[ It’s kind of nice, being heir to a fae throne when said throne is in an entirely different country. All the perks, none of the expectations. Here, he gets to take advantage of his father’s contacts, but he can also get around without anyone necessarily recognizing him. Wandering the streets of the city is totally fair game, as is observing and meeting new people.
It’s fascinating. Mortals are interesting, in weird ways. And he's never really gotten to meet other supernatural creatures, with how Denmark is ruled by the fae. So when he senses anyone around who's even barely interesting, he'll watch them for a few minutes before approaching, giving them an absolutely charming smile. He is a prince, after all. ]

It’s not very entertaining. It takes him about five minutes to get bored, but he wants to try to stick it out through the whole event. Maybe. When the next person sits in the chair across from him, he’ll raise his eyebrows in a mockery of interest, leaning forward a little in his chair. ]
Should I ask something philosophical or meaningless? [ Emery is such a catch, people. ]
