He always seems to respond to claims of being incarnate Elf or Fae with something along the lines of,
"SO. You mean you're one of the vast, godlike, powerful beings of nature, older than the planet, older than time?"
Or something like that. He doesn't take well to it. Here's the way I see that.
There are different levels/calibers of fae, just like anything else. There are beings on the Celestial and Inner planes (and those at the meetingplace of the two) which probably would never incarnate. In that sense he's right. They're too vast, too all-encompassing, too old, to care about physical form and would never go there.
But what about the fae beings who are neither vast nor celestial -- and are closer to the Physical? The "almost here" beings? Wouldn't it be possible for them to decide to incarnate at one point or another? Reasons could vary - it could be they just wanted the experience - were attracted to humans and to physical form. It could be that they were attracted to a particular human, and wanted to experience a life with them. It could be that they knew about the predicament humanity would land itself in right now, and felt their presence in physical form was necessary to be able to save the planet.
I don't see one viewpoint as completely eliminating the other.
