Eilonwy absorbed everything and nodded at the mention of not assuming Vaeros saw them as enemies. At the mention of love, she looked off to the side in thought.
"Wooing by showing off magic, and instead of showing one's entire heart, especially if you've been hurt before, you keep it hidden. You hurt others by writing cruel things about them or by removing their abilities.." Eilonwy trailed off as she looked back to Loki.
"It's.. That idea isn't uncommon, but I've never heard of a ruler working that way. You don't gain the trust of your subjects by being mercurial." It clicked, and Eilonwy rubbed between her eyes with a sigh.
"But you would do that if you were a fairy. Because that's how they operate. All we can do is prepare, then." It did make sense, but from Eilonwy's tactical viewpoint, it was just badly planned. Loki's mention of it being 'real', stuck out.
"...The townspeople. Their love for him isn't real. What if everyone here is part of the second test?"
