"Hmm...." The self-proclaimed king of elves glanced from Harry back to Kyoko. He could clearly see the phantoms around her, his light blue eyes glancing from one to another, though he didn't otherwise react to her display, his amused little smile never leaving. "....On second thought, I see why your friend taught you as he did. By all means, should you meet an elf wearing all leather... please do address them as 'fairy'. Especially one with green in his hair."
That sobered up Mallia fairly quickly. "All right, that's enough. Kyoko, poppet... Corn has never had an inheritance in a world that isn't his. Perhaps he does where you're from, but he's no prince of ours. And nothing he taught you has any basis in relation to us. Please, you need to understand...."
Her friend rolled his eyes, sighing, but didn't protest further. Fine, spoil his fun!
"Where I come from," she continued, stepping around the table to put herself between Kyoko and her friend's image, "There is nowhere called Avalon. There is also no prince among my kind. I certainly have no children! He has no children!" If he was going to position himself as a king, and her as a queen, she might as well make it plain that her Corn friend didn't fit into-- ...wait. It only struck her after the words were out that she probably didn't want to play into that, on account of giving Kyoko more flawed-at-best ideas about her people's social structures to run wild with. The girl already wasn't listening; how wise was it? Oh well, that could be a problem for later.
"No, no, no...." He put a hand on her shoulder, stepping out again from behind her to stand a bit further away from the table. "I'd love a chance to apologize to his face for anything I've said so far that's actually wrong. You want him to be my heir, then show him to me so that I may adopt him! He can be my very first ward!"
