Arrakis tensed at the question, his eyes sharply flashing brighter with the secrets he couldn't tell. His magic resonated with his emotions and he focused on Finnick's touch in order to keep himself from getting lost to the weightless embrace of his magic. His eyes narrowed as he answered.

"My magic is dangerous." After being enthralled by the green knight he had no right to hide the potential threat of his magic. With Finnick living in the castle he deserved to know that much. He knew his answer was vague and he was tired of keeping the truth about his magic a secret. Finnick's presence pulled a hint of the truth out of him and he hesitantly continued, "And it has already cost too many people their lives." His eyes softly burned brighter with the deep guilt he struggled to keep out of his expression.

At hint of that guilt lingered in his voice for a brief moment as he talked about his world. However it was quickly replaced with a fragile happiness that was reflected in the soft glow of his eyes as he looked up at the stars.

"According to legend the ancient gods used to live among mortals but they chose to leave and moved their kingdom to an invisible realm in the sky only the gods can see. Children are named after the constellations of that hidden sky in order to get the ancient gods' blessing. That's the story anyway, but it was also a clever way for our ancestors to keep aspects of the world they left behind when they were exiled, while hiding the truth and their connection to another world." His smile wavered slightly. "My friends and I only learned the truth a few years ago."

The truth had shattered his entire world and his eyes brightly resonated with his words.
