He was antsy, but attentive. Thoughts of where he might go, what he might do to find what Erzulie asked for, and all the places he could explore, filled his mind. He also thought about Nieve; he wanted to share this development with her, this quest, unaware she would be tasked with her own - and equally oblivious to the reason his mother would be sending them away.

When she began to elucidate upon Rusalka's history he did listen, and even imagined himself back home upon the beaches. He envisioned what it might have been like to fight in such a battle and that stilled his energies. To bring glory to his family was all that Reyes wanted. To keep them safe, to strengthen their holding wherever it may be.

Thus when Erzulie spoke of the future, he was all ears. Unaware of what claiming a land might entail (and again, thinking of how much fun it would be with Nieve and their siblings to aid him) he hastily parrots, Of course, maman. I'll do anything.
