Ethelred wasn't surprised by the occupant's unpleasant response.  These people were clearly scared, and for those already living in fear of the Unseelie, it was understandable that they'd see someone like Ethelred and assume him to be with them.  However, it still left him dealing with the difficulty of getting answers.

One option would be to attempt to reason with the people, convince them that if they're right and he's an Unseelie, then it'd be most unwise to be uncooperative.  On the other hand, he didn't want to scare or coerce these people, and like Elnith said, fear could push them to act rashly.  It would be best to play it nice, although it'd take longer to coax answers out of these people.

Fortunately for the Frozen Knight, someone else in the house answered him.  A woman on the second floor looked down at him and, after correctly concluding he was not an Unseelie, asked what he was.  Now they were getting somewhere.

[color=6ecff6]"No, my lady, despite my appearances, I am a human,"[/color] he answered her.  [color=6ecff6]"Rest assured, I am no friend of those wicked fey, and neither are my companions.  We've heard rumors of Unseelie around here and were sent by Queen Sorcha to help you.  If your household is unwilling, is there someone that we may speak to that could explain exactly what is going on?"[/color]
