At least as far as appearances go, Emet-Selch isn't making anything of the almost aggressively normal appearance of the apartment. But then again, he lives in it and it's entirely possible that he's used to it. That or he's had a say in how it looks, if not both.
Still, he's content enough to let Elidibus see to the actual pleasantries. Not that he wouldn't have been able to, if he had to. But he far prefers to not have to bother, when given the option. As such, he doesn't actually speak up again until Sheppard mentions magic circles and incense, at which point a scowl crosses his face.
"As if either of us would need to resort to such crude implements."
Their magic may be much reduced, yes. But that hardly means they need to resort to what Emet-Selch, at least, sees either as means by which to artificially boost their power or (less charitably) unnecessary pieces of stage dressing.
