At first he feels afraid, but is quickly beyond truly caring. As soon as the duke calls him a guest Cale feels a burst of cold humour.
'Guest' my ass.
What bullshit.
Once the fae has finished his speech and disappeared he stays silent for a moment.
Then he bursts out laughing.
"Ha! How surprising!" He chuckles. "The Unseelie duke defending the honour of the Seelie king? Maybe the alliance isn't so tenuous after all?"
What useful information to have.
"It's true that I cannot comprehend your lives, but I wouldn't want to. I respect and admire your ability to maintain your sanity through countless years of loss and loneliness." It's spoken in earnest, laughter gone for the moment. "It was my choice to stay as a pathetic mortal because I didn't want to live such a life myself.
So, if you're still here, I appreciate the compliment and the information Lord Lux of the Unseelie Court."
Cale gives an exaggerated-but-proper bow to the ruler's table, not caring who may or may not be there.
"I'm going to go try and get wasted so I can forget tonight!" Not that it would work. "If her highness Javora or the lady Zorya want to join later I have another bottle Henituse red. Duke Lux can come by as well if he wants to try some dalgona dessert."
Cale doesn't actually expect any of them to stop by. He gives a half-bow and waves farewell.
