Listening to the words the elven lady spoke, Nirael found himself smiling faintly at the time Nilari mentioned her gratefulness of Lunari's safe return. He couldn't help it, the smile was warm and genuine as he was grateful too that Lunari was welcome back home even if she had set out without permission. He wanted to help, and did not wish for her to be in trouble on his behalf, though he admittedly didn't mind getting her into 'particular sort of fun trouble' of course. He wondered passingly on what to expect from the questioning though, a measure of worry starting to show as he considered the variety of topics she might bring up. Calling him a Master Mage had him partly blushed though, feeling he was not yet worthy of such high titles, though hoping he one day would. Still, her stance seemed clear. She wanted to make sure he would be right person to stand by Lunari's side, even if it wasn't mentioned to what extent she was reading into the two of them yet, and to what point she was willing to permit things. He did nod at the time, nodding approvingly at her words about loving and caring for Lunari.<br/><br/>The explanation about their world, and the way elves were, had him silently hold down a chuckle. He wasn't exactly a fellow who held onto the more prudish traditions either, being a servant of Shoni and on the road because of his amorous nature he figured the elven society had their way, the humans had their own, and the wandering eros mage had his own somewhere in between. He wasn't going to look badly upon the elven world because of his own upbringing, smiling to her calmly as he nodded his head slightly at her words about wishing and giving acceptance. He could accept the elves, and hoped they'd accept him in turn. He didn't say it outright, since it was obvious she wanted to carry on with giving her own speech about the matter at the time.<br/><br/>The instructions towards the circle were simple and the rules clear. He nod his head quietly while listening, thinking it over as he considered her words. He had no reason to lie, and he hoped she'd approve of what he had to say, but quietly told himself to speak honestly where he could. If it came down to his innermost secrets, he could request she spend more time getting to know him before asking again, though he'd promise to reveal all about himself in time. He merely worried some revelations at wrong times might hurt the trust there was, and make things awkward.<br/><br/>Nonetheless, he nodded his approval at her words, silently disrobing at her words. His magic partly spent from the battle before, but his body in fine state, the relatively smooth skinned figure baring himself to the room and moving ahead without a thread of cloth to cover himself with as he took his place in the circle, turning to face her. He intended to carry out his part in things honorably, and while he wasn't certain the circle was magical in some fashion, he planned to act as if it was, giving truthful answers then. Feeling a measure of anxiety and concern going through his mind whether or not they'd be approved, or rather if he and his actions were approved, but knowing he had come too far to back away just because of 'what if' questions on his mind.<em>'Time to face the music', he thought to himself silently.</em>
