[ Hugo was nothing if not vert good at his poker face. After years of having to hide his feeling and intentions both for his home life and work life, the vampire's face remained unmoved when the gull refers to him as 'half-fae'. Especially at the bid from Flins to keep his reaction to himself for now.
No, his reaction was more in how very silent he became after deciding to play along.
'What does he mean, 'half-fae'? Last I checked, I was born to two fully, irritating elves.'
'It's not incorrect. It's a change I and Flins both sensed in you. It could instead be 'an awakening'.'
'Were you not going to inform me? Isn't that a bit important to know?? Everyone else was merely turning into animals. This is NOT the same as waking up as an otter.'
Hugo's eyes finally moved, looking at one of the gulls close to him. Taking a fry from the container he was holding (and letting his shadow hold his coffee for now), he twirls it around his fingers and then holds it out.
What is this? Even the seagulls found life without lighter lacking. How could one man hold so much on his shoulders?? ]

'Drink. If you keep upsetting yourself, it's going to alert our Fiancée. Your frantic emotions will cause him to seek you out.'
