Mimi received a quick glimpse of a look from the guard that had been stationed in the back of the room, behind where everything had gone on even before they had set this summoning up to run. At suggestion of a certain house mate, at least one of the days out of Sephiroth's shifts in Aqures running security had been adjusted to incorporate standing guard in on some of these proceedings; there was always the chance that it could turn violent.

Not that he's had the (mis)fortune of being on duty for such an occasion, yet.

Ales' Calamity-self seemed to be the polar opposite of anything that could be expected. Not violent, aggressive and neither did it seem capable of being that way. It seemed almost sad, actually. Was sadness what Ales was repressing most? Yet as the scene played out in front of him Sephiroth took more of a step forward from his post, observing intently.

Before long he found that he related, but yet true to form didn't keep eye contact with anyone in the room for all that long before looking to the floor. Not so much out of avoiding attention, but out of the respect that he'd gained for Ales' despite how more than a handful of Heroes likely thought less of him recently. Sephiroth took a careful breath before voicing the opinion that rose to the surface of his thoughts.

"It's not a bad thing to be ambitious...leaving a mark behind yourself is arguably all that anyone wants out of life."
