"..I see. Then they truly have nothing they can offer me. I have no use for objects, and there is no-one they can hope to bring me or tempt me with." Not even his mother, now that he knew the truth of what she'd done. Had his older self not interfered, not warned him of Lucrecia Crescent and that she too was a scientist to her core, then maybe he would have been an easier target.
He would be anyway in time, but to far easier questions. Like his name.
Reassured that no temptation would be worth his time, the issue of the fae is simply put away for later. It might be interesting to see them try, but even something as precious as his mother's locket was now irrevocably tainted. "It is good you are enjoying yourself."
Except for where Elidibus felt obligated to follow people beyond the festival grounds and into the sheltering boughs of the forest. He shifts a little in place, a restless motion, when it's declared they're friends again. "..You may pursue them as you wish. I'm in little danger." Not if that's all that was at risk! Objects! People he's supposed to care about! "It would be unfortunate if another fell prey to such lures as trinkets while you were distracted with my presence."
