Ari decided to be really cautious with Red the very next day. He didn't expect her to turn cold on them when she learned she was the only one oblivious to the existence of Faeys - more so that Granny Cane was once one of them.
It felt just like yesterday that he witnessed the banishment of the Canes as they were stripped away by the Queen herself of their magic.
It wasn't a pretty sight. The royal family with which Granny Cane's sister was betrothed to had made sure the Courts would take their side. That the Canes had abandoned their duty to the Kingdom and tolerated the insolence of their daughter.
At the period, Ari was only a apprentice in the Faey Militia directly under the Courts. Archer on the other hand had been off to train on his own, disregarding the tradition of the Elfen race of serving as warriors of the Faey Courts.
Archer was as much of a stubborn jerk back then as he was today.
