes the real Light Yagami dangerous. ]

By any chance, is it a magic item with ties to the supernatural? [ It's said dryly, like he's not expecting Light to take him seriously, but then again, Seto's recalled that short moment where they had been speaking with Yukina earlier in the week about the supernatural. It would make sense if it was an item, since they hadn't been able to bring any of their possessions with them - he's even surprised that his card locket made it through when he was transported here. ]
