He nodded his head in her direction. Clearly she was unfamiliar with men of his caliber of power. To be immortal, and to be able to choose your shape at will, without the need for exercise or time spent doing much of anything else. His days were eternal. He was, in essence, forever. He was just a broken man working through is frustrations with the world around him.. because clearly being born royal and a magician and then having them taken away from him was not enough of an entitled life.
He looked at Altaira then, and giving her a sardonic look, he put away this entitlement frustration away, and tried his best to portray the role of the normal man. “Yes. One must always work the muscles if they want to live a long and healthy life.” He tried to keep his face straight, but he wasn’t sure how well he did. He would keep his abilities from her as long as possible, if it meant at least being normal to someone. Perhaps he could, just this once, pretend to be one of them.
Ashley remembered why he was back on the mainland, and when it appeared that perhaps she was not going to make the swim, or take the path that he had offered, he thought very strongly about taking his leave from her to make his way up the mountain. Perhaps it was time. To finally make the trek up to have the fairies explain to him why this travesty had to be brought upon the entire land. Was the world of the Sunrise so corrupt that the whole thing had to be thrown asunder? It was a question that he was not sure had been asked, but he intended to find out. And he intended to get his magic back. However, he is shocked when he realizes that she is volunteering to come with him. Altaira tests the name of the island on her tongue. He nods, taking a sigh and turning his body back towards the coast, from whence he came. “Come then, Altaira,” Ashley says. “Your new home awaits.”
