He'd made a mistake, he could tell from the way she repeated him, unfamiliar with the title. Anxiety twisted in his gut, but she didn't seem to be offended by his lack of recognition. Her smile was downright pleased, in fact, and she even allowed him a better look at the gorgeous wings that gleamed in the sun larger than any mortal butterfly's pinions. He was distracted by them for a long moment, but her voice brought his attention back to her as she waved off his confusion and left him feeling even more embarrassed at his slip into treacherous honesty. He nodded humbly at her vague suggestion.
He was surprised to hear that she wasn't native to this land, and he glanced out reflexively towards the ocean as if he would spy her ship waiting there, where none had been before. "Oh... I... I've never seen the sea before," he admitted, wilting a little as he realized she wouldn't be able to help him much at all, if she was as unfamiliar with this place as he was. "I've only ever known the Forest and the area around it. We weren't close to any oceans. Can you at least tell me what this place is called?"
He hesitated, blush deepening as he realized his rudeness, and he hastily placed a hand over his heart and lowered his eyes. "I'm called Kellan, of the Guithair Grove. Honor to your clan, Fair One."
