"Like in the book."

"Right..wait, what book?"

He gives the title, which the player has forgotten.

Eyebrow. "Like D&D?"

"I love it." Then blushes.

"I never heard of that game in my life" Zane says with a frown "We should talk to Symon."

"Is he like you?!?"

She fidgets again, trying to look smaller - a curve in her shoulders, head down.

"Okay... Adam, your parents, are either of them... odd? Different?"

That from Siv

Nadeen says to Dagmar 'Stop that. You are wonderful. You are what you're meant to be."

"No, They are not!!" Taking umbridge.

Purple, and mumbling something to Nadeen about it being okay.

"Sam, what's wrong?"

"I'll tell you what's wrong..." Nadeen says defensively striding into view "You. She's a troll, she's supposed to be big and you're treating her like it's not normal. Well 'normal' is your world. Ours is wonderful. SHE is wonderful, and I will not have you make her feel wrong."

Jaw drop.

"I hope that's not what he he meant to do" Siv says "Easy, Nadeen"

"Whoa... coming on too strong" Zane says to Nadeen

"Nadeen..."

"What?" Nadeen says but her mein dies down.

"Woah...." reverently.

She swallows. "Sorry. Don't know what... it... so..."

"So, like, if not your parents... an aunt or grandparent? You might have... um.. you might be related to one of us."

"It's cool... " Zane says

"It was just my mom and me till she married dad. No one else."

"So you don't know your bio-dad?"

"Nah."

"Well, maybe it was him." She shrugs.

"Him What? You mean I could be related to you through him? Why aren't I blue?"

"Dude. We're not all trolls" Zane says

"Well, maybe you aren't a troll..." A nod at goat-legged Zane.

"Zane? Dude...."

"Satyr" He says "We're the cool ones" A grin.

Siv tilts her head, "He looks a little like the Count"

"The who? Like.... Sesame Street?"

"Pointed ears, yeah. So sidhe?"

"Well, others have pointed ears too" Siv says "But.." She snickers "No not like the purple vampire puppet "

"She who? Her?" Probably in reference to Nadeen.

"Nadeen's a sidhe, yeah."

"Yes me...but 'Sidhe' in this cause is S-I-D-H-E' " Nadeen Says "Not just S-H-E"

"But it's s-i-d-h-e, not s-h-e. Welsh is dumb."

"Like.... in the book, elves?"

"Can... can we see the book?"

Siv says "You are Gwydion, you know? It's a Welsh house" To Dagmar

"It's at home. "

"Yeah, but the language is still dumb."

"We could go get it?"

"I think we have to" Siv says "Right of ignorance"

"Like this!?!?!"

"No one else can see us like this, not mortals anyway" Nadeen sniffs, "Well, most mortals can't."
