[Whether Onni is aware of Brook's reaction or not is unclear, because he keeps his eyes on the stew, stirring and poking at vegetables to try to make sure he cooks it the exact right amount of time. Of course, that attention to the stew is probably because he's giving Brook some privacy to process. It's something he knows he needs when presented with something new and unexpected, and so it only seems fair to give the younger man the same consideration.

It's only when Brook asks his question that Onni looks up at him, pale eyes locked on his face. For a moment or two, he's quiet, thinking about that. There aren't really things that aren't human where he's from, other than trolls and beasts and giants, and kade of course, but Brook is obviously not one of them. Then there are the gods, and well, there's a chance Brook could be one of them, he supposes.

As for whether it bothers him...he's not sure. It's certainly different, and Onni has always been suspicious of things that are too different. But still, that's something he's had to get over a little bit in this place. Everyone here is different. And he knows he likes Brook, just like he likes Gebura.

But he does Brook the honour of genuinely thinking about it before snapping off an answer.]

Bother isn't the right word. I'm curious about what you actually are, but you didn't seem like the type to share that sort of thing right away.

[A shrug, and he continues to look at Brook, head tilted just a little.]

I thought you'd tell me when you're ready. I'm willing to listen. But so far, I don't see anything wrong with you.
