The King is the Land in Faerie. He has known this long before October walked into his life and became his knight in all but name. The fact the land is answering their desires is a warning.
Unease and worry are the bedfellows of a King of Cats who walk the shadows and viciously defend their courts. "Yes, home in time to give our orders to the massive house order for take out. It's chinese tonight. I want those eggrolls again, the ones with the shrimp."
He follows Quentin down the path as it opens wider for them, responding to both of them as if they had always meant to walk together. He doesn't let himself examine that. The trees whisper and groan as they shake snow from their branches and new leaves grow.
"It's not just responding to me." He says, the worry growing like claws sliding forth. "It's both of us." Why? There is only ever one King of a land. Why both of them? Is it just that the land is lonely? The land doesn't answer but the road continues winding through the forest as the trees move back and a clearing is visible in the distance.
Where are they? What was this before? Worry keeps growing in him. Is this really an islet?
