Remember to wear green today, dears, unless you want to be pinched. Despite what the people on the street might tell you, drinking is optional.

I always did like Saint Patrick's Day. Not just for my being Irish, but because everyone's enjoying themselves so much.

[badhipsvampire]

What is your name, dearheart?

audio;

[chroimilis]

[ Almost reluctantly: ]

Gráinne.

audio;

[badhipsvampire]

...The pursuit of Diarmuid and?

audio;

[chroimilis]

A Ghrá. [ It's easy enough for her to say, the passion behind the term making it impossible for her to translate into the easily spoken common language. ]

audio;

[badhipsvampire]

I've never met someone so famous before.

audio;

[chroimilis]

Famous? For what exactly? I did not think I was a wife worthy of being famous.

audio;

[badhipsvampire]

Not many people from so long ago are still known at all in 2012.

audio;

[chroimilis]

Ah, is that it? [ Well, that's not too bad. ] Then he and I, we are renowned lovers? That makes me happy to hear.

audio;

[badhipsvampire]

You are. I'm glad you're happy - would 'dear' not be appropriate?

audio;

[chroimilis]

I don't mind it too much. [ Really, she's just happy to be talking with someone. The past week has been strange, what with husband number one disappearing and all. ] This world is strange and the people even moreso.

audio;

[badhipsvampire]

I've always liked the people here.

audio;

[chroimilis]

They tend to misunderstand me too much.

audio;

[badhipsvampire]

They mean well.

audio;

[chroimilis]

Pardon my skepticism, but I believe otherwise.

audio;

[badhipsvampire]

That's all right. I hope people are kinder to you soon.

audio;

[chroimilis]

For a while, I thought to have held a reputation I knew nothing about. It seems people just lack the patience to deal with someone so... ah, the word I am trying to think of is a difficult one.

audio;

[badhipsvampire]

Displaced?

audio;

[chroimilis]

Yes. That sounds right.

audio;

[badhipsvampire]

We'll be displaced together. I haven't been outside in the sun for a hundred years or so - that isn't as much, but it's something.

audio;

[chroimilis]

Why not? The sun's beautiful.

audio;

[badhipsvampire]

It used to burn me very badly.

audio;

[chroimilis]

I have never heard of such a condition. A shame since the light it provides to the planet is essential.

audio;

[badhipsvampire]

I was very sickly before.

[She sounds a little awkward. She's afraid of telling people that she was a vampire... it gets a lot of stigma.]

audio;

[chroimilis]

I am sorry to hear of that. Are you better now though?

audio;

[badhipsvampire]

Yes, I am. Coming here has done me good.
