[ It's a claim Agreas isn't going to deny. Despite not exactly being eager in the overly enthusiastic sense - Elijah has got him beat there, it's absolutely radiating off the human how intrigued he is by all of this - he still knows that it's not like he's feeling apathic about all of this. There have been so many humans who wandered into his forest, but this is the first time he's ever seen one as suitable for the role of his queen as Elijah is. It's almost eerie how perfect he is.. as if it were fate.
Despite being the god of this forest, he doesn't necessarily believe in things like destiny and fate. But even despite that, there's no doubt about it that Elijah is perfect for him, and that there's no way he's ever letting go of the other anymore now. So in that sense it's a good thing that Elijah shows absolutely no signs of wanting to leave to begin with, hm?
The question from the other makes him tilt his head a little in contemplation before speaking up. ]
Humans tend to fear what they don't understand.
[ Which is, if you'd ask Agreas, not even really the worst quality about human beings - there's a lot worse things he could say about them, especially when it comes down to the way they treat nature. What he's saying right now feels more like a fact than any kind of insult to him. He's seen humans paralyzed with fear at the very sight of him, humans who immediately tried to run away, tripping over their own feet in panic.
To be fair, some of those humans saw him in a form slightly less human.. but even some of them who saw him plainly like this instinctively felt that he was something to be afraid of.
... Not that they were exactly wrong, mind you.
There's something faintly showing above his head, shimmering and almost transparent in the slight sunlight filtering through the leaves - like it's nothing more than an illusion. His crown of twigs extending up, tangling into a pair of antlers extending from Agreas' head.. and then it's gone again in an instant. ]
Are you not afraid, human?
[ He can already guess the answer to that with the way everything is going and with the look in Elijah's eyes, but he still wants to hear it from the man himself. ]
If your eagerness is greater than your fear, perhaps you should tell me your name. [ It sounds less like a request and more like an order, although not a very direct one - more like a very, very heavy suggestion. ]
