[Euri isn't entirely sure what happened. One moment she was out in the forest, gathering some herbs for another batch of potions for her mother. She had managed to climb up one of the smaller giant mushrooms in other to gather some rare hanging dragon's breath, when everything suddenly changed. That mushroom changed into a metal street light, and all the trees had become huge, ugly brick buildings. From green to... greys and browns.

With a squeak of surprise she lets go of the street light, landing very unceremoniously onto the sidewalk and the contents of her basket ending up scattered all over. The only not completely terrible thing about her change in situations is that it's late evening and the street looks empty, so it seems no one saw any of that.

Several choice swears later Euri is pushing herself to her feet, glancing about thoroughly confused. What the fuck? She stays a deer in headlights for several minutes before she decides to do the first thing that comes to mind, and that is awkwardly moving to gather up her basket and its spilled contents.]

What do you mean?

[fff cackles]

Humans are much easier to work with then other fairies, in my experience...~

Why's that? Wouldn't it be easier working with your own kind?

[His family is made of backstabbing assholes that's why 8'|]

No, not really, my dear. They're off doing their own things and rarely is it interesting~

What kinds of things? [Clearly she doesn't share his opinion. She's never met real fairies before, why wouldn't they be interesting?]

Court business. Trooping. It's all incredibly... routine. [And the way he says that is like routine is the worst insult in the world]

[She's never heard of any of that stuff! Exciting!!]

Trooping?? What's that?

[...looks at her for a bit. lksjdf HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT THAT IS OMG]

Everyday at dawn and dusk, the Seelie assemble into a line and walk someplace new.

[Oh.

That's... disappointing.]

... Why do they do that?

[LKSJDFLKJ he told you it was boring, brosis]

They are compelled~ The Unseelie do similar, though of course they're usually less organized about it...

[Fortunately their food will be arriving now, so she can at least eat while interrogating him! She eyes her plate a little suspiciously, not digging in right away.]

What's the difference between Seelie and Unseelie?

Nothing really, my dear. The division is arbitrary, built on old feuds. Neither will recognize the similarity in the other. [...lskjdf Ran has a lot of Bitter Feelings on the subjects of the courts w h o o p s]

[But he will take a bite of his now, watching her to see if she'll... actually eat ffff]

Then which one are you?

[She'll poke at her curry a bit, before taking an experimental bite.

... And a moment later she is stuffing her face.]

[Oh good ('8 Grinning at her and definitely eating at a more normal pace]

Solitary, at the moment.

[She nods, chewing her food. Given how he spoke about the Seelie and Unseelie that doesn't surprise her too much.]

Then do you have a preference between them?

Nnno. [Absolutely not 8'| Little sigh. Kinda... idly, as he pokes at his food: ]

Unfortunately, I have old debts to both sides, and my Name is bound to Cernunnos' service... though he is kind enough to invoke it only when he must.

Your name? What are you talking about?

[...eh]

Yes, my Name, dear. He is one of the few who knows it...

Why is that important?

[...wait what. What. What]

It's... I'm a fairy, dear. My Name is ah. Rather powerful. [...] Is that not how it works where you're from then?

I don't know, I never met any fairies back home. Does this mean Ran isn't your real name?

[...oh dear. Careful Euri 8'|]

Of course not, darling.

Then how'd you come up with 'Ran'? [Shhh she's curious.]

[Oh well that's definitely the better path of questions to go down, yes... Laughs a little]

It's short for Rangley, my dear.

- Rangley?? How the fuck did you come up with that??
