Mun just saw Rise of the Guardians, and it woke him up.

[doubleroseknight]

And t'think, there was once a time when I, too, was considered a 'bogeyman' of sorts. Ah, memories.

Still, awakened though I am, ye still have no plans for me. Perhaps ye might consider changin' that? Just a thought.

Ye had it comin', Tam.

HOLY SHIT A JANET

[doubleroseknight]

Ah, did I, nou?

I HAD TO after how she told him "game on" after she picked the rose

[faeroses]

It'all depends. Did ye really take otha girls' maidenheads?

Honestly, I never thought I'd see anyone who even knew who he was, much less a Janet.

[doubleroseknight]

Aye, love. Why else would the songs warn of me?

Ye were th'first t'turn the tables on me, though, Fair Janet.

my half-scottish grandma made sure I knew Scottish folktales

[faeroses]

Aye. Young Tam, th' sweet babe, is proof, is he not?

Good for her!

[doubleroseknight]

Indeed he is. [Although he does look a bit pained at these words.]

It's been a long time, Lass.

she gave me the original folktale, said that I could "handle it" pfft

[faeroses]

[ She still smiles, your witty lass. ]

Aye. Tho I only just awoke this morn to ye bouncin' our bonnie lad upon yer knee.

Oh dear, how old were you at the time? The story's not exactly... child-friendly.

[doubleroseknight]

[And here's the point in which they differ.]

For me... four centuries have passed. Faerie's touch had left its mark, and while I remained young, I watched ye and th'lad grow old and die.

Mere memories could never do your beauty justice, Fair Janet.

about seven. I started reading greek myths at that age, too

[faeroses]

[ It is troubling, but it's nothing that Janet hadn't considered when she came back for Tam in the forest. ]

Flatterer. Ye always 'ave been. Did'we give ye good memories, Tam?

[doubleroseknight]

The ones I hold dearest in my heart.

And let me assuage your worries by sayin' that I've never loved again. [That's not to say he's exactly been celibate for 400 years, but he's never loved another like he had Janet.]

[faeroses]

Stop yer worryin'. I see it in yer brow. While I am breathin', yer mine. But when my last breath leaves my body...I have'ta realse ye back to the world.

[doubleroseknight]

I may have become half Fae, Fair Janet, but my feelings are not so fickle. Ye shall always be my dearest love, no matter how many centuries may pass.

Not a day goes by that I dinnae miss ye.

[faeroses]

[ her cheeks flush and she beams. ] If ye love me so much then why do ye not kiss yer dear wife?

[doubleroseknight]

Perhaps I was waiting for an invitation?

[And with that, he scoops her up into his arms and kisses her softly upon the lips, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his mouth the entire time.]

[faeroses]

Aye, I invite ye.

[ She squeaks when he scoops her up, but laughs and returns the kiss with fervor, throwing her arms about him and holding on nice and tight. ]
