It didn't matter, he'd find out in due time. And if he cared to play his cards right, during this very conversation.
That was an odd question to ask. One brow raised at the boy before returning to the statue as he replaced his hat. "Which one do you think I am, Mr. Dakest?" Really, he was curious. About so many things relating to the Hogwarts graduate that seemed a bit elusive. A slight, lopsided smile was quickly placed in the position of what would have been a frown of dislike had he not recognized that honest expression perhaps wasn't the best in this circumstance. The man was smart, he'd give him that. Answering a question with a question was always a brilliant way of gleaning more information than you were required to give.
Sabel's eyes followed Rafael's, the tips of his fingers brushing against the wand concealed beneath the sleeve of his jacket. "Normally, I would wager that entitling you to the likeness of a house elf would be both demeaning and insulting. However, your ability to account for their nature and familiarity with it, along with your surprise and confusion around the display of the centaurs and goblins, would indicate that you have a deeper understanding of the nature of the elves and may consider yourself akin to them, or have been labelled as such."
A flick of his eyes had him considering the man from the corner of his eyes. "Or, perhaps it is that you, from your less than adoring description of them, consider yourself familiar through association and dealings. And thus you find yourself, as one of the other two, surprised to be down at their level, for pride as a centaur or gold as a goblin. Though as a house elf works for neither, it would be surprising to be at their level indeed." "Then again, perhaps you stand at the pinnacle with your encompassing knowledge, but do not understand or did not expect, such an audience as you recieved." This time, he tucked his hand in his pocket, turning back to face Rafael head on as he gave an unconcerned shrug of his shoulders. "But what do I know? I'm simply a boy who was beckoned to a stand of mockery and humiliation and by free will and choice, stood upon it. There cannot be much wise thought in such a person who engages in such a practice."
