Aloise blinked, "Oh that," he said, looking down with a sad smile on his face. "If it's necessary," he said, "I guess I'll tell you."<br/><br/>Aloise laid down on the grass near the willow tree and plucked a blade out of the ground, twirling it in his fingers as he spoke. "I am the only remaining member of a particular noble family, one that has been waring with another noble family for generations. The social war has been disturbing the peace of our kingdom for such a long time, and the other family thought of a way to put an end to it. Their only daughter has reached marrying age, so they arranged a marriage between myself and her. If I had gone through with it, I could have finally brought peace to the kingdom... but I refused."<br/><br/>"Don't think me a war loving fool," Aloise went on. "I wanted peace as much as the next person. But I couldn't bring myself to marry the one by whose hand the remaining members of my family were killed. But all of that is only part of the reason I was sent here. The rest is because I refused to fall in love with anybody. It's because love is the only thing that can stop hate, and I refused to accept it. It was seen in the eyes of whoever sent me here as inducing war, and belittling the value of life. I assume I won't be going back until I've somehow learned my lesson." Aloise sighed, "It's a shame, but a part of me doesn't want to go back. But I don't want to live the rest of my life as a human. How long do humans live by the way?"
