[ There were so many realms, beings and laws to keep up and it might overwhelm anyone who found out the sheer size. It came across as endless but everything held a beginning and an ending, even if shrouded by something or someone. An ending could, of course, be unending in a way, a sort of cycle through which marked various passing. All of which Kai knew of considering his newly discovered status as a selkie prince and the lessons they made him endure to one day assume control and run the watery kingdoms. Poseidon happened to be the patron guardian but the selkie held onto the seat of power. All other seaward beings looked to their rule.

Nothing at all to panic about!

Eyes lingering on the decadence, Kai's heart sunk more in his chest. The more standoffish tone to the place unsettled him and spoke more about the man he suddenly found himself bound to. What would the Council say? How would they deal with the newly forged alliances?

Sitting when prompted, the riddle like tone made more sense with the grand reveal. A seelie. Oh no. They were dreadful and always so tricky. A person could never place too much faith nor trust in a seelie because they knew just how to evade everything to achieve their ultimate means. The one in front of him had a younger appearance but no telling his actual age. ]

The forest smell is more of your seelie scent. I don't think you can just ...get rid of it.

[ With a frown, he pocketed the ring box and gave a tiny nod of his head. ]

I'm Kai and pleasure to formally meet you. [ He held out a hand, trying to mind his manners as best as he could.

The what will I write part kept twisting at him. ]

What do you write?

[ Seelies couldn't lie but they knew how to work around. ]
