canon is the Secret of Kells

[throughmanyages]

Mundane,

You couldn't even finish a few "musebox threads"...what makes you think this is going to be any easier? Not that I have any idea how all of this works anyway. And I don't want to. I'd much rather be back in my forest.

In my experience you can wnat as much as you wish. Yet we are still little more than slaves to these wretches.

[throughmanyages]

[Aisling giggles] I am not a slave. I could disappear if I wanted to, and she'd never catch me.

[notyourlittlewolf]

We're victim to their whims. How else could you describe our fate?

[throughmanyages]

It may be your fate, but it isn't mine. I'll live much longer than she will.

[notyourlittlewolf]

[He grunts.]

Then what are you, childling?

[throughmanyages]

[Aisling just gives him this look.]

[notyourlittlewolf]

[He stares back. This could go on forever.]

[throughmanyages]

[No it couldn't, because Aisling would get bored. Which she does.] What are you?

[notyourlittlewolf]

An elf. What are you?

[throughmanyages]

I protect the forest. What is an elf?

[notyourlittlewolf]

What does it matter? It is merely what I am.

[layeredcake]

You have a forest?

[throughmanyages]

A big forest. [smug faerie is smug, yes]

[layeredcake]

[Impressed magical girl is impressed, yep.]

Ooooh, really? Do you live there?

[throughmanyages]

[Aisling is not impressed.] It wouldn't be my forest if I didn't live there, would it?

[layeredcake]

That's so neat, so neat~! What's it like?

[throughmanyages]

It's better than any other forest you've ever seen. [she might be a bit biased...]

[spacedrmccoy]

And I'd rather be back on my ship, but we can't have everythin', darlin'.

[throughmanyages]

[SUSPICIOUS] The Northmen came on ships.

[she's referring to Vikings, here]

[spacedrmccoy]

Well I can assure, ya, I am most certainly from the South.

The name's McCoy.

[throughmanyages]

[still not convinced] If you're invading, you can go right back to where you came from.

[spacedrmccoy]

[He holds up his hands.]

I most certainly am not! I'm a Doctor, little miss, not an invaider.

[throughmanyages]

What is a doctor?

[spacedrmccoy]

A doctor is a man of great learnin'. I'm a Doctor of Medicine, I help sick people get better.

[flowing_kinetics]

You own a forest?

[Yes, Akira. That is exactly what she meant.]

[throughmanyages]

Nobody owns it.

HEY THAR

[alwaysmoony]

Don't all forests have their magic?

LONG TIME NO SEE, REMUS

[throughmanyages]

Not all forests have my magic.

[alwaysmoony]

They will with you there, won't they?

[throughmanyages]

But it won't be my forest. [she might be a wee bit possessive. but hey, she's lived there for hundreds of years, so.]

[thecricketer]

And I imagine your forest wants you back, but I'm sure you can both make the best of things.

[throughmanyages]

I don't want to make the best of things, I want to go home.

[thecricketer]

Sometimes...we need to take the next best.

[throughmanyages]

[sry Five, you're dealing with a brat here] I don't have to if I don't want to.

[far_darrig]

[Knows a fellow faerie when he sees one so he switches to really really really old Gaelic with a smile]

These humans really like to impose their will don't they?

[throughmanyages]

[Aisling responds in the same language with ease]

They can try.

[far_darrig]

Of course.

[curiousing]

Muns are funny creatures but dreadfully entertaining all the same!

[throughmanyages]

What sort of creature are you? [she might be a little bit afraid. maybe.]
