Keiran couldn't help but blush when the serpent assumed him to be Aleiia's betrothed. That was impossible. He was just a peasant who made his living telling stories, singing, or playing his flute. She was a princess who no doubt was introduced to multiple suitors. No matter how he wished it to be otherwise, he would never be permitted to court her even if she thought of him that way. He listened as Aleiia conversed with the serpent and smiled slightly. This was a kind creature. He felt bad for them being so jaded.
"I will be more than happy to visit you as well, Great Midgard Serpent."
