Satire is rich as it sprouted from other's tongue. Between tone and attire it was difficult to take any amount of seriousness in words. All had been a careless whim after all. But if just to entertain the notion of common ground would obligation be given to. So that's her thing. "How much time do you have? This lecture will be a rather long one."
"I've always got time for my partner." Yes -- a team building exercise. "Obviously you can cut out the personal stuff that you don't wanna talk about, I don't need to know everything. But to me, it's sort of all mixed in a millieu of mythology and increasingly marketable kings. Today's fairies... it's hard to trace the line between you 'n' them." Privately, Riley figured it was some sort of lost in translation thing. Arthurian fae were different from domovoi, different from fair folk, but globalization lumped them all together under the same English mud.
"Not in the sense of 'old things used to be better,' mind. More that old things used to be different."
