With both redressed and heading back towards the treeline and the ruins beyond he felt rather refreshed, certainly capable of dealing with another bout of parental 'love' from his family. Oh he knew it to be a serious matter, ruling was of course but since his brothers death his father had thrown so much his way, giving him barely time to grieve before expecting him to fill the shoes his brother had left behind. It wasn't easy, his elder had been born to rule, he had a head for war, he knew how to stand almost naturally, how to ride, how to fight. He was popular with the people and he was respected among the guards, he should have been king, everyone said so and he fully agreed. Though the Kingdom was stuck with him lest he fell before his fathers death. Of course, after his earlier talk with Rei he wondered how much work his brother had put in to look that perfect, maybe he'd gone through the same as he was now, shoved into a mold he had no desire to fill. It was so hard to tell now he looked back and he no longer had the option to ask. 

Before becoming too melancholy the dappled light from the leaves hit him and distracted him, the patterns upon the ground pretty enough to blow away the cobwebs of faint memories and future concerns. Rei's voice soon catching him off guard and causing him to pay attention to the fae, "I think it only fair if I answer a query of yours, or ten." The Prince clearly didn't take it offensively, or threateningly, when Rei had spoken of his breathing ability only in tact due to the curiosity the fae felt. Though it did remind him that he was dealing with a murderer for hire that may change his mind should he not be satisfied with his treatment. It was hard to believe it while looking at this awkward teen standing in the clothes of his people, his hair mussed by wind and grass, only the pointy ears and sharp eyes, the blade at his side really serving as reminder ot the truth beneath the disguise. 

Despite this Alessandro felt no more threatened or concerned than he did in his bed chamber the night they met and showed no attempt to pull away or disengage from the boy. In fact the prince put his fingers together and behind his head to stretch out his chest and arms which had grown to feel sluggish with the relaxation at the streams edge and with a deep breath and contented sigh from his lips he unwound those taut muscle without concern at how vulnerable that made him or the ease in which one could take advantage of the situation. "Ask away Rei, you do not need to guard your words around me. Though do try to around my family and servants, they are not so...understanding."
