You should have some "fun" too then. It's only fair, isn't it?

--what? I have fun. Do--do people think I don't have fun?

Do you care what people think about what fun you do or don't have?

I don't care, I just don't want people to have the wrong impression of me. It could lead to awkward interactions.

Sounds an awful lot like caring.

There's a distinct difference! I have to keep up a persona too, you know!

Go on! Do tell! What persona is that exactly? Tell me all about it!

Don't make that face at me!! It's nothing to be giddy about! I'm just--I'm supposed to be the helpful, nice unassuming one, you know? Everyone else is way flashier than me, so i rather just appear a little more lowkey, but likeable.

Flashy...? Who's flashy?

Are. . .are you being serious? All of you! [gestures with his hands]

Tea's a damn dragon! And not to mention beautiful to boot! W's a real life action hero, and those wings could catch anyone's eyes! F is super charming and smart and always showing off his weird inventions, R's a little bundle of sunshine, and even if you, even when you're just acting, you're bubbly and friendly. Not to mention anyone who didn't know you would be taken in by your little fairy act, hook, line, and sinker.

You're all amazing!

All of Alcheme are honorary fae. That includes you. That is...to varying degrees, we all lack memories. So our forms are all unknown. We've merely used a poet's pen to give us shape and give name to our airy nothing.

That is. . .weirdly poetic. Since you said honorary, I'll take it as a compliment? But I think I'm just exactly what it says on the tin. A conman. We're just really good at blending in.
