Kai manages to look amused, to offer a sheepish smile. "I've got a story, but it's up to you to decide if it's true or not." He's used to being greeted with a certain amount of disbelief from humans, can't imagine an unsidhe having much more sympathy. Better by far to make it something that can be laughed off, even if that might make Marco annoyed.

"Grew up in a cell. My mother was...a sidhe prisoner. I didn't know her, but one day one of my guards snatches me and takes off running. Don't know if he thought he could get reward money from the sidhe side of my family or what, but I don't think they were interested. The guard ends up losing me in a poker game to Dempsey, an asshole human Stalker." Kai's voice is touched with fondness for Dempsey, despite the words.

"Dempsey more or less raised me, to follow in his footsteps." Kai decides this is a great time to finish off his (Marco's) glass.
