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.

[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]

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

[gwenhwyfar]

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

[afullmoon]

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

[gwenhwyfar]

You couldn't sense them, could you?

[afullmoon]

I wouldn't know. There have been some strange smells and people I've worked with, but nothin confirmed.

[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?]

[goddess_allure]

Been wronged by the 'fair folk'?

[gwenhwyfar]

You poor boy! What would you ever do if the host came across you?

[gwenhwyfar]

Punished. They took my eye.

[afullmoon]

Shit my pants?

[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.

[gwenhwyfar]

[That's just. Going to earn a thump on your head.]

[goddess_allure]

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

[ruinate]

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

[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.

[gwenhwyfar]

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

The sidhe took my eye.

[afullmoon]

[Hey that hurt.]

Hey! I'm a werewolf, but I know I ain't got a chance against the Wild Hunt or any Host 'far as I know.

[macbastaird]

No good comes to those who see the Otherworld before their time, you know. No good. Misfortune and pain... like curses from the very Gods you should love.

[He looks away, cursing softly beneath his breath.] Never asked to see these things, did I?

[He returns his gaze to her and smiles in that secretive manner.] If the Otherworld was filled with lovely folk as you, I wouldn't mind letting my soul return.

[gwenhwyfar]

Iron would give you the smallest of chances.

[See, there's a reason why the base of this spear is iron.]

[goddess_allure]

[She has no love for humans, they are only fit to be crushed in her view. However losing just an eye doesn't seem that fitting of a punishment for the crime, but the fair work differently from the Jötunn.]

It sounds like you were fortunate that they only took one eye. Where am I from, death would be the penalty for such a crime.

[If it was done to beings other than the mortals.]

[ruinate]

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

[gwenhwyfar]

[Boy, she doesn't know what to do with you. Although you're reminding her of her good friend...]

Misfortune and pain? Yes. But curses?

Not unless one thinks that they are above the Gods themselves. They will be more than happy to punish those who put themselves above them.

[WHAT DO WITH COMPLIMENTS.]

[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.
