[ He doesn't give an answer to what Elijah is asking at first. Probably mostly because the question itself makes it clear enough that they both know the answer to that question. Sure, Agreas might not exactly be the type who walks around among humans and understands everything about them and their society (far from it), but he does have a pretty decent understanding of what is normal to them and what isn't.. and so he knows that humans finding someone like him wandering around in the forest is a pretty weird thing to him. Not just his general appearance, but with Elijah being as close to him as he is right now, Agreas is sure Elijah can see that something about Agreas' eyes is a little off, like they're much older than they ought to be for his physical appearance. The closest thing the other gets to a reply is a low hum, like he's telling Elijah to consider the question.
But it isn't like he's planning on being mysterious here forever. Sure, he's already been looking for his queen for a long time, so it's not like a few moments more or less are really going to matter at this point. But he does want to keep Elijah as interested as he seems right now, and no matter how convinced he already is about the other's potential, the best way to fully test him on whether or not Elijah can fulfill that position is to just drop the bombshell and see the human's reaction to it. ]
You're going to be my queen.
[ Short and simple - Agreas doesn't even blink as he says it, like it's a totally normal thing to tell someone. It is to him though.. being a forest demon god and all, just picking someone to be his queen isn't all that weird. It doesn't even matter that Elijah is a guy. It isn't about the femininity of the title of queen, it just means someone who will be his side as the king of this forest. His companion for a long time.
And Elijah... well, he does seem perfect. But if he doesn't react all that well, then it's not like there's much stopping Agreas from killing the human if he tries to run away or anything of the sort - it'd suck to start his search all over again, but if it has to be done, then so be it. ]
