[Billy slowly nods his head in approval at Csevet's explanation.]
Your Emperor sounds like a very lucky man to have such loyal subjects. I hope he is a good man worthy of it.
[Little does Billy know he's already spoken to the Emperor, and their conversation had been pleasant. He smiles at Csevet.]
Of course. It'd be rude if I just left you alone.
[When he sees Csevet reach for his elbow, Billy holds it out more for easier access to link their arms. He can't remember when was the last time he walked with someone like this, but it feels nice--the closeness, the warmth of Csevet's hand seeping through his coat sleeve. Billy's scent is like that of petrichor, pleasantly earthy, almost sweet, though some of the sweetness might also be from the opium-laced cigarettes he smokes. Jina trots along behind the pair, not at all bothered by Csevet's presence.
He listens to the way Csevet describes the elves and goblins of his world with intrigue, looking just as thoughtful.]
And I still find it mind-blowing how there aren't any humans where you're from. In my world, that's all we have, but we all look different from each other since there are many countries. The name of my birth country is Korea, so I'd be referred to as Korean, or Asian if people wanted to use something more general. Asia is the continent Korea is a part of.
[He may not have a formal education, but Billy knew his geography fairly well.]
