Fated Elves Triggers

The Elven King's Captive

• Captivity/Kidnapping—Casersis keeps Dustin somewhat captive because Dustin is undergoing DNA rewrites to change him from Human to Elf. This started on accident when Dustin fell into him and touched a magic amulet.
• Cringy Idiots—Okay, look. Casersis is millions of years old, okay? Have you ever heard the saying that people become more childlike as they age? ("A man growing old becomes a child again." —Sophocles.) Well, it's true in a lot of cases. In good cases for Elves, it is a sign they're becoming wiser because to live forever as Elves do, you must keep a childlike wonder and keep learning new things. It's necessary for their mental health. In Casersis's case, he's a very family-oriented omega.
  His son, Kennan, turned his back on his father and exiled Casersis to Earth for daring to be against his non-soulbound pairing, refusing to marry them. After about four thousand years of exile, being alone, very, very rarely seeing another elf (only one!), and being in a constant battle against Erastus (a wolf shifter called a Wolvan), Casersis's mind has devolved into a clingy, traumatized mess. He clings to Dustin as a part of his family because he has none and hasn't for a very long time. And he and Dustin keep having the same/similar arguments and conversations because that's how trauma sometimes works.
• Deception—Casersis deceives Dustin because he's scared of Dustin leaving him. (He's lonely and it's driven him a bit batshit.)
• Gaslighting—Casersis tries it, but Dustin calls him on his bullshit and he knocks it off like a good omega. He didn't mean to be gaslighting, didn't realize that's what it was, he just wants to keep Dustin safe and is a former king, so he's not used to having to explain himself.
