Balmoral’s thoughts on the Unseelie, the Seelie and their king 😁
"The Unseelie Court is mah hame. There are things t' love. Things t' hate. And all the things in-between. Ah may have bias but ah can't imagine being anywhere else. The best ah can say is that it is noisy. Life's going 'round til the morn and then some. And it's not just fae in our Court, witches, all manner of infernal and vagabonds of all sorts find their way here. Whether they find a home or find themselves bound...well, who's to say? But despite it all there's a peace even in the rough and tumble, there's an unspoken sort of ruling in the everyday and it makes it easier for ever--enough. Easier for enough folk."
"Ah havnae been to the Seelie in a long time--being sealed off an' all--but ah I do recall the time ah had accompanied the king to chatter about our relation. For a long time ah imagined it to be pure magic, real gorgeous sort. The Seelie is but it was so scattered and lonely feelin'. Windin' paths with nary a soul lest it be in a carriage. Their scheme so far from the palace, we roamed for a while before finding it. Far cry from the bustle of the Unseelie. Ah was disappointed if anything."
"As for the king. Ah havnae met the lad yet. At least who he is now. Ah doubt he'd remember but ah remember being present when the lovely Queen came by. At her side was a wee bairn that clung to her hip and under her skirt. His eyes cautiously eyeing us. Can't judge much with a barra, you know? But from what ah have heard, he's solid. Breaking their isolation, barring the glamored mortals, and so quickly grappling with the rulers of lands beyond. To some extent he's foolhardy but A've never been one to fault someone so firm on what he wants done. Can't wait to see what he's made of."
