[ Suddenly turning to face her directly does startle Zelda enough to make her flinch, but holds her ground. If he's trying to intimidate her, he's doing a good job she won't let him. ]
It is not your loyalty to Lord Diavolo that will make you a plaything here.
[ She uses his words for emphasis. ]
There are larger powers at work in this realm who see neither race nor allegiance nor creed. You will find yourself prey to dreamshifts and hideous festive sweaters alike in Songerein---moreso if you are particularly resistant to playing along.
[ It's not a threat, but more of an FYI. Songerein seems to operate on the karma system: those who play nice with others and work together to overcome dreamshifts will find themselves rewarded. Those who are belligerent against the fairies tend to find themselves punished for it. Zelda recalls a fellow dreamwalker who would thrown across the city when he would not accept no for an answer from Solei. Fairies and dream magic are tricky, finicky things. ]
