[ With how Ryan starts, Sebastian prepares himself for the sorts of questions that are perhaps a bit more obvious, though unfortunately, they're not ones he'll be able to answer. Anything to do with this place has him somewhat at a loss, since he's only just arrived himself, and he's ready to answer in kind. An annoying answer, he finds, since he prides himself on his perfection, but easily remedied in time.
He nods, and his gaze briefly turns sympathetic as he expects to deliver that news, but he's quickly stopped once Ryan gets to his actual question.
Outwardly, his surprise is polite, but perplexed. The question itself seems surprising, but it's not particularly telling to what the answer may be. However, inwardly, Sebastian is much more sharply suspicious. It's exceptionally rare that anyone can identify him so immediately. It tends to imply that they're also something else themselves, and from looking at this man... He's not at all sure if that's the case. Unfortunately, his own sense for such things was quite dull.
His response is carefully crafted in its tone of gentle surprise. ]

I beg your pardon? What ever do you mean?
