He glanced at the glass, the liquid up to near its rim, and then quite deliberately resumed pouring more into it. Rather than falling over the rim, it continued on up as though the glass extended much further than it actually did as he talked. "I'm saying that she's calling me a species that I'm not and never have been." His eyes flicked to Mallia, but she simply shrugged, putting her hands up a little, briefly - yeah, she had no idea either, sorry! - and then he looked back to the two.
"Elves are fae. Fairies are fae. But elves aren't fairies." He stopped pouring again, eyed the impossible glass-more-than-ful of it he was holding, and then raised it to take a little sip, only to not have any yet as he turned to face Harry. "Wait, you were able to learn magic? But I take it you're human, given your appearance?" Delayed reaction, get?
