A low laugh rumbles through him and he can't help a smile. "I am."
But that's not what he needs to talk to her about. He smooths his smile out into a more sober expression. She needs to understand. To properly understand.
"I don't know what ice sirens are like, but being a Winter spirit makes me... different from humans. I'm almost exactly the same as you except for three months of the year." He shifts in his seat and looks her in the eye. "When it's my Season, when it's Winter, I'm... I'm not human. I don't think like you, or feel like you."
He heaves a sigh as he thinks how best to explain. "It's like... It's like being a wild animal. I don't mean to be bad or good. I don't react well to people trying to train me. I am what I am. I don't recognise my friends the same way. My friends are people who are useful to me, but I only... I only really feel love for Winter."
There's worry in his eyes as he searches her face. "Does that scare you?"
