IANTO
The other man could be unpleasantly blunt at times, Ianto decided, and he felt himself prickle - perhaps not exactly because of the people in the Hollowed Grounds, but because of those he knew who had been thrown into the same place without warning. "I wonder if you'd feel the same way about me and my wagon, had I been spat into the Hollowed Grounds instead of the Greatwood," he murmured, playfully narrowing his eyes as he was commanded to think.
"I think I'll be able to manage," he said, verbally waving off Oli's spooky jungles and hungry deserts and the dramatic tightening around his neck. "You know nothing about me, after all. I am a traveller myself, and between where I have been and what Arduinna has shown me, the ocean ought to be a doddle. Besides, you might like being her ward. You never know."
All very entertaining, but of course he knew the wild Fae would never actually go for it. He tutted at the accusation of predictability, shrugging his shoulders on purpose to try and make the route the snake wanted to take a little more difficult.
"Not really. I fell into the Greatwood from another place, and I was stuck here. She showed me through the woods and gave me good standing with the Fae who live here. In return..." He waved a hand at the collar. "It seemed like nothing at the time. I was alone, so... anything better than that was great."
