I would have thought it was to see how he reacts to “my love” since we are are both clearly elven lineage. And that Alten tested her earlier with the making babies demo.
The arrow takes the fake Alten in the back and bursts through his chest. The visage of Alten fades revealing the corpse like elf's twisted grimace as it falls forward headfirst into the spike pit.
Remember, Alten is the cute and charming, but not-too-bright, jock.
He might take that comment seriously.

Yeah that was the "test" I was referring to.
Insight check for deathlock.. 6
Edit:
"My love? What are you talking about? Let's just get out of here.. been stuck down here too long..."
Are we in initiative still or has this turned to RP? The Alten on the far side of the pit calls out
Hey handsome, what's my mom's name? What does Talien want a demonstration of?

You can speak freely.. but, we will resume initiative with Arxius if something interesting occurs...
"Umm.. Mom?"... Looking around... "Lets go already..." moves forward one square (5ft).
Wow. "Mom". Nice try *******. I'm a foundling. I never called the woman who raised me "mom"

Shrugs and takes another 5'.. right at the edge of the pit now.
Shake, still in the tunnel, yells out, "What's going on out there? Is Alten monologging with his demonic weapon again?"

You swing and miss. "Alten" yells, "What the hell are you doing!?"
Rees is up!
"I mean, it was a good try." Rees shrugs and fires an arrow at fake!Alten "Not that good of a try though. I could do better..."
Attack: 5 Damage: 11

The arrow takes the fake Alten in the back and bursts through his chest. The visage of Alten fades revealing the corpse like elf's twisted grimace as it falls forward headfirst into the spike pit.
Alten steps forward and looks down into the pit at the body, presumably impaired on the spikes.
I’d say you did better.
