The prince remained silent as Rei spoke, talking vaguely about the villages but with as much information as was necessary to answer the questions wholly. Alessandro hadn't expected an answer at all but was grateful for the answers he got. His eyes roamed the quiet clearing, the grasses swaying in the wind and hissing like the waves of a sea, the gentle babbling of the stream and the forest beyond, it was so peaceful and calming. When Rei finally came to a silence Alessandro looked back to the young man, or was he old technically? So many questions bubbled to his mind about the race, their aging, if the tales were true, a good many more running in the background but he said not a word as Rei once more spoke up about how his kind survived.

When this time he was silent Alessandro grinned and shook his head, "I didn't mean it quite like that. I can see your real, touch you, feel you, speak to you. I know you exist and are there. Though it's like meeting a unicorn, don't tell me, they exist too? I've heard the tales, read the stories, seen the pictures, I didn't really believe I'd ever meet a fae, let alone be sitting with my feet in the stream with one having a casual conversation. It's a little...surreal for lack of a better word. Oh and please do not worry, I have no intention of asking you the location of any of the fae towns, while I am sure it is for your own safety and that of your kin, fae were painted the evil ones for a huge span of our history, I would not be eager to meet another any time soon, let alone a village full." He offered a somewhat playful wink before watching the fish scatter, feeling smooth scales pass the back of his ankle as he sat rather stationary. 

"Is it true that fae live for hundreds of years? Do you inherit the magic as you do breathing, or is it learned as reading and writing is? Could a human learn magic if that is the case? Have your kind got a link with plants and animals? Do you have razor sharp teeth and kill children? Do fae abduct babies and replace them with fae children instead who then grow up to murder their parents while the human child is corrupted into a goblin like state?" Alessandro paused, realising he had gotten a little carried away and laughed lightly, "Sorry, I must sound like such a child to you."
