(( Well here's a fresh new face on the network. He smiles brightly and waves at the camera as if addressing good friends he hasn't seen in a while. The same hand that waved, cards through his messy dark hair more out of habit than anything else. ))

Hiii~ My name's Will. You can probably guess I'm new here. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this and sorry for being repetitive. I'm looking for someone: a cute fellow Fae with striking blond curls. If you've seen him, could you please let me know? If not, I'll just have to search elsewhere!

Thanks in advance!

(( Another wave, some finger guns, and he cuts the feed. ))

(( Compassion fills his eyes. ))

I'm sorry to hear about your eldest. I hope his life is a comfortable one.

(( But then he gives a dramatic gasp at the revelation of the youngest not smiling! ))

Kinn, Kim, and your eldest is a K as well?

[What a different life it would have been if Kim was like this! So strange!]

Close! Tankhun. But thank you. He manages well enough.

Oh.

(( He sounded a little disappointed that the eldest wasn't also a K. What a missed opportunity! HE shakes it off quickly enough and offers a warm smile. ))

If my friend's brothers are well, then I'm content.

Well they're not here so I'm sure they're doing a lot better.

[Here Kinn was thinking the rest of the Fae were scraggly little leprechauns. This is different.]

Do you have any siblings?

(( He bobs his head to indicate that yes, he does indeed have siblings. ))

Oh, yes! I have very many. Some older, most younger. There may even be some I've never met.

[That earns Will Kinn's classic 'huh?' Expression.]

Are Fae part rabbit?

(( That earns a hearty laugh. ))

Some are! Mostly, it's just that we're very long-lived, compared to humans.

[Of course there's more than one immortal around here!]

My world has no one like that- that I know of anyway.

[Pauses a beat, and his face turns serious]

Are you being chased about by the others, too?

(( Will shakes his head to indicate the negative, causing his unruly hair to to flop around his face. ))

They don't want anything to do with me. I was kicked out of the Court for... differences of opinion.

[This pretty much paints a picture for Kinn: the Exiled and the Fugative team up.]

Well, if they show up, my family and I will help. I told Riley we would stand by him and he has a safe place in our house if he needs it. I will extend the same to you.

[Because thats how Kinn rolls]

That's very kind of you. Thank you.

He trusts you this much, I can extend the same.

[ Until you prove otherwise, you are an ally, Will. ]

You're a good brother to him, Kinn. For that, I thank you.

[Gratitude and politeness from his brother--not brother! This is just all too weird for him.]

Riley was the first person I met here in a place that is wholly outside of my element. And I understand what it could be like to be on the run. He's a piece of sun in a stormy sky.

(( will's smile is soft and warm. Very fond. ))

That he is.

So... You've known him for a while, right? Even if he doesn't know it.

[Because Kinn has spotted... things ]

You're sweet on him?

I would rather not discuss his future. I don't want to influence how he behaves now with the knowledge. I'm a big believer in free will.

[He takes the non-answer as the true answer. ]

Huh. He was right.

About?

Can't lie on direct questions.

[Oh hes so smug!!]

It's true. We can't lie.

I wondered about a good way of testing the theory. Thank you for helping out!

[an impromptu test, but a good one, in his book!]

I won't tell him.

(( his affection for Riley is probably obvious to anyone with eyes and two functioning brain cells. But he appreciates Kinn offer of discretion nonetheless. ))

Thank you.
