" you won't like what you'll see. " — @2wanlake

her warning does nothing to deter him — the promise of dawn approaching echoing throughout the forest. birds sing, beasts stirring in nearby burrows, a more dangerous threat in itself. those that lurk in these woods, with their gaping maws, turn humans into ribbons with a single strike. if she stays: it won't be long before they're circling around her, sinking their claws into flesh & carelessly spilling blood. he only gives her a simple shrug, adjusting his sleeves, lacking any sort of urgency. " i also won't particularly like to see you ripped to shreds out here. " a click of his tongue, head tilting to observe the stranger. his eyes sparkle with intrigue, curious as to what exactly she's so afraid of, if not that. " but, if you wish to experience the creatures that lurk in this forest ... by all means. "

" that's all rather subjective, hm? " he takes no offense, it's clear in his unwavering expression — still cold, though his shrug is relaxed. much worse has been whispered about him amongst other fae: a monster crafted from nightmares. he has been painted as the villain for as long as he can remember. the last choice he made of his own, to keep his court standing. " a high lord doesn't get the pleasure of doing what he wishes. disappointingly so. "

"no, i suppose you don't. that's how villains exist." she doesn't look at him when she says this. instead, thin fingers pick at a piece of lint on the sleeve of her dress. "are you a villain in someone's story?" the words are out of her mouth before she can think better of them. at least she has the decency to look embarrassed. watchful eyes assess him. "you look like the sort of person who does what they want. i have a feeling things usually go in your favor. am i wrong or did i misjudge you?"
