With a roll of one shoulder he took a grape from the stalk and turned it in his hand as he responded, "I have met very poor [i]people[/i] in my life time." He uttered, punctuating the 'people' comment with a small squeeze to the grape. "He is one of the few people I've met who isn't a shallow empty shell driven by little more than self service and arrogance." A far better person than he was for instance, he popped the grape in his mouth and with a couple of chews, he swallowed it. "If he came in you'd have little choice but to kill him. Which is why I am telling you now, do not touch him." There was a vague smile on his lips. "If you find it insulting or endearing his hardly any of my business mister killer. The only one who can determine the worth of another's words is the listener after all." 

As the creature speaks the prince chuckles, "Is that what you think? I think you are very much still a threat. A fae murderer is out to kill me, I can not be more scared, for a start my father has told the Kingdom the fae have long since left our shores and none has been seen for hundreds of years. An assassin got into my room and attacked me while I slept and now like a cat toying with a mouse is waiting until he grows bored to end it." He wasn't being sarcastic, he was being quite genuine, with a sip of his wine he sat himself up from his half lounge and ran his fingers through his hair. "I simply don't care if you decide to kill me or if you decide not to. I am rather sick and bored of playing this game over and over again putting the people I care about in danger just to prolong my life until the next murderer turns up wanting my blood. Any moment now my sweet little sister could come running in as she sometimes does if she has nightmares, my loyal servant might decide he has forgotten some small detail and come to fix it, the guards, my father, any number of people who live here could die tonight just so you can kill me and I don't want that on my conscience any longer." 

With a deep breath he nodded when the fae said he would not reveal his employers name, "Quite right too." He uttered quietly, shifting up from the table and taking a final grape between his lips, "Well then here are my last words and then you better get on with it. You can dress it up anyway you like to but the simple fact is you're nothing more than a common killer and the money you get will never be enough to fill that ever growing abyss in your heart. You probably don't even know what it is so I'll tell you, it's despair and loneliness and you can throw all the money and jewels in the world at it but it'll only get bigger and deeper and blacker and colder until every time you kill is the only time you can escape it. You might be killing me tonight Fae, but in the end, you're killing yourself as well." He gave a sorrowful smile to the blond haired creature on his bed, one of true pity almost and then, with hands behind his back, he waited.
