On being confused for one of the "fair folk".

[gwenhwyfar]

I believe I have every right to be offended. Especially since Danu's precious sidhe are largely responsible for their ride from the west, don't you think? Gwyn ap Nudd at least keeps his hoard under his thumb.

Naw, you can't be one of those folk. You ain't got the wings for it.

[gwenhwyfar]

They don't have wings, they can be amongst you and you would never know.

[afullmoon]

The glamor, right. Sorry darlin. Bad joke there.

[gwenhwyfar]

You couldn't sense them, could you?

[macbastaird]

But you are terribly, terribly fair, my lady. Such a pretty sight, any could mistake you for one of them- if they didn't know what they really looked like.

[gwenhwyfar]

I can assure you, you do not want to lay eyes on them.

[macbastaird]

But I've seen them before, many things you know. The mist is filled with all sorts of things. But even with that [He points to her bandaged arm] you'd never be as terrifying as them.

[It's a compliment?]

[gwenhwyfar]

...

[It's the weirdest compliment, but at least she doesn't snap at you.]

I have seen it first hand. I've been dragged to the Otherworld, I know what lies in that mist.

[goddess_allure]

Been wronged by the 'fair folk'?

[gwenhwyfar]

Punished. They took my eye.

[goddess_allure]

A rather harsh punishment, if I might ask, what was your crime?

[gwenhwyfar]

Devouring the flesh of humans along with others like me. Done by a foolish teenaged girl who thought she was invincible.

I'd say the punishment fits.

[ruinate]

No friend of Avalon, I see. What viciousness did the sidhe unleash upon you?

[gwenhwyfar]

Avalon? I am an ovate, taught by the druid Myrddin Wyllt himself.

The sidhe took my eye.

[ruinate]

I know no druid of that name. [ LMAO PAINFULLY HISTORICALLY INCORRECT CANON. doesn't even do legends right. ] Did they. Why?

[gwenhwyfar]

Either you know of Myrddin or you know of Nimue. The both of them are the most prominent druids. [And Avalon ain't got nothing on Inis Mona.]

It was punishment for my pride as a girl.

I had to

[visionofwords]

[Glare.

GLARE.]

What's wrong with fairies?

IT'S ALL GOOD. she'll just be shaking cold iron at you

[gwenhwyfar]

For starters if the sluagh didn't take my eye...

OH BOY

[visionofwords]

Well what did you do? We don't do that for no good reason. I know that.

[servesthehuman]

Issues with the fair folk, hmm? Well, I must admit that we can be a bit trifling sometime, some more than others.

[gwenhwyfar]

I suppose that depends on where your lot rides from, doesn't it?

[servesthehuman]

Avalon, specifically. Earth, not specifically.

[master_of_tricks]

One wonders if they might be offended as well for the suggestion. It's hard to tell with them though.

If I might inquire, is there a particular reason you are offended?

[gwenhwyfar]

The sluagh do not care, the others may.

And for starters, they took my eye.

[master_of_tricks]

Of course.

As good a reason as any to hate the fair folk. Though, where they having a spot of fun, or did you happen to accidentally 'offend' them in person?
