Nodding at the man's response, Alina chose not to comment on it. Instead, as a raven flew down from above, she held out her arm for it. It closed its talons on her wrist and cawed.
Tilting her head to one side, she smiled, as unexpected and fleeting as his own had been. "Not many feel as you do." Expression neutral one more, she sighed as he continued speaking. "I can't say I'm much of a soldier either. In general, the Fae...we are not the army type. Warriors, yes, but not the kind to meet our opponents on the open field." Shrugging, she rubbed her wrist.
Looking away from him, she frowned. "Ah. So the old gods ripped you from your husband and that is understandably distressing to you." She tapped her foot again. "What, exactly, were your instructions from them?" If she had thoughts about his shifting, she kept them to herself.
