Looking over calmly at the vampiress, it was easy for him to admit to himself that the relative silence of just having her talking to him, no concerns of Sybil or other vampires... He took a great pleasure in it. Something he'd have to come to terms with is that he already so accustomed to the simple life in this realm that even the thought of retaining his position as Prince in front of Sybil seemed exhausting. "While I can't express my gratitude in a truly honest manner of your generosity and kindness, Elara, I will admit that her presence here will only lead to complications unless handled extremely carefully. I don't imagine such social intricacies would be beyond you, but I do have to wonder how you'll have the two of us under your rule."<br/><br/>Softly smiling when she grabbed his nose, it was an odd sensation. Physical affection wasn't something he'd ever really experienced. While a strong king, parts of him wished that the crown would have come second to his father's sons. After the unfortunate death of his mother, it had only gotten worse. The man his father was changed entirely, not necessarily for the worse. But not entirely for the better. A solemn man he became, and while the crown never suffered because of the king's personal loss, his family paid their due. Cyne could think of a dozen teachers, mages, and maidens who'd seen him more than his only parent. Even Sybil, who's life he was happy to have been spared. Something he imagined Sybil never would have imagined.<br/><br/>"Another thing I must admit is my surprise at your levels of acceptance Elara. Had it not been for your accompaniment into this realm, I'd still probably be under the impression that your kind was nothing more than bloodlusting savages of war. But you've shown me a truly different side of you and your kin that had not been for this arrangement of our treaty, I would have never had the pleasure of experiencing." There was still so much of this world he wanted to explore, it's ins and outs, ups and downs. But the way that the vampiress and her kind lived here was the thing that most caught his attention, the creatures like Caldwyn, or the almost-horse like creatures they'd ridden to see the ancient buried dragon. "I'm not sure I'd be able to sleep if you started a lesson now, I'd be too absorbed by this world."
