Still straight to the point, and you're thinking at least. Guessing being kidnapped by the Fae isn't the most unusual thing that's happened to you.
[Spike studied the kid a bit more. Absurdly skinny and lanky, but he carried himself with confidence. Couldn't be more than 17, and was probably somewhere around that range. Unusual hair and eye color...might be something in his bloodline then. Or just unusual colorings were natural in his world.
In turn, it was clear Spike was doing a threat-assessment. He held himself loosely, but confidently and with a base level of attitude. A non-chalance that said he didn't really care about all of this, but was studying it all anyways. He knew the coat made him look slightly smaller than he was, and Spike was not a 'big' man already. All compact muscle on a lean frame. All black helped him hide this further though, with his coat.]
Answering your question, congrats--you've been kidnapped by the Fae. If you're lucky, one of the 8 court rulers will adopt you and you'll be staying here and trapped. If not? We don't know what happens to you. Maybe you go home. Maybe you get eaten.
[A shrug.]
When I say fae, I mean fairies. The Good Neighbors. Old and ancient and Eldritch beings often considered alien to human and human ways of thinking, as they can't really be understood or operate on the same morality. Why they've been bringing us and adopting us? Couldn't tell you. We seem to be somewhere between pets, prisoners, toys or just a combination of all 3.
Near as I can tell, this started about....6 months ago or so? Not sure what changed. More recently, the courts have started feuding again as the Unseelie and Seelie were at least getting along enough to present a united front until about a month or two ago.
